About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center is soliciting proposals for a Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Network on behalf of the Office of Head Start (OHS) within the Department of Health and Human Services. The procurement seeks to award twelve separate Time and Materials (T&M) contracts, one for each Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Region, to provide comprehensive training and technical assistance services to approximately 1,700 Head Start grantees nationwide. The contracts will focus on improving Head Start program quality, addressing monitoring findings, enhancing school readiness, and supporting staff professional development. Potential offerors must submit detailed technical and pricing proposals by April 8, 2025, at 11:30 AM ET, with questions due by March 14, 2025. Evaluation will likely include assessments of past performance, technical approach, staffing capabilities, and pricing, with an anticipated contract award in July 2025.
The solicitation is a full and open competition on an unrestricted basis, with no specific small business set-aside, though non-small businesses must submit a subcontracting plan targeting various small business categories. The contracts are classified under NAICS code 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services) with a size standard of $15 million. Each contract will have an eleven-month base period followed by four twelve-month option periods, totaling fifty-nine months of potential performance. The total estimated contract value across all twelve regions appears to range between $34.5 million and $39.6 million, with individual regional contract values varying from approximately $798,000 to $5.8 million depending on regional requirements. Regional contracts will cover geographic areas including standard state groupings, as well as specialized regions serving American Indian/Alaska Native and Migrant and Seasonal Head Start recipients across multiple states.
