Grant Reviewers for OSSE's Competitive Grants

The contract centers on engaging a vendor to identify, recruit, and manage qualified reviewers for competitive grant programs administered by the Office of the State Superintendent of Education in the District of Columbia. The vendor is responsible for the full lifecycle of reviewer selection, including sourcing candidates who meet established criteria, handling all necessary administrative and compliance documentation required for hiring, and ensuring timely onboarding of approved reviewers. Payment for these reviewers, once selected by OSSE, is the vendor’s responsibility, relieving the agency of direct financial obligations to individual reviewers. The engagement supports OSSE’s mission to maintain rigorous, impartial, and qualified review processes for grant applications across its competitive funding initiatives. Though the solicitation is currently a forecast and not yet open for bids, the anticipated scope implies a long-term operational partnership requiring robust logistics, compliance management, and coordination with a government agency.
