About this award
The Institute of Education Sciences (IES) awarded a delivery order valued at $1.9M to Activate Research Inc., a Washington, D.C.-based women-owned small business, to provide advisory and assistance services supporting data collection and operations activities for the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) program. The contract, which commenced May 13, 2024, and concludes February 12, 2029, is structured as a firm fixed-price delivery order issued under the Procurement of Research Evaluation and Statistics Task Orders (PRESTO) multiple award contract vehicle. PRESTO, a $2B indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract managed by IES through February 2028, consolidates education research and statistical support services across five functional categories including education sciences support, assessment development, communications, recruitment, and operational support. No set-aside designation was applied to this specific delivery order.
Activate Research Inc. brings substantial expertise in federal education data initiatives, having established itself as a key contractor to IES and the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) through previous work on the Civil Rights Data Collection, the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS), and communications coordination for education statistics programs. The company's engagement on this IPEDS task order aligns with its core competencies in research evaluation, data management, and statistical analysis services. The contract carries no small business set-aside, though the awardee maintains its certification as a women-owned small business and has successfully competed for multiple woman-owned small business designated contracts within the education research space.
