Description

For over a decade—except during the pandemic, DoWEA students across all grade levels have competed in the FIRST Robotics Competition. As competition requirements evolve to match technological advances, the hardware and software utilized by students has advanced accordingly. Such changes, especially when major platform shifts occur, require changes in DoWEA’s resource lifecycle and replenishment schedules.  DoWEA’s last systemic contract for these robotics resources was awarded in fiscal year 2023. This objective is to provide DoWEA with the LEGO Education products and components identified below. DoWEA may use these products in connection with robotics activities, including FIRST Robotics (Sy26-27) and LEGO League (Sy27 and beyond). Any reference to FIRST, LEGO League, or a related competition describes DoWEA’s intended use of the products and does not expand the Contractor’s obligations beyond providing the products and product-related support expressly identified in this PWS.
