Independent Program Evaluation Services

The Bureau of Counterterrorism within the Department of State is seeking a subcontractor to conduct an independent evaluation of a counterterrorism program, focusing on measuring its overall impact, particularly the effectiveness of counter-messaging efforts and the outcomes of associated training initiatives. This evaluation will require rigorous analytical methods to assess how well the program achieves its objectives, including changes in public perception, behavioral shifts, and the operational competence of trained personnel. The contractor must possess expertise in program evaluation, social science research methodologies, and experience working with government agencies on sensitive national security-related initiatives. The opportunity is posted as a subcontract under NAICS code 541611, which categorizes management, scientific, and technical consulting services, indicating the need for specialized advisory and analytical capabilities rather than direct implementation. Interested parties must submit their proposals by July 27, 2026, with the solicitation publicly available since June 22, 2026. There is no specified set-aside designation, meaning the contract is open to all qualified vendors regardless of business size or status. Performance will be conducted remotely or at locations determined by the evaluating entity, with no physical work site specified, allowing flexibility in execution while maintaining alignment with the Bureau’s strategic goals.
