- Notice of Contract Extension for ED-04-CO-0140. Not an invitation for proposal: Description: The Department of Education intends to issue a two-month extension to existing contract # ED-04-CO-0140. The current period of performance ends on September 30, 2010. The purpose of the extension is to enable members of the Westat team to assist the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) in reviewing and finalizing deliverables in the procurement's scope of work, including a final report and a database. On September 21, 2004, The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) of the U.S. Department of Education (ED) awarded contract ED-04-CO-0140 to Westat of Rockville, Maryland to conduct a 5-year evaluation of states' monitoring and improvement practices under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The ultimate goal of this evaluation is to provide information about the nature and design of states' Part B and Part C monitoring and improvement systems in order to inform monitoring policies and procedures. In July 2005 this project was relocated from OSERS to a newly-established center in the Institute of Education Sciences (IES)-the National Center for Special Education Research (NCSER). The evaluation is divided into three phases. Phase 1 consisted of a mail survey to all 50 states and the District of Columbia to gain a general understanding of their Part B and Part C monitoring and improvement systems. Phase 2 was composed of two rounds of site visits to a systematic random sample of 20 states to gather in-depth information on the design and nature of Part B and Part C monitoring systems. The first round of site visits was conducted in 2006 and focused on state monitoring activities in 2004-05. A second round of site visits occurred in 2008 and focused on state monitoring activities in 2006-07. Phase 3 will involve detailed analysis and reporting on how states monitored the implementation of Part B and Part C of IDEA.. When the project was relocated from OSERS to NCSER, a number of organizational review policies were introduced that had not been included in the original project schedule. The two month extension will allow Westat to finish the NCSER and IES review process and thus, complete Phase 3 activities.. This will allow the resulting report and database to be publicly released in accordance with IES policies. In addition, a briefing on the report will be provided to ED staff. This notice is for informational purposes only. A request for proposal is not available. Interested parties may, however, request further information no later than SEPTEMBER 16,2010 by email to Contract Specialist Sharon Masciana at Sharon.Masciana@ed.gov.
