The National Assessment Governing Board intends to award a sole-source purchase order to the Council of the Great City Schools to support outreach and collaboration with urban school districts for the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The procurement is scheduled to be awarded on or around March 20, 2026, with a maximum period of performance of 36 months. The work involves convening a task force of district leaders to provide essential local perspectives that inform policy decisions for The Nation's Report Card. This collaboration aims to improve the Trial Urban District Assessment program and sustain district participation. Capability statements may be submitted, but the government intends to proceed with a non-competitive award.
