About this vehicle
The Department of Education Office of Career Technical and Adult Education established ED-SAT, a Master BPA, on January 19, 2010, with a last date to order of January 31, 2020—ordering closed six years and five months ago and the vehicle is no longer active. The BPA contracted technical assistance, program evaluation, data analytics, and research support across three pools for Education programs, with a combined potential value of $59.7 million and $57.5 million obligated (96% of potential value).
Activity concentrated heavily in 2010–2011. The vehicle generated 27 total task orders, with 12 awarded in 2010 and 15 in 2011; the final order was issued September 30, 2011. No new work has been initiated against ED-SAT in the fourteen years since.
Competition was distributed but not fragmented. The top five primes by order count—Policy Studies Associates, Inc.; Wested; Quality Information Partners, Inc.; Sri International; and Jobs For The Future Inc.—each held 2 orders and collectively covered 37 percent of task orders. By potential value, Quality Information Partners, Inc. led with $10.7 million across 2 orders, followed by Wested at $7.9 million; these five firms and Applied Enterprise Management Corporation combined for 58 percent of the vehicle's potential value. Across 20 distinct prime contractors, no single vendor dominated heavily.
Customer concentration was moderate. The top five ordering offices within Education—the Chief Financial Officer, Career Technical and Adult Education, Postsecondary Education, Institute of Education Sciences, and Elementary and Secondary Education—placed 20 of 27 orders (74 percent). About 63 percent of task orders carried no set-aside designation; the remaining 37 percent were small-business set-asides, split between 8(a) sole-source and competitive small-business awards.
Work scopes clustered around program evaluation (annual performance reports, grant compliance monitoring), technical assistance to states and local education agencies (dropout prevention, career pathways, charter school implementation), data infrastructure and standards development (education information systems, common data elements), and policy analysis. Task-order values ranged from under $100 thousand to approximately $4.7 million, with durations typically between two and five years. Since the vehicle is closed to new orders and all awarded work completed by 2016, pursuing work under ED-SAT is not viable.
