About this vehicle
The Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick established this Master IDIQ on November 30, 2014, with a shared ceiling of $550 million and ordering authority that closed on November 28, 2020 — the vehicle is no longer accepting new orders. The successor vehicle, Veteran Enterprises Contracting for Transformation and Operational Readiness (VECTOR), was awarded September 29, 2017, making ADVISOR effectively superseded. This vehicle contracts four broad service categories: Group 1 (Oversight, including program and project management, strategic planning, performance measurement); Group 2 (Improvement, including business process reengineering, change management, and quality measurement); Group 3 (Data and Analyses); and Group 4 (Training).
The vehicle awarded 92 task orders between September 2015 and September 2019. Ordering momentum declined sharply in the final years: 16 orders in 2015, peaking at 31 in 2017, then falling to 13 in 2018 and just 2 in 2019. Combined task-order potential value reached $502.5 million, with $467.4 million already obligated (93% utilization). Enterprise Resource Performance, LLC dominates the vehicle with 20 orders totaling $248 million in combined potential value — nearly half the total value. Trilogy Federal, LLC (15 orders, $59.3 million) and Cathexis, LLC (12 orders, $50.8 million) trail significantly. The top five primes account for 76% of all task orders and 86% of combined potential value, indicating concentrated competition.
Customer concentration is extremely high: VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick issued 91 of the 92 orders ($502.1 million), with only a single order ($498 thousand) placed by VA Headquarters. Set-aside activity skews heavily unrestricted: 70 orders (76%) carried no set-aside designation. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-asides accounted for 14 competitive orders (15%) and 2 sole-source awards (2%); Veteran-Owned Small Business received 6 orders (7%). Task-order values ranged from under $100 thousand to the largest awards exceeding $55 million (VA119A15D0005-VA119A17J0238, $55 million), with many mid-sized orders in the $3–$10 million range. Pricing structures mixed Firm Fixed Price and Labor Hour arrangements. All remaining active task orders are undergoing closeout modifications as the vehicle winds down.
