What types of professional services does OESE prioritize for contract awards?

OESE frequently seeks contractors for educational program evaluation, large-scale data collection, technical assistance for grant recipients, and the development of instructional support materials for state educational agencies.

How can vendors align their capabilities with OESE's mission?

Vendors should focus on demonstrating expertise in K-12 education policy, evidence-based research methodologies, and the ability to manage complex nationwide outreach programs that support the Department of Education's school improvement goals.

Are there specific certifications that benefit vendors competing for OESE contracts?

While no specific clearance is required for most contracts, vendors with experience in educational data privacy compliance and those registered as small businesses under education-related NAICS codes often have a competitive advantage in set-aside procurements.
