The LMS or LCMS shall allow managers to manage, track, and quantify all of the training, continuing education, employee development, certification, and other learning activities for the Defense Property Accountability System (DPAS) and Capital Asset Management System - Military Equipment (CAMS-ME) e-learning programs. C.1. SCOPE: The scope of the contract is to obtain a suitable Learning Management System (LMS) or Learning Content Management System (LCMS) software application with licenses for a minimum of 7000 concurrent users, training, post implementation support and associated documentation. The LMS will be used to support multiple government e-learning programs. The LMS will be installed and maintained by government personnel on a government owned server located at a government site. All maintenance will be performed by government personnel. The vendor will not have access to the hosting hardware. The DPAS government program support office is located at the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) offices in Columbus, Ohio. The server location is in Ogdon, Utah. Any correspondence or shipment of product pertaining to software files or installation packages should be addressed to: DPAS SW Upgrade Project #2009090901 7879 Wardleigh Rd Bldg 891 DISA/DECC Ogden Hill Air Force Base, UT 84056 C.1.1 Terminology: C.1.1.1 The system - A Learning Management System (LMS) or Learning Content Management System (LCMS) that can be installed on a government server, by government employed system administrators. Administration, management, branding and configuration of the LMS or LCMS must be able to be performed by DFAS staff (once trained) without the assistance of the offering company and without further cost to the Government. No special code compilations by the vendor or vendor only configuration processes should be required in order for the DFAS staff to install and implement the software product. C.1.1.2 LMS - A learning management system (LMS) is a Web-based technology used to plan, implement, and assess a specific learning process. A learning management system provides an instructor with a way to create and deliver content, monitor student participation, and assess student performance. A learning management system may also provide students with the ability to use interactive features such as threaded discussions, video conferencing, and discussion forums. The Advanced Distance Learning group, sponsored by the United States Department of Defense, has created a set of specifications called Shareable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) to encourage the standardization of learning management systems. C.1.1.3 LCMS - A Learning Content Management System (LCMS) is a multi-user Web-based technology where learning developers may create, store, reuse, manage, and deliver digital learning content from a central object repository. LCMS products allow users to create and reuse digital learning content/assets. An LCMS manages the process of creating, storing and delivering learning content. Some components of an LCMS are: an authoring application (editors), a learning object repository, a dynamic delivery interface, and administration tools. C.1.1.4 Shareable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) - is an XML-based framework used to define and access information about learning objects so they can be easily shared among different learning management systems (LMSs). SCORM was developed in response to a United States Department of Defense (DoD) initiative to promote standardization in e-learning. The SCORM specifications, which are distributed through the Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Initiative Network, define an XML-based means of representing course structures, an application programming interface (API), a content-to-LMS data model, a content launch specification, and a specification for metadata records for all components of a system. C.1.1.5 Student - A student is an end-user of - the system" that is enrolled in online classes. A learner following a course of study in the LMS. C.1.1.6 Curriculum - The Top level of a course of study. Composed of Courses. The set of courses, coursework, and their content that meets the requirements for successful completion of training assignments. C.1.1.7 Course - Composed of Lessons. Education imparted in a series of lessons that meets the requirements for successful certification in the information presented. C.1.1.8 Lesson - Composed of SCO's or Modules. A unit of instruction completely covering a discrete topic. C.1.1.9 Sharable Content Object (SCO) - Composed of Objects. A standardized learning object that can communicate to learning management and content management systems. The smallest standalone piece of learning. C.1.1.10 Module - synonymous with SCO. Composed of Objects. A learning object that can communicate to learning management and content management systems. The smallest standalone piece of learning. C.1.1.11 Objects - Are learning resources. The smallest components of a SCO or Module that teach through text or images. They may be web pages, graphics, video, documents, slide shows, spreadsheets, quizzes or assessments. Some typical file types associated with these objects are: (html, doc, pdf, xls, ppt, swf, wav, gif, jpg, png). C.1.1.12 Look and Feel - The user interface of "the system". The look refers to how logos, graphics, menus and other elements are laid out on the page. The feel refers to the interactions: the way menus are organized and the way functions are selected and performed (the "method of operation"). The ability to apply the DPAS identity, (our own "Look and Feel") a unique name, color scheme, text presentation and images for our product by creating a consistent theme. C.1.1.13 Branding - synonymous with "Look and Feel" Applying the DPAS identity, (our own "Look and Feel"), a unique name, color scheme, text presentation, layout, logos, images and graphics for our product creating a consistent theme. C.1.2. BACKGROUND: The DPAS/CAMS-ME systems are currently utilizing an Angel LMS to provide e-learning for approximately 4500 students. It is operated on a single dual-core 2.2 gigahertz processor with 4 gigabytes of memory and requires less than 100 gigabytes of disk space. Current backups are taken manually. DPAS currently has approximately 92 shared content objects (SCOs) spread across 10 lessons within 30 courses. CAMS-ME currently has six lessons within one course. Courses, lessons and SCOs are added as needed to both systems. Both systems have a separate look and feel (branding) and students are separated by curriculum, courses and lessons. Student access, based on job requirements, is provided through these categories. Student information including progress and competencies is maintained by the LMS. The current LMS is Section 508 and Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) 1.3 compliant. The typical DPAS course is composed of single or multiple - lessons. These - lessons are made up of one to many Shareable Content Objects (SCO's). These SCO's are built from Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) pages, video files such as Flash, document files such as Portable Document Format (.pdf) and Microsoft Word (.doc) files and image files such as Graphical Interchange Format File (.gif), Portable Network Graphic (.png) and Joint Photographic Experts Group (.jpg). C.2.0. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS: C.2.1. Public law Section 508 1194.21, DoD Instruction (DoDI) 8500.2, Information Assurance Impl'mentation C.3.0. REQUIREMENTS/TASKS: The vendor shall provide a web based LMS or LCMS (as defined in section C.1.1 and hereafter known as - the system) with licenses for 7,000 users. Your response should be organized according to the requirements table that follows in C.3.1. Please address all items completely. If a requested feature is available now within your system, please mark Yes and respond with a succinct, yet comprehensive description of the feature. Include any screen images to illustrate features or clarify the methodology used by the system to meet the requirements. If the requested feature is not available in the proposed system, please clearly respond with - No and type - Feature not available in the comments section. DFAS will determine the offering that best meets these requirements based on the degree to which DFAS feels the offered system meets these requirements. Provide a detailed description of how - the system meets each requirement, along with supporting screen images whenever possible. Failure to provide sufficient detail to allow DFAS to make this determination will result in a lower rating in the DFAS determination of how the system meets the DFAS requirements. Any functionality offered as an illustration of how the offered system meets the requirements MUST BE INCLUDED in the price quoted in CLIN 0001. If this functionality is not included in the base system, line item costing of optional - tools must be separately identified and included in CLIN 0001, as the firm fixed-price for each quote shall be evaluated as all-inclusive. DFAS does not anticipate any additional follow-on support services from the LMS vendor. DFAS has no intent to consider a system that requires customization by the vendor or vendor assistance in the customization of the system. It is imperative that the system be ready as-is and delivered within ten (10) days after award. DFAS will not consider any system that requires vendor changes to program code in order to modify the screen appearance as viewed by the end student. The branding of the system must be able to be accomplished by the DFAS staff after vendor training. Non-responsive or non-descriptive answers will indicate a lack of support for that requirement and the applicable LMS will be rated less favorably, accordingly. The first seven (7) requirements of C.3.1 are identified as - absolutes. Failure to clearly demonstrate the ability to meet any of these requirements will result in the offeror being removed from consideration for award.
