About this award
The Institute of Education Sciences (IES), a component of the U.S. Department of Education, awarded Westat, Inc. a $17.4 million definitive contract on January 17, 2013, to implement U.S. participation in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2015. PISA is a triennial international assessment that evaluates 15-year-old students' performance in reading literacy, mathematics literacy, and science literacy, with periodic assessment of supplemental competencies including problem-solving and financial literacy. This contract, structured as a cost-plus-fixed-fee agreement with an ultimate completion date of July 16, 2021, encompassed data collection activities throughout the United States and the production of comparative reports benchmarking U.S. student performance against international participants. The work was performed at Westat's Rockville, Maryland facility, and no small business set-aside designation was applied to this award.
Westat engaged three major subcontractors to support contract execution. Educational Testing Service (ETS), a nonprofit assessment organization headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey, supported development of the PISA Young Adult Follow-up Study database beginning January 2, 2017, to facilitate research analysis for the National Center for Education Statistics. Hager Sharp, Inc., a Washington, D.C.-based communications firm, was contracted on March 25, 2013, to conduct recruitment research including focus groups with principals and students, development of outreach materials, and strategy refinement to improve school and student participation rates in the assessment. Occasions Inc. was subcontracted on the same date to provide logistical support including meeting planning, conference facilities, lodging, and travel arrangements for training sessions, meetings, and data collection activities across the program's duration.
