About this IDV
The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy awarded a $99 million Blanket Purchase Agreement to MDRC, a New York-based nonprofit research organization, on September 5, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of September 4, 2028. This single-award, non-set-aside contract establishes an indefinite delivery vehicle for workforce development research and related services. MDRC specializes in designing, evaluating, and supporting evidence-based social programs focused on improving outcomes for low-income individuals and families across education, employment, child and family welfare, and social policy domains. The BPA enables streamlined procurement of MDRC's research, evaluation, technical assistance, and data analysis services without requiring extensive competitive procurement processes for individual task orders issued under the agreement.
Under this BPA framework, federal agencies may issue task orders for specialized research projects and program evaluations. A representative task order issued on August 12, 2024, valued at $669,199.62 on a firm fixed-price basis, supported the Inclusive Strategies for Economic Mobility Research Portfolio with performance in Washington, DC and completion by February 12, 2025. MDRC's contract work encompasses rigorous impact studies, program evaluations, technical assistance delivery, and evidence-based policy research that supports federal agency decision-making across multiple departments including the Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services, and Administration for Children and Families. The organization's established expertise and track record of delivering high-quality research services across diverse social policy areas make this BPA a key vehicle for advancing evidence-based policymaking within the federal government.
