ED-IES-11-R-0036, Regional Educational Laboratories 2012 - 2017

The U.S. Department of Education issued contract awards as part of the Regional Educational Laboratories solicitation for the period spanning 2012 through 2017. The original awards to Southwest Educational Development Corporation (SEDL), Florida State University (FSU), and ICF Incorporated for specific tasks remain in effect following the resolution of a protest and subsequent corrective action. The Stop Work Order that had temporarily halted performance on certain tasks has been lifted, allowing these contractors to proceed with their work uninterrupted. SEDL’s contract, valued at approximately $39.5 million, covers a 60-month performance period from January 3, 2012, to November 29, 2017. Similarly, Florida State University holds a contract worth about $37.4 million for the same 60-month duration, ending January 2, 2017. ICF Incorporated’s contract pertains specifically to Task 8 related to the Mid-Atlantic Region, with a task price of just over $2 million. All contractors are confirmed to continue their responsibilities under their respective contract numbers, reflecting the Department’s commitment to advancing educational research managed through these key entities. The contracting office overseeing these awards is located in Washington, DC, with designated officials available for inquiries. The entire contract actions underline a structured approach for sustaining regional educational research efforts over the five-year timeframe initially established.
