The Department of Defense Education Activity intends to modify contract number HE1254-08-D-0003 with Pearson Education, Inc. to include the leveled reader book collection "Reading Streets" that is compatible with the Integrated English Language Arts Program and shipping. DoDEA requires one of the Leveled Reader Super Kits for each of its grade 1 - 6 classrooms systemwide. This proposed contract action is for services that the Government intends to solicit with only one source in accordance with FAR Part 6.302-1. A justification for other than full and open competition has been provided (see attached Justification & Approval). This notice is not a request for competitive proposals; however, any party that believes it is capable of meeting DoDEA's requirement as stated herein may submit a written capability statement that clearly supports and demonstrates their ability to perform the requirement. All submissions must be received by the response date and time of this notice. The determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretions of the Government. Response time no later than 11 a.m. (EST) on Friday, September 4, 2009. Please e-mail inquiries to Jennifer Abi-Najm at [email protected].
