About the company
Association For Clinical Pastoral Education Inc., doing business as Acpe, is a non-profit organization based in Atlanta, Georgia, that operates as a federal prime contractor (100% of awards) providing clinical pastoral education accreditation services, chaplain training support, and accreditation-related professional development to the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of the Army, and the Department of the Navy. Acpe holds no set-aside designations and competes on a full-and-open basis; the organization has maintained federal contractor status since 2003 and is the sole authorized accreditor of clinical pastoral education programs recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, a fact that has justified sole-source procurements across multiple federal agencies.
Acpe's capability portfolio centers on clinical pastoral education accreditation services, accredited Clinical Pastoral Education units, certified educator candidate slots and continuing education, chaplain training symposia, and pastoral education program oversight. Representative awards include a $387,100 definitive contract from the Army's Training and Doctrine Command for academic accreditation oversight of the U.S. Army Institute for Religious Leadership's Clinical Pastoral Education program through May 2029; an $80,294 purchase order from the VA National Chaplain Office for Clinical Pastoral Education accreditation services and certified educator candidate slots for the National VA Clinical Pastoral Education Center through April 2029; a $95,139.71 purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 for Level I and Level II clinical pastoral education resident and intern programs at the St. Cloud VA Health Care System through August 2030; and a $102,685 Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery purchase order for chaplain training symposium support completed in 2023.
Customer concentration is split between Army chaplaincy training and VA regional medical centers. The top five funding agencies (by combined potential value) account for 77% of recent awards: the Army's Training and Doctrine Command leads with 23 awards totaling $939 thousand, followed by VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 with 13 awards and $360 thousand, VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 with 7 awards and $236 thousand, VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 with 10 awards and $125 thousand, and the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery with 4 awards and $115 thousand. Only one award worth $42 thousand faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months. Over the past five years (2022–2026), Acpe has averaged roughly two to three awards per year, suggesting stable but modest transaction volume. Acpe does not maintain a subcontractor footprint within the federal awards tracked in the source. The organization categorizes primarily under Professional Organizations (76 awards) and specializes in Education/Training certifications and accreditations (43 awards) and professional support certifications (27 awards) across its federal business.
