About the company
BLN Fors Marsh JV LLC, an SBA 8(a) certified joint venture based in McLean, Virginia, delivers market research, customer experience surveying, communications strategy, and paid advertising services to civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor across GSA Schedules, agency IDIQs, and blanket purchase agreements. The vendor is minority-owned and self-certified as a small disadvantaged business; it is structured as a limited liability company joint venture with BLN LLC as its parent entity.
The vendor's customer base concentrates heavily on HHS and Treasury programs. HHS Administration for Community Living anchors the portfolio with a $75 million IDIQ (partial small business set-aside, awarded January 2024, through January 2029) plus a $27.6 million time-and-materials delivery order for infectious disease communications support extending through September 2029 — together representing about $103 million in combined potential value across two awards. The Internal Revenue Service contributes $45.7 million across four awards, including a $22.1 million multiple-award customer experience research BPA (awarded April 2026, through September 2031) and three BPA calls ($1.5 million, $54 thousand, and $171 thousand) under the parent IRS vehicle. The Federal Trade Commission places five task orders valued at $5 million under its $4.5 million marketing communication services BPA (awarded September 2024, single-award through August 2027). GSA Federal Acquisition Service, CDC Pittsburgh, USPTO, and the US Election Assistance Commission round out a nine-agency customer set that accounts for 79% of recent awards by count and 98% of combined potential value. These five top customers represent $159 million in combined potential value across 19 awards.
BLN Fors Marsh sits on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (16 task orders, $58.4 million combined potential value) as its primary ordering vehicle, with a 67-labor-category portfolio spanning entry-level data entry at $37.86 per hour through senior consultants at $298.98 per hour. Mid-tier capability includes researchers at $153.98 per hour and program managers at $196.03 per hour; no security-cleared positions are offered. The vendor also holds membership on OASIS+ 8(a) (competitive 8(a) IDIQ, awarded January 2026 by GSA Federal Acquisition Service, through January 2031) and carries primary IDIQs from HHS Administration for Community Living ($75 million) and the IRS ($22.1 million). Concrete capability work spans survey design and data collection for taxpayer and voter satisfaction initiatives, focus group recruitment and analysis, paid media buying, language resource translation, and communications support for public health campaigns — representative examples include the Screen for Life colorectal cancer campaign ($2.9 million CDC delivery order, May 2026 through May 2030), Generation Z retirement savings focus group logistics ($97 thousand), and comprehensive infectious disease communications strategy ($27.6 million HHS time-and-materials order).
Recent activity trends upward: eight awards in 2024, two in 2025, and nine in 2026 through early October. Only $599 thousand in combined potential value faces completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. Service Contract Inventory data show SCI-reportable invoiced revenue of $822 thousand in FY2024 across 1.6 FTEs, growing to $4.1 million in FY2025 across 13 FTEs, reflecting the ramp on the large HHS communications contract. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor subcontracts an average of 40% of contractor hours to three named subcontractors, indicating a mixed prime-delivery and subcontracting model on larger service engagements. Government-paid hourly rates on these contracts span $44.59 per hour at the 10th percentile to $1,138.50 per hour at the 90th percentile, with a median rate of $561.13 per hour, suggesting senior-heavy labor deployment on higher-value contracts. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) and carries no sub-award position in the source data, positioning it as an independent prime with flexible teaming capacity through named subcontractors rather than as a feeder to larger integrators.
