Practising Law Institute

Practising Law Institute, a tax-exempt non-profit legal education organization headquartered in New York, delivers continuing legal education and professional training services to federal regulatory and financial agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), competing exclusively on full-and-open, non-set-aside procurements. PLI has held federal awards continuously since 2004, with a recent footprint spanning 75 prime contracts across fifteen customer agencies and a combined potential value of $10.6 million.

PLI's customer base concentrates heavily on financial and regulatory agencies. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 60% of awards, anchored by the Securities and Exchange Commission (16 awards, $6 million combined potential value), Federal Communications Commission (8 awards, $659 thousand), and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (8 awards, $1.5 million). The potential-value ranking aligns closely: the SEC dominates both volume and dollars, followed by CFPB, CFTC, FCC, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Representative prime work includes a $1.49 million SEC definitive contract awarded October 2024 for an enterprise license covering live and on-demand legal, regulatory, and compliance conference training through March 2030; a $355 thousand purchase order from the Executive Office for Immigration Review awarded May 2024 for on-demand and live webcast continuing legal education training through April 2029; and a $304 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission awarded January 2026 for commercial off-the-shelf legal education services focused on financial markets, extending through January 2031. PLI also holds two active indefinite delivery contracts with the SEC (SECHQ114D0024, 5 task orders / $982 thousand) and a separate SEC IDC (50310219D0026, 5 task orders / $1.2 million).

Activity has remained flat year over year — four awards annually in 2021, 2022, and 2023, rising to five in 2024 — with minimal recompete exposure: only two awards (combined potential value $222 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. PLI's service portfolio spans professional and management development training (25 awards), educational support services (21 awards), and digital resource platforms delivered through live webinars, on-demand courses, and enterprise membership access. The organization's capability footprint centers on securities laws, financial regulatory compliance, administrative law, professional ethics, and consumer protection training tailored to specialized federal audiences.
