BACKGROUND: The Institute of Education Sciences (referred to as “the government”) desires a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) alternative to the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Online Study Review Guide (OSRG; see “Information About the OSRG” below). The OSRG is a web-based tool that captures data; computes summary statistics; outputs the results of individual study reviews and metanalytic syntheses; and manages workflows associated with government contractors’ reviews of academic journal articles against the What Works Clearinghouse standards (see “WWC Standards and Procedures” below). The OSRG is critical to the work of, and is currently maintained by, the government’s WWC contractor (see “Prior Task Order 4 PWS” below).
