VA Western Region Tutoring 2014-2016

The Department of Veterans Affairs Benefits Administration North Atlantic District awarded a Master BPA for educational tutoring services to service-connected disabled Veterans across the Western Region (Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Washington) on October 1, 2014, with ordering authority that closed on September 30, 2019.

This vehicle is no longer active for new task orders. The ordering period ended six years and nine months ago, and the most recent task order was awarded on October 26, 2018. The BPA executed 24 task orders over its active life, with ordering momentum declining sharply in its final years: 12 orders in 2016, 8 in 2017, and only 4 in 2018. The combined potential value across all task orders is $1.2 million, of which $1.2 million has been obligated, representing full utilization of authorized funds.

Three prime contractors shared the awards equally by order count and combined potential value: Professional Tutors Of America, Inc. (9 orders, $396 thousand), Lobo One Education Consultants, LLC (8 orders, $382 thousand), and Tutorcare L.L.C. (7 orders, $377 thousand). Task orders carried no set-aside designations; all 24 were unrestricted competitive awards.

Customer ordering concentrated within the Veterans Benefits Administration. The VA Veteran Benefits Administration Headquarters placed roughly 46 percent of task orders by dollar value ($653 thousand across 11 orders), while the Salt Lake City Regional Benefit Office accounted for approximately 26 percent ($317 thousand across 8 orders). Anchorage, Albuquerque, and Boise regional offices placed the remainder in smaller volumes.

Task order values ranged from approximately $1.5 thousand to $120 thousand, with durations typically running 8 to 12 months. Most recent calls in 2018 centered on Regional Office tutoring for Fiscal Year needs at Salt Lake City ($55 thousand to $78 thousand per order) and Boise ($33 thousand to $55 thousand per order).
