Partnership For Public Service Inc.

Partnership For Public Service Inc., doing business as Partnership For Public Service, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C. that delivers leadership development training, professional development programs, and organizational consulting services to federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor exclusively—it holds no subcontract positions across its federal portfolio. The organization competes full-and-open across all award types with no set-aside designations and operates at scale across the federal government, with 841 total awards valued at $80.5 million in combined potential value and $37.1 million in combined obligations over its recent award history.

Partnership For Public Service's capability footprint centers on federal workforce development through concrete service delivery: the Excellence in Government Fellows Program (a multi-cohort leadership development initiative for mid-career and senior executives), the Future Leaders in Public Service internship program (recruiting and placing university students in USDA and other agencies for structured workforce onboarding), customized leadership training and executive coaching for agency cohorts, team building and off-site facilitation, diversity-equity-inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) training, and strategic workforce planning support. Representative recent contracts include a $610 thousand Food and Nutrition Service delivery order through September 2026 for partnership and leadership training; a $399 thousand FDA Leadership Fellow Program delivery order issued September 2022 through September 2027 (subsequently terminated for convenience); a $342 thousand VA Veterans Health Administration delivery order for the Healthcare Leadership Talent Institute Excellence in Government Fellows Program; a $296.4 thousand Department of Commerce Leadership Development Fellowship Program delivery order through March 2024; and a $215.1 thousand Department of Labor Executive Bridges@Labor Program BPA call. Partnership For Public Service also acts as recipient of cooperative agreements—a $218.75 thousand USDA Office of the Secretary grant to establish the Future Leaders in Public Service Internship Program focused on tribal agriculture and food, continued through September 2025.

Customer concentration is distributed across 214 distinct agencies. The top five customer agencies by combined potential value (Department of Labor's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management, Federal Trade Commission, Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick, International Development Finance Corporation, and Department of Education's Office of Management) account for 32% of combined potential value. By award count, the top five (Department of Labor OASAM, Treasury Departmental Offices, Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary, Treasury Bureau of the Fiscal Service, and Education's Office of the Chief Financial Officer) represent 15% of awards. The distribution reflects Partnership For Public Service's civilian-only footprint with no Department of Defense prime awards; the organization's federal customer base is predominantly civilian agencies across Treasury, Transportation, Labor, Education, State, Veterans Affairs, Commerce, Interior, Agriculture, and independent agencies.

Partnership For Public Service operates primarily through the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule (MAS)—247 task orders valued at $42.1 million combined potential value—and maintains four single-award Blanket Purchase Agreements as prime contractor: a $7.5 million BPA with the Export-Import Bank through April 2028 for educational and team building services; a $2 million BPA with the International Development Finance Corporation through April 2028 for leadership training; a $1.5 million BPA with Air Education and Training Command through December 2029 for professional and management development training in support of the Air Force Personnel Center; and a $637 thousand multiple-award BPA with the National Institutes of Health through March 2025 for the NIH Executive Leadership Program. The organization also holds The Professional Services Schedule with 26 task orders valued at $3.4 million.

Activity trajectory shows volatility: 51 awards in 2022, growth to 80 awards in 2023, contraction to 64 awards in 2024, and only 2 awards recorded in 2025 and 2 in 2026 to date. Six awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $1.5 million and represent recompete exposure for the organization.

Across SCI-reportable prime contracts (a subset excluding micro-purchases, goods, and contracts below the $150 thousand threshold), Partnership For Public Service invoiced $594 thousand in FY2023 and $1.2 million in FY2024 against federal service contracts, deploying roughly 0.9–1.0 FTEs in FY2023–FY2024. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $248.22/hr to a median of $708.53/hr and a 90th percentile of $1,439.42/hr, reflecting senior facilitator and principal-level resource delivery. The organization carries no subcontractor engagement on SCI records; all delivery is proprietary. GSA Schedule labor categories span 17 roles from Junior Associate at $30.39/hr (high school education, no experience, no clearance) through Principal at $361.03/hr (Master's degree, 17 years experience); the portfolio reflects civilian government training and consulting work with no cleared or defense-oriented labor posture.

Partnership For Public Service operates as a nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to attracting, developing, and supporting federal talent and improving government effectiveness through specialized executive and professional development. The organization competes exclusively as a prime—never as a subcontractor—and maintains a pure civilian federal customer base with no defense primes or classified work in its footprint.
