DOL Monitoring Evaluation and Training

The Department of Labor Bureau of International Labor Affairs established this Master IDIQ on September 27, 2012, to procure monitoring, evaluation, and training services from subject matter experts in international development and labor issues. Ordering against the vehicle closed on September 26, 2017—nearly nine years ago—making this vehicle inactive for new task orders.

Over its five-year ordering window, the vehicle supported 81 task orders with a combined potential value of $6.6 million, all of which has been obligated. Activity peaked in 2015 with 26 orders, followed by 21 orders in 2016 and 19 in 2017, then declined sharply as the vehicle approached its final ordering date. The three primes who won all 81 awards—Sistemas Familia Y Sociedad Consultores Asociados EIRL (34 orders, $3.3 million), Obrien & Associates International Inc. (33 orders, $1.8 million), and Management Systems International, Inc. (14 orders, $1.5 million)—captured the market roughly equally by order count, though Sistemas held a slight edge by potential value. No set-asides applied; all awards were unrestricted competitive.

Task orders funded work across two customer organizations: the Department of Labor Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management placed 53 orders ($4 million), and the Bureau of International Labor Affairs placed 28 orders ($2.6 million). Individual orders ranged from under $10,000 to approximately $455,000, with most falling in the $30,000 to $100,000 band. Performance covered child labor elimination and worker rights projects in developing nations across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Work included interim and final project evaluations, comprehensive monitoring and evaluation plan development, and training delivery to DOL program staff. Recent activity (through September 2017) included evaluations in Vietnam, Bangladesh, Mexico, Ghana, and multiple Central American countries, with performance periods typically one to three years.

Since the ordering period closed in 2017, this vehicle is no longer an option for new work.

The purpose of this Master IDIQ is to provide highly-specialized monitoring and evaluation and performance measurement experts with subject matter expertise in international development, preferably in international labor issues, to provide monitoring, evaluation, and training services.
