- Description
- The U.S. Department of Education (ED) intends to award a purchase order to procure services for legal analysis and technical assistance to Tribal Education Departments (TEDs). This procurement is not to exceed twelve months. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) is responsible for the administration and oversight of programs designed to improve the educational opportunities of America's school age population, ages five through seventeen. The Office of Indian Education (OIE), located within OESE, is responsible for implementing Title VII of the No Child Left Behind act which focuses on the education of American Indians and Alaskan Natives from preschool to graduate school. OIE was charged by the Secretary of Education at the National Congress of American Indians conference in June 2003 to strength relationships between ED and the TEDs. The specific purpose of this procurement is for the contractor to assist in the analysis of the legal basis of tribal education departments and Indian education policies and to provide an evaluation of the need, potential benefits, and risks of the creation of a TED national organization. The contractor will also provide technical assistance to TEDs through facilitation of discussion meetings with OIE and legal support for tribal governments that are considering the formation of an education department or the strengthening of its existing education department. This purchase order is intended as a sole source award to be made to the Native American Rights Fund in Boulder, Colorado. However, all responsible sources may request a copy of the statement of work and submit a bid, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the Department. For further information, contact Jeffrey Johnson, (202) 205-9923 or email Jeff.Johnson@ed.gov. U. S Department of Education, Office of Elementary and Secondary Education/Office of Indian education, 400 Maryland Avenue S.W., Room 3W258, Washington, DC 20202-6335, Facsimile (202) 260-4149.
