Alan KER Consulting

Alan KER Consulting is a sole proprietorship registered as a for-profit organization to receive federal contracts and grants. Based on its recent award history, it appears to provide expert review and analysis services, particularly focused on evaluating confidential insurance product submissions, modifications, and concept proposals for the Department of Agriculture's Risk Management Agency (RMA).

Alan KER Consulting has been awarded numerous firm fixed price contracts from the RMA over the past several years, with values typically ranging from $5,000 to $26,400 for individual expert review tasks. These contracts require the company to analyze and assess confidential submissions related to federal crop insurance programs and disaster relief efforts within specified timeframes, often 2-3 months. The reviews likely involve evaluating actuarial data, underwriting standards, and compliance to provide recommendations to the RMA on insurance product viability and regulatory adherence. No subcontractors or set-aside designations are indicated across Alan KER Consulting's past awards.

In October 2023, the RMA awarded Alan KER Consulting a $250,000 single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to provide actuarial and underwriting expert review services for policies, plans of insurance, and related materials as mandated by the Federal Crop Insurance Act. This BPA, valid through September 2028, enables the RMA to rapidly issue task orders for Alan KER Consulting to perform confidential assessments and validations of insurance submissions to ensure actuarial soundness and compliance with underwriting criteria. A $6,000 initial task order was also issued concurrently for a 3-week expert review. By centrally procuring these third-party evaluation services through the BPA vehicle, the RMA can efficiently facilitate its oversight responsibilities for federal crop insurance and disaster assistance programs.
