Support for Creating a Public Dataset for the Department of Education’s Gainful Employment / Financial Value Transparency

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Statistics of Income Division (SOI), requires contractor support to apply statistical disclosure limitation methodology based on differentially private algorithms (code to run Python) to support the production of a private dataset for the Department of Education Gainful Employment / Financial Value Transparency (GE/FVT) regulation.

The contractor shall provide support to develop a calculator tool through which IRS-Statistics of Income Division (SOI) can release multiple datasets comprising both counts and medians broken down by attributes (e.g., median earnings by college, program, etc.) under a common differentially privacy budget (epsilon). The results will maintain the confidentiality of Federal Tax Information (FTI), such that the output can be released to the Department of Education.
