Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
The prior award history indicates a confirmed incumbent for closely related work: the Commission On Accreditation Of Rehabilitation Facilities received multiple Rehabilitation Program accreditation services awards under 36C10G21D0014 and related contract modifications, including a $13,379,899 award (02/01/21–09/30/25) and subsequent tasking valued at $4,058,127 (02/01/23–09/30/25), among others.
