About this opportunity

The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) is seeking evidence-based science instructional resources aligned with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for grades 6-12. The solicitation requires digital student and teacher bundles, assessment supplements, and professional learning services for middle school (grades 6-8) and high school science courses, including Biology, Chemistry, and Physics with integrated Earth Science. Vendors can submit quotes for any or all sections of the requirement, with the government planning to award one or more Firm-Fixed-Price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts. The evaluation will prioritize technical approach, followed by past performance and price, with vendors required to submit 3-5 past performance references from the last 5 years. Questions were due by December 16, 2024 at 3:00 PM EST, with quote submissions due January 10, 2025 at 5:00 PM EST, and the solicitation is unrestricted with no specific set-aside designation.

The contract will cover a 5-year period of performance from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2030, with estimated quantities ranging from 2,900 to 5,600 student bundles and 62 to 110 teacher bundles across different grade levels and science subjects. The minimum order value is $10,000 with a maximum of 28,000 units per order. The place of performance is Alexandria, VA, with additional training locations including Sembach, Germany, Peachtree City, US, and Okinawa, Japan. The solicitation requires digital resources to be compatible with DoDEA's learning management system (Schoology) and comply with DoD cybersecurity requirements, including FedRAMP Level 2 standards. Total estimated contract value is not explicitly stated, but the comprehensive requirements suggest a significant investment in science instructional resources for military-dependent students across multiple global locations.
