Organizational and Professional Development

The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Headquarters Organizational and Professional Development is a civilian sub-agency within USDA that procures training, professional development, and organizational consulting services to support APHIS operational and administrative capacity. The office has recorded 19 federal contract awards since 2008, with modest activity concentrated in 2019 through 2021 — five awards each in 2020 and 2021, four in 2019, one in 2018, and one in 2016. The most recent recorded award closed on September 17, 2021.

Combined potential value across the portfolio stands at $2.2 million, with $2.1 million obligated to date (94% spend-down). Sixteen distinct prime contractors have won awards over the portfolio history, indicating a fragmented competitive base with no dominant vendor — the largest share of the 19 awards is spread across multiple small or one-time awardees. Set-aside mix is heavily weighted toward open competition: 16 of 19 awards carry no set-aside designation, while three awards (16%) are classified as Total Small Business.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the office or its parent APHIS as of the current date. The five-year award cadence (2019–2021 activity, silence since) and the absence of current solicitations suggest the office is not actively executing new procurement rounds at this time. Pursuit of this office would be contingent on identifying upcoming organizational development or professional-development solicitations once the office resumes activity.
