Human Capital Office Team

The Government Accountability Office Human Capital Office, also known as the Human Capital Office Team, is responsible for managing the workforce needs of the Government Accountability Office (GAO), which serves as the federal government's primary audit and evaluation agency. This civilian office oversees recruitment, training, performance management, and other human resource functions essential to maintaining GAO's professional workforce. The Human Capital Office ensures GAO has the talent necessary to fulfill its mission of providing Congress with timely, factual information that can be used to improve government operations and save taxpayer dollars.

The Human Capital Office has recently awarded three contracts focused on enhancing its human capital management capabilities. In March 2025, the office awarded a five-year labor-hour contract valued at $6,380,932.72 to Cherokee Accelerated Solutions, L.L.C., a tribally-owned, small disadvantaged business, for human capital consulting services. This substantial investment indicates the office's commitment to comprehensive human capital support through 2030. Additionally, in January 2025, the office issued a $119,002 firm-fixed-price delivery order to Gartner, Inc. for two organizational memberships to the Corporate Leadership Council under the FEDLINK contract. This acquisition provides the office with access to research and advisory resources from a leading firm in organizational management and leadership development.

In November 2024, the Human Capital Office awarded a $167,972.58 labor-hour contract to Chickasaw Health Consulting, LLC, an 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business, for human capital office consulting services to be performed in Washington, DC. This shorter-term contract, scheduled for completion in February 2025, represents a targeted effort to address specific human capital needs. The pattern of contracting reveals the Human Capital Office's balanced approach to resource management—combining substantial long-term investments in comprehensive human capital services with targeted shorter-term consulting engagements. The office demonstrates a practice of working with both established research organizations like Gartner and tribally-owned small disadvantaged businesses, suggesting a commitment to both specialized expertise and supplier diversity in fulfilling its human capital management requirements.
