Since award, PBGC has issued three delivery orders under this IDIQ. A November 12, 2025 delivery order valued at $915,300 funds Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) litigation services on a labor-hours basis through November 11, 2028, supporting PBGC's Office of the General Counsel with employment discrimination litigation.
