Act Inc.

Act Inc. is a non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov since 2001, headquartered in Iowa City, Iowa. The organization specializes in educational testing, scoring services, career readiness certification, and skills-based training programs for various federal agencies. While specific details about the organization's comprehensive mission are not provided in the award history, the contract awards demonstrate Act Inc.'s commitment to supporting educational and workforce development initiatives across multiple federal departments.

Act Inc. has been a prime federal contractor primarily with the U.S. Department of Education and the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, providing specialized services through multiple contract vehicles. The most significant contract awards include the Career/Work Readiness Certificate Program (CWRCP) with the Bureau of Prisons, a $7.25 million indefinite delivery contract aimed at reducing recidivism by providing vocational and life skills certifications to inmates prior to release. Additionally, Act Inc. has been awarded several purchase orders from the Department of Education's Office of Communications and Outreach for scoring services related to the Presidential Scholars Program, each valued at $14,900. In September 2023, the organization also received a $164,761.85 purchase order from the USDA's Procurement Management Division for the Community Based Fellows Program, designed to attract community-based talent to rural development agencies. None of these contracts utilized set-aside designations, and Act Inc. has consistently been the prime contractor for these federal awards.
