Pear Deck, Inc.

Pear Deck, Inc., a for-profit educational software company based in El Segundo, California and owned by parent Liminex Inc., provides interactive slideshow software with formative assessment capabilities to the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) as a prime contractor under single-award indefinite-delivery and delivery-order vehicles. The vendor operates exclusively in full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

Pear Deck's federal capability is narrowly scoped: K-12 interactive slide software that integrates lesson banking, assessment and feedback tooling, content management, and user interaction features for military-connected students and teachers in DoDEA's global school system. The software supports customized lessons for systemwide use and includes product training, virtual professional learning sessions, technical support, and maintenance. The offering requires FedRAMP Level 2 compliance, NIST SP 800-171 controls, Section 508 accessibility, FERPA and COPPA compliance, and U.S. data residency with U.S.-citizen personnel access restriction. The software must integrate with Google Slides, PowerPoint, Schoology, Google Classroom, and Microsoft Teams.

All customer concentration resides with DoDEA: nine awards totaling $1.7 million in combined potential value across nine-year activity window (2022–2026), serving 100% of the vendor's federal footprint. Recent representative delivery orders include a $106,426 order issued May 5, 2026, for systemwide K-12 instruction support (ultimate completion May 4, 2027), a $96,855 order from September 20, 2023, for Iowa-based educational programs, and a $95,909 order from September 25, 2024, also supporting Iowa operations. The vendor holds a single-award indefinite-delivery contract (HE125426DE012) with DoDEA, awarded April 21, 2026, with a $529,601 ceiling and completion date of April 20, 2031, supporting an estimated 303,860 student licenses and 61,261 teacher licenses across DoDEA's 161 accredited schools in the Americas, Europe, Middle East, and Pacific regions.

Activity is flat at roughly one award per year through 2024–2025, with two awards in 2026. One delivery order ($106 thousand combined potential value) reaches completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure relative to the $529,601 IDC ceiling. The vendor does not operate as a subcontractor; all nine awards are prime positions. NAICS 611710 (Educational Support Services) and PSC Education/Training–General classify the work.
