Office of Management

The Department of Education Office of Management, a sub-agency within the cabinet department responsible for federal education policy and programs, procures administrative and operational support services for the Department's management functions. The Office of Management handles contracts for transportation, interpreting, technology services, and related operational needs across the Department's enterprise.

The Office of Management has awarded 1,826 federal contracts since 2002, with combined potential value of $211.8 million and combined dollars obligated of $171.1 million. Recent contract activity has been modest: the Office awarded 3 contracts in 2022, 4 in 2023, 3 in 2024, 2 in 2025, and 7 year-to-date in 2026. Among 608 distinct prime contractors in the portfolio, competitive concentration by award count is highly fragmented over the last five years—the top five primes hold 37 percent of recent awards. By combined potential value, concentration is highly fragmented as well; the top five primes hold only 5 percent of recent combined potential value. Mid-Atlantic Interpreting Group, Inc. leads by value with a single $4.2 million award, while Att Mobility LLC and Optumserve Technology Services, Inc. tie as the most-awarded vendors with two awards each. The remainder of recent activity is distributed across a wide field of small and mid-sized vendors.

The set-aside mix reflects primarily unrestricted competition: 93 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. The Office awards approximately 4 percent of contracts under 8(a) sole-source authority, with small-business set-asides (total 3 percent) and service-disabled veteran-owned small-business set-asides (collectively under 1 percent) making up the balance. One of nineteen recent awards with potential value not reported in source data reflects typical Schedule task order or BPA-call transactional volume. The most recently recorded award dates to 27 August 2026.

No recent federal contract opportunities are recorded against the Office of Management. Prospective vendors should monitor the Office's contracting activity through SAM.gov and standard General Services Administration schedule channels, given the concentration of awards through Schedule task orders and similar vehicles.
