The U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences awarded an indefinite delivery contract to ABT Associates Inc. under the Procurement of Research Evaluation and Statistics Task Orders multiple-award contract vehicle. With a potential value of $2 billion and a period of performance through February 2028, this IDV enables IES to issue task orders in support of its research, evaluation, and statistics mission across the Department of Education.
The contract establishes five primary scope categories for task order work: education sciences support activities; assessment development support; communications and outreach; recruitment; and operational support. Vendors must be approved in a given category to bid on corresponding task orders. The original solicitation sought market research and vendor capabilities across these categories to support IES's role as the independent education research, evaluation, and statistics arm of the Department of Education. No set-asides were designated for this multiple-award contract.
