About the company
Peterson's, LLC, doing business as Animal Behavior College, is a Denver-based for-profit educational technology company that supplies digital databases and academic training platforms to the Department of Defense and federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), competing full-and-open without set-aside designation.
Peterson's core capability centers on database licensing and online educational resources. The company's largest federal commitment is a $19.7 million definitive contract awarded by the Defense Human Resources Activity on July 30, 2021, running through June 29, 2026, to deliver a computer-adaptive, asynchronous web-based academic skills training platform serving approximately 50,000 military service members annually across basic through pre-college proficiency levels. The platform includes diagnostic assessments, individualized learning paths, instructional modules, collaboration tools, and live and remote instructor-led training options, with performance at Alexandria, Virginia. Peterson's also holds recurring purchase orders with West Point Military Academy for undergraduate and graduate database access — most recently a $48,000 firm fixed-price purchase order awarded March 3, 2026, with completion through March 2, 2029 — reflecting a sustained multi-year relationship centered on digital licensing for West Point's academic and officer development mission.
Customer concentration by award count splits across military education pipelines. The Department of the Navy Bureau of Naval Personnel leads with 23 awards ($2.1 million combined potential value), followed by West Point Military Academy with 16 awards ($249 thousand), and the Naval Education and Training Command with 12 awards ($9.1 million). However, dollar concentration diverges significantly: the Defense Human Resources Activity anchors 81% of combined potential value across the portfolio with five awards totaling $24.8 million, while the GSA Federal Acquisition Service carries a single award valued at $22 million. Peterson's portfolio spans 21 distinct customer agencies and 99 total prime awards, though activity velocity remains low — one to two awards per year since 2021.
Peterson's sits on the GSA Federal Supply Schedule GS02F0030K (26 task orders, $1.4 million combined potential value) and three indefinite delivery contracts with the Library of Congress, each routing multiple task orders. The combined potential value across all awards stands at $83.5 million, with obligated dollars at $30.1 million (36% of potential value). The award footprint clusters in information services and publishing categories — NAICS codes for "All Other Information Services" (28 awards), "Books Printing" (27 awards), and "Internet Publishing and Broadcasting and Web Search Portals" (17 awards) dominate the composition, reflecting Peterson's positioning as a digital content and training platform provider rather than traditional IT services or consulting.
