MCA Capacity Building Training and Development

The Millennium Challenge Corporation established the MCA Capacity Building Training and Development Master IDIQ on November 3, 2008, with a shared ceiling of $17.5 million, but the ordering period closed on November 2, 2013—this vehicle is no longer accepting new task orders.

The vehicle funded training and development work for the Millennium Challenge Corporation exclusively. Task orders delivered procurement training in Malawi, management training for accountable entities, technical assistance to the Water Authority of Jordan, data reference modeling, and monitoring and evaluation training in Malawi. Pricing structures included time and materials, labor hours, and firm fixed price; work performed internationally across Malawi, Jordan, and other partner-country locations.

Activity was front-loaded. Seven task orders awarded between April 2009 and September 2011, with four orders issued in 2009, two in 2010, and one in 2011. The most recent order closed in September 2011, leaving a fourteen-year gap with no new ordering activity. Combined task-order potential value reached $4.8 million, with $3.2 million obligated (65% of potential). The ceiling gap—$17.5 million authorized versus $4.8 million task-order potential across all awardees—suggests significant unutilized contract authority.

Three primes shared all work. Integrated Business & Technical Consultants, Inc. led by potential value ($2.1 million across two orders), followed by Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. ($1.8 million across two orders) and Social Impact Inc. ($976 thousand across three orders). No set-aside designations applied; all orders competed or awarded unrestricted.

The vehicle offers no current opportunity. The ordering period expired over twelve years ago with no recent activity or successor vehicle in the source material. Firms with established relationships on prior task orders and capability in international capacity-building training would have been the competitive base, but the vehicle is closed to new work.
