The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 awarded a blanket purchase agreement to The Arbinger Company doing business as The Arbinger Institute. The BPA establishes a single award indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract vehicle valued at $3.5M for outward mindset leadership training services. The purpose of the training is to enhance leadership skills within VISN 8, which serves veterans in Florida.
Under the BPA, the VA issued four firm fixed price call contracts from 2020 through 2022 totaling $2.37M. The Arbinger Institute will deliver its evidence-based leadership development program at locations in Bay Pines, Florida through September 2024. Drawing from The Arbinger Institute's multiple award schedule contract with GSA, the services aim to foster a culture of service, accountability and effectiveness within VISN 8's healthcare facilities. As the VA works to improve care for veterans, the leadership training supports organizational transformation initiatives.
No subcontractors or socioeconomic set asides were indicated. Prices are fixed for the duration of each task order issued against the BPA. By establishing an IDV contract vehicle and issuing calls incrementally, the VA can efficiently obtain customized leadership training to meet its needs while maintaining spending controls over several years.
