Federal Employees Retirement And Benefits Institute, L.L.C.

Federal Employees Retirement and Benefits Institute, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Fort Washington, Maryland, delivers federal employee retirement and benefits training to the Department of the Navy, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of the Air Force exclusively as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The firm operates as a for-profit limited liability company with SDVOSB and VOSB designations and concentrates its capability portfolio on FERS and CSRS retirement education, thrift savings plan financial literacy, and federal benefits orientation delivered through in-person, virtual, and eLearning formats.

The vendor's customer footprint is heavily concentrated. The Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command accounts for 10 of 12 awards, representing $348 thousand of combined potential value; the Department of Agriculture's Office of the Chief Information Officer holds 1 award valued at $437 thousand; and the Department of the Air Force's Air Mobility Command holds 1 award valued at $50 thousand. The USDA award, issued July 1, 2026, is the single largest contract in the portfolio — a definitive contract for development and delivery of a minimum nine eLearning courses on financial literacy, retirement, and thrift savings plan strategies for Federal Employees Retirement System and Civil Service Retirement System participants, with a base period through June 30, 2027 and four optional one-year renewal periods extending through June 30, 2031. The contract ceiling of $437,460.01 covers up to 90,000 licenses for USDA Federal employees and 6,000 additional licenses for external federal agencies in the base period. Place of performance is Kansas City, Missouri; courses must be SCORM or AICC compliant, Section 508 accessible, and created by Certified Financial Planning Professionals, with FISMA-Moderate authorization required.

The Navy relationship, anchored by a $249,999 Blanket Purchase Agreement with NAVSEA awarded June 25, 2024 and extending through June 24, 2029, has generated three task orders totaling $13 thousand in combined potential value for FERS and CSRS retirement training delivered in both virtual and on-site formats to Navy personnel. Recent NAVSEA task orders include a $9,000 BPA call for retirement training issued November 25, 2025, completion by September 30, 2026; a $3,500 on-site FERS training task order issued December 16, 2024; and a $500 virtual FERS training call for 25 attendees issued August 26, 2025. Activity is sparse and sporadic — one award in 2020, one in 2021, two in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — with only $9 thousand of combined potential value reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing minimal recompete risk in that window. The vendor operates as a pure prime (100% of awards), holds no sub positions, and carries no IDV vehicles beyond the NAVSEA BPA.

The Federal Employees Retirement and Benefits Institute is a veteran-owned small business that has been approved as a registered vendor for the Federal Government.*
