Betah Associates, Inc.

Betah Associates, Inc., a woman-owned, minority-owned small business headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland, operates as a prime contractor delivering administrative support, communications, peer review, and event logistics services across civilian federal agencies under GSA Multiple Award Schedule and indefinite delivery vehicles. The company is a Subchapter S corporation and holds certifications as a minority-owned business and woman-owned small business; it competes across a mix of set-aside categories (woman-owned small business, total small business) and full-and-open vehicles, with roughly one-third of recent awards designated under set-asides.

Betah's customer base is heavily concentrated in two agencies by potential value: the Department of Health and Human Services, through the Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations, accounts for $3.18 billion in combined potential value across 15 awards, anchored by three massive indefinite delivery vehicles ($1 billion Public Information and Communications Services III, $100 million NIHCATS IV Conference and Administrative Travel Services, and $150 million Long-Term Administrative Support Contract III); the Department of Justice, through multiple components, brings $238.7 million across 43 awards split among the Office of Audit Assessment and Management ($114.6 million), OA Acquisitions ($79.1 million), and the National Institute of Justice ($45 million). By award count, the top five customers represent 35% of awards, but the dollar concentration is far steeper—HHS and DOJ together represent 88% of combined potential value. This extreme concentration reflects Betah's strategy of holding large, single-award IDVs with HHS and sustaining a deep portfolio of peer-review and support-services task orders under DOJ components.

Capability framing derives from Betah's active awards and GSA labor portfolio. The company delivers administrative support services (executive assistance, travel coordination, event planning, conference logistics); peer review support (grant evaluation, technical assessment, program evaluation across DOJ justice institutes); communications and marketing (public relations, technical writing, graphic design, marketing campaign management); and program support (administrative management consulting, program administration, logistics coordination). Representative concrete work includes a $1 billion PICS III indefinite delivery contract with HHS for comprehensive communications support; a $8.02 million delivery order with HHS Administration for Community Living for Office of External Affairs communications support through 2029; a $34.2 million delivery order with the Office on Violence Against Women for FY 2026 pre-application webinars and peer reviews through 2030; a $5.42 million woman-owned small business set-aside BPA call with the Bureau of Justice Assistance for peer review support services extending to May 2026; and a $20.2 million single-award Research and Evaluation Technical Assistance BPA with the National Institute of Justice for research support, evaluation, and technical assistance through June 2029. On the Treasury side, Betah executes a $9.99 million woman-owned small business set-aside BPA through August 2026 for Treasury Administrative Support Services, from which it has issued multiple task orders ranging from under $10 thousand to over $500 thousand for conference management, exercise planning, and administrative assistance.

Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts (those above the $150,000 threshold), Betah reported $44.5 million in invoiced revenue from FY2022 through FY2024: $14.6 million in FY2022 across 46.7 contract-level FTEs, $14.7 million in FY2023 across 48.3 FTEs, and $15.2 million in FY2024 across 47.6 FTEs. The fiscal-year FTE data (27.7 in FY2022, 33.8 in FY2023, 33.9 in FY2024) shows employee engagement roughly doubling year-over-year from FY2022 to FY2023, then holding steady. Government-paid hourly rates on these contracts run a median of $129.41 per hour, with a 10th percentile around $105.84 and a 90th percentile around $204.08, reflecting a portfolio spanning entry-level administrative roles through senior management and specialized consulting. SCI data shows Betah subcontracts an average of 18% of labor hours across its prime contracts to a named population of 59 subcontractors, indicating a largely self-performed delivery model with selective sub engagement for specialized skill sets. The GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 37 active categories, ranging from $53.95 per hour (Production Coordinator, bachelor's degree, no clearance) through $462.47 per hour (Consultant V, PhD, 15 years' experience, no clearance). No security-cleared roles are offered on the schedule.

Vehicle position is heavily GSA-centric. The Multiple Award Schedule anchors 242 task orders valued at $427.6 million combined potential value, making it Betah's primary procurement vehicle. Beyond MAS, Betah holds the three HHS indefinite delivery vehicles noted above, which together comprise most of the $3.18 billion HHS concentration. An $85 million single-award BPA for HRSA-wide marketing campaign services (through March 2029) and a $75 million multiple-award IDIQ with the Administration for Community Living (through January 2029) round out the major HHS vehicles. On the DOJ side, a $20.2 million NIJ-RETA Research and Evaluation Technical Assistance BPA is the centerpiece, supplemented by dozens of smaller peer-review and program-support BPA calls under the MAS umbrella across NIJ, Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, Office for Victims of Crime, and related components.

Activity has accelerated substantially: 17 awards in FY2022, 24 in FY2023, 43 in FY2024, declining to 11 through the first quarter of FY2025 and 7 so far in FY2026 (as of May 2026). The recompete cliff shows 14 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carrying combined potential value of $14 million—a modest recompete exposure relative to the $3.93 billion combined potential value across all awards, reflecting the long-duration nature of Betah's major IDVs. The largest three HHS vehicles (totaling $1.25 billion) do not face recompete until 2027–2029. Category concentration spans Advertising Agencies (153 awards), Office Administrative Services (77 awards), Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (49 awards), and Public Relations Agencies (34 awards), with supporting work under Word Processing/Typing and Photo/Map/Print/Publication categories, underscoring a professional services and communications profile rather than technical or specialized IT delivery.

Betah operates as a prime on all but one of its 412 total awards, with a single subcontract relationship to Research Triangle Institute for small-area estimation and geospatial analysis under an Older Americans Act program. The company does not appear in the source as a significant subcontractor to other primes; rather, it uses subcontractors to fill specialized gaps within its own delivery teams. The vendor's federal contracting registration dates to October 2001, indicating over two decades of continuous relationship with civilian agencies, particularly HHS and DOJ.
