Family & Child Education (FACE) Evaluation and Data Support

The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) is seeking a contractor to provide Family & Child Education (FACE) Evaluation and Data Support services under NAICS code 611710. The primary objectives include evaluating program effectiveness, maintaining the FACE portal and dashboards, delivering comprehensive data reporting, conducting training, and supporting ad hoc data requests. Potential contractors must submit their capabilities by December 20, 2024, at 5:00 PM Mountain Time via email to nicole.rahmer@bie.edu, with submissions limited to 5 pages. Required submission information encompasses contractor details, unique entity identifier (UEI), socioeconomic category, point of contact information, relevant past performance documentation, and a spreadsheet indicating supported schools. The BIE will utilize these submissions to determine whether the procurement will be a set-aside or conducted through full and open competition.

The pre-solicitation notice does not specify a particular set-aside designation, though Indian-owned businesses are explicitly encouraged to participate as prime or subcontractors. All businesses must maintain an active System for Award Management (SAM) registration to be considered. Work will predominantly be performed at the contractor's location, with some travel anticipated. While specific award values are not detailed in the notice, the contract will involve comprehensive program evaluation and data management services for the FACE program. The government reserves the right to conduct follow-up capabilities briefings with selected respondents, suggesting a multi-stage evaluation process. Contractors should be prepared to demonstrate expertise in educational support services, data analysis, and training delivery within the context of Indian education programs.
