Federal Railroad Administration A-123 Support

The Federal Railroad Administration established a Master BPA for A-123 internal control support services on December 27, 2024, with a shared ceiling of $60 million and ordering authority extending through December 23, 2029. This is an unrestricted vehicle; no set-asides govern the overall BPA structure, though the award distribution shows 38% of orders designated as unrestricted competitive.

Ordering activity accelerated early but has slowed recently. Seven task orders were placed in 2025, followed by one order in 2026 (most recent on June 10, 2026). Combined potential value across eight awarded task orders stands at $4.4 million, with $3.3 million obligated to date—75% of that potential value already committed. Remaining ordering capacity against the $60 million ceiling is substantial, suggesting the vehicle remains in early execution.

The work centers on OMB A-123 internal control assessments, risk management documentation, and audit support across multiple Department of Transportation sub-agencies. Recent orders address Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) internal controls, Enterprise Risk Management and Internal Control (ERMIC) support, and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) financial-control auditing. Task-order ceilings range from $274.8 thousand to $966.5 thousand, with performance periods typically 12 months or less, though one FRA order extends through December 2029.

Deloitte & Touche LLP dominates the vendor base, holding five of eight awards worth $2.8 million combined potential value. Castro & Company, LLC holds two orders worth $1.2 million, and Ernst & Young LLP holds one order worth $451 thousand. This concentration—Deloitte represents approximately 64% of potential value—reflects the specialized nature of A-123 audit and internal-control work.

Customer demand is fragmented across seven DOT agencies. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) leads with two orders worth $1.2 million combined. The FRA, FMCSA, Maritime Administration, Federal Transit Administration, and DOT Office of Inspector General each hold one order. This distribution suggests sustained but dispersed demand across the transportation portfolio, with no single customer agency dominating the vehicle.
