Emergency Nurses Association

Emergency Nurses Association, doing business as E N A, a tax-exempt nonprofit professional association headquartered in Schaumburg, Illinois, delivers emergency and trauma nursing education and training materials to federal military and veterans healthcare agencies entirely as a prime contractor. The organization competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations, operating on a pure licensing and course-delivery model centered on its proprietary Trauma Nursing Core Course curriculum across federal medical treatment facilities.

ENA's federal footprint is concentrated in military and VA healthcare training. The Defense Health Agency anchors the customer base by award count (14 awards, $956 thousand combined potential value), followed by the Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command (9 awards, $687 thousand). By dollar value, the Defense Health Agency leads at $956 thousand, with the Army Training and Doctrine Command second at $687 thousand and a single Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick definitive contract for $582.5 thousand rounding out the top three. Twenty agencies have placed orders across the 98-award footprint, but these five account for approximately 88% of combined potential value. The agency customer split reveals mild tension between volume and dollars: the Defense Health Agency dominates both rankings, but the single VA contract carries outsized potential value relative to VA's lower award count. Army-related entities (Training and Doctrine Command, Medical Command, and Headquarters Office of the Secretary) collectively represent the second-largest customer cluster by potential value.

ENA's primary NAICS category is Professional and Management Development Training (20 awards), with secondary codes in Professional Organizations (13 awards), Convention and Trade Show Organizers (6 awards), and Book Publishers (3 awards). The PSC footprint reflects the service mix: Books and Pamphlets dominate at 28 awards, followed by Education and Training tuition and registration fees (11 awards) and certification or accreditation services (6 awards). Representative work includes a $582.5 thousand definitive contract from VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick (June 2022, ultimate completion June 2027) procuring 650 eBook manuals, 650 online module licenses, and 15 instructor kits to support VA credentialed trauma nursing instructors nationwide; a $178.9 thousand Defense Health Agency purchase order (October 2025, through September 2027) for Trauma Nursing Core Course 9th Edition instructor and provider materials in Portsmouth, Virginia; and a $133.9 thousand Defense Health Agency purchase order (November 2025, through May 2031) providing military nursing professionals access to the TNCC curriculum in San Antonio, Texas.

Activity remains modest and flat: two awards in 2021, four in 2022, three in 2023, two in 2024, and three through 2025. Combined potential value across all 98 awards is $2.9 million, with $2.8 million obligated (96% realization rate). Two awards totaling $761 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. ENA sits on two indefinite delivery contracts: MDA90594D0022 (3 task orders) and MDA90597D0018 (1 task order). SCI-reported invoiced activity is minimal—$97 thousand in FY2023 alone across three reportable records, with zero FTEs recorded and zero sub-hours—indicating that most federal service work falls below the $150 thousand SCI threshold or takes the form of goods (course materials, manuals, eBooks) and registration fees outside SCI scope. ENA operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint and no demonstrated sub-engagement on SCI-reportable work, positioning the organization as a direct provider of trauma nursing education rather than a systems integrator or managed service firm.
