Ivy Planning Group LLC

Ivy Planning Group LLC, a women-owned small business based in Bethesda, Maryland, delivers diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) consulting, workforce development training, and organizational change services to federal agencies as a prime contractor operating exclusively under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) parent vehicle.

Ivy Planning Group holds SBA certifications as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), Economically Disadvantaged Woman-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB), and Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB). The firm competes predominantly in full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurement, though roughly 30% of recent awards carry small-business set-asides (WOSB sole-source, Total Small Business, or Woman-Owned Small Business designations). Ivy Planning Group classifies under primary NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), with secondary activity in professional and management development training (NAICS 611430).

The vendor's customer base spans 41 agencies, with dollar concentration anchored by two anchor BPAs. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) leads by potential value across eight awards worth $31.5 million combined, supported by a $30 million single-award BPA (NHLBI LEAD BPA III, running through August 2028) under which Ivy Planning issues task orders for DEI assessment, training, and technical assistance tied to the LEAD program's health-disparities mission. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service contributes $25.2 million across two awards, anchored by a separate $25 million single-award BPA (running through January 2025) for DEIA assessment and racial equity training. These two customers account for roughly 62% of the vendor's combined potential-value footprint. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission Central Office (7 awards, $2.3 million) ranks third, followed by the Small Business Administration Office of Performance Management and Chief Financial Officer (3 awards, $3 million, including two Treasury-housed BPAs of $1.5 million each for professional and management development training). By award count, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau dominates with nine awards ($911 thousand combined), a volume-over-dollars profile reflecting smaller tactical engagements.

Ivy Planning Group holds four active blanket purchase agreements under the GSA MAS: the two cited above plus two Treasury-housed BPAs with the Office of Human Resources Solutions (OHRS) — one awarded August 2024 and one awarded May 2025, each valued at $1.5 million through August 2029. Across all parent vehicles, the GSA Multiple Award Schedule captures 32 task orders worth $63.5 million combined potential value, forming the backbone of the vendor's prime footprint. The Federal Supply Schedule GS23F9805H (a GSA schedule variant) accounts for 35 task orders worth $3.4 million combined.

Representative prime work includes a $264,788 delivery order from the Office of the Inspector General (May 2026, ultimate completion April 2031) for EEO and Office of General Counsel training services; a $1.004 million WOSB-set-aside delivery order from the National Library of Medicine (September 2024, ultimate completion September 2027) for diversity, equity, and accessibility workforce training; and a $523,820 purchase order from the Department of Commerce Service Center (January 2026, through December 2026) for the "Building a Great Place to Work" initiative option year two. The vendor has also executed two large purchase orders under contract DCSC-23-RFP-86 with an unnamed federal agency ("Building a Great Place to Work" consulting services, September 2023, each ceiling $2.513 million) and a January 2026 renewal ($523,820 ceiling).

Activity volume has remained stable but thin in recent years — seven awards in 2021, eight in 2023, eight in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 — with only three awards (combined potential value $2.2 million) facing recompete within the next twenty-four months. The vendor operates 100% as a prime contractor with zero subcontract exposure in the tracked portfolio, indicating vertically integrated delivery. SCI-reportable federal service-contract invoicing totaled $1 million across FY2022–FY2024 ($308 thousand in FY2022, $569 thousand in FY2023, $153 thousand in FY2024), representing roughly 0.6 to 0.8 FTEs in those years — a small slice of total federal revenue and a reflection of the SCI reporting threshold ($150,000 minimum). Median government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reported contracts run around $253/hr, with senior labor pricing reaching the $355/hr range, consistent with strategy consulting and organizational development positioning.
