National Academy Of Public Administration

The National Academy of Public Administration, a congressionally chartered nonprofit tax-exempt organization headquartered in Washington, DC, operates as a pure prime contractor (100% of 356 recent awards) delivering management consulting, organizational assessment, program evaluation, and strategic advisory services to federal agencies exclusively under full-and-open competition without set-aside positioning. NAPA does not subcontract; across SCI-reportable prime contracts, sub-hours account for only 3% of total contractor hours, with just six named subcontractors identified over the reporting period.

NAPA's customer base spans 111 distinct federal agencies, though concentration clusters around a handful of repeat customers. The top five funding agencies by potential value account for 65% of combined award dollars: GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors the portfolio with $165.1 million in potential value across four awards (the $4 million Multiple Award Schedule contract awarded January 17, 2024 through January 16, 2029, plus task orders under it), followed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ($6.7 million across 7 awards), NOAA ($4.7 million across 13 awards), the Office of the Secretary of Defense ($3.8 million across 5 awards), and the Commerce Department's Office of the Secretary ($2.8 million across 10 awards). NASA tops the count metrics with 27 awards, though dollar concentration does not follow award volume — NASA's awards are characteristically smaller in value than GSA Schedule task orders issued by civilian technical agencies. Across recent fiscal years, NAPA executed 3 awards in 2026, 1 in 2025, 5 in 2024, 8 in 2023, and 7 in 2022, reflecting flattening activity compared to prior-decade volumes captured in the 356-award historical portfolio.

NAPA's work is delivered through two primary vehicles. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract, renewed January 2024, supports 88 task orders valued at $55.3 million and spans SIN 541611 (Management and Financial Consulting), with a 15-labor-category portfolio rated from high school education ($63.91/hr) through master's-level President-tier roles ($351.47/hr); median government-paid rates on SCI contracts run approximately $148.80/hr. The Navy's Basic Ordering Agreement N0060087D1927 sustains 9 task orders. Recent representative awards include a $1 million FAA definitive contract (December 30, 2025) for a congressionally mandated NextGen Accountability Review under Section 603 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024, a $999.997 thousand NOAA delivery order (June 22, 2026) for analysis of a congressionally mandated fishery disaster insurance program (single-source directed to NAPA), a $1.506 million Navy task order (September 18, 2023) for a Navy Working Capital Fund operations study, and a $1.608 million DoD Office of the Secretary definitive contract (April 12, 2022) for an independent study of missile defense roles and responsibilities across DoD components.

Capability scope centers on organizational health assessment, change management strategy, IT modernization evaluation, shared-services restructuring, permitting and regulatory process review, and policy advisory support grounded in NAPA's congressionally chartered mandate to provide nonpartisan counsel on public administration challenges. Recent work includes IT organizational assessments for NTIA ($994.7 thousand, completed March 25, 2025, with $750 thousand in cost avoidance through option cancellation), evaluation of NSF's Directorate for Geosciences ($1.097 million, completed March 31, 2025), EPA Indian Country permitting process review ($149.979 thousand), and Coast Guard requirements generation and capability development framework overhaul ($841.5 thousand, July 13, 2026, with mission engineering specialist support modification). Training delivery rounds out the portfolio — two agile transformation coursework orders to the Selective Service System ($114.969 thousand in February 2024 and $114.859 thousand in July 2023, both "Implementing Agile Practices in Institutional Transformation").

SCI-reported invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2025 totaled $14.7 million, with FY2023 marking the peak at $5.3 million and FY2024 declining to $1.3 million; FY2025 recovered to $5.4 million. Contractor FTE footprint on these prime SCI contracts ranged from 4.8 FTEs in FY2024 to 15.4 in FY2023. Within twenty-four months, NAPA faces recompete exposure of $2.2 million across three awards reaching ultimate completion — a manageable cliff relative to the $280.6 million combined potential value across the full historical portfolio and the renewed GSA Schedule baseline through January 2029.
