VA Western Region Tutoring 2014-2016

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Western Region Tutoring Master Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) provides educational assistance and tutoring services specifically for service-connected disabled Veterans across nine western United States, including Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Washington. The contract vehicle, established on October 1, 2014, with a last ordering date of September 30, 2019, focuses on delivering specialized tutoring support to Veterans through multiple prime contractors. Task orders under this BPA consistently involve tutoring services for various VA Regional Offices (RO), with a clear emphasis on supporting Veterans' Rehabilitation and Employment (VR & E) programs.

Task orders under this BPA typically range from $10,000 to $120,000, with most awards between $30,000 and $85,000, and durations generally spanning fiscal year periods (approximately 12 months). The task orders consistently target specific VA Regional Offices such as Boise, Salt Lake City, Anchorage, Seattle, Reno, and Albuquerque, indicating a systematic approach to providing localized educational support. While no set-asides were used in these specific task orders, the contract appears to support minority-owned and small businesses, as evidenced by references to self-certified small disadvantaged businesses like Tutorcare L.L.C. The BPA calls are uniformly structured as Firm Fixed Price contracts, providing predictability in pricing and scope for both the VA and contracted tutoring providers. Funding consistently comes from the VA Veteran Benefits Administration, specifically targeting educational and vocational rehabilitation services for service-connected disabled Veterans.
