About this file

This document includes a request for proposals and information on a related federal contract opportunity. The request for proposals is to conduct studies to review and potentially revise the achievement level descriptions for National Assessment of Educational Progress assessments in mathematics, reading, and other subjects. Proposals are due by August 17, 2020, with clarification questions due by July 17, 2020. The contract award is projected to be made by September 25, 2020, with a base period of 12 months and an optional 12-month period. The National Assessment Governing Board is seeking studies to review achievement level descriptions that were originally set approximately 25 years ago, as recommended by a 2016 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report. A subcontracting plan is required for large businesses.
