BRIEF COMPANY OVERVIEW

Overview For more than five decades, EDC has pioneered strategies that bridge the worlds of research, policy, and business practice. From EDC s earliest years, we have fulfilled the distinctive roles of catalyst, experimenter, and developer and have proven to be an effective instrument for organizational improvement and renewal. EDC s award-winning programs and products, developed in collaboration with partners around the globe, consistently advance development for individuals of all ages and institutions of all types.

Approach EDC addresses critical challenges around the world in education, health, mental health and workforce. We are committed to providing consulting and education that builds knowledge and skills, engages learners as active problem solvers, and makes possible a deeper understanding of the world.

Five key principles guide all of EDC s management consulting services:

Bridging research and practice. EDC manages efforts that join the latest scientific research with the knowledge and experience of local administrators and practitioners who best understand the particular needs of their organization, agency, or program.

Using data for decision-making. EDC recognizes that any consultation must begin with a thorough understanding of the assets and needs of the organization, agency, or program involved. Staff have developed a wide array of tools and processes to gather and analyze data, including surveys, staff performance measures, outcomes indicators, and program audits.

Designing comprehensive solutions. EDC understands that most problems and challenges are highly complex and systemic. Effective consultation must take into account the local context; the assets and needs of the organization, agency, or program; and the human, financial, and other resources available to address the problem.

Collaboration. EDC has a track record of collaboration, working in partnership with client agencies, organizations, and individuals. This means building a shared vision, establishing trusting relationships, listening to and respecting other points of view, and valuing consensual decision-making.

A focus on high performance work and continuous improvement. All of EDC’s consulting work focuses on results.

We work with clients to set goals and objectives, establish performance benchmarks, and monitor progress over time. We encourage clients to develop internal structures and processes that support continuous improvement, which means ongoing cycles of planning, action, and analysis.

We also help educators develop their own research skills and strengthen their ability to base their instructional decisions on data and analysis.

EDC is a leader in providing effective processes and skills to groups of people to allow them to effectively utilize computer and information technology. We provide support and guidance to allow individuals to effectively use technology to more efficiently perform research, work functions, and community building. Expanding access to technology means helping people design and shape various technological capabilities to meet their needs and pursue their own interests.

We work with our clients to improve business practices and program management, while addressing issues of resources and system structure. EDC provides guidance on technology integration, based on the extensive research and evaluation we have conducted on such programs. We also develop innovative plans for the use of technology to enhance the student and teacher learning process.

EDC has more than five decades of experience in providing expert advice and consulting and organizational support to schools, health care agencies, social service organizations, and other entities. In addition to work at the local level, EDC has provided management consulting and organizational support to numerous federal and state agencies, along with foreign governments and international organizations.

Management and Financial Consulting, Acquisition and Grants Management Support, and Business Program and Project Management Services

EDC provides expertise in program development, organizational evaluation, continuous process improvement, counseling and mentoring, standards and curriculum development, and information technology skills development and integration. We also provide consulting services focused on delivering expert advice, guidance and counseling in support of organizational and educational improvement and leadership efforts.

Our services include performing studies, program audits and evaluations, providing on-site consulting assistance, and individual and group support activities. Focus areas also include professional development, standards alignment, research and evaluation, and policy development.

EDC consults with schools, districts, municipalities, corporations, foundations, and federal organizations on ways to make the most of their educational and public health programs. We produce policy briefings for government leaders, organize conferences and technology demonstrations, conduct formative research on pilot projects, and help technology developers determine additional teaching and learning needs that their educational processes could address.

EDC also provides customized training to varied audiences on the development of public/private partnerships, systems and program design, assessment and benchmarking, standards development, fund-raising, and staff development. Planned in collaboration with our clients, EDC ’s training is customized to specific needs and interests to assist our clients in achieving their business visions and goals. We specialize in training that focuses on the use of technology to enhance learning, creativity, and productivity. Our training is learner-centered, standards/outcomes-based and action-oriented, focusing on real world scenarios and experiences. All training is designed to meet specific needs related to organizational enhancement and improving the educational process.

A core feature of all of our training is to build the capacity of our clients to implement and sustain improvement efforts. Substantive areas of focus include team building, teacher leadership models, teacher leader support strategies, mentoring approaches, strategic planning and accountability, curriculum instruction and assessment, and benchmarking.

Program evaluation services subgroup EDC is a recognized evaluation leader with a national reputation for providing technically and methodologically rigorous and field-changing research and evaluation. EDC has demonstrated technical expertise and over five decades of experience in developing and implementing rigorous evaluation designs, including impact evaluations (i.e., evaluations that include a counterfactual through randomization or quasi-experimental methods) and outcome evaluations (i.e., evaluations that assess outcomes but are not designed to determine causality).

