The purpose of this Amendment is to delete Exhibit D and replace it with the Exhibit D below.

The Department of Education has determined that it is in the Government’s best interest to extend the existing 2008-2012 NAEP Alliance contracts through March 2013. Therefore, all activities described in the PWS that was posted on May 23, 2012 as required up through the 2013 NAEP data collection will no longer be part of this solicitation. Analysis and Reporting of the 2013 data collected in 2013, including special studies will remain a part of this solicitation. Offerors should prepare their proposals accordingly.

During the contract period of performance, the National Assessment Governing Board may decide to revise the schedule, which would affect the activities above.

Activities in RED for 2013 (i.e., pilot testing, the operational assessments, and the analysis and reporting for 2012 LTT Math and Reading) will be performed under existing contracts and are no longer included in this solicitation. A pilot of Science items in 2013 is no longer being considered and has been deleted from the “top-level” work-plan.
