About this vehicle
The Department of Education's Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education awarded this Master IDIQ for career and technical education capacity-building services on September 21, 2015, with a shared ceiling of $50 million, but ordering closed on September 23, 2020, and is no longer available for new task orders.
Activity under the vehicle has ceased. Four task orders were awarded between September 2015 and August 2019, with the most recent order placed nearly seven years ago. Combined potential value across all orders totals $3.8 million, of which $3.7 million (98%) has been obligated. The vehicle generated minimal ordering velocity even during its active window — three orders in 2015 and one in 2019 — and no orders have been placed since.
Work contracted focused on postsecondary career pathways systems and stackable credentials. Task orders funded technical assistance to help states implement comprehensive career pathways systems, support community college consortia in embedding industry-recognized certifications within degree programs, and explore the role of secondary CTE programs in preparing students for apprenticeships. All work was delivered under firm-fixed-price arrangements.
Competition was minimal. Three prime contractors shared the four orders: The Manhattan Strategy Group LLC received one order with $1.8 million potential value; Center for Occupational Research and Development, Inc. received two orders totaling $1.5 million; and Research Triangle Institute received one order for $377 thousand. All orders were placed by OCTAE directly with no set-asides. The vehicle served only one customer agency.
This vehicle is closed to new procurement and should not be pursued for future work.
