FISCAL YEAR 2015 TRACKING #IESE150235AP
Solicitation Number ED-IES-15-R-0027

The U.S. Department of Education (Department) is hosting a Vendor Collaboration Webinar Event to provide pertinent details regarding a new Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 procurement: Post High School Outcomes for Youth With Disabilities on behalf of the Departments' Institute for Education Sciences (IES), National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance (NCEE). The overarching purpose of the Post High School Outcomes procurement is to collect administrative records and describe the secondary school, postsecondary education, and employment and earning outcomes of a sample of high school youth with disabilities.

The intent of the Webinar is to allow interested parties and prospective offerors to obtain key information on the requirement, to allow for a robust understanding of the respective requirement in its entirety, to obtain valuable feedback on the Draft Post High School Outcomes Performance Work Statement (PWS) from industry, and to provide a platform whereby both large and small businesses may obtain information on other interested parties to support small business subcontracting opportunities, and small business partnering and/or teaming arrangements. Prospective offerors are asked to submit capability statements. However, choosing to not submit a capability statement will not prohibit a prospective offerors' ability to submit proposals if/when the solicitation is released.

Interested parties are asked to R.S.V.P. by sending an email containing their company name, number of people attending the Webinar, socio economic size status in the applicable NAICS code and a key point of contact to Pavan.Mehrotra@ed.gov (cc:Veronica.Price@ed.gov), by April 27, 2015, at 2 P.M.
