About the company
College Entrance Examination Board, doing business as The College Board, a non-profit educational assessment organization headquartered in New York, operates as a prime contractor delivering standardized testing, exam administration, and student data services to the federal government across 29 distinct customer agencies. The organization competes exclusively full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.
The College Board's federal capability portfolio centers on College Level Examination Program (CLEP) exam administration and preparation for military service members, military families, and Department of Defense civilians; Advanced Placement (AP) course design and teacher professional development; and student search and enrollment planning services supporting military recruiting and academy admissions. Representative prime contract work includes a $38.5 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Defense Human Resources Activity running through May 31, 2027, funding CLEP exam delivery across all Department of Defense components and the U.S. Coast Guard; a $9.9 million single-award IDIQ awarded by the Department of Defense Education Activity on September 1, 2025, for a nationally recognized Common Core State Standards assessment system implementation across DoDEA middle and high schools, with ultimate completion by June 30, 2030; and a $1.6 million delivery order from DoDEA for nationally recognized postsecondary-preparation assessments, with completion by July 14, 2027.
Customer concentration is heavily defense-aligned. The Department of the Navy Bureau of Naval Personnel leads by potential value at $140.2 million across 40 awards. The Defense Human Resources Activity follows with $93.1 million across 29 awards. The Department of Defense Education Activity accounts for $28 million across 44 awards. These three customers represent 98% of combined potential value across all awards. The College Board also serves the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard ($609 thousand across 8 awards), the Department of Education Office of Communications and Outreach ($95 thousand across 16 awards), and the Department of the Army Recruiting Command ($213 thousand across 4 awards). The top five customers by potential value account for approximately 98% of all federal funding.
The organization holds two significant parent vehicles. The $38.5 million Defense Human Resources Activity CLEP IDIQ, effective through May 31, 2027, has generated delivery order activity exceeding $11 million to date, supporting active-duty and reserve service members, military spouses through Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts programs, DoD civilians, and U.S. Coast Guard and Air Force personnel. The $9.9 million DoDEA IDIQ for systemwide Common Core State Standards assessment implementation, awarded September 1, 2025, with a June 30, 2030 completion date, represents The College Board's largest single-award vehicle and anchors its defense-education market position. Beyond these two major IDIQs, The College Board places task orders under Navy Basic Ordering Agreements N0018917DZ050 (20 task orders, $18.1 million combined potential value), N0061285D0494 (16 task orders), and N0061283D0367 (11 task orders), as well as an Army IDIQ for recruiting command support.
Recent activity shows modest ordering volume — six awards in 2026, five in 2025, nine in 2024 — compared to a long historical footprint dating to 1980. The organization faces minimal near-term recompete exposure, with only six awards (combined potential value $3.1 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The College Board's award profile has obligated $242.9 million against a combined potential value of $267.7 million across 310 prime awards, reflecting high execution velocity on its federal work. All recent contract awards carry firm fixed-price pricing and no set-asides.
Federal grant work is limited but capability-signaling. The College Board is a recipient on two National Science Foundation project grants under the Education and Human Resources directorate: a December 15, 2024 grant for "EducateAI: Leveling Up — Building AP-CSA Teacher Capacity for Project-Based Learning," developing teacher professional learning resources and lesson plans for Advanced Placement Computer Science A courses with artificial intelligence topics, with completion by November 30, 2028; and an October 1, 2023 EAGER grant for "Career Kickstart: High School Pathway to a Thriving Cybersecurity Career," supporting Phase I groundwork for a Career Kickstart cybersecurity pathway aligned to workforce demand, with completion by February 28, 2025. Both grants position the organization's educational curriculum design and teacher preparation capabilities within the federal research and development space.
