Ongoing Course Development and Support

The Federal Highway Administration established this Master IDIQ for the National Highway Institute on November 19, 2018, to procure non-personal services for course development and update, training material, and related technical and administrative support. The vehicle's ordering period closed on November 17, 2023, and is no longer accepting new task orders.

The vehicle is substantially exhausted. Eighteen task orders totaling $18.8 million in combined potential value have been issued, with $18.3 million obligated—98 percent of the shared ceiling of $19.1 million. The most recent task-order award was issued on September 30, 2022, more than three years ago. Of the 18 orders, two were administrative minimum-guarantee placeholders valued at zero dollars each. The remaining 16 orders reflect actual program work, with individual task-order values ranging from approximately $146,717 to $5.5 million. Task orders combine firm-fixed-price and time-and-materials pricing. Ordering activity peaked in 2019 with 12 awards, declined to 4 awards in 2022, and ceased thereafter.

Two prime contractors captured all awarded orders. Its Agile, LLC holds 10 orders valued at $12 million combined potential value; Spatial Front Inc. holds 8 orders valued at $6.8 million. All 18 task orders funded Federal Highway Administration programs, concentrating customer spend entirely within FHWA.

The work spans instructional systems design, program management, administrative office support, systems support, media creation, marketing and communications, and business analyst services. Notable orders include instructional systems design support at $5.5 million, administrative office support at $2.3 million, systems support at $2.2 million, and marketing support services at $1.1 million.

No set-aside designations were applied to any task order; all awards were unrestricted competitive procurements. Pursuit of this vehicle is not viable—the ordering period is closed, and the shared ceiling is nearly exhausted with no new task orders anticipated.

The National Highway Institute (NHI) which is part of the FHWA Office of Technical Services (OTS), has a requirement for non-personal services for ongoing course development and update, training material, and related technical and administrative support services. Specific expertise and experience required includes, but is not limited to training development support, training delivery support, management of a training program, general administrative, office and conference center support.
