The Department of Education requires contractor support to identify, recruit, serve, and otherwise operate a Migrant Education Program (MEP) for the benefit of eligible migrant children who reside in a State that is unable or unwilling to operate a program.  Currently, two States [Connecticut (CT) and Rhode Island (RI)] have chosen to not operate a MEP.  The Department seeks bidders from State education agencies, local education agencies, institutions of higher education, and other public and private non-profit organizations.  For additional information or to comment on the draft Performance Work Statement, please visit FedBizOpps at: https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=187109e96d54441509e5be66bf53e406&tab=core&_cview=0
