Description
The Department of War Education Activity (DoWEA) is seeking market information on how a contractor could supply commercial‑off‑the‑shelf (COTS) print and digital K‑5 literacy resources—including core instruction, strategic instruction, assessments, a literacy proficiency tool, and associated professional learning, standards correlation, and technical support. DoWEA anticipates one award (or possibly two separate awards for core and strategic resources) with a performance period from April 5 2027 through April 4 2033. The effort will serve roughly 33,900 K‑5 students, 1,835 teachers, 500 special‑education/multilingual educators, and 75 above‑school‑level subject‑matter experts across DoWEA’s 160 schools worldwide and a virtual high school. Key deliverables include:
• COTS print and digital core literacy curricula aligned to CCRS‑L (K‑5)
• COTS strategic literacy materials targeting struggling readers (incl. foundations, comprehension, composition)
• Comprehensive assessment system (print/digital) with rapid scoring and reporting
• A K‑5 literacy proficiency tool (adaptive, digital, optional writing component)
• Professional learning (synchronous/asynchronous webinars, SCORM modules) for teachers, specialists, and administrators
• Technical support, platform integration (DoDEA LMS/Schoology, ClassLink SSO), and compliance with Section 508/WCAG 2.1 AA.
