About this opportunity
The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) is seeking a contractor to provide comprehensive science instructional resources and laboratory kits for grades 6-12 and Advanced Placement (AP) courses across its 161 schools worldwide. The solicitation requires the development of lab kits for middle school courses (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics) and AP courses (Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, and Physics) that can serve 30 students each, with both physical and digital components aligned to Next Generation Science Standards. The procurement will use a best value evaluation approach, with technical approach being the most important factor, followed by past performance and price. Vendors must submit a detailed quote package including four volumes: administrative, technical (15-page limit), past performance (3-5 references), and pricing. Key deadlines include questions due by December 16, 2024, at 3:00 PM EST, and quotes due by January 10, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST.
The solicitation is set aside for total small business participation, with an anticipated contract award in March 2025 for a base period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2030. The current incumbent is Effective Communication Strategies LLC, and the contract will be a Firm-Fixed-Price Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) with a minimum guaranteed value of $10,000. The procurement covers lab kits for approximately 20-225 units per course, including refill kits, safety equipment, and professional learning components. Delivery requirements specify 30 days for US sites and 45 days for international locations, with kits needed two weeks before school openings. The place of performance is Alexandria, VA, but the resources will be distributed to DoDEA schools globally, including locations in the Americas, Europe, Middle East, and Pacific regions, serving over 67,000 military-connected students.