Our staff possess the full range of methodological skills needed to conduct high quality, rigorous evaluation and research studies. They include experts in statistical, quantitative, and qualitative approaches, and broad content knowledge needed to design and implement impact, outcome, and other key evaluation services to produce reliable and credible findings. We have a strong bench of evaluators to support our work as consultants. The strength of our evaluation expertise and knowledge, the value of our services and deliverables, and the resulting high-quality outcomes are reflected in repeat awards from federal agencies, states, districts, and foundations.

In all of our evaluations, we work collaboratively with our clients and partners to employ the most rigorous and responsive designs that are feasible and appropriate to the evaluation questions, stakeholders, participants, and contexts. At the same time, we adhere to standards of independence and objectivity. EDC is a non-partisan organization, and the work we undertake is aligned to our mission and informed by evidence-based practices. As appropriate, we use methodological, analytic, and reporting strategies (e.g., triangulation, member checks, positionality statements, technical reports) to mitigate bias, untangle confounding findings, make clear how the identities of the evaluator(s) relate or not to the topic or participants, and to allow for our methods and analyses to be reproduced or replicated.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLACING ORDERS FOR SERVICES BASED ON

GSA SCHEDULE HOURLY RATES

GSA provides a streamlined, efficient process for ordering the services you need. GSA has already determined that Education Development Center, Inc. meets the technical requirements and that our prices offered are fair and reasonable.

Orders under the Micro-Purchase Threshold

• Select the contractor best suited for your needs and place the order.

Orders in-between the Micro-Purchase Threshold and the Simplified Acquisition Threshold

• Prepare a SOW or Performance Work Statement (PWS) in accordance with FAR 8.405-2(b).

• Prepare and send the RFQ (including SOW and evaluation criteria) to at least three GSA Schedule contractors.

• Evaluate, then make a "Best Value" determination.

Note: The ordering activity should request GSA Schedule contractors to submit firm-fixed prices to perform the services identified in the SOW.

Orders over the Simplified Acquisition Threshold

• Prepare the RFQ (including the SOW and evaluation criteria) and post on eBuy to afford all Schedule contractors the opportunity to respond, or provide the RFQ to as many Schedule contractors as practicable, consistent with market research, to reasonably ensure that quotes are received from at least three contractors.

• Seek price reductions.

• Evaluate all responses and place the order, or establish the BPA with the GSA Schedule contractor that represents the best value (refer to FAR 8.405-2(d)).

BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Ordering activities may establish BPAs under any schedule contract to fill repetitive needs for supplies or services.

BPAs may be established with one or more schedule contractors. The number of BPAs to be established is within the discretion of the ordering activity establishing the BPAs and should be based on a strategy that is expected to maximize the effectiveness of the BPA(s). In determining how many BPAs to establish, consider:

• The scope and complexity of the requirement(s);

• The need to periodically compare multiple technical approaches or prices;

• The administrative costs of BPAs; and

• The technical qualifications of the schedule contractor(s).

Establishment of a single BPA, or multiple BPAs, shall be made using the same procedures outlined in 8.405-1 or 8.405-2. BPAs shall address the frequency of ordering, invoicing, discounts, requirements (e.g. estimated quantities, work to be performed), delivery locations, and time.

When establishing multiple BPAs, the ordering activity shall specify the procedures for placing orders under the BPAs.

Establishment of a multi-agency BPA against a Federal Supply Schedule contract is permitted if the multi-agency BPA identifies the participating agencies and their estimated requirements at the time the BPA is established.

Ordering from BPAs:

Single BPA. If the ordering activity establishes one BPA, authorized users may place the order directly under the established BPA when the need for the supply or service arises.

Multiple BPAs. If the ordering activity establishes multiple BPAs, before placing an order exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, the ordering activity shall:

• Forward the requirement, or statement of work and the evaluation criteria, to an appropriate number of BPA holders, as established in the BPA ordering procedures; and

• Evaluate the responses received, make a best value determination (see 8.404(d)), and place the order with the BPA holder that represents the best value.

BPAs for hourly rate services. If the BPA is for hourly rate services, the ordering activity shall develop a statement of work for requirements covered by the BPA. All orders under the BPA shall specify a price for the performance of the tasks identified in the statement of work.

Duration of BPAs. BPAs generally should not exceed five years in length, but may do so to meet program requirements. Contractors may be awarded BPAs that extend beyond the current term of their GSA Schedule contract, so long as there are option periods in their GSA Schedule contract that, if exercised, will cover the BPA’s period of performance.

Review of BPAs:

The ordering activity that established the BPA shall review it at least once a year to determine whether:

• The schedule contract, upon which the BPA was established, is still in effect;

• The BPA still represents the best value (see 8.404(d)); and

• Estimated quantities/amounts have been exceeded and additional price reductions can be obtained.

The ordering activity shall document the results of its review.
