About this IDV

Decision Information Resources, Inc. (DIR), a minority-owned and Black American-owned business headquartered in Houston, Texas, was awarded a $5.0 million Total Small Business Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service on August 26, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of August 25, 2027. Under the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contracting vehicle, DIR provides research, evaluation, data collection, and technical assistance services focused on the Farm to School program and related nutrition initiatives. The BPA establishes an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity framework that allows the government to issue task orders over the five-year period to support policy research and program assessment activities. All work is performed at DIR's Houston, Texas location.

Three task orders have been executed under this BPA vehicle to date. The initial order, issued September 15, 2022, valued at $890,854.03 and completed March 15, 2024, covered Farm to School Census development and data collection. A second order, issued August 4, 2023 for $667,132.00 with completion by December 3, 2024, focused on data analysis and reporting for the 2023 Farm to School Census. The third order, also issued August 4, 2023 and valued at $553,341.78 with completion by August 3, 2024, involved evaluation of the 2023 Farm to School Grant Program. These call orders utilize Firm Fixed Price pricing and carry no additional set-aside designations beyond the overall small business set-aside designation of the parent BPA. Collectively, these task orders represent DIR's expertise in survey administration, program evaluation, and data-driven analysis supporting the USDA's Farm to School initiatives.
