Asrt, Inc.

Asrt, Inc., headquartered in Smyrna, Georgia, is an 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business that delivers scientific, technical, laboratory, and administrative support services to the federal government predominantly as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards), with nearly all work concentrated in CDC public health programs. The firm is minority-owned and Black American-owned, structured as a for-profit corporate entity, and competes almost exclusively under 8(a) sole-source set-asides on its core CDC work.

Asrt's customer footprint is heavily concentrated with a single agency. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention accounts for 92 of 95 recent awards (97% by count) and $137.1 million of $182 million combined potential value across the portfolio (75% by dollars). The remaining four awards split among GSA Federal Acquisition Service ($40 million Federal Supply Schedule ceiling awarded November 2024), the National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities ($4.9 million), and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ($3 thousand IDIQ for antimicrobial activity assessments). This concentration reflects Asrt's specialization: the firm's capability portfolio centers on disease surveillance support, laboratory services, epidemiology and biorepository staffing, data analytics and visualization, bioinformatics, GIS research, SharePoint application development, and general administrative and programmatic support aligned with CDC divisions including DCLSR (Division of Centralized Laboratory and Surveillance Resources), MVPDB (Meningitis and Vaccine Preventable Diseases Branch), NCIPC (National Center for Injury Prevention and Control), and the Office of Readiness and Response. Representative work includes a $4.5 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract for scientific and technical support for DCLSR laboratory services (awarded February 2025, performance through February 2028), a $3.9 million biorepository services support contract (awarded August 2024, firm fixed price, through August 2029), a $4.7 million labor-hours contract for scientific and technical support for DCLSR (awarded April 2024, through October 2026), and a $3.6 million epidemiology and business management support contract for WPDB (awarded August 2022, through February 2026).

Asrt operates on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule with a $40 million ceiling through November 2029, holding 65 labor categories spanning epidemiology, bioinformatics, biology, chemistry, public health, data analysis, and project management. Schedule rates range from $52.31 per hour for entry-level program analysts (associate degree, no experience) to $303.90 per hour for senior subject matter experts (doctorate, twelve years of experience); all categories require no security clearance. This labor portfolio reflects the firm's CDC-facing discipline mix and enables broader federal positioning beyond CDC's direct sole-source awards.

Activity has decelerated sharply. Asrt received 20 awards in 2022, declining to 18 in 2023, 13 in 2024, and 1 in 2025, with only 2 awards recorded in 2026 through late September. Nine awards with combined potential value of $26.2 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure. Service Contract Inventory data captured 149 SCI-reportable records across FY2022–FY2025, documenting $76.7 million in prime invoiced revenue: FY2022 $15.9 million across 95.8 FTEs, FY2023 $24 million across 123 FTEs, FY2024 $21.1 million across 123 FTEs, and FY2025 $15.6 million across 91.7 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on prime SCI contracts ran a median of $85.19 per hour, with a 10th percentile at $63.60 per hour and 90th percentile at $135.30 per hour, reflecting a mix of entry-level analysts and senior subject matter experts across CDC's public health divisions. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Asrt self-performed all reported hours with zero subcontractor engagement, building its own delivery teams rather than relying on subs. The firm holds two sub awards, both as a subcontractor to Booz Allen Hamilton: a PulseNet modernization update engagement (awarded January 2023). Asrt operates 100% as a prime across the CDC sole-source landscape, with the GSA Schedule and NIAID IDIQ representing marginal revenue vehicles relative to the CDC concentration. Nine awards expiring within twenty-four months represent significant recompete pressure in an environment where activity has already contracted year over year.
