The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Berney Associates LLC, a woman-owned small business, to provide a range of leadership development, coaching, and facilitation services. The BPA, valued at up to $930,000, will run through February 2027 and allows ARS to issue task orders for executive coaching, leadership and emotional intelligence training workshops, and facilitation of strategic planning activities as needed to support the agency's programs and initiatives.
Under this BPA, Berney Associates has been awarded several task orders, including facilitating SWOT analysis, delivering training to the USDA Pacific West Area, providing leadership coaching to the USDA Plains Area, and assisting with change management and organization development for the USDA Central Program Planning Coordination and Support office. The contract is structured as a BPA under the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract vehicle, and while some task orders have been set aside for small businesses, others have been awarded without any set-aside designations. The contracted services are aimed at enhancing the leadership capabilities, teambuilding, and strategic planning efforts across various USDA Agricultural Research Service offices and initiatives.
