The programming languages required are Python for Coding I and II, and Java for AP Computer Science A. The courses must be accredited by recognized organizations like MSA, NEASC, WASC, or Cognia, be accessible via Single Sign On through DoDEA's LMS, and offer rolling start dates to accommodate different US and overseas school calendars.

Question # Solicitation Reference Question Answer
1 PWS 2.2.1 Accreditation
Can you provide more rationale for the accreditation requirement for non-AP courses if the classes are going to be taught by DoD teachers? Typically accreditation is for the teaching entity, not for the curriculum provider. Are you willing to accept solicitations from vendors that aren't accredited?
The accreditation requirement ensures that the contractor providing the curriculum meets nationally recognized educational standards. Per PWS 2.2.1 Accreditation: Be accredited by a nationally recognized school accreditation organization such as Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges (MSA), New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), and Cognia (formerly Advanced), the parent organization of three major accreditation agencies which includes the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI), Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC), and Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS
CASI).
2 PWS 1.3 Scope of work Are there any preferred or required functionalities for the courseware, such as LMS compatibility, progress tracking, or assessment tools?
The course shall possess the following characteristics:
| 1) | Be equivalent to a year-long or two-semester unit. |
| 2) | Be accessible via Single Sign On (SSO) via DoDEA’s learning management system |
(LMS).
3) Be vendor-hosted and delivered to students via DoDEA’s LMS or hosted on DoDEA’s LMS.
4) Have rolling start dates. Note: Rolling dates are necessary to accommodate the differing calendars of US and overseas schools.
3 PWS 2.4 Task 3, Professional Learning Would DoDEA prefer a single virtual training session per cohort, or ongoing support throughout the contract term?
Professional learning is required throughout the life of the contract. Please reference the Professional Learning line items as well as PWS section 2.4 in its entirety.
4 PWS 1.3 Scope of work Will DoDEA accept proposals that include customized licensing models (e.g., per-student, per-instructor, or district-wide access)?
DoDEA requires commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) seat-based licenses for an estimated 120 seat licenses per year for AP® Computer Science Principles, an estimated 240 seat licenses per year for Coding 1, and an estimated 240 seat licenses for Coding II.
5 Could you please share which vendor was selected a for the 2019 Coding I & II requirements?
The vendor for the previous Coding I & II requirements was eDynamic Learning Inc.

7 We notice that Coding I and II are included in both the Cybersecurity Pathway and the Programming Pathway. Is the new requirement intended to serve both pathways?
Yes, it could serve both.
