This acquisition is designated as a total small business set-aside and will be conducted under FAR Part 12 as a Firm-Fixed-Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with simplified acquisition procedures due to its value below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.

The courseware will serve approximately 800 students across the three courses with a combined 102 teachers within DoDEA's federally operated school system of 161 fully accredited schools serving approximately 66,000 children.
