Program Evaluation Subgroup under SIN 541611

GSA has recently released the instructions for adding the Program Evaluation Subgroup under SIN 541611. To add this subgroup to a GSA contract that already has been awarded SIN 541611, contractors will need to provide a specific technical proposal.

An authorized negotiator must submit via email the following:

  • A concise description (up to 3 single-spaced pages) of the program evaluation services offered, including developing and implementing impact and outcome evaluations as noted in the instructions, and how they align with the program evaluation standards and practices outlined in OMB M-20-12.

  • 3 Relevant Project Experience examples (up to 5 single-spaced pages total) for work performed within the last three years of the date of application, which are germane to the scope of work of program evaluation services, reflect experience executing impact and outcome evaluation activities, and demonstrate alignment with the program evaluation standards and practices in OMB M-20-12. Each Relevant Project Experience example must include the following:

    • Project title
    • Start date and actual or projected end date
    • Client(s)
    • Offeror’s role in project (lead, subcontractor, etc.)
    • Point of contact for client (name and email address)
    • Dollar value of project
    • Description of type(s) of program evaluation services provided, including details about specific methods used and the type of evaluation (i.e., impact and/or outcome evaluation)
    • Description of actual or expected deliverables, work products, or outputs of services provided
    • (if available) Links to published report(s) or other documents from the project

Contractors whose initial submissions receive a “Pass” rating from the TEB will be asked to respond in writing (up to 3 single-spaced pages) to a specific program evaluation services scenario. The scenario response must be submitted within 15 business days of the date of notification. The response will be assessed by the TEB to determine whether the offeror has demonstrated a technically appropriate approach to tasks expected to be performed within the scope of the Program Evaluation Services subgroup. Responses will be rated on a pass/fail basis.

Contractors who pass both elements can then add this subgroup to their eBuy profile by following these steps:

1. Login to eBuy

2. From the top menu, select "Profile"

3. Click "Modify Subgroups"

4. Select the “Program Evaluation Services” subgroup according to the instructions

As always if you have any questions regarding these updates or about the general management of your GSA contract, please don’t hesitate to reach out at info@elevategsa.com.
