National Contract Management Association

National Contract Management Association (doing business as Ncma), a nonprofit professional membership organization headquartered in Reston, Virginia, sells organizational memberships, conference registrations, training subscriptions, and educational resources to federal agencies as a prime contractor under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations. Ncma competes exclusively in unrestricted procurements and does not pursue 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or other SBA set-aside categories.

Ncma's federal footprint is concentrated in membership and professional development services delivered to acquisition and contract management personnel across the civilian and defense establishment. The vendor operates 100% as a prime contractor with no subcontract activity. Representative work includes a $2.5 million five-year definitive contract with GSA's Office of Governmentwide Policy (awarded May 2026) for NCMA membership subscriptions for GSA personnel through May 2031; a $235 thousand purchase order from the Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources (September 2026) for organizational and training subscriptions through September 2027; a $192 thousand purchase order from the VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick (January 2024) for NCMA memberships January through September 2024; and a $176 thousand purchase order from the Defense Contract Management Agency (July 2023) for registration fees for in-person and virtual attendance at the 2023 World Congress. Ncma's annual World Congress conference generates substantial transactional volume — the July 2024 and July 2023 events alone generated roughly 35 separate purchase orders from civilian and defense agencies totaling approximately $1.1 million combined.

Customer concentration is diffuse across 86 distinct agencies but anchored by five primary customers accounting for 62% of combined potential value. GSA's Office of Governmentwide Policy leads on dollar basis with $2.6 million across six awards. The Department of Veterans Affairs splits across multiple acquisition centers — Headquarters with $1.5 million (18 awards) and Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick with $1.1 million (16 awards) — making VA the single largest agency customer by award count and second-largest by dollars. The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration places 33 awards worth $830 thousand, reflecting recurring annual membership renewals. The Defense Contract Management Agency contributes six awards valued at $783 thousand, primarily for World Congress registration fees. Across the portfolio, NOAA, VA Headquarters, and VA Frederick each show a pattern of recurring annual organizational memberships at relatively consistent unit values, signaling predictable renewal cycles.

Award activity has grown from an average of four per year in 2022 to a peak of 32 in 2023, declining to 25 in 2024 and dropping to four in 2025 (likely reflecting data-collection lag in the source). Through September 2026, the vendor holds 11 active awards in the current fiscal year. Over the past five years, Ncma has secured 344 total awards with a combined potential value of $11.1 million and $9 million in obligated dollars (81% execution rate). Six awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry a combined potential value of $452 thousand, representing modest recompete exposure concentrated in near-term membership renewals with recurring customers. The vendor's NAICS and PSC profile is heavily concentrated in professional and management development training (209 awards) and professional organizations (56 awards), with the plurality of work (149 awards) coded to Education/Training PSC 6620 (tuition, registration, and membership fees). Ncma does not operate as a subcontractor on federal programs and does not partner with larger primes; all federal revenue flows directly from customer agencies purchasing NCMA's proprietary memberships, events, and training products.
