The Data Analytics and Evaluation Support (DAES) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is a multiple-award contract vehicle established by the U.S. Department of Education to provide comprehensive data analytics, technical assistance, and evaluation services. The BPA enables federal agencies, primarily within the Department of Education, to issue task orders for a wide range of data-related projects spanning education research, analysis, and information management. These services encompass enterprise data repository development, data governance support, technical analysis, report generation, and digital product creation across educational domains including pre-kindergarten through postsecondary and adult career education sectors.

The task orders under this BPA exhibit consistent characteristics, typically ranging from $300,000 to $43.5 million with performance periods between two to seven years. Frequent prime contractors include Research Triangle Institute (RTI International), Applied Enterprise Management Corporation (AEM), American Institutes for Research (AIR), Accenture Federal Services, and SRI International. The majority of task orders are firm fixed-price contracts, with a few time and materials arrangements, and consistently demonstrate no specific small business set-aside designations. The contracts predominantly support offices within the Department of Education, such as the Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy Development, Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, and the Office of the Chief Data Officer. Performance locations appear to be concentrated in areas like Arlington, Rosslyn, and Research Triangle Park, Virginia, with work focused on data management, analytics, technical support, and digital product development for educational research and policy initiatives.
