Social Impact Inc.
Social Impact Inc. is a global development management consulting firm that specializes in providing monitoring, evaluation, strategic planning, and capacity building services to support international development initiatives for U.S. federal agencies. As a woman-owned small business registered since 2003, Social Impact has extensive experience conducting evaluations, assessments, and analytics for federal international development programs. The company holds multiple contract vehicles with agencies such as the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), and Department of State (DOS) to deliver performance management, evaluation, and learning services globally.
Through prime federal contract awards, Social Impact has provided diverse services across multiple agencies and regions. For USAID, the company has conducted evaluations of civil society strengthening in Cambodia, delivered monitoring and learning support in Vietnam, and implemented monitoring and evaluation activities in Mali. Social Impact also holds task orders under USAID's Asia Learning and M&E Support Project to provide strategy development and MEL services across Asia. For the MCC, Social Impact has conducted independent evaluations of compact programs in countries like Niger, Senegal, and Mongolia, assessing impacts in sectors such as agriculture, electricity access, and water supply. The company has also supported DOS's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs by evaluating programs like the Academy for Women Entrepreneurs and American Spaces. Social Impact frequently utilizes subcontractors with specialized expertise or local presence to support data collection and analysis activities.
The available data does not indicate any prime federal grant awards to Social Impact Inc. However, the company has received at least one federal grant subaward from Family Health International to support USAID foreign assistance programs overseas. This suggests that while Social Impact primarily engages in federal contracting, it may occasionally participate in grant-funded activities as a subrecipient, likely providing similar monitoring, evaluation, and capacity building services to support international development initiatives.
Social Impact holds several significant federal contract IDVs that enable agencies to efficiently procure its services. The company was awarded a $99 million Blanket Purchase Agreement by the Department of Labor to provide evaluation services through 2028, issued under GSA's Multiple Award Schedule. Social Impact also holds a position on DOS's $150 million Performance Management, Evaluation, and Learning Services (PMELS) multiple-award IDIQ, through which it has received task orders to evaluate programs in South Asia. For USAID, Social Impact was awarded a $24 million single-award IDIQ to provide Evaluation, Learning, and Monitoring Initiative services in Somalia through 2029. Additionally, the company holds multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements with the MCC to conduct evaluations of international development programs, receiving several task orders for impact assessments in countries like Senegal, Mongolia, and Sierra Leone. These IDVs enable Social Impact to provide its core monitoring, evaluation, and learning services across multiple federal agencies engaged in global development efforts.

The National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago, doing business as NORC, is a non-profit research organization that provides survey research, data collection, analysis, and reporting services to federal government agencies. Founded in 1941, NORC has extensive experience supporting major federal programs such as the National Immunization Survey, Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, and National Longitudinal Surveys. As a leading social science research institution, NORC leverages its expertise in survey methodology, data science, and policy research to assist agencies in gathering insights to inform decision-making across health, education, economics, and social policy domains.
Through federal contracts, NORC has provided a wide range of research and analytical services to agencies including the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and National Institutes of Health. Key contract work includes conducting large-scale national surveys like the National Immunization Survey for CDC, providing data collection and analysis for the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project for AHRQ, and supporting evaluation of programs like the Medicare-Medicaid Financial Alignment Initiative for CMS. NORC frequently serves as the prime contractor on these efforts, often partnering with subcontractors like ICF, AcademyHealth, and Stratis Health to provide specialized expertise. The contracts are typically not set aside for small businesses, as NORC competes as a large non-profit organization.
NORC's federal grant work spans similar domains of health, education, and social policy research. Through NIH grants, NORC has conducted studies on topics like Alzheimer's disease prevalence, cognitive aging, and chronic pain in older adults. NSF grants have supported NORC's work on STEM education, including research on career trajectories of marginalized groups in STEM doctoral programs. NORC also receives DOJ grants for criminal justice research, such as studies on anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes and human trafficking. As both a prime recipient and subrecipient, NORC collaborates with university partners like the University of Michigan, University of California Irvine, and University of Maryland on many of these grant-funded research projects.
NORC holds several major indefinite delivery vehicles (IDVs) that provide agencies streamlined access to its research services. This includes a $900 million single-award IDC with the DOE Energy Information Administration for comprehensive survey and analytical support. NORC also has a $310 million single-award IDC with CDC to conduct the National Immunization Survey through 2029. Other IDVs include a $75 million multiple-award contract with HHS Administration for Community Living for aging and disability research, and a $33 million contract with the Department of Labor for the National Longitudinal Surveys program. These vehicles allow agencies to issue task orders to NORC for a wide range of data collection, analysis, and research support activities.
