About this vehicle
The Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response awarded this Master IDIQ for training, exercise, and lessons learned services on May 5, 2017, with ordering authority that closed on May 3, 2022—this vehicle is no longer accepting task orders.
The vehicle is effectively exhausted. All $5.6 million in combined potential value across 16 task orders has been obligated. The most recent task order was awarded on May 24, 2019, more than seven years ago. Early ordering momentum—seven task orders in 2017 and seven in 2018—dropped sharply to two in 2019 and ceased thereafter. No new orders are possible under this vehicle.
Work contracted includes training exercise support services and course material development. Task orders ranged from roughly $21,500 to approximately $3 million, priced under both firm-fixed-price and labor-hour models. Notable examples include a $3 million training and exercises delivery order completed in May 2020, and a $273,137 National Disaster Stewardship Mission course material development order completed in May 2022.
Competition was extremely concentrated. The CNA Corporation won 14 of 16 orders worth $5.3 million combined potential value. Constant And Associates, Inc. won the remaining two orders worth $356 thousand. All 16 orders funded ASPR—no other customer agency participated. All task orders were unrestricted (no set-aside designations).
This vehicle should be skipped for current business development. It expired four years ago with full obligational capacity already consumed. Inquiries about successor or related vehicles under ASPR for training and exercise services would be more productive.
