About this vehicle

The Office of the Secretary of Defense established this Master BPA on June 2, 2021, to procure SSAE 18 examinations, agreed upon procedures engagements, and financial statement audits under a shared ceiling of $106 million, with ordering closed on June 1, 2026. The vehicle is no longer active for new task-order placement.

Over its five-year lifecycle, the BPA generated 15 task orders with a combined potential value of $53.8 million, of which $36.4 million (68%) has been obligated. Award momentum peaked in 2022 with nine orders, declined to three in 2023, and fell to one in 2024, reflecting the approach of the ordering deadline. Most recent activity shows task orders with multi-year performance periods running through 2027 and 2029, with ceiling values typically ranging from $1.5 million to $10.5 million and obligated amounts at 50–80% of ceiling.

Kearney & Company, P.C. holds the largest combined potential value at $29.4 million across four orders, followed by KPMG LLP with $10.4 million across five orders. Williams, Adley & Company DC LLP, Sikich CPA LLC, and Ernst & Young LLP round out the five-firm awardee pool. Kearney & Company accounts for roughly 55% of combined potential value, indicating moderate competitive concentration.

Defense Finance and Accounting Service dominates customer placement with eight orders valued at $23.8 million combined (roughly 44% of total portfolio), including audits of the Military Pay System, Civilian Pay System, Contract Pay System, Disbursing System, and Financial Reporting Service. Defense Threat Reduction Agency, Defense Contract Management Agency, Defense Human Resources Activity, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense placed the remaining orders. Work comprises both firm-fixed-price and labor-hour engagements, with most orders supporting multi-year audit cycles for critical DoD financial and human resources systems.
