Data Sharing and Management Plan (DSMP) Development

The contract seeks the development of a comprehensive Data Sharing and Management Plan tailored to meet federal compliance requirements under the Department of Education, focusing on the systematic organization, preservation, and accessibility of research data. The plan must include a clear data deposition strategy outlining how datasets will be archived in recognized repositories such as ERIC or OSF, ensuring long-term availability and reuse. Metadata standards must be consistently applied across all data assets to support discoverability, interoperability, and adherence to recognized scientific and educational data frameworks. Coordination with designated repositories is essential to align with their technical requirements and to facilitate seamless integration of datasets into public access systems. The subcontract requires timely delivery of a fully documented and compliant plan by the response deadline of October 1, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 519130, which pertains to other information services. The project is not subject to any specific set-aside provisions, and performance is not restricted to a particular geographic location. While no point of contact is listed, the proposal must demonstrate thorough understanding of federal data management expectations and the ability to implement best practices in data curation, documentation, and stewardship to support transparency and reproducibility in educational research.
