Draft Statement of Work - I. Background: The Office of the Deputy Secretary (ODS) is responsible for projecting costs for the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) and Federal Direct Student Loan (FDSL) programs, as well as for assessing the budget implications of various legislative, regulatory, and administrative proposals under consideration by the Department. In fulfilling these responsibilities, ODS requires technical assistance in performing a number of financial analyses related to Federal assets. These analyses require specialized skills and extensive experience in asset valuation, structured finance, optimization studies, risk mitigation techniques, and macroeconomic theory. II. Objectives: The objectives of this purchase order are to augment ODS's financial analysis capabilities by providing specialized support in: 1) financial analysis related to the valuation of federal financial assets; 2) financial analysis related to risk mitigation techniques and probabilities; 3) other, currently unspecified analyses related to Federal financial assets. III. Activities: Under this task order, the Contractor shall perform an undetermined number of discrete analyses identified by ODS. For each, the Contractor shall meet with ODS within 2 days after initiation of the analysis to discuss ODS requirements and schedule of deliverables. The Contractor shall propose a work plan within 1 week of initiation; ODS will have two days from receipt of the plan to approve or request revisions. ODS shall review all draft analyses prepared by the Contractor and meet with the Contractor within 3 days of delivery to either approve the completion of the analysis or request that an alternative approach be developed. Based on this meeting, a schedule for final results shall be developed.
