About this agency
The Department of Education Contracts and Acquisition Management is a civilian sub-agency that procures research, evaluation, technology, and professional services supporting the Department's education policy, data analytics, and evidence-building functions. The office manages a portfolio of consulting, software, and institutional-research contracts spanning education evaluation frameworks, learning-sciences research, and data-infrastructure modernization.
The Department has awarded 286 contracts since 2004, with combined potential value of $839.5 million and combined dollars obligated of $735.7 million. Recent activity shows 7 awards in 2022, 12 in 2023, 11 in 2024, 11 in 2025, and 15 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent recorded award date is September 30, 2026. Among 212 distinct prime contractors in the portfolio, competitive concentration is fragmented. Over the last five years, American Institutes For Research In The Behavioral Sciences leads by award count with 3 awards valued at $65.4 million combined potential value, followed by Optimal Solutions Group, L.L.C. and The Kinetic Group Sales LLC with 2 awards each. By combined potential value, American Institutes For Research dominates at $65.4 million, with Creoal Consulting LLC and Zenius Corporation trailing significantly. The top five primes account for 16 percent of recent awards by count and 8 percent by combined potential value.
The set-aside mix is heavily skewed toward unrestricted competition: 230 awards (80 percent) carry no set-aside designation. 8(a) Sole Source awards account for 10 percent of the portfolio; Total Small Business set-asides represent 6 percent. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Woman-Owned Small Business, HUBZone, and other designations each represent 1 percent or less of awards.
Two pre-solicitations are currently open. The Department is conducting market research on the What Works Clearinghouse Online Study Review Guide (OSRG; Solicitation 4701), soliciting vendor input on commercial off-the-shelf alternatives to the existing platform, with a deadline of November 10, 2026. A second pre-solicitation (IES2600005) seeks information on Datalab redesign and operations-and-maintenance services, posted July 28, 2026.
