About this file
This document contains a request for quote for review of cost structures for the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The U.S. Department of Education seeks to award a firm fixed price contract for eight months of technical assistance and expert advice to support projects related to statistical standards, confidentiality, and data security. The solicitation was issued pursuant to FAR Subpart 12.203 and 13.5 using NAICS code 541611 with a 100% small business set-aside. Questions are due by December 30th and quotes by January 27th. The successful offeror will be prohibited from bidding on future NAEP procurements for five years and must include organizational conflict of interest clauses in subcontracts. Cost data access will be limited and requires case-by-case approval from the Department. The vendor will be expected to provide separate written reports and presentation slides for each deliverable, though the format is negotiable.
