OPM Learning Management Systems

The Office of Personnel Management established a Master IDIQ for Learning Management Systems support services on July 13, 2012, with a last date to order of July 30, 2015—the vehicle is closed and no longer accepting new orders. The $2 million shared ceiling has been fully obligated across 81 task orders with a combined potential value of $39.4 million, indicating that the vehicle ceiling was exhausted and additional funding was obligated above it.

Ordering activity peaked in 2013 with 41 awards, then declined to 21 orders in 2012 and 19 in 2014, with the final task order awarded on July 14, 2014. The vehicle procured learning management system hosting, support, training services delivery, and e-training program development to support federal workforce development and career planning across OPM's training infrastructure.

Competition concentrated heavily among the top three primes. Plateau Systems, LLC dominated with 31 orders valued at $25.4 million combined potential value, representing roughly 64 percent of total vehicle value. Skillsoft (Us) LLC held 29 orders worth $5.1 million, and GP Strategies Corporation captured 9 orders worth $4.8 million. These three firms accounted for approximately 94 percent of awarded orders and 98 percent of combined potential value. Five additional contractors—including Vertex Solutions, LLC, Sevatec LLC, and Dakota Consulting Incorporated—shared the remaining low-value volume.

Customer concentration was extreme: the Office of Personnel Management issued 80 of 81 orders valued at $33.5 million, with the Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick placing a single order worth $5.9 million. All 81 task orders were unrestricted, unreserved procurements with no set-aside designation. Task order values ranged widely, from under $5,000 to $6.3 million, with typical support and maintenance orders in the $100,000–$500,000 range and larger platform or infrastructure orders exceeding $1 million. The two largest individual orders were OPM1912C0017-O0030 at $6.3 million and OPM1912C0017-O0015 at $5.9 million, both awarded to undisclosed primes.
