About this agency
The Government Accountability Office's Education, Workforce, and Income Security division is a civilian sub-agency that performs policy analysis, program evaluation, and investigative work supporting congressional oversight of federal education and social programs. The division issues contracts primarily for research, stakeholder engagement, and analytical support services rather than operational goods or infrastructure.
The division has awarded 14 contracts since 2016, with modest recent activity: one award in 2024, one in 2025, and two year-to-date in 2026. Combined potential value across all awards is $144 thousand, fully obligated. Recent awards show sporadic transactional cadence — the division awarded 4 contracts in 2017, 3 in 2021, then dropped to one per year in 2024 and 2025. One of the four recent awards (25%) carries no reported potential value, consistent with Schedule task orders or BPA-call procurement that do not carry explicit ceilings in the data digest.
Competition among prime contractors is highly fragmented over the last five years. The four most-recent awardees each hold a single award. Fors Marsh Group LLC leads by potential value at $97 thousand (67% of the recent cohort's reported value), but transacts through single awards; BLN Fors Marsh JV LLC holds one award with no reported potential value; Jones Lang Lasalle Americas, Inc. and Neal R. Gross And Company, Inc. each hold one award valued at $4 thousand and $2 thousand respectively. The seven distinct contractors across the lifetime portfolio indicate minimal repeat business.
Set-asides are uncommon in this portfolio. Eleven of fourteen awards (79%) carry no set-aside designation. Three awards (21%) are designated as Total Small Business. No 8(a), WOSB, SDVOSB, or HUBZone set-asides are present in the award history.
No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the division. No grant activity occurs under this agency or its descendant offices. Pursuit of work here requires tracking the division's congressional focus areas and monitoring infrequent solicitation cycles; the contract volume and dollar value do not support sustained business development presence.
