About this vehicle
The Department of Labor Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management established this Master BPA on October 1, 1997, with a last ordering date of August 16, 2023 — now closed for two years and eleven months. The vehicle is no longer active for new task orders.
This BPA contracted research and evaluation services to support the Chief Evaluation Office, including program evaluations, impact assessments, administrative data analysis, and policy research across DOL's labor programs. Awarded task orders span workforce innovation, unemployment insurance, disability employment, veterans' services, trade adjustment assistance, and behavioral interventions in labor programs. Work is performed domestically and, in select cases, overseas (such as the Zambia empowerment evaluation).
Mathematica Inc. dominates the vehicle, holding 27 task orders with a combined potential value of $47.3 million—roughly 47 percent of the BPA's total potential value of $101.1 million. ABT Global LLC, Westat Inc., Impaq International, and The Urban Institute collectively account for the remainder of significant activity, with eleven distinct primes holding awards across the portfolio. The five top contractors cover 90 percent of combined potential value, indicating concentrated competitive concentration.
Ordering activity peaked in 2013 with 16 awards and averaged 13 orders annually from 2015 through 2017. The portfolio totaled 69 task orders spanning August 2012 through September 2017, with $51.2 million obligated against the $101.1 million combined potential value—51 percent execution. Nearly 97 percent of orders carried no set-aside designation, with only two small-business total awards in the dataset.
Funding concentration is high within DOL: the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy accounts for roughly 45 percent of combined potential value, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management holds 31 percent, and the Immediate Office of the Secretary accounts for 24 percent. The Employee Benefits Security Administration represents less than 1 percent of activity.
Typical task-order values range from under $100 thousand to roughly $5.2 million, with durations extending from one to five years. Most recent orders employ Time and Materials or Labor Hours pricing; earlier awards used Firm Fixed Price. No new task orders have been issued since September 2017.
