     Dear Senator Melcher:

          Subject: Lprocess Used by t-he Department of Education
                    to Award Contracts for Operation of Indian
                    Education Resource and Evaluation CentersJ
                    (HRD-81-100)

          In your March 27, 1981, letter you asked us to review and
     rank the contract proposals received by the Department of Educa-
     tion (ED) for the operation of Indian Education Resource and
     Evaluation Centers. In discussionswith your office, we agreed
     to examine the process ED followed to review the proposals and
     to award the contracts.

          On April 17, 1980, ED issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for
     the operation of five Indian Education Resource and Evaluation
     Centerk. These centers, each serving different geographic regions,
     were authorized by section 1150(c)(1) of the Education Amendments
     of 1978 (92 Stat. 2332).

          According to the RFP, each proposal was to be evaluated in
     accordance with specified criteria. The proposals were to be
     scored based on how well the proposals met the criteria. The
     maximum possible points under the criteria was 100. An addi-
     tional 25 points was to be awarded to proposals from sources
     which could show proof of being an Indian tribe, organization, or
     institution. The criteria and the maximum number of points for
     each element are shown on the next page:
