Shontz Allison

Shontz Allison, a woman-owned small business based in South Jordan, Utah, operates as a clinical research auditing and quality assurance contractor serving exclusively the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration's Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (VA VISN 22) on a prime-only basis. The vendor is structured as a limited liability company and sole proprietorship and has held federal contracts since 2007.

Shontz Allison's entire business footprint — 42 awards totaling $15.3 million in combined potential value — is concentrated with a single customer: VA VISN 22, which accounts for 71% of awards and 99% of combined potential value at $15.1 million. This extreme customer concentration reflects a specialized capability set. The vendor delivers on-site clinical auditing, monitoring, and quality assurance services for the VA's Cooperative Studies Program clinical trials, with place of performance consistently in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Recent representative work includes a $523,214 firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded May 16, 2026, for auditing services (extending through May 15, 2027); a $502,304 purchase order for clinical research services awarded May 16, 2025; and a $796,974 delivery order for Cooperative Studies Program clinical auditing and monitoring awarded April 1, 2023. The vendor has held delivery orders under five distinct VA IDIQ vehicles, with the largest being Indefinite Delivery Contract VA258P0350 (10 task orders, $1.7 million combined potential value) and Good Clinical Practice Clinical Research Quality Assurance (6 task orders, $3.6 million combined potential value).

NAICS concentration tracks with this specialization: 29 of the 42 awards fall under Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services, with the remainder distributed across medical and health services R&D support. The vendor does not operate as a subcontractor; all 42 awards are prime contracts issued directly by VA VISN 22, and the vendor carries no named sub engagements across the award footprint.

Activity has remained flat at one award per year across 2022 through 2026. The vendor reported only one SCI-eligible service contract (above the $150,000 threshold) in the source data: $390 thousand invoiced in FY2023 across 1.4 FTEs, with no SCI-reportable invoicing in FY2024. Government-paid rates on that contract ran $135.95/hr. One award carrying $523 thousand in combined potential value reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete exposure. The vendor operates with no subcontractor engagement — 100% of work is performed in-house.
