PRICING SCHEDULE FOR FIXED PRICE DELIVERABLES

2015-16 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS 2016) & Postsecondary Longitudinal Studies

(ED-IES-13-R-0011)

Unless otherwise specified, deliverables shall not be physically delivered to the NCES COR. Instead, the contractor shall notify (via e-mail) the NCES COR of the deliverable's placement within the Study Monitoring Portal (SMP), indicating its availability to be downloaded, as needed. For scheduling purposes, the contractor shall allow the NCES COR 10 working days to review materials. Reports and tabulations will require longer review periods.

Due to the unique characteristics of each study, all dates on tables 1 will be finalized at the initial meeting with NCES or when the optional task for the study is exercised. The start or initiation date for the timeline will be negotiated with the COR so that data collection window falls during targeted time of the year for the study.
