    The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) has issued a justification for a sole source contract with The Achievement Network, Ltd. (ANet) to implement an Assessment Data Use and Implementation Pilot Project over 12 months. The initiative aims to enhance educational practices and student outcomes across DoDEA, specifically in nine districts, by developing a structured protocol for data analysis and instructional planning. Key priorities include establishing a consistent framework for professional learning, accelerating effective teaching practices, and empowering staff to use data effectively. The justification cites the unique qualifications of ANet, stating that no other vendor can meet DoDEA’s stringent requirements within the necessary timeframe due to the need for established assessment tools tailored to DoDEA’s content standards. DoDEA's thorough market research confirms that existing vendors lack the specific capabilities required. Additionally, the pilot will serve as a precursor for a competitive solicitation for a broader rollout following successful implementation. The agency is focused on continuous monitoring of potential competition to enhance future opportunities for broader participation in the procurement process.
