B -- National Longitudinal Transition Study 2

The US Department of Education plans to modify the scope of work for contract ED01CO0003, originally awarded to SRI in Menlo Park, CA, in December 2000. This modification aims to incorporate a non-response bias study, which is a requirement set forth by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The proposed change is contingent upon the availability of funds and is intended to be executed by November 27, 2002. The contract pertains to the National Longitudinal Transition Study 2, a significant research initiative within the department. The contract is managed through the Contracts and Acquisitions Management office of the Department of Education, based in Washington, DC. Key points of contact for this modification include Pamela A. Bone, the Contract Specialist, and Desandre E. Woodard, the Contracting Officer, both of whom are available for inquiries regarding the adjustment. This modification is classified as a sources-sought type, signaling the department's intent to seek appropriate services or work to complete the addition without a guaranteed procurement at this stage. The modification reflects the department's ongoing commitment to ensuring the study meets all regulatory research standards.
