Encompass LLC

Encompass LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Potomac, Maryland, functions as a prime contractor (98% of awards) delivering monitoring, evaluation, and learning services, organizational development, training, and technical assistance to international development agencies—primarily USAID and the Department of State—across 62 distinct customer agencies. The company operates on both full-and-open and woman-owned small business set-aside vehicles, with no 8(a) or HUBZone certification; recent awards split between unrestricted and woman-owned sole-source designations, and the vendor competes predominantly on full-and-open vehicles rather than reserved categories.

Encompass anchors its capability portfolio in MEL services and workforce development for international development missions. Representative prime work includes a $41.5 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order under OASIS Small Business to support USAID/Zambia's performance monitoring and evaluation through May 2029; a $39.8 million delivery order under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule to strengthen data and evidence ecosystems for USAID's education initiatives (with subcontractors Salt Analytics, Management Systems International, Ekitabu, and the African Population and Health Research Centre); a $29.97 million definitive contract with USAID/Jordan for the Women's Economic Empowerment and Leadership Activity; a $27.99 million BPA call for Global Learning Solutions and Services under USAID's Worldwide Training Services, with subcontractor Management Concepts, Inc.; and a $23.39 million delivery order under OASIS Small Business for USAID/Nepal localization programming support, with subcontractors including Mercy Corps and Foundation for Development Management. A $3.42 million sole-source award from the Department of State's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs provides MEL services to DOS partners in Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela through September 2029. Encompass recently secured two major GSA vehicles: OASIS+ Total Small Business (awarded December 2024, five-year base plus option through December 2029) and OASIS+ Unrestricted (awarded December 2024, same term), both with no dollar ceiling specified in the source.

Customer concentration is extreme and anchored in USAID's bureau-level offices. The top five funding agencies, covering 78% of combined potential value, are USAID Bureau for Management Office of the Assistant Administrator (30 awards, $1.46 billion), USAID Mexico (13 awards, $896.2 million), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at HHS (3 awards, $203.2 million), the Department of State Bureau of the Comptroller and Global Financial Services (5 awards, $150.5 million), and USAID core (63 awards, $127.8 million). The bureau-level concentration signal differs markedly from award-count ranking: USAID core leads in volume but not dollars, while USAID's administrative/management offices dominate potential value. This reflects a portfolio of large enterprise-scale training and learning-architecture contracts alongside smaller task orders.

Encompass places most work under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (87 task orders, $559.6 million combined potential value), with secondary positions on EVAL ME II – Monitoring Evaluation Learning Services (7 task orders, $86.3 million), the Professional Services Schedule (17 task orders, $10.1 million), and a single-award BPA for Worldwide Training Services ($93.4 million ceiling). The company holds positions on both newly awarded OASIS+ vehicles and continues to capture task orders under mature USAID IDIQs.

Activity has been volatile. Awards per year averaged under twenty over 2021–2024, with a sharp contraction visible in the SCI dataset: FY2022 showed $28.5 million in SCI-reportable invoicing across roughly 1,412 FTEs, peaked at $58.2 million across 215 FTEs in FY2024 (an FTE anomaly driven by contract-level reporting netting), then declined to $27.7 million across 57 FTEs in FY2025. The source shows only one award in 2026 (the September 15 DOS contract). On SCI-reportable federal service contracts, Encompass invoiced $154.9 million across four fiscal years as prime. Government-paid hourly rates on these contracts ranged from $89.19/hr at the 10th percentile to $229.23/hr at the 90th percentile, with a median of $134.85/hr, reflecting a lean workforce with junior-to-mid-level staffing (no cleared positions); GSA Schedule rates span $93.01/hr for communications specialists through $502.65/hr for senior coaches, driven by master's-level experience requirements at the high end. Three awards (combined potential value $53.7 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete.

Encompass operates primarily as a self-performing prime, with across-SCI-reportable-prime-contracts an average subcontractor hours share of 17%, reflecting a core internal team of MEL, training, and learning specialists. The vendor names 94 total subcontractors across its prime footprint, with recurring partners including Management Concepts, Inc. (training and consulting), Management Systems International (MEL and data services), TLC Solutions LLC (leadership development, woman-owned), and Socha LLC / Wazima Solutions (evaluation services, veteran-owned). In its limited subcontractor role (2% of awards), Encompass provides MEL and gender-equality-social-inclusion services under ICF Incorporated (Demographic and Health Surveys), Segura Consulting LLC (USAID water-sanitation-hygiene data and analytics), and Dexis Interactive LLC (Armenia governance and anti-corruption work).

The top NAICS categories are Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (127 awards), Professional and Management Development Training (46 awards), and All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (37 awards), with top PSC codes reflecting Support – Professional: Other (69 awards) and Education/Training – Training/Curriculum Development (27 awards). Encompass has delivered federal contract prime awards since at least 2001 and holds a broad footprint across civilian international development and state department missions; the vendor carries no reported federal defense exposure and operates exclusively in the civilian interagency and diplomatic development space.
