S.j. Bashen, Inc.

S.J. Bashen, Inc. (doing business as Bashen Corporation), a woman-owned, minority-owned, economically disadvantaged small business headquartered in Houston, Texas, delivers Equal Employment Opportunity investigation, compliance consulting, and human resources support services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across the full set-aside and full-and-open federal market. The company holds certifications as a self-certified small disadvantaged business, an economically disadvantaged women-owned small business (EDWOSB), and a black American-owned enterprise, and competes across both total small business set-asides and unrestricted deliveries.

Bashen's service capability spans impartial EEO complaint investigations, workplace counseling, training delivery, barrier analysis, workplace climate assessments, harassment investigations, alternative dispute resolution facilitation, and final agency decision documentation. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no subcontractor footprint and builds all delivery capability in-house. Recent concrete work includes a $400,375 firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded by the Defense Commissary Agency on October 1, 2026, for comprehensive EEO complaint analysis and documentation through September 2031; a $2.16 million delivery order from the Export-Import Bank of the United States for EEO support services through August 2030 under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule; a $1.48 million BPA call from the General Services Administration Office of Civil Rights for EEO services through September 2030; and a $4.23 million delivery order from the Department of Homeland Security Immediate Office of the Secretary for civil rights investigation and counseling services through April 2026.

Customer concentration is pronounced. Bashen serves 53 distinct federal agencies, but the Transportation Security Administration dominates both award count and dollar value, accounting for 99 awards (28% of all awards) with $33.2 million in combined potential value (30% of total portfolio). A significant second tier includes U.S. Customs and Border Protection (3 awards, $12.7 million), the GSA Federal Acquisition Service (3 awards, $10.4 million), and the Export-Import Bank of the United States (3 awards, $9.7 million). The top five customers by potential-value ranking account for 65% of combined potential value and reveal concentration in a handful of large IDVs rather than broad distribution across small task orders.

Bashen holds a substantial vehicle portfolio anchored by the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, under which 379 task orders carry $94 million in combined potential value. The vendor also maintains single- and multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreements with the Transportation Security Administration ($16 million ceiling, multiple award, awarded 2021), U.S. Customs and Border Protection ($12.2 million ceiling, multiple award, September 2024), Export-Import Bank of the United States ($7.5 million ceiling, multiple award, October 2025), General Services Administration ($8 million Federal Supply Schedule ceiling, April 2023), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ($4 million ceiling, multiple award, August 2023), Office of the Inspector General ($3.73 million ceiling, multiple award, April 2025), Department of the Treasury ($2.75 million ceiling, single award, September 2025), Department of the Interior ($1.25 million ceiling, single award woman-owned small business set-aside, November 2023), Office of Performance Management and Chief Financial Officer ($750 thousand ceiling, single award, August 2022 and $750 thousand ceiling recompete, June 2025), Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ($500 thousand ceiling, single award, November 2024), and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ($932 thousand ceiling, multiple award, March 2022). SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the reporting threshold grew from $365 thousand in FY2022 to $651 thousand in FY2024, with a small uptick to $618 thousand in FY2025. The SCI workforce trajectory shows 1.1 FTEs in FY2022 expanding to 2.8 FTEs in FY2025 across prime deliveries. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates ran around $139.94 per hour, with senior labor pricing through $158.39 per hour and entry pricing around $106.47 per hour.

Award activity accelerated from 10 awards in 2022 to 29 in 2025 but moderated to 11 awards in 2026 through early October. Seven awards (combined potential value $1.8 million) are scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete exposure. The vendor competes predominantly across total small business set-asides and EDWOSB vehicles, with a secondary position in unrestricted MAS-based deliveries. Bashen's narrow and deep service specialization in federal EEO and compliance investigations, combined with concentration at TSA and CBP, positions it as an established player in the federal EEO and workplace investigations market segment but with limited diversification across other federal service lines or customer bases.
