Arbor Research, LLC

Arbor Research, LLC (doing business as Urrea), a for-profit limited-liability company based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, delivers health services research, program evaluation, data analysis, and technical support to federal health agencies as a prime contractor (90% of recent awards) under Total Small Business set-asides on vehicles ranging from GSA Schedules to single-award IDIQs. The firm operates as a subsidiary of Arbor Research Collaborative For Health, a tax-exempt parent organization, and competes predominantly under small-business set-aside designations rather than full-and-open.

Arbor Research's customer base centers on Department of Health and Human Services entities. The top five agencies account for 90% of recent awards, anchored by the GSA Federal Acquisition Service ($90 million combined potential value across two vehicles — the Multiple Award Schedule and the OASIS+ Total Small Business Set-Aside IDIQ), the HHS Office of the Inspector General ($8.7 million across two awards for medical records review services), the National Cancer Institute ($8.6 million across three awards for implementation science consortium activities and global cancer research support), the National Institutes of Health Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations ($3 million), and the HHS Health Resources and Services Administration ($666 thousand for maternal health portfolio analysis). Dollar concentration is pronounced: the GSA schedule and OASIS+ vehicle account for roughly 81% of combined potential value across the ten awards in the portfolio. Recent representative work includes a $3 million firm-fixed-price delivery order from NCI (September 2026) for product development support and program evaluation within the NHLBI Innovation and Commercialization Ecosystem; a $2.1 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from NCI (September 2024) for implementation science consortium activities and the Global Cancer Research and Control Seminar Series under a single-award small-business-set-aside IDV; a $666 thousand Total Small Business delivery order from the HHS Maternal and Child Health Bureau (September 2026) for maternal health portfolio landscape and performance review under the Multiple Award Schedule; and a $363 thousand labor-hours BPA call from HHS Office of the Inspector General (June 2026) for medical records review services and clinical consultation.

Arbor Research's primary vehicle holdings include a $90 million GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract (July 2024 through July 2029) offering 106 labor categories spanning chronic disease, health policy, infectious disease, health information technology, and value-based purchasing, with hourly rates ranging from $97.71 to $413.60 and no security-cleared roles; a single-award $6.5 million NCI Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (September 2024 through September 2029) for coordination, data analysis, and technical support services to the Center for Global Health; a single-award $8.3 million Office of the Inspector General Blanket Purchase Agreement (September 2025 through March 2031) for medical records review and consultation services; and a seat on the OASIS+ Total Small Business Set-Aside IDIQ awarded by GSA (December 2024 through December 2029) across seven functional domains (Management and Advisory, Technical and Engineering, Research and Development, Intelligence Services, Environmental Services, Facilities, and Logistics), with a five-year base period and one five-year option. No recent task orders under OASIS+ are reported in the source.

Activity trajectory shows concentration in FY2024, with five awards, followed by one award in FY2025 and three in FY2026; only two awards ($1 million combined potential value) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure. On the subcontracting side, Arbor Research engaged Synergy Enterprises, Inc., a minority-owned, woman-owned small business, to deliver conference management and program coordination support on both NCI delivery orders. Arbor Research also serves as a subcontractor to RAND on a FEMA COVID-19 public assistance technical assistance task, providing subject-matter expert review of project cost allowability and healthcare policy guidance with hourly rates ranging from $59.44 to $324.23 per hour. SCI-reported invoiced revenue on prime contracts totaled $367 thousand in FY2025 (1.4 FTEs), with government-paid hourly rates on prime work running a median of $85.76 per hour and a 90th percentile of $116.10 per hour — substantially below the senior specialist bands on the GSA Schedule. Arbor Research reports two named subcontractors across prime contracts and maintains office locations in Ann Arbor, Michigan and Fairfax, Virginia.
