FSA Nationwide Management Support

The Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency awarded this Master IDIQ on June 10, 2013, but ordering closed on August 9, 2018, making the vehicle inactive for pursuing new work. The contract provided a full range of management support services nationwide—human resources support, financial support, management services support, budget support, information technology support, security support, administrative support, and acquisition support—to USDA, FSA, and other USDA offices across the contiguous United States, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Caribbean.

Activity has ceased. The vehicle issued 119 task orders between June 2013 and June 2018, with peak ordering in 2015 (42 orders) followed by steep decline; only 4 orders were placed in 2018 before the ordering period ended. The combined potential value across all task orders is $191 million, with $160.9 million obligated (84% of potential), indicating the vehicle exhausted its capacity late in its lifecycle.

Competition was highly concentrated and dominated by a single incumbent. Your Recruiting Company, Inc. captured 78 of 119 orders ($110 million potential value, 58% of the total), while Panum Telecom, L.L.C. held 32 orders ($55.2 million, 29%). Davis-Paige Management Systems LLC and Caci Dynamic Systems, LLC together accounted for the remaining 9 orders ($25.8 million). This two-firm concentration—Your Recruiting Company and Panum holding roughly 87% of awarded orders—reflects a mature vehicle with entrenched incumbents.

Customer concentration was less severe but still skewed. FSA Washington Office alone placed 60 orders ($111.7 million), representing roughly 50% of ordering activity. Food and Nutrition Service (18 orders, $39.6 million) and Agricultural Research Service (22 orders, $10.6 million) were secondary customers. The remaining six agencies collectively placed 19 orders, demonstrating that FSA Washington Office drove the vehicle's utilization.

Nearly all task orders were unrestricted; 118 of 119 orders (99%) carried no set-aside, with only one small-business order awarded. Task orders typically ranged from low five figures to several million dollars. Representative task orders included staffing and recruitment work (330 ARS positions for $1 million), HR support and classification services ($450 thousand to $2.6 million), SNAP education support ($2.5 million), and IT project management and data center migration work (up to $1.4 million). Pricing varied across firm fixed price, labor hours, and time-and-materials structures.

Work performance was nationwide, with task order descriptions referencing Kansas City, Washington D.C., and multiple field offices, though geographic concentration data are not presented. The vehicle's closure and high utilization rate mean it is not a pursuit target for new work.

The Department of Agriculture, Farm Service Agency, has awarded a Master IDIQ for a full range of contractor support to include human resources support, financial support, management services support (operation management support) budget support, information technology support, emergency preparedness (security support) , administrative support, and acquisition support for designated agency programs and priorities. Vehicle-holders provide support to USDA, FFAS, and USDA offices in the contiguous united states, to include Alaska, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Caribbean.
