About the company
Blue Water Thinking LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and minority-owned limited liability company headquartered in Edgewater, Maryland, delivers specialized healthcare staffing, biomedical engineering technical support, program management, and strategic consulting services to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor on 79% of recent awards, with complementary subcontractor engagements under major defense and consulting firms.
Blue Water Thinking competes predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides across its prime footprint; roughly 70% of named prime delivery orders carry SDVOSB designation, with the balance distributed across total small business, no set-aside, and sole-source SDVOSB awards. The vendor holds two recently awarded government-wide vehicles: the OASIS+ Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business IDIQ (GSA Federal Acquisition Service, awarded July 2026, through September 2034) and the OASIS+ Total Small Business Set-Aside IDIQ (GSA FAS, July 2026, through December 2034), both with no specified dollar ceilings. These complement Blue Water Thinking's deep positioning within VA-specific vehicles: the $23 billion Integrated Critical Staffing Program (ICSP, awarded January 2024), the $14 billion VHA Integrated Healthcare Transformation 2.0 IDIQ (awarded August 2025), the $200 million National Biomedical Contractor Support Services IDIQ, and positions on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule.
Customer concentration is extreme: 79% of awards flow to the Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick alone, which accounts for $37.4 billion of the vendor's $37.52 billion combined potential value across all awards. The remaining VA sub-offices (Technology Acquisition Center Austin, VA Headquarters, and individual Veterans Integrated Service Networks) account for the balance; no non-VA agency appears in the top five. Recent representative prime delivery orders include a $63.5 million firm fixed-price order from VA SAC Frederick for VHA HEFP SEP engineering program support under IHT 2.0 (completion August 5, 2031), a $6.8 million SDVOSB order from VISN 8 for general dentist and dental assistant services under ICSP (completion September 27, 2031), and a $6.3 million SDVOSB order from VISN 5 for urology services under ICSP (completion September 30, 2026). The vendor also holds a $9.4 million firm fixed-price delivery order from VA Technology Acquisition Center for heating, testing, and maintenance, asset management, and facilities management analysis support under the Multiple Award Schedule (completion September 26, 2025).
The bulk of Blue Water Thinking's work is ordered under three vehicles: the National Biomedical Contractor Support Services IDIQ (17 task orders, $83.2 million potential value), the Integrated Critical Staffing Program (17 task orders, $34.9 million), and the Multiple Award Schedule (9 task orders, $39.7 million), with seven additional orders under IHT 2.0 carrying $81.8 million. Work spans administrative management consulting (25 awards), temporary help services (18 awards), and all other professional technical services (18 awards), with labor-hour and firm fixed-price pricing structures predominant. Sixteen awards (combined potential value $75.1 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing the vendor to near-term recompete activity.
Activity growth has accelerated: ten prime awards in 2022, nine in 2023, eighteen in 2024, fifteen in 2025, and twenty-one in 2026 year-to-date through late September. SCI-reported invoiced revenue on prime contracts reached $35.4 million in FY2025 across 124 full-time equivalents, up from $24.9 million in FY2024 across 148 FTEs. Median government-paid rates on labor-hour work run approximately $100/hr, with 10th percentile rates at $73.53/hr and 90th percentile rates at $121.85/hr, consistent with mid-level clinical and technical staffing billings. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for roughly 12% of total contractor hours; the vendor maintains a roster of 22 named subs but primarily self-performs delivery.
Blue Water Thinking operates as a subcontractor to Booz Allen Hamilton (recurring funding actions for strategy and technology services, multiple awards 2023–2026), General Dynamics Information Technology (file conversion services and VBA Office of Business & Integration printing and mailing services, 2023–2025), and Deloitte Consulting (medical supply program support, January 2026). These subcontract engagements are secondary to the vendor's dominant prime-contractor posture within the VA ecosystem. The vendor's federal footprint is monolithic — the VA represents 100% of named customer agencies — making competitive positioning, teaming strategy, and M&A interest heavily contingent on VA acquisition volume, SDVOSB set-aside policy, and the vendor's ability to scale staffing delivery across the ICSP and IHT 2.0 IDIQs.
