- Capability Statement Instructions Draft Performance Work Statement The mission of the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR), Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), United States Department of Education (ED), is to generate new knowledge and promote its effective use to improve the abilities of people with disabilities to perform activities of their choice in the community, and also to expand society's capacity to provide full opportunities and accommodations for its citizens with disabilities. As a component of its mission, NIDRR requires the services of a contractor to evaluate, update, and maintain information services to the public based on AbleData, a database on assistive devices for people with disabilities. AbleData is designed to provide information on aids and equipment used by persons with disabilities. To date, information on more than 20,000 commercially available devices associated with over 3,000 manufacturers and 900 distributors in the United States (US) are available from AbleData. The database also contains information on over 1,800 noncommercial prototypes including customized and one-of-a-kind products and device designs for do-it-yourself construction. The AbleData website is currently accessed by patrons in the US and abroad, with approximately 300,000 unique visitors from up to 120 countries each month. The Department of Education owns the database and continues to update and maintain the database via an AbleData contract. Interested parties are hereby requested to submit capability statements. Statements shall comply with the attached instructions and be submitted electronically to Sara.Steinberger@ed.gov with a cc to Cynthia.Duncan@ed.gov no later than 10:00 am ET on January 28, 2013.
