Notice Inviting Proposals for
Ownership and Operation of America’s
Literacy Directory
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: America’s Literacy Directory
(ALD) provides information about adult
literacy, preparation for General
Educational Development (GED) tests
and other testing, and English language
learning programs for individuals in
need of those services through an easyto-use, extensive nationwide database.
As authorized by 20 U.S.C. 9252(c),
the National Institute for Literacy (NIFL)
developed and created ALD and has
been operating it since 2004. NIFL now
plans to turn over ownership and
operation of ALD to one or more entities
outside of the Federal Government that
would, with its or their own resources,
continue the maintenance and upkeep
of ALD, make improvements to it, and
continue to make it readily available at
no cost to the public. Through this
notice, we are inviting proposals from
an entity or entities interested in
owning and operating ALD in this
manner. NIFL believes that the
effectiveness of ALD will be enhanced
by being owned by a non-Federal entity
or entities, which would take
responsibility for its continued
operation.
ALD is currently supported in part
through both an interagency agreement
and a contract for data verification and
technical support, respectively. To the
extent possible, consistent with the
terms of those agreements, NIFL plans
to provide the entity or entities
ultimately selected through the
selection process outlined in this notice
with non-proprietary information on the
design, use, and maintenance of ALD in
order to help the selected entity or
entities maintain, operate, and enhance
ALD. A text file providing the technical
data to ALD is available to prospective
bidders in ‘‘Structured Query Language’’
(SQL) format. This SQL data would
assist the selected entity or entities in
building a database containing all ALD
tables and relationships of those tables.
Prospective bidder(s) may request the
text file by contacting NIFL at
Daniel.Miller@ed.gov.
NIFL believes that turning over
ownership and operation of the
Directory to a non-Federal entity or
entities will provide long-lasting
benefits to the intended audience and to
the nation.

DATES: To receive consideration,
proposals must be submitted to NIFL no
later than 5 p.m. (EST) on November 9,
2009. NIFL’s goal is to turn over
ownership and operation of ALD on or
about December 30, 2009.
Address for Submission of Proposals:
Interested entities should submit a
proposal for owning and operating ALD,
addressing the factors and associated
criteria outlined in this notice, by an
express carrier or by e-mail to: Daniel J.
Miller, Acting Director, National
Institute for Literacy, 1775 I Street, NW.,
7th Floor, Washington, DC 20006–2050,
or at Daniel.Miller@ed.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Daniel Miller, (202) 245–7731,
Daniel.Miller@ed.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
America’s Literacy Directory (ALD) is
an effective, national online site for the
referral of adults to local literacy
programs. The site is currently housed
on the NIFL Web site at https://
www.nifl.gov or at https://
literacydirectory.org. From the site,
adults and young adults can find
assistance with reading or writing, study
for the GED or other high school
equivalency program(s), find an official
GED test center, learn English, and get
help with mathematics. Adults can
enter their zip code or city and State
and find programs within a selected
geographic range. Through the site, and
a toll-free telephone number, providers
of adult literacy services may add
program information to the ALD
database.
NIFL intends, through an appropriate
agreement or agreements signed by NIFL
and the selected entity or entities, to set
forth the rights and responsibilities of
each party, and to transfer ownership
and operation of ALD to a non-Federal
entity or entities, which would support
ALD with the entity’s or entities’ own
resources. The agreement will include,
among other things, a privacy policy
that protects the privacy of the users of
ALD, and limits the use of data about
the users by the entity or entities
selected.
Responsibilities of the Selected Entity
or Entities
NIFL anticipates that the duties of the
ALD owner will include: Maintaining
and enhancing the ALD database of
approximately 5,000 literacy programs
as appropriate; providing technical
assistance via email, phone, and online
training sessions to States to assist them
in integrating State and local program
data into ALD (5–10 questions or
