National Board On Fire Service Professional Qualifications Inc.

National Board On Fire Service Professional Qualifications Inc. (also known as The Pro Board), a tax-exempt non-profit organization headquartered in Quincy, Massachusetts, provides firefighter and emergency-services professional certification and accreditation services to the Department of Defense and the Department of the Army as a prime contractor competing under open, full-and-open (no set-aside) designations.

The Pro Board operates as a third-party professional validation and accreditation service, issuing virtual seals and credentials that certify fire and emergency services personnel meet national standards. Its federal work centers exclusively on accreditation of Department of Defense Fire and Emergency Services Certification Program credentials. The vendor holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the U.S. Air Force valued at $184,050, running through September 10, 2029, under which approximately 200,000 Pro Board virtual seals will be issued at roughly 40,000 seals annually. Representative delivery orders against this IDC include a $36,810 firm fixed-price order from Air Education and Training Command (awarded May 7, 2026, completing May 6, 2027) for firefighter certification credentials and annual membership services, and a prior $36,810 delivery order (August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2029) for Pro Board virtual seals and membership.

Customer concentration is extreme and stable. The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command accounts for 6 awards totaling $185 thousand in combined potential value, anchored by the $184,050 IDC. The Department of the Army Headquarters Office of the Chief of Staff holds 3 awards ($75 thousand combined), and the Department of the Army carries 1 award ($25 thousand). These four Air Force and Army offices represent 100% of the vendor's recent federal footprint. Award activity is modest and infrequent — eleven total awards across the past decade, with one award in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026. Combined potential value across all awards is $469 thousand, with $285 thousand obligated (61% of ceiling). One award with a $37 thousand potential value completes within the next twenty-four months, exposing that amount to recompete. The Pro Board operates solely as a prime contractor (100% of awards); it has no subcontract footprint. The vendor does not compete under 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or other set-aside categories.
