Apprise Inc.

Apprise Inc., a nonprofit research institute based in Princeton, New Jersey, delivers program management, data analysis, and technical assistance for federal social welfare and community assistance initiatives as a prime contractor on GSA schedules and direct agency awards. The organization operates predominantly as a prime (95% of recent awards) in the full-and-open competitive space with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

Apprise's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of Health and Human Services. HHS accounts for 16 of 18 awards (82% coverage) with combined potential value of $517.7 million, dominated by the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration at $507.2 million across 12 awards. The Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources anchors a $10.7 million delivery order issued September 3, 2026, for Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) support services through March 2, 2030, under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule; the Administration for Children and Families fields two additional awards totaling $2.6 million for LIHEAP support. The National Institutes of Health National Heart Lung and Blood Institute represents $7.9 million across two awards. Outside HHS, Apprise holds a $2 million GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (MAS 47QRAA25D004K, awarded January 28, 2025, through January 2030) and serves a single subcontractor role under Guidehouse Inc. on grant management and IT support services for HHS GrantSolutions.

Apprise's capability portfolio, grounded in recent awards, centers on LIHEAP program delivery, financial aid distribution, performance management, technical assistance, and federal social program support. The September 2025 LIHEAP delivery order (ceiling $2.6 million, ultimate completion September 2026) under ACF includes subcontractors Z, Inc. (energy market analysis and data collection), Lux Consulting Group Inc., an HUBZone-certified small disadvantaged business (tribal data review and quarterly reporting), and The National Center For Appropriate Technology Inc. (NEAR Phone Hotline and Interactive Voice Response support). The most recent award, issued September 2026, caps a $10.7 million LIHEAP order running through 2030 under the Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources. Apprise's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans thirteen categories from Research Assistant I at $41.07 per hour through Senior Executive roles at $257.65 per hour, with education requirements ranging from bachelor's to doctorate and no security-clearance restrictions. The schedule emphasizes management consulting, financial consulting, acquisition and grants management support, and business program and project management services on a domestic basis.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold reached $8.4 million across four fiscal years (FY2022–FY2025), with $2.5 million in FY2024 and FY2025. The SCI dataset shows roughly 4.2 to 15.2 FTEs delivered annually across SCI-reportable prime contracts, peaking at 15.2 FTEs in FY2024 and settling to 8.0 FTEs in FY2025; SCI captures only a portion of Apprise's total federal services activity. Government-paid rates on SCI-reportable contracts ran a median of $102.79 per hour, with rates spanning $79.43 per hour at the tenth percentile and $154.73 per hour at the ninety percentile. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for 13% of total contractor hours, with six named subs identified in the SCI dataset, indicating Apprise predominantly builds its own delivery teams on reportable service contracts. A $21.7 million obligation across the portfolio represents only 4% of combined potential value, reflecting the forward-looking nature of ceiling values on multi-year delivery orders and GSA schedules.
