Grades 6 - 12 Health Education Instructional Resources

The Department of Defense Education Activity seeks to procure grades 6-12 health education instructional resources through a Women-Owned Small Business set-aside, but Amendment 0002 issued May 21 cancels the solicitation in its entirety, rendering the original May 18 proposal deadline void.

Before cancellation, the procurement was structured as a Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract with a base period from August 25, 2026, through August 24, 2027, and four one-year option periods, covering an estimated total value of $24 million across the full term. Place of performance is Alexandria, VA. The NAICS code is 611710 (Educational Support Services); the PSC is U009 (Education/Training—General).

The requirement called for commercial off-the-shelf, 100% digital health instructional resources aligned to the National Health Education Standards, 3rd Edition, including a 9-week course per grade (6-8) and one 0.5-credit course for high school. Estimated quantities included 1,000 to 1,750 student licenses by grade level, 39 to 42 teacher licenses per grade level, professional learning sessions for 15 participants per grade grouping, and 12 months of annual technical support. All resources required accessibility through single sign-on platforms, integration with Schoology and Google Classroom, Section 508 conformance, FedRAMP Level 2 compliance, SCORM compliance, TLS encryption in transit, and AES-256 encryption at rest. All contractor personnel accessing student personally identifiable information must be U.S. citizens with annual Privacy Act training. The contractor was required to deliver technical support within one business day of contact and maintain 24/7/365 availability except for scheduled downtime and no more than one unscheduled downtime per semester.

Evaluation prioritized technical capabilities (student resources, educator resources, professional learning and support tools) over past performance (three to five references from the past five years), with both weighted more heavily than price. Quotations required four volumes: administrative information with attachments, technical capabilities limited to 15 pages, past performance, and pricing via Excel. Questions were due May 11, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST.
