Brown & Co Certified Public Accountants & Management Consultants PLLC

Brown & Co Certified Public Accountants & Management Consultants PLLC, doing business as Brown & Co CPAs, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and Black American-owned limited liability company providing federal financial auditing, compliance reviews, and management consulting services as a prime contractor across 84 civilian federal agencies. The firm operates exclusively on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and related blanket purchase agreements, holding a multi-billion-dollar OASIS+ Total Small Business Set-Aside indefinite delivery contract awarded in December 2024, positioning it to compete governmentwide across seven functional domains including Management and Advisory, Technical and Engineering, Research and Development, and Environmental Services.

Brown & Co, headquartered in Greenbelt, Maryland, derives its federal footprint from financial statement auditing work under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competition on the MAS. The vendor competes predominantly under set-asides — the majority of its recent awards carry Total Small Business designations, reflecting its core profile. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 32 percent of recent activity: the Department of the Treasury Bureau of the Fiscal Service leads with 54 awards and $23.9 million combined potential value; the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions follow with 37 awards; the US Office of Government Ethics, Armed Forces Retirement Home, and Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board round out the top five. Customer concentration by potential value diverges slightly — the Department of Veterans Affairs Headquarters and Department of Energy rank higher by dollar magnitude than by award count, driven by larger single delivery orders. Across all 475 awards in the source data spanning back to 1989, Brown & Co's combined potential value reaches $238.3 million, with $86.1 million obligated to date.

The firm's capability portfolio centers on federal financial auditing, with secondary strengths in FISMA IT security compliance reviews, performance audits, and management consulting. Representative work includes a $727,148.55 financial statement audit delivery order with the International Trade Commission (April 2026), a $518,261.36 financial statement audit for the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency extending through January 2030, a $286,603.96 FISMA IT audit engagement with the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency, and a $1.769 million blanket purchase agreement call from USAID for incurred cost audits and disclosure statement compliance reviews. The firm also provides federal grant compliance auditing — a $274,103.69 NASA call placed in December 2026 requires independent verification that prime contractors follow research security rules for specific federal grants, illustrating Brown & Co's role in NASA's grant administration oversight.

Vehicle positioning anchors the firm's federal strategy. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule serves as the primary contracting vehicle, with 136 task orders carrying $143.9 million in combined potential value; within that, the Federal Supply Schedule GS23F8156H sub-vehicle holds 214 task orders valued at $45.2 million. Brown & Co also holds named single-award blanket purchase agreements with the Bureau of the Fiscal Service ($5 million, through January 2028) for agency financial statement auditing services under Total Small Business set-aside, generating approximately $1.9 million across roughly 22 calls since inception; the Federal Election Commission ($1.55 million, through July 2027) for financial statement, performance, and advisory audits; the National Endowment for the Arts ($500,000, through January 2030) for independent audits and audit-related services; and a newly awarded NASA BPA for independent audit services covering fiscal years 2026 through 2029. A newly established blanket purchase agreement with an unnamed agency customer (August 2026) carries a $2.876 million ceiling for audit, inspection, and evaluation services through August 2031, reflecting recent vehicle expansion.

Activity over the past five years has remained moderate and variable: 12 awards in 2022, 15 in 2023, 11 in 2024, 7 in 2025, and 14 in 2026. The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months involves 16 awards with combined potential value of $2.8 million — a modest exposure reflecting the short-term nature of many audit task orders. Across service contract inventory reporting (SCI), a strict subset capturing federal services contracts above the $150,000 threshold, the vendor invoiced $4.8 million across FY2022–FY2025: $1.1 million in FY2022 (2.8 FTEs), $1.6 million in FY2023 (5.8 FTEs), $2.1 million in FY2024 (4.7 FTEs), and $54 thousand in FY2025 (0.3 FTEs). SCI-derived hourly rates on federal services contracts ran a median of roughly $202 per hour, with senior labor pricing through $535 per hour, reflecting a mix of technical accounting staff and partner-level engagement managers. GSA labor portfolio rates span $63.89 to $281.49 hourly across 20 active categories, from Administrative Support through Partner/Principal roles, all uncleared. Brown & Co performs all work with in-house staff — zero sub-engagement recorded in SCI data.
