DoDEA On-Line Encyclopedia Requirement

The Department of Defense Education Activity seeks proposals for standalone online encyclopedia licenses to support its pre-kindergarten through 12th grade curricula. Vendors are invited to provide annual licenses for an estimated 67,500 users for the base year and four option years, with quantities allowed to vary plus or minus 15% annually. Proposals will be evaluated based on the vendor's technical approach, software and technical specifications, virtual learning services, and characteristics of the proposed encyclopedia database. Proposals are due by December 2, 2019.

There is no set-aside designation for this requirement. The projected period of performance is from December 30, 2019 to December 30, 2023 at various Department of Defense Education Activity locations worldwide. Pricing terms are provided for the annual licenses based on the estimated number of users. Responses must address the attached BuyAccessible Government Product/Service Accessibility Template to ensure Section 508 compliance. An amendment clarified that the government seeks standalone licenses from any publisher rather than a specific brand.
