US Secret Service EEO Investigations

The U.S. Secret Service established this Master IDIQ for EEO complaint investigations on December 9, 2010, with a shared ceiling of $150 thousand, but the vehicle is no longer active—ordering closed on December 11, 2015, more than ten years ago.

The vehicle contracted investigation and analytical services for employee Equal Employment Opportunity complaints within the Secret Service. All 25 awarded task orders were firm fixed price, unrestricted competitive buys with no set-asides. Task-order values ranged from zero to approximately $99.5 thousand, with most falling between $3 thousand and $39 thousand. The combined potential value across all orders was $578 thousand, fully obligated by the time the ordering period ended.

Work concentrated heavily with the Secret Service itself, which placed 24 of 25 orders ($558 thousand combined potential value), with one order from the DHS Chief Procurement Officer ($20 thousand). The customer base was essentially monolithic—the vehicle existed solely to serve Secret Service EEO needs.

Prime contractor concentration was moderate. JDG Associates Inc. led by potential value with six orders totaling $213 thousand, followed by The Law Offices of Stuart L. Plotnick, LLC with eight orders worth $188 thousand, and EEO Network with six orders valued at $138 thousand. US Investigations Services, LLC rounded out the four primes with five orders totaling $39 thousand. The top three primes collectively held 20 of 25 orders and approximately 84 percent of combined potential value.

Ordering activity peaked in 2012, when the vehicle generated nine task orders. Activity declined afterward—one order in 2014 and six orders in 2015 before the vehicle expired. The most recent awards, issued in November 2015, were individual EEO investigation cases valued between $16.8 thousand and $21.5 thousand, consistent with the vehicle's typical order profile throughout its life.
