About the company
American Nurses Credentialing Center, Inc., doing business as Center For American Nurses Inc., is a tax-exempt non-profit subsidiary of the American Nurses' Association that delivers nursing credentialing, accreditation, and assessment services to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Defense Health Agency as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders with no set-aside designation. ANCC operates from Silver Spring, Maryland, and has earned sole-source justifications across its federal portfolio, reflecting the proprietary nature of its nursing excellence designation programs.
ANCC's federal footprint centers on three proprietary service lines: the Magnet Recognition Program, which assesses and certifies healthcare organizations' nursing practice environments and leadership competency; the Pathway to Excellence Designation Program, which evaluates nursing practice standards and organizational commitment to excellence; and the American Nurses Practice Transition Accreditation Program, which accredits nurse residency and clinical transition programs. Representative recent work includes a $91,390 purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (April 2026) for Magnet program appraisal reviews and certification assessments at Long Beach, California; a $81,875 purchase order from VISN 17 (November 2024) for Pathway to Excellence organizational appraisal and support services at Dallas, Texas; a $111,599 definitive contract from VISN 10 (March 2026) for funding-fee and designation-decision services in Cleveland, Ohio; and a $41,250 purchase order from the Defense Health Agency (September 2023) for Pathway to Excellence accreditation review services at Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii, covering a base period plus three option years through September 2027.
The Department of Veterans Affairs dominates ANCC's customer base, with individual Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs) collectively accounting for the majority of awards and combined potential value across the portfolio. Among ranked customers, VISN 17 anchors the largest combined potential value at $440 thousand across nine awards; VISN 21 follows with $352 thousand across fourteen awards; and VISN 12 carries $303 thousand across seventeen awards. The Defense Health Agency holds the fourth-largest share at $257 thousand across eleven awards. This customer concentration reflects ANCC's established role as the sole-source provider of specialized nursing credentialing and accreditation services within the federal healthcare system. The source shows 1,666 total awards in ANCC's portfolio spanning multiple fiscal years, with recent activity at four awards in 2026, ten in 2024, and ten in 2023—indicating stable demand from repeat customers rather than growth trajectory. Sixteen awards carrying combined potential value of $686 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete risk in that window.
ANCC operates entirely as a prime contractor (100% of awards); the source reports no sub-award footprint. All awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders categorized under NAICS 813920 (Professional Organizations) or PSC codes for professional certifications and accreditations and administrative support services. ANCC competes under full-and-open procurement without small business set-asides, with the VA and Defense Health Agency consistently citing ANCC as the only responsible source under Federal Acquisition Regulation sole-source authorities, underscoring the government's assessment that ANCC's proprietary program design and trademark protections create a captive market position within federal healthcare credentialing.
