Additionally, the agency needs Independent Education Evaluations to resolve contested evaluations, initial and reevaluations for occupational and physical therapy, and transition services to help students with disabilities meet post-secondary goals. The project also encompasses visual impairment services, including therapy, orientation, mobility, braille, and evaluations. Finally, the agency requires interpreting and translating services for speakers of other languages in classrooms, meetings, and therapy sessions. The contract period will span one year. Bidders must perform all work offsite and must be located onshore within the United States. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed specific evaluation criteria or key dates in the initial request.
