OSSE - K12SS Parent Survey

The District of Columbia's Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) has released a contract opportunity for the K12SS Parent Survey, with a brief solicitation window from March 18, 2019, to March 22, 2019. This procurement appears to be focused on conducting a specialized survey targeting parents within the K-12 educational system in the District of Columbia. The primary objective of this survey is likely to gather comprehensive feedback and insights from parents regarding their experiences with local educational services, school performance, and related educational factors. While specific details about deliverables are limited in the provided information, the survey likely requires professional research methodology, survey design, data collection, and analysis capabilities. The extremely condensed timeline suggests this is a time-sensitive project requiring rapid response and efficient execution from potential vendors. Evaluation criteria and specific qualifications are not explicitly outlined in the available information, but typical requirements would include demonstrated experience in educational research, survey design, and data analysis.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or specific restrictions on responding organizations. However, given the nature of the project and its connection to a government educational agency, there may be standard provisions for local, small, or disadvantaged business enterprises typical in District of Columbia procurement processes. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the provided information. The contract appears to be focused on a specific survey research project, which implies potential integration with existing educational data systems or research infrastructures within OSSE. Without precise budget details, the award value remains undefined, though educational research and survey projects of this nature typically range from modest to moderate funding levels, potentially between $10,000 and $50,000 depending on survey complexity, sample size, and required analytical depth. Interested vendors would need to quickly assess their capabilities and prepare a responsive proposal within the extremely tight four-day solicitation window.
