About this IDV
The Rand Corporation was awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management, a civilian agency within the Department of Commerce, with a ceiling value of $99 million and a period of performance extending from September 5, 2023 through September 4, 2028. This BPA, established under the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) vehicle, was not issued with a small business set-aside. As a nonprofit global policy think tank headquartered in Santa Monica, California, the Rand Corporation will deliver comprehensive research, analysis, and strategic consulting services to support the Chief Evaluation Office (CEO) and related federal priorities. The contract incorporates Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 19.203 language regarding small business subcontracting considerations, indicating the agency's commitment to maximizing small business participation where feasible within the awardee's subcontracting structure.
Under this BPA, the Rand Corporation will provide flexible access to its multidisciplinary research capabilities, including evidence-based policy analysis, evaluation support, and strategic consulting across multiple federal domains. The contract structure enables the federal agency to issue individual task orders for specific research scopes and deliverables without conducting separate competitive solicitations, consistent with the BPA model. Based on the awardee's established service delivery capabilities, anticipated services likely include performance evaluation methodologies, policy research and analysis, program assessment, and strategic consulting support. The BPA's $99 million ceiling provides substantial capacity for federal agencies to leverage Rand Corporation's analytical expertise in support of the Chief Evaluation Office's mission and related federal priorities, with delivery orders potentially employing cost-plus-fixed-fee, time-and-materials, or cost-no-fee pricing arrangements as appropriate for individual task requirements.
