About this file
This is a solicitation for commercial products and services from the Selective Service System (SSS) for a Learning Management System (LMS) Moodle Modernization project. The solicitation number is 90MC0026Q0006, issued July 24, 2026, with an offer due date of August 14, 2026 at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside acquisition with a not-to-exceed value of $47,000,000, conducted under FAR Part 13.5 procedures for commercial items.
The project requires modernization of SSS's Moodle-based LMS to support approximately 7,000 routine users annually and up to 20,000 users during mobilization. Key deliverables include: LMS upgrade and integration (Task B); content development using SCORM/xAPI standards (Task C); reporting and analytics dashboards (Task D); testing, accessibility validation, and deployment (Task E); and knowledge transfer and close-out (Task F). The contract is firm fixed price with a 12-month base performance period and optional extensions. Technical requirements include upgrading to a current Moodle version with PHP 8.x support, implementing SSO/OIDC/CAC/Login.gov authentication, achieving page load times under 3 seconds, maintaining 99.5% uptime, supporting Section 508/WCAG accessibility compliance, and implementing security hardening including FedRAMP Moderate inheritance controls and Splunk Cloud centralized logging. Required staffing includes a Content Creator (6 months), Back-End LMS Administrator (12 months), and Moodle Subject Matter Expert (6 months), all requiring U.S. citizenship and Public Trust clearance. Evaluation will be based on three factors: Technical Capability and Demonstration (including government-conducted live demonstrations), Past Performance, and Price, with technical merit and performance risk being significantly more important than price.

(iii) If the Contractor provides written justification to substantiate the propriety of the markings within the period set in paragraph (e)(1)(i) of this clause, the Contracting Officer will consider such written justification and determine whether or not the markings are to be cancelled or ignored.

Clauses incorporated by reference Clauses incorporated by full text
52.212-1 ADDENDUM- NARRATIVE QUOTE PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION
INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS-COMMERCIAL ITEMS (DEC 2006)
1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: This Addendum supplements FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Products and Commercial Services. In the event of a conflict between FAR 52.212-1 and this Addendum, this Addendum shall govern.
a. Addendum to Paragraph (c) Period for acceptance of offers: Paragraph (c) is changed to read as follows: The Vendor agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 120 calendar days from the proposal due date, unless another time is specified in an amendment to the solicitation.
b. Addendum to Paragraph (h) Multiple awards. Paragraph (h) is changed to read as follows: Selective Service System intends to award a single contract because of this solicitation. Multiple awards will not be made because of this solicitation.
c. Addendum to Paragraph (g) Contract award. Paragraph (g) is changed to read as follows: The Government intends to award without discussions. Therefore, the offeror's initial submission shall contain the vendor’s best approach/terms for all the evaluation factors (technical, past performance, and price).
d. Addendum to Paragraph (I) Debriefing. Paragraph (I) is changed to read as follows: The vendors are reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on an initial narrative quote.
e. Addendum to Paragraph (b) Submission of Offers: In addition to those requirements as stated in paragraph (b), the following are added and shall apply to the submission requirements in response to this solicitation:
a. The Vendor is expected to examine this entire solicitation document. Failure to do so will be at the vendor’s own risk. The vendor’s submission must be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for SSS’s effective evaluation, and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The submission should not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements but rather provide convincing rationale to address how the vendor intends to meet all the stated requirements with their proposed solution. Vendors should assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their capabilities and experience. Accordingly, please note that the Government will base its evaluation solely on the information presented in the offeror’s submission.
Additional portions of the successful offeror’s submission may be incorporated into the contract as an attachment in the award document at the Government’s discretion.
b. Vendors shall submit complete technical quotations in accordance with these instructions. The Government intends to evaluate technical quotations and make award without unnecessary exchanges; therefore, vendors are encouraged to submit their best solution/approach and quotation initially.
However, the Government reserves the right to conduct clarifications or exchanges if determined to be in the Government’s best interest.
c. Vendors shall set forth full, accurate, and complete information as required by this solicitation package. The penalty for making false statements in submissions is prescribed in 18 U.S.C. 1001.
d. The Government intends to award a single firm-fixed-price contract.
e. A vendor submitting restricted data shall mark it as follows in accordance with FAR 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors-Competitive Acquisition, which is incorporated by reference. FAR Clause 52.215-1 states: “Restriction on disclosure and use of data. Offerors that include in their proposals data that they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, shall:
i. Mark the title page with the following legend:
This proposal includes data that shall not be disclosed outside the Government and shall not be duplicated, used, or disclosed-in whole or in part-for any purpose other than to evaluate this proposal. If, however, a contract is awarded to this vendor as a result of-or in connection with-the submission of this data, the Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the resulting contract. This restriction does not limit the Government’s right to use information contained in this data if it is obtained from another source without restriction. The data subject to this restriction are contained in sheets [insert numbers or other identification of sheets]; and
ii. Mark each sheet of data it wishes to restrict with the following legend:
Use or disclosure of data…
