National Bank Examination Services 2017-2021

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, a bureau of the Department of the Treasury, established this Master IDIQ for national bank examination services on January 1, 2017, with ordering authority ending December 31, 2021—meaning the vehicle is closed to new orders as of mid-2022. Ordering has ceased for over four years, and no task orders have been awarded since October 5, 2020. This vehicle is not suitable for active pursuit.

The work comprised on-site examinations of national banks and federally chartered savings institutions, performed at individual bank locations nationwide. Task orders were individually scoped to specific examination events, typically lasting several days to weeks and yielding firm-fixed-price orders in the range of roughly $5,000 to $20,000 per engagement.

The competitive field was heavily concentrated: Dee Consulting Group, LLC dominated with 72 of 138 total task orders (52% of all awards) and $588 thousand in combined potential value, capturing about 75% of the vehicle's economic activity by themselves. Financial Institution Advisory Group, Inc.; Ernest W. Meier; and individual contractors Blake Patrick B and Drescher, C Randy JR rounded out the top performers, but the prime contractor universe was fragmented—14 distinct primes were awarded orders, with a long tail of solo practitioners and boutique firms. All orders flowed to a single customer: the OCC itself.

About 72% of orders (99 of 138) were competed unrestricted; the remaining 28% (39 orders) carried small business set-asides, with no women-owned, 8(a), or other federal socioeconomic designations appearing. Most recent awards from 2020 and 2019 show typical order values between $5,500 and $18,000, with durations of two to four weeks. The combined potential value of all 138 task orders was $1.1 million, fully obligated. Ordering activity declined sharply in the final year—only 7 orders in 2020 versus 63 in 2017—signaling wind-down of the vehicle.
