Blanket Purchase Agreement TCC12HQB0010

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), a civilian federal agency, established a multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Inroads, Inc., a St. Louis-based nonprofit organization specializing in career development and internship placement services for underrepresented minority students. The BPA was awarded on February 1, 2012, with an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2017, and structured to support the National Diversity Internship Program. The contract was executed without set-aside designation, indicating open competition. Inroads, Inc. was tasked with providing internship recruitment, placement, and related talent acquisition services to support the OCC's workforce diversity and inclusion objectives, with primary performance locations in Washington, DC.

Under this BPA, the OCC issued multiple task orders (Blanket Purchase Agreement calls) between 2012 and 2017, collectively valued at approximately $815.6K across nine separate calls. Individual task order values ranged from $3.8K to $276.5K, with most calls supporting seasonal internship initiatives such as summer 2014 through summer 2017 programs, as well as year-round and spring internship placements. Each task order employed firm fixed-price pricing structures with completion dates aligned to the internship seasons being supported. The services delivered through these calls directly supported the OCC's commitment to building a diverse federal workforce by leveraging Inroads' expertise in connecting underrepresented minority talent—including students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Hispanic-serving institutions—with structured federal internship and career development opportunities within the Treasury Department.
