- REQUIREMENT: The National Assessment Governing Board (hereafter referred to as the Governing Board) has a requirement for communications, outreach and dissemination services to implement its legislative mandate to set policy for the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), also known as the Nation's Report Card. The Governing Board has operational responsibilities for NAEP as well, as stipulated in Section 302 of the National Assessment of Educational Progress Authorization Act, Public Law 107-279. (See https://nagb.gov/naep/naep-law.html). Outreach, reporting and dissemination responsibilities include the following: •Plan and execute initial release of NAEP Report Cards •Take appropriate actions needed to improve the form, content, use, and reporting of NAEP results; and •Develop guidelines for reporting and disseminating NAEP results. Implementing this mandate requires that the Governing Board play an integral and key role in reporting and disseminating NAEP results and working with stakeholders and targeted audiences to disseminate the data when released; assisting stakeholders with a deeper understanding of NAEP results; communicating the importance and utility of NAEP results, and sharing best practices on understanding and using the data. The Governing Board seeks to engage stakeholders using communication tools that are rapidly evolving and also include social media tools and emerging technologies for engagement strategies that are innovative and achieve results. The procurement is planned to be issued under full and open competition and is limited to small businesses. The projected issuance date is no later than May 1, 2017. The proposed contract will be for a base period of 12 months with two 12-month option periods for a total of 3 years. There is an incumbent performing this work under a GSA Schedule contract award, which was awarded in fiscal year 2015. Details on the contract, awarded to the District Communications Group LLC. can be found at https://www.fpds.gov. Background: The Governing Board is an independent, bipartisan board established created by the U.S. Congress in 1988. The 26 members of the Governing Board includes governors, state legislators, local and state school officials, educators, researchers, business representatives, and members of the general public. Members of the Governing Board are appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Education. In overseeing the Nation's Report Card, the Governing Board identifies subjects to be tested, determines the content and achievement levels for each assessment, approves all test questions, takes steps to improve the reporting of results, and plans and executes initial releases of NAEP Report Cards. The Governing Board works to inform the public about the Nation's Report Card by communicating NAEP results to a wide range of audiences, including policymakers, educators, parents, business leaders and media.
