E&I’s procurement practices have been reviewed and determined to be conducted in a manner that complies with the new regulations in the U.S. Department of Education’s General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR).
Our portfolio of adopted contracts are developed by Lead Public Agencies (LPA) in higher education and K-12. E&I reviews the LPA’s documentation prior to adopting the contract to assure the LPA followed the standards E&I normally incorporates into its solicitations and that are generally accepted by the education community. While this review ensures the adopted contracts were awarded through a competitive process, the LPA would have been following their written procedures in the development of the contract. As such, E&I cannot provide assurances that the LPA’s practices comply with the new EDGAR regulations.
