Colleague Consulting, LLC, registered in SAM.gov since February 2004, is an SBA-certified women-owned small business (WOSB) structured as a limited liability partnership. The firm specializes in human capital management, leadership development, training, and organizational consulting services for federal agencies. Based in Greenbelt, Maryland, Colleague Consulting provides comprehensive workforce development and executive coaching solutions designed to enhance organizational effectiveness and leadership capabilities across civilian and defense agencies. The company maintains strong relationships with multiple federal departments and agencies, leveraging extensive experience spanning over two decades to deliver tailored professional development and strategic planning support.

Colleague Consulting's federal contract portfolio demonstrates substantial breadth across human capital management services. The firm has received contract awards from diverse agencies including the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Energy, Department of State, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of Labor, Department of Education, National Gallery of Art, Foreign Service Institute, General Services Administration, Air National Guard, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Services delivered through these contracts encompass executive coaching for senior executives and high-potential managers, leadership development programs including Senior Manager Courses and Leading Leaders' Readiness Courses, strategic planning training, organizational development and diversity/equity/inclusion consulting, project management career development programs, facilities management support, and specialized training curriculum development. Contract values have ranged from under $10,000 for individual training courses to multi-million dollar delivery orders, with several contracts exceeding $500,000. The majority of awards have been issued without small business set-asides, though Colleague Consulting has also successfully competed for and won total small business set-aside contracts. Pricing structures have included firm fixed-price, time and materials, and labor hours arrangements. Notable partners on subcontracts have included other women-owned small businesses such as Linda Farrell Group, LLC and Take Charge Consultants, Inc. Many contracts have utilized parent vehicles including the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule, the Human Capital and Training Solutions (HCaTS) indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract, and agency-specific Blanket Purchase Agreements. Colleague Consulting has worked extensively with the IRS, which has issued numerous task orders for executive coaching and leadership development services; the Department of Energy, which has procured training development and project management career development program services; and the Foreign Service Institute, which has engaged the firm for training delivery and course development services.
