About the company
Good Research, LLC, doing business as Nathaniel Good, is a sole proprietorship based in Albany, California, that delivers research consulting and user experience design services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (89% of awards). The firm is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and competes full-and-open without reliance on set-aside categories.
Good Research's customer base is concentrated among three federal agencies. The Federal Trade Commission dominates the footprint, accounting for 7 of 9 total awards with $419 thousand in combined potential value, primarily under PSC Support-Professional: Expert Witness designations. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has placed one award, a $307.612 thousand time-and-materials contract for user experience and web design expert services dated July 25, 2022, with ultimate completion in November 2025. The National Science Foundation represents the third agency customer through a sub-award role.
Good Research's recent prime contract work includes a $100 thousand definitive contract from the Federal Trade Commission for consulting services awarded September 28, 2026, with performance through September 24, 2029. The vendor's subcontract footprint is minimal — one sub-award as of September 30, 2026, with Georgia Tech Research Corp as prime grantee under an NSF grant, where Good Research assessed, designed, and implemented data management governance and privacy compliance for EarSketch, including COPPA compliance documentation, information security controls, and privacy program design with ongoing monitoring and reporting responsibilities.
Activity is sparse and episodic across the source period. Two awards arrived in 2026 (nine total since 2013), with combined potential value of $727 thousand across all nine awards. Awards obligated at $897 thousand against that potential — indicating some earlier awards ran over ceiling or invoiced above potential value. The CFPB contract reaches ultimate completion in November 2025 and faces recompete; the FTC September 2026 contract extends through September 2029. Good Research's work centers on federal research policy consulting, consumer protection UX design, and data governance advisory services, with no federal contract vehicle participation or IDV seats.
