About this opportunity
The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoWEA) is seeking information on commercially available platforms to administer a school choice education voucher program supporting approximately 11,000 military dependents at U.S. bases and installations, with responses due by 1 PM EST on June 18, 2026. This is a Request for Information only and does not constitute a binding solicitation; release of a formal solicitation is contingent on pending legislative authority and appropriation of funds. The procurement carries a Total Small Business set-aside.
The estimated annual budget is $175 million. DoWEA anticipates one award for one base year and four option years. NAICS code 518210 (Data Processing, Hosting, and Related Services) applies.
The platform must be commercially available and proven, with enterprise-level financial controls capable of supporting federal audit standards. It must comply with FedRAMP authorization and DoD Cloud SRG Impact Level 4 or higher for Controlled Unclassified Information protection. Core capabilities include voucher and school management, family and student portals with verification mechanisms, financial processing with rule-based spending tracking, fraud prevention with risk-based and triggered audits, data and outcomes tracking with privacy protection, support and communication tools with Section 508 accessibility and eDiscovery compliance, and AI-driven optimization using transparent, auditable models with human-in-the-loop review. Personnel with data access must meet U.S. citizenship requirements.
Vendors must address company information and capability, technical architecture and product effectiveness, security compliance, operational capacity, financial strength, onboarding and training, pricing (non-binding estimate for base and option years), and recommendations for Government performance work statement improvement. Submissions become Government property and will not be returned. Questions must be submitted by email to Emilio Silva-Figueroa (emilio.silvafigueroa@dodea.edu) and ShaHannah Brown (shahannah.brown@dodea.edu) and are guaranteed response only if received by June 11.
