A-Bear Consult LLC

A-Bear Consult LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) headquartered in Crowley, Texas, delivers radiation safety, dosimetry monitoring, medical physics, and health physics services to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor on federal task orders and indefinite-delivery contracts. The vendor operates under Subchapter S corporation structure with SDVOSB and Veteran-Owned Small Business certifications, competing predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides and full-and-open solicitations; of 109 total prime awards in the source data, roughly 60 percent carry explicit SDVOSB set-aside designations, with the balance issued full-and-open or under Total Small Business set-asides.

A-Bear Consult's capability portfolio centers on occupational radiation monitoring and dosimetry badge services, diagnostic medical physics equipment testing and inspection, radiation physicist and health physicist support, radiation safety officer duties, and survey meter calibration for federal healthcare facilities. Representative work includes a $455,518 single-award IDIQ with VA VISN 4 for dosimetry services and badges across five Pennsylvania medical centers (Pittsburgh, Butler, Lebanon, Wilkes-Barre, Philadelphia) running through June 30, 2030; a $578,570 definitive contract with VA VISN 22 for radiology survey, testing, and radiation safety officer services at Loma Linda and Redlands, California facilities through September 30, 2028; a $745,575 purchase order with VA VISN 7 for on-site diagnostic medical physics support and quality control surveys across imaging equipment at Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center and outpatient clinics in the Savannah and Charleston areas through September 30, 2029; and a $324,042 purchase order with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for personnel radiation monitoring program support (dosimeter issuance, processing, and evaluation for NRC employees) through December 12, 2026.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of Veterans Affairs and its Veterans Integrated Service Networks. The top five VISN customers account for 55 percent of awards by count, led by VA VISN 4 (23 awards, $1.1 million combined potential value), VA VISN 7 (11 awards, $2.6 million), VA VISN 15 (9 awards, $1.2 million), VA VISN 16 (9 awards, $980 thousand), and VA VISN 17 (8 awards, $1.2 million). By potential value, VA VISN 7 anchors the top five with $2.6 million across 11 awards, while VA VISN 4 leads by volume. Beyond the VA system, A-Bear Consult has delivered work to the Defense Health Agency (BPA for radiology device annual survey services at Fort Liberty, North Carolina), the Environmental Protection Agency ($197,546 definitive contract for radiation dosimetry support services), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Food and Drug Administration, the Indian Health Service, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Across 22 distinct customer agencies, the vendor shows deep concentration in VA healthcare operations—accounting for approximately 85 percent of award count and 90 percent of potential value—with secondary presence in federal regulatory and civilian health agencies.

A-Bear Consult holds six active indefinite-delivery vehicles: a $455,518 IDIQ with VA VISN 4 for dosimetry services and badges (9 task orders issued since July 2025); a $256,877 SDVOSB IDIQ with VA VISN 5 for health physicist services (4 task orders); a $201,355 SDVOSB IDIQ with VA VISN 2 for diagnostic medical physics equipment testing and inspection (2 task orders); a $183,810 SDVOSB IDIQ with VA VISN 15 for nuclear medical physicist and medical radiation safety expert services (1 task order issued as of source date); a $144,780 BPA with the Defense Health Agency for radiology device annual survey services at Womack Army Medical Center (June 2025 through May 2029); and a $127,680 SDVOSB IDIQ with VA VISN 4 for radiation physicist services at Butler VA Medical Center (2 task orders). These vehicles serve as the primary conduits for work across the VA's regional health networks and defense healthcare operations.

Activity demonstrates sustained volume with slight decline in the most recent year. Awards per year averaged 16.8 over the past five years (2022: 16 | 2023: 11 | 2024: 21 | 2025: 20 | 2026: 16, through September 30), with the vendor maintaining a baseline of 11 to 21 awards annually. Of 109 total awards, 26 (combined potential value $3.6 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing moderate recompete exposure across multiple VISN-level contracts and task orders. SCI-reported invoicing across federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $945 thousand over fiscal years 2023–2025 (FY2023: $349 thousand | FY2024: $122 thousand | FY2025: $475 thousand), with FTE delivery to the federal government on SCI-reportable contracts averaging 0.3 FTEs across the three-year period (FY2023: 0.2 FTEs | FY2024: 0.1 FTEs | FY2025: 0.7 FTEs). These SCI figures represent a strict subset of the vendor's federal services activity and do not reflect total company revenue; on SCI-reportable contracts, government-paid rates ranged from a 10th percentile of $320.74 per hour to a median of $1,015.00 per hour and a 90th percentile of $1,303.00 per hour, reflecting the technical and certification-heavy nature of medical physics and radiation safety labor. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed an average of 8 percent of total contractor hours, with one named subcontractor reported, indicating A-Bear Consult primarily executes work with internal staff rather than subcontracted delivery.

The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor—100 percent of awards are prime contracts or IDVs—with no recorded federal sub-award activity. Work is performed across a geographically dispersed footprint spanning Pennsylvania, Texas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, West Virginia, North Carolina, Oregon, Nebraska, and other states, with administrative headquarters in Crowley, Texas. NAICS concentration runs to Testing Laboratories and Services (52 awards) and Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services (24 awards), with product service codes dominated by Quality Control–Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies (19 awards) and Medical–Radiology services (12 awards). The vendor competes predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides and holds sustained relationships across multiple VA regional networks, positioning it as a specialized service provider to federal healthcare and regulatory radiation-safety requirements rather than a broad-based federal contractor.
