The Department of Labor Employee Benefits Security Administration is a civilian sub-agency responsible for regulating and enforcing rules governing private employee benefit plans, pensions, and health insurance arrangements. EBSA procures contract support for compliance oversight, regulatory analysis, plan auditing, and benefits administration guidance.

EBSA's contract footprint is minimal and episodic. Over 55 total awards since 2010, the agency obligated $2 million against $2.9 million in combined potential value. Recent activity is sparse: 1 award in 2020, 4 in 2021, 1 in 2022, 1 in 2024, and 2 so far in 2026. The most recent award closed on 2026-09-23. Across the portfolio history, 34 distinct prime contractors have been awarded at least once, indicating low repeat business and minimal vendor concentration.

Among recent awards, competitive concentration is highly fragmented. The top five primes by award count (covering 100 percent of recent awards) each hold only 1 award: Caribec Group LLC ($91 thousand potential value), Ami Benefit Plan Administrators Inc. ($3 thousand), Bruckedwards, Inc. ($69 thousand), and Talu LLC ($290 thousand). By potential value, the top five cover only 16 percent of combined recent value, with Talu LLC leading at $290 thousand.

The vast majority of EBSA's awards carry no set-aside designation: 44 of 55 awards (80 percent) were unrestricted. Small business set-asides account for 7 awards (13 percent), 8(a) sole-source awards for 3 (5 percent), and service-disabled veteran-owned small business sole-source awards for 1 (2 percent). The low set-aside penetration and episodic award cadence reflect EBSA's limited and project-specific contracting pattern.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against EBSA. EBSA does not administer a grant portfolio. The combination of minimal contract velocity, small dollar values, highly fragmented competitive base, and absence of open solicitations suggests that EBSA is not an active procurement vehicle for most business-development priorities. Pursuit should focus on specific regulatory or compliance support needs aligned to EBSA's narrow mission in pension and benefits oversight, and tracking of future solicitations rather than immediate engagement.
