September 2018 (Washington, D.C.) – Summit Consulting (Summit) is proud to announce our latest win: a five-year blanket purchase agreement to conduct program evaluation services for the Small Business Administration Office of Performance Management (SBA OPM). This contract will allow Summit to support SBA in its goal of becoming a more effective and efficient organization.
According to its Mission Statement, the Office of Performance Management promotes “operational effectiveness, accountability, and transparency within the SBA by developing, coordinating, and strengthening Agency efforts to be an outcome-oriented, customer-focused, employee-enabled, and transparent organization."
This BPA builds on Summit’s existing work with the SBA Office of Financial Analysis and Modeling and Office of Credit Risk Management. It also leverages Summit’s program evaluation specialists and research analysts within the Health and Employment directorate.
“We are eager to support the SBA in this new capacity and use our program evaluation skill set to help the Agency examine the effectiveness of its programs by using rigorous quantitative methods,“ said Summit’s Health and Employment Director, Dr. Oswaldo Urdapilleta.
Summit joins four other research and evaluation organizations—Insight Policy Research, Optimal Solutions, SP Group, and 2M Research—as SBA OPM BPA awardees.
