About this IDV
The Institute of Museum and Library Services established a Blanket Purchase Agreement with Mathematica Inc. on September 26, 2023, against the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule, with a $4 million ceiling through September 29, 2028. Mathematica is a woman-owned research and data analytics consultancy.
The BPA funds research and evaluation activities supporting IMLS's learning agendas across three primary domains: children's learning, equity, and the future of museums. Work is performed in Washington, DC.
Recent BPA calls reflect the agency's sustained investment in learning agenda evaluation. In September 2026, three calls totaling $1.7 million were issued: a $521,112 evaluation of the 21st Century Museums Professionals Program learning agenda and workforce modernization (completion September 30, 2027); an $815,092 evaluation of the adult reading literacy learning agenda under 20 U.S.C. 9108 (completion December 31, 2028); and a $388,238 evaluation of the INSPIRE Grant Program for Small Museums learning agenda under 20 U.S.C. 9108 (completion October 24, 2027). In September 2025, a $279,661 call extended option year 2 of early children literacy and future of museums evaluations for FY26, including facilitation of discussion sessions at Five Freedom 250 Literacy Convenings. A $707,664 call in September 2024 extended three learning agenda studies for FY25 and partially reinstated work previously terminated for convenience, restoring the Future of Museums and Early Children Literacy evaluation tasks. An April 2024 call valued at $269,779 addressed employee viewpoint survey analysis to improve agency grantmaking. An initial September 2023 call of $840,402 launched the learning agenda research and evaluation activities across all three task domains. All calls are firm fixed price.
