The Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Effeciency

The Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE), an independent civilian agency, procures training, professional development, technology services, and administrative support for the Inspector General community across the federal government. CIGIE coordinates policy, training, and operational support for inspectors general at cabinet departments, independent agencies, and major federal establishments.

CIGIE has awarded 344 contracts since 2012, with combined potential value of $92.5 million and $61 million obligated to date (66% of potential value). Activity has remained steady, with 34 awards in 2022, 37 in 2023, 46 in 2024, 39 in 2025, and 16 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award closed on September 30, 2026. Across the portfolio, 96 distinct prime contractors have been awarded work.

Competitive concentration is fragmented by award count but highly fragmented by value. Over the last five years, Carahsoft Technology Corp leads by award count with 28 awards and $2 million combined potential value, followed by Govconnection Inc. with 15 awards and $536 thousand, and American University with 12 awards and $2.3 million. The top five vendors by award count account for 38% of recent awards. By potential value, American University leads with $2.3 million across 12 awards, Carahsoft follows with $2 million across 28 awards, and the top five by value account for only 7% of combined potential value — reflecting a long tail of small-value individual task orders and a high volume of awards with unreported dollar values through standing BPA arrangements. Notably, 97% of awards are issued without set-aside designation, with only 2% designated as Total Small Business and 1% as 8(a) Sole Source.

CIGIE posted a Pre-Solicitation notice on August 19, 2026 (SSN08192026) for "Inspector General Professional Training and Development," a sole-source follow-on BPA contract award to American University for customized leadership and executive-development training programs delivered to the OIG community across five program tracks (Emerging Leader, New Leader, Experienced Leader, SES Level, and Senior Executive Program 360 Evaluation). The original due date for intent responses was September 9, 2026.
