National Bank Examination Support Services

The Department of the Treasury Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) established this Master IDIQ for national bank examination support services on January 1, 2008, with ordering authority that closed on June 30, 2018. The vehicle is now closed and no longer accepting new orders. This was a 100 percent small business set-aside, multiple-award IDIQ under which the OCC contracted for on-demand examination services at bank locations nationwide.

The vehicle executed 1,088 task orders over its lifecycle, with combined obligated value of $11.5 million representing 100 percent of combined potential value. Ordering activity accelerated through the mid-2010s, peaking at 193 orders in 2015, then declined sharply in the final years—only 14 orders in 2018 before the vehicle closed. The most recent task order award was June 4, 2018. Place of performance spanned the continental United States, with OCC directing examination work to bank locations on a case-by-case basis; recent orders show concentration in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest (Pittsburgh and Philadelphia areas, Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio) alongside scattered Southern and Western locations.

Work contracted includes on-site examination services for national banks and thrift institutions, with individual task-order values typically ranging from under $1,000 for travel-related calls to roughly $25,000 for multi-day examinations. Firm fixed pricing governed all awards. The vehicle allocated roughly 96 percent of orders to total small business contractors and 4 percent unrestricted; the majority of recent orders carry the small business set-aside designation.

The awardee base was highly fragmented. The top five primes by order count—Graham Thomas A, Dee Consulting Group LLC, Financial Institution Advisory Group Inc., Gary L Meier, and David W Weatherman—held only 22 percent of total orders combined. The top five by potential value held 24 percent, with Randall James JR, Gary Stoley, Dee Consulting Group LLC, Financial Institution Advisory Group Inc., and David W Weatherman capturing the largest shares. Sixty-two distinct small business prime contractors participated. All 1,088 orders funded OCC priorities exclusively; no other agencies drew against the vehicle. The vehicle is now exhausted and closed to further ordering.
