About Blue Water Thinking,Llc
Blue Water Thinking LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and minority-owned firm based in Edgewater, Maryland, operates as a prime contractor delivering specialized healthcare staffing, biomedical engineering technical support, program management, and strategic consulting services to the Department of Veterans Affairs. The vendor competes predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides across its prime footprint and holds significant positions on three major VA indefinite-delivery vehicles, with 76% of recent awards issued as prime contracts and 24% as subcontracts to larger integrators.
Blue Water Thinking's customer concentration is extreme: 30 awards (82% of the portfolio) worth $37.32 billion in combined potential value flow through the Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick, which manages the VA's national acquisition strategy. The remaining customer base includes the VA itself (11 awards, $51.5 million), the VA Technology Acquisition Center Austin (9 awards, $13.4 million), VA Headquarters (4 awards, $9.9 million), and regional Veterans Integrated Service Network offices scattered across twelve additional funding nodes. This concentration reflects Blue Water Thinking's deep positioning within VA's healthcare delivery and administrative operations.
The vendor's primary vehicles are the National Biomedical Contractor Support Services IDIQ ($200 million ceiling, 15 task orders worth $82.2 million), the Integrated Critical Staffing Program IDIQ ($23 billion ceiling, 12 task orders worth $17.3 million), the VHA Integrated Healthcare Transformation 2.0 IDIQ ($14 billion ceiling, one task order worth $10,000), and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (9 delivery orders worth $39.7 million). Representative prime work includes a $29.9 million biomedical engineering technical and professional support services delivery order under NBEAPS with labor-hour pricing through November 2027; a $6.6 million biomedical engineering personnel support delivery order under NBEAPS through May 2027; a $6.3 million urology services delivery order under ICSP through September 2026; a $5 million GAO High Risk List professional support services delivery order under the MAS through September 2028; and phlebotomy staffing at $3.7 million through June 2030 under ICSP. The majority of awards carry SDVOSB set-aside restrictions; a minority are awarded full-and-open or total-small-business set-aside.
Activity has accelerated — 10 awards in 2022, 8 in 2023, 18 in 2024, 15 in 2025, and 6 through early July 2026 — but 11 awards worth $49.8 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion dates inside the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete exposure. The vendor's award portfolio spans administrative and general management consulting (19 awards), temporary help services (13 awards), professional technical services (16 awards), and computer systems design (7 awards), with NAICS codes 541611 and PSC D399 predominating.
SCI-reported invoicing shows $45.5 million across federal service contracts in FY2023–FY2024 ($20.6 million in FY2023 and $24.9 million in FY2024), with FTE delivery scaling from 41.6 FTEs in FY2023 to 148 FTEs in FY2024 — a sharp expansion in labor-hour work. Hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts run a median of $100/hr, with rates spanning the 10th percentile at $73.53/hr and the 90th percentile at $121.85/hr, indicating a workforce mix of clinical staff, technical support, and management personnel. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for an average 17% of total contractor hours, with 22 named subs reported in the dataset; Blue Water Thinking builds most of its delivery through direct hire and staff augmentation rather than deep subcontracting partnerships.
In its subcontractor role, Blue Water Thinking provides benefits enterprise services, management consulting, strategy and technology services, file conversion services, and medical supply program support to Booz Allen Hamilton (multiple funding actions for strategy, management, and technology services), General Dynamics Information Technology (file conversion and printing/mailing services for VA benefits programs), and Deloitte Consulting (medical supply program office support). These sub relationships are recurring and appear to anchor around VA benefits, technology transformation, and supply-chain work rather than clinical staffing.
