- Description
- This document is a draft statement of work for the development of the What Works Clearinghouse. The U.S. Department of Education (ED) intends to award two contracts for the operation and further development of the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) for the National Center for Education and Evaluation and Regional Assistance (NCEE) of the Institute of Education Sciences. ED expects that one contract will be for 75% of the total dollar value of the WWC work, and one contract will be for 25% of the total dollar value of the WWC work. The contract for 25% of the WWC work has been designated as a small business set-aside (SBSA). The priority for both awards is to maintain the WWC core functions - that is, the WWC Evidence Standards and the Systematic Review Process - while expanding content, improving how research reviewed by the WWC is presented to different audiences, and maintaining and enhancing the WWC website, study databases, end-user products, and tools that facilitate effective and efficient use of WWC materials by key audiences. Key personnel will be expected to have the highest levels of content-area and methodological expertise to guide the vision and work of the WWC. Toward that end, all offerors will be encouraged to partner with key personnel at a variety of organizations to ensure content-area expertise across the WWC. In this request for information (RFI), NCEE seeks feedback about how the small business set-aside portion (25%) can be best partitioned from the entire WWC requirement. Entire tasks, parts of tasks, or a combination of tasks contained in the attached draft statement of work are all acceptable ways of dividing this requirement. Recommendations for partitioning of the WWC work should take into account feasibility of managing and coordinating tasks among contractors as well as how the high quality of WWC content can be maintained and strengthened. In a narrative description of no more than 10 double-spaced pages, please provide recommendations about how to partition the WWC requirement into a SBSA contract for 25% of the work. Please include a justification for how the work can be divided in this way. Submit all responses electronically to LaChelle.Johnson@ed.gov.
