National Academy Of Public Administration

National Academy of Public Administration, a congressionally chartered nonprofit based in Washington, DC, provides management consulting, organizational assessment, program evaluation, and strategic advisory services to federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively—355 awards across 110 customer agencies over the source period, with zero subcontract activity. NAPA competes full-and-open; no set-aside designations recur across its prime portfolio.

NAPA's capability portfolio centers on independent advisory work grounded in organizational and policy analysis. Representative recent work includes a $1.3 million definitive contract from the Federal Aviation Administration (awarded December 30, 2025) for a NextGen Accountability Review mandated by Section 603 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024, a $999,997 single-source delivery order from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (June 22, 2026) for congressionally mandated analysis of a fishery disaster insurance program for seafood harvesters, and a $1.5 million definitive contract from the FAA Southwestern Region (August 8, 2024) to examine research, development, and demonstration efforts under Section 1045 of the same reauthorization act. Other recent examples include a $1.6 million Department of Defense study on missile defense roles and responsibilities (April 2022), a $999.7 thousand Department of Agriculture evaluation of the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center (September 2022), and a $997.9 thousand National Science Foundation delivery order supporting implementation of the Chips and Science Act of 2022 (October 2022). The work product is typically assessment, evaluation, strategic planning, or organizational redesign analysis.

NAPA holds a $4 million General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contract (January 17, 2024 through January 16, 2029) under NAICS 541611 (Management and Financial Consulting), which anchors the majority of recent task-order activity. The GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 15 categories from administrative roles at $63.91/hour (high school education, one year experience) through president-level positions at $351.47/hour (master's degree, 25 years experience); median government-paid rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts run around $148.80/hour, with the 90th percentile at $177.67/hour. No security-cleared positions are offered. Across 87 task orders under the MAS vehicle, NAPA has drawn $54.8 million in combined potential value. The next-largest vehicle is a Basic Ordering Agreement with the Department of the Navy (9 task orders), followed by the Professional Services Schedule (4 task orders, $859 thousand).

Customer concentration is broad but weighted toward research and civilian-facing agencies. The top five customers by award count—NASA (27 awards), NOAA (13 awards), Department of Commerce Office of the Secretary (10 awards), National Science Foundation (10 awards), and Department of the Navy (10 awards)—account for only 20% of NAPA's 355 total awards. By potential-value concentration, however, the picture inverts: GSA Federal Acquisition Service (4 awards, $165.1 million, all driven by the MAS vehicle ceiling) dominates at 59% of combined potential value across the top five customers, followed by CDC (7 awards, $6.7 million), NOAA (13 awards, $4.7 million), Office of the Secretary of Defense (5 awards, $3.8 million), and Commerce Office of the Secretary (10 awards, $2.8 million). These five customers account for 65% of combined potential value across the portfolio.

Activity has been episodic. The source shows 7 awards in 2022, 8 in 2023, 5 in 2024, 1 in 2025, and 2 in 2026 (through July 13). Only three awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, with combined potential value of $2.9 million—a minimal recompete cliff. SCI-reported invoicing on prime contracts totaled $2.6 million in FY2022, $5.3 million in FY2023, and $1.3 million in FY2024, with corresponding FTE delivery of 9.6, 14.0, and 7.9 FTEs respectively; this is a subset of NAPA's federal services activity (SCI covers contracts above $150,000 threshold and excludes goods, classified work, and non-federal revenue) and does not represent total enterprise revenue. NAPA operates as a pure prime, with zero recorded subcontract activity across the 355-award portfolio and minimal named subcontractor engagement (4% average sub-hours share on SCI-reportable contracts, 6 named subs total). Across the award portfolio, NAPA's work concentrates in Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (155 awards by NAICS code), reflecting its congressionally chartered role as a nonpartisan advisor on federal management and public policy challenges.
