External Evaluator Services for Project LEARN Literacy Expansion EIR Grant

Southwest Regional Education Cooperative #10 seeks an external evaluator for Project LEARN, an Education Innovation and Research grant initiative. The contractor will develop, maintain, and implement a comprehensive evaluation plan covering random assignment, formative pilot and implementation evaluations, outcome data collection, moderator and mediator analyses, and tutor experience evaluation. Only onshore organizations in the United States are eligible to bid, and New Mexico veteran or vendor preferences do not apply due to federal funding. Offerors must submit all questions by November 16, 2026, and deliver proposals by December 11, 2026, for work performed offsite. An Evaluation Committee will review proposals for compliance with mandatory pass-fail forms, including campaign contribution, employee health coverage, conflict of interest, and suspension certifications, alongside weighted evaluation factors. The committee may also contact business references to validate submitted information before selecting finalists.
