How do I register for a contract opportunity?

Interested vendors may register for competitions issued by the Governing Board via notices published at https://SAM.gov/ or contact the Governing Board at nagbprocurements@ed.gov.

Due to the high volume of communications received by the Governing Board, we are unable to respond individually to all capability statements that are not specifically solicited for a planned procurement. We appreciate your interest in the work of the Governing Board and look forward to working with you as opportunities arise.
