The Department of War Education Activity (DoWEA) has the following requirements: For the Advanced Placement® U.S. History (APUSH) program, DoWEA requires 100% digital instructional resources aligned with the College Board APUSH curriculum framework to support approximately 1,100 students, 46 teachers, and 12 above‑school‑level subject‑matter experts. The resources must be accessible online and allow downloading of materials for internal instructional use only, such as printed worksheets or accommodations for students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 513130, Book Publishers, and the applicable Product Service Code (PSC) is 7610, Books and Pamphlets. DoWEA intends to award a sole‑source Firm‑Fixed‑Price (FFP) bridge contract pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a), as implemented by FAR 6.103(a), for an acquisition at or below the simplified acquisition threshold where the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available.

The anticipated contract will be a Firm‑Fixed‑Price contract with a one‑year base period.
