Indefinite Delivery Contract 91990023D0009

The Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences awarded multiple vendors indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts under the Procurement of Research Evaluation and Statistics Task Orders (PRESTO) master contract to support its research, evaluation, and statistics mission requirements. Potential value of the PRESTO IDIQ is $2 billion with a period of performance through February 2028. Task orders will be awarded under five scope categories including education sciences support activities, assessment development support, communications and outreach, recruitment, and operational support. Avar Consulting Inc. was awarded a PRESTO IDIQ contract to provide services and products across these scope categories to IES in fulfilling its role as the independent education research, evaluation, and statistics arm of the Department of Education.

The originating solicitation sought sources to support a follow-on to the incumbent Education Statistics Service Institute Network contract. This new PRESTO vehicle aims to encompass additional requirements supporting the entire IES mission across the Department of Education. The solicitation did not designate any set-asides and anticipated awarding multiple IDIQ contracts following industry days and the release of a request for proposals. Vendors must be approved in a task order's primary scope category to bid on that work but may subcontract in other categories.
