Grades K-6 English Language Arts (ELA) Digital Curriculum Resources for DoDEA Schools

The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) intends to award a sole source contract to Pearson Education, Inc of Glenview, Illinois, for DoDEA grades K-6 Integrated ELA digital curriculum resources that support the print curriculum currently in use in classrooms. These materials will be in use until DoDEA purchases a new K-6 ELA curriculum in 2017. In order to keep its current print curriculum updated, DoDEA must purchase the digital supplemental curriculum from Pearson because it is the only one of its kind that aligns with the current Pearson print curriculum. Without the continuity the digital curriculum will provide, DoDEA will be unable to standardize instruction systemwide. This requirement is being solicited in accordance with FAR part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR part 13.5, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. However, any party that believes it is capable of meeting this requirement as stated herein may submit a written capability statement that clearly supports and demonstrates the party's ability to perform the requirement by the response date. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. All inquiries must be submitted in writing by email (no telephone inquiries will be accepted) to [email protected] with the Subject Line "HE1254-15-N-9002" by the response date and time of this notice.
