About this opportunity
The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) is soliciting vendor-hosted, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) secondary-level social studies databases to support grades 6-12 curricula, including Advanced Placement courses. The procurement requires products that provide full-text digital library content accessible 24/7 throughout school buildings and remotely, with licensing structured on a per-student and per-staff model rather than site-based or per-building arrangements. Key requirements include Section 508 accessibility compliance, FedRAMP Level 2 certification for cloud services, integration with MackinVision and platforms such as Clever, Google Classroom, and Schoology, and provision of training and technical support with a one-business-day response time for 90% of support requests. Evaluation will be based primarily on technical approach, with price as the secondary factor, with both criteria assessed according to a five-point rating scale. The deadline for written questions is April 14, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. EST, and quotations must be submitted by April 24, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. EST (extended from the original April 21 deadline via amendment on April 14).
This is an unrestricted procurement with no small business set-aside designation. The base contract period runs from May 11, 2026 through May 10, 2027, covering approximately 26,908 packages, with four optional one-year periods extending through May 10, 2031, with decreasing quantities annually (ranging from 26,639 to 25,848 packages). No incumbent contractor or award value has been identified in the solicitation documents. The contract will be firm-fixed-price for the base year and each option year, with vendors required to submit detailed pricing for all contract line items using the government-provided template. Performance and delivery will take place at DoDEA headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia 22350, with the government point of contact identified as Jude Scally for technical matters and Hillary Turnbull serving as the Contracting Officer.
