Education Opportunity Funds Program Services

The District of Columbia government is seeking a vendor to provide education opportunity funds program services. The agency is attempting to mitigate the expanding influence of strategic competitors among emerging leaders by positioning the United States as the preeminent partner of choice for the next generation of decision-makers and opinion leaders. To solve this problem, the program provides targeted financial and advisory support to high-achieving students whose economic circumstances would otherwise preclude participation in educational exchange. The scope of work requires the selected vendor to facilitate payment for domestic travel and per diem costs to enable participants to attend the nearest testing site. The vendor must also arrange payment for university and college application expenses, including financial aid applications. Performance of the work will take place offsite. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget for these services. The source document does not specify evaluation criteria or key dates for this opportunity.
