FNS is seeking a contractor to design, implement, analyze, and report on the results of the independent evaluation of four case studies involving a process review of how at least 40 School Food Authorities (SFAs) in four states collect the data for and complete compiling data for the Report of School Program Operations form (FNS-10), the School Food Authority (SFA) Verification Collection Report (FNS-742), and the Direct Certification Rate Data Element Report (FNS-834) forms.

A determination by the Government to proceed with the acquisition as a set-aside is within the discretion of the Government. If capability statements are not received from at least two responsible small businesses or if the Government determines that no small business concerns are capable of performing this requirement based upon an assessment of the capability statements submitted, the Government may proceed with a full and open competition. Please submit all information to Ashley Owens at Ashley.Owens@fns.usda.gov no later than April 8, 2016 by 5:00 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time. NO TELEPHONE REQUESTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
