AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Department of Education plans to release a Request for Quotes around July 1, 2015, aimed at contractors holding GSA MOBIS Schedule 874-1 to support the Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education’s National Reporting System (NRS) for adult education. This system is a key accountability tool for the Title II adult education program, facilitating reporting of enrollment, demographic, and performance data by States. The contract period spans a critical transition from the existing Workforce Improvement Act (WIA) system to the new Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) system, with the current system remaining active until June 30, 2016, and the new system taking effect thereafter. The contractor will need expert knowledge of both WIA and WIOA accountability requirements as they manage and support these systems. Key project tasks include providing technical assistance to both States and local service providers, which is crucial for ensuring compliance and effective use of the NRS. Task 2 involves helping States meet WIOA’s new accountability requirements under section 242(b)(1), while Task 3 concerns assisting local educational service providers in using the NRS data systems for program improvements, as required by section 242(b)(2). These tasks also support ongoing responsibilities under WIA during the transition period. The contracting office overseeing this opportunity is the Department of Education’s Contracts and Acquisitions Management office, with points of contact available to assist with inquiries. The solicitation is registered under the NAICS code 541611 and includes detailed vendor outreach materials on www.FBO.gov.

Full Description

This is a Pre-Solicitation Notice to alert GSA MOBIS Schedule 874-1 contractors of the U.S. Department of Education's (Department) upcoming release of a Request for Quotes (RFQ). We anticipate releasing the RFQ on or about July 1, 2015. The anticipated contract will support the Department's Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education's (OCTAE) National Reporting System (NRS). The NRS is the accountability system for the Title II adult education program. It includes an on-line tool through which States report enrollment, demographic, and performance outcome data related to their adult education programs. A new NRS accountability system required by the Workforce Improvement Act (WIA) of 1998 and the recently passed Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) is scheduled to go into effect on July 1, 2016. From July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, the current NRS accountability system under WIA will remain in place. Because this project will take place during the transition from WIA to WIOA accountability systems, it requires familiarity with both systems. The tasks associated with the current project are intended to support OCTAE's responsibilities to manage the current NRS accountability system and to roll-out and manage the new NRS system required by WIOA. Tasks 2 and 3, which require the contractor to provide technical assistance to States and local service providers, are of critical importance. Task 2 will support OCTAE's responsibilities under section 242(b)(1) of WIOA to provide technical assistance to help States meet the requirements of the new accountability system. Task 3 will support OCTAE's responsibilities under Section 242(b)(2) to provide technical assistance to help local educational service providers (described in statute as - eligible providers) use the NRS and data systems for program improvement. Both tasks will also support OCTAE's current accountability responsibilities under WIA, which will remain in place during the transition period. For additional information regarding the requirement please consult the vendor outreach materials associated with this procurement that are currently provided on www.FBO.gov.
