Contract value is fixed at 3% of each individual grant's awarded amount as predetermined by the Georgia Department of Education, ranging from $7,142 to $10,434 per grant. Indirect costs are not permitted. The contract period runs from award date (anticipated October 21, 2026) through June 30, 2027.

Required qualifications include Georgia business registration; proof of liability insurance at $1,000,000 per occurrence; workers' compensation coverage; and compliance with Georgia's Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify requirements.
