Business Management Research Associates, Inc.

Business Management Research Associates, Inc., a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) headquartered in Manassas, Virginia, delivers professional education and training services to the federal government as a prime contractor across 176 agencies, with a particular concentration in Federal Acquisition Certification (FAC) training, project management development, contracting officer representative (COR) skills, grants management, and leadership development. The company competes in full-and-open acquisitions; while some awards carry total small business set-asides, the majority of recent work flows through unrestricted competitions on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule.

Business Management Research Associates serves a highly dispersed customer base. The top five funding agencies account for only 25 percent of all awards by count: the Federal Transit Administration (67 awards, $23.8 million), the Department of State Foreign Service Institute (63 awards, $16.5 million), the Department of the Navy (61 awards), the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (50 awards), and the Small Business Administration Office of Performance Management and the Chief Financial Officer (34 awards, $3.8 million). Dollar concentration is steeper—the GSA Federal Acquisition Service alone anchors $323.2 million in combined potential value across 14 awards, driven by the vendor's $305.5 million Federal Supply Schedule contract. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services represents the second-largest dollar customer with $167.3 million across 21 awards, primarily through a $150 million BPA. This two-customer base accounts for roughly 73 percent of the vendor's combined potential value, despite FTA and State holding the plurality of task orders.

The vendor sits on multiple parent vehicles. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) dominates the footprint at 588 task orders worth $330.7 million combined potential value and serves as the master contract underlying most of the vendor's BPA positions. The Professional Services Schedule hosts 111 task orders valued at $15.1 million. Below that tier are five focused BPAs: a $150 million multi-award FAC-C/FAC-COR/FAC-PPM/Continuous Learning Points BPA with CMS (total small business set-aside); a $12 million single-award HSAI Training Development and Delivery BPA with GSA (total small business set-aside); a $10 million single-award Virtual Instructor-Led Training BPA with GSA for FAC-C, FAC-COR, FAC-PPM, and credentials training; a $7.5 million Naval Sea Systems Command BPA for training services (total small business set-aside); and a $4.2 million HHS Centralized Training Courses BPA. Additionally, a $12.4 million Federal Transit Administration Indefinite Delivery Contract (total small business set-aside) anchors the FTA's heavy ordering volume.

Core capability work centers on training design, delivery, and courseware development for Federal Acquisition Certification domains (FAC-C, FAC-COR, FAC-PPM), project management at all levels, COR certification and warrant training, appropriations law, grants management and federal financial assistance, business writing, leadership and professional development, facilities management, and Section 508 accessibility compliance remediation. Representative recent awards include a $974,866 VILT II call from the Office of the Secretary of Defense for financial management training (March 2026); a $794,642 FTA Procurement System Review task order for workforce development consulting (September 2025); a $482,511 National Park Service BPA call for facilities management leadership programs (March 2022); a $470,324 Maritime Administration delivery order for grants compliance program development (September 2021); and a $394,516 VA Acquisition Internship School instructional systems design contract for FAC-C training solution development (July 2022).

Business Management Research Associates' GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 35 active categories priced from $68.64/hour (Administrative Assistant I, high school education) to $346.54/hour (Subject Matter Expert IV, master's degree, 10 years experience). The spectrum includes instructors and facilitators ($130.76/hr, bachelor's, five years), instructional systems designers ($103.53–$228.85/hr depending on seniority), researchers and programmer analysts ($151.47–$178.72/hr), and senior subject matter experts. No security-cleared positions are offered.

SCI-reported invoicing shows the vendor delivered $12.2 million across prime federal service contracts captured above the $150 thousand threshold from FY2022 to FY2024: $2.1 million in FY2022, $4.7 million in FY2023, and $5.4 million in FY2024. The SCI dataset shows roughly 2–5 full-time equivalents delivered annually to federal customers in those fiscal years. Government-paid median hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ran around $169.27/hour, with rates ranging from $102.67/hour at the tenth percentile to $432.12/hour at the ninety-eth percentile. The vendor performs work primarily with its own staff; across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for zero percent of total hours, indicating Business Management Research Associates builds and deploys its own delivery teams rather than relying on subcontractor capacity.

Activity has been volatile across the award record. Annual awards ran 55 (2022), 58 (2023), 40 (2024), 15 (2025), and 5 through April 2026—a decline trajectory over the past two years. Thirteen awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $3.9 million, presenting recompete exposure in that window. The vendor holds one subcontractor position, serving as a sub to EnCompass LLC on a USAID Worldwide Training Services BPA call beginning October 2022.
