The Mount Vernon Ladies' Association Of The Union

The Mount Vernon Ladies' Association of the Union, doing business as George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate, Museum & Gardens, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Alexandria, Virginia, that delivers leadership development training, executive seminars, and historical education programming to federal agencies as a prime contractor. The organization operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) on small-dollar purchase orders ranging from $7,500 to $76,704, competing full-and-open without set-aside designations.

Mount Vernon's federal footprint centers on professional development and leadership training rooted in George Washington's life and early American history. Recent representative work includes a $76,704 purchase order from Immigration and Customs Enforcement for executive leadership training under the High Potential Executive Leadership Program (April 2025), a $29,185 purchase order from the Department of Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary for participation in the George Washington Leadership Institute program (February 2026), a $27,000 purchase order from the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency for a professional development event (August 2023), and a $15,000 purchase order from the State Department's Foreign Service Institute for a George Washington Mount Vernon event (February 2024). All contracts are firm fixed-price purchase orders with no subcontractor involvement.

Customer concentration is moderate and split between two distinct agency groupings. The FBI Headquarters Division dominates by award count (15 awards, $122,000 combined potential value), followed by the Office of Personnel Management (7 awards, $89,000), and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (3 awards, $101,000). The same four agencies plus the State Department's Foreign Service Institute account for 74% of awards and combined potential value. The top-customers-by-award-count and top-customers-by-potential-value rankings diverge slightly — ICE ranks third by dollars but fourth by volume — reflecting variation in per-award magnitude across customer agencies.

Mount Vernon's award activity spans 39 total contracts since 2004, with recent-year volume ranging between one and four awards annually (one in 2025, four in 2024, two in 2023). Combined potential value across the footprint stands at $513,000, with $450,000 obligated (88% of potential). The organization operates across two primary NAICS categories: Professional and Management Development Training (16 awards) and Historical Sites (13 awards), with work also spanning Educational Support Services, conference-space rental, and floriculture production at the Mount Vernon grounds. The organization does not sit on GWACs, IDIQs, or agency-wide vehicles; all awards are direct purchase orders.
