Springfield College

Springfield College is a private, non-profit educational institution located in Springfield, Massachusetts, that has maintained federal vendor registration since 2001. The college provides tuition, fees, and educational services to the federal government through both contract vehicles and grant programs. As a tax-exempt corporate entity, Springfield College supports federal agencies through continuing education and training initiatives, research programs, and community service activities, leveraging its academic expertise and institutional resources to advance federal government objectives in education, healthcare, and public health.

Through federal contract awards, Springfield College Health Center, a subsidiary of Springfield College, has exclusively provided tuition and fees for continuing education and training programs to the Department of the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. Between September 2022 and January 2024, the college received five separate firm fixed-price delivery orders totaling approximately $56,000 for educational services delivered on the Springfield College campus. These delivery orders, valued individually between $5,690 and $15,072.30, supported military medical professional training and development. All contract awards were issued without set-aside designations and represent task orders placed under the college's Basic Ordering Agreement with the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. The persistent utilization of delivery orders by the Navy suggests Springfield College Health Center has established itself as a reliable educational service provider for military medical education initiatives.

Springfield College has received multiple federal grants reflecting the institution's involvement in research, workforce development, and community service programs across diverse focus areas. The college serves as a prime grantee under the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, which awarded a $364,183 project grant beginning October 2025 to support the Master's Program in Rehabilitation Counseling, preparing professionals to serve individuals with disabilities. Additionally, Springfield College holds cooperative agreements with the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control for research on intrinsic foot muscle strengthening interventions and fall risk reduction in adults over 65, and previously received cooperative agreement funding from the Administration on Aging for the Stay Active and Independent for Life program through April 2024. As a sub-grantee, the college has participated in AmeriCorps initiatives through Massachusetts Service Alliance, Inc., deploying AmeriCorps members in mentoring and coaching capacities in Springfield and Worcester public school districts to reduce chronic absenteeism and improve student outcomes. The college also received COVID-19 relief funding through sub-awards from the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, and participated in a cardiac rehabilitation research project sub-awarded by Baystate Medical Center, Inc., focusing on exercise prescription optimization for older adults with heart disease.

Springfield College maintains a single Basic Ordering Agreement with the Department of the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, established on September 8, 2022, with a completion date of September 8, 2032. This BOA, designated as Springfield College ESA, carries a ceiling value of $0.00 and uses no set-aside designation, functioning as a framework agreement through which the Navy can issue delivery orders for educational services. The ten-year agreement structure has proven instrumental in facilitating the multiple tuition and fees delivery orders the college has received, enabling the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery to efficiently procure continuing education and training services for military medical professionals without requiring full and open competition for each individual order.
