- TIF DRAFT Performance Work Statement **THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS** The U.S. Department of Education's (Department) Institute of Education Sciences (IES) has a requirement to continue an impact evaluation of the Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) program currently being conducted under contract ED-04-CO-0112/0012. This new, anticipated contract will extend the evaluation effort to include data collection for the final year of the 2010 TIF grant program implementation (school year 2014-15) and two reports (one based on the 2014-15 data collection and one based on 2013-14 data collected in contract ED-04-CO-0112/0012). The TIF grants included in the evaluation were awarded in 2010. The grants are five years long. Typically the grants include a planning period during the first year of the grant in order to meet grant requirements for implementation. The remaining four years of the grant include implementation of a performance based compensation system. IES intends for the evaluation of the 2010 TIF grant program to include impacts and implementation information from all four implementation years (school years 2011-12 through 2014-15, years 2-5 of the grant). Currently the initial stages of the evaluation effort are conducted through contract ED-04-CO-0112/0012 and include three years of data collection (school years 2011-12 through 2013-14, years 2-4 of the grant) and two reports covering information from school years 2011-12 and 2012-13. The existing contract, ED-04-CO-0112/0012, cannot be extended to include a report based on the school year 2013-14 data collection, data collection during school 2014-15, and a report based on school year 2014-15. The anticipated contract type will be Hybrid in nature (containing both Fixed Price and Cost Reimbursement tasks). The intended period of performance will include a 20-month Base Period and one 20-month Option Period to extend the evaluation to study all years of program implementation for the 2010 grants. The Option Period will overlap with the Base Period by 8 months. If the Option Period is exercised, the total length of the anticipated contract will be 32 months: Base Period: months 1-20 Option Period: months 13-32 The above-referenced soliciation will be posted for Full and Open Competition on www.FBO.gov on or about May 1, 2014. As such, both large and small businesses in various socio-economic categories may submit proposals. Small businesses are encouraged to form teaming arrangements to ensure that their respective proposals are competitive, and clearly demonstrate the ability to execute the TIF requirement in its entirety. Large businesses should be aware that small business subcontracting plans will be required. Please review the DRAFT TIF Performance Work Statement for full details regarding the scope of work in its entirety. All questions or comments pertaining to this notice or its contents should be directed to Natasha Boyce, Contract Specialist via EMAIL ONLY at Natasha.Boyce@ed.gov; with a carbon copy to Veronica L.
