Hedgelan Consulting LLC

Hedgelan Consulting LLC, a woman-owned, HUBZone-certified small business based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, operates as a prime contractor delivering administrative support services, library operations, and facilities management to civilian federal agencies. The firm holds SBA certifications as a HUBZone firm, woman-owned small business, small disadvantaged business, and Native American owned, and competes predominantly under set-aside vehicles — most notably Total Small Business and HUBZone set-asides — though recent task orders increasingly carry full-and-open competition without set-aside designation.

Hedgelan's federal work centers on personnel staffing for administrative roles, library and archive services, and facilities support across distributed locations. Representative work includes a $150 million multiple-award IDIQ with the National Institutes of Health (Long-Term Administrative Support Contract III, awarded January 2023) for administrative and technical support across NIH institutes and offices through 2028, with recent delivery orders valued at $232,421.76 for an Executive Assistant position with the Office of Research Innovation and $202,057.65 for administrative support at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Hedgelan also holds a $20 million single-award HUBZone IDIQ with the U.S. Geological Survey (awarded June 2022) for administrative technical support services including contract specialists, customer service, warehouse support, and security assistants, with task orders ranging from $125,148.80 to $1.74 million, and a $2.6 million purchase order with the Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Library for collection maintenance and document delivery through October 2027.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations accounts for $300.2 million in combined potential value across just three awards (82% of the total portfolio's potential value), driven almost entirely by the NIH LTASC III IDIQ. The Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants represents the second-largest customer by award count, with 40 awards totaling $30.9 million in combined potential value (8% of the portfolio). The top five customer agencies account for 95% of recent awards by count and 100% of combined potential value. This concentration reflects Hedgelan's positioning as a specialized administrative-support provider to a narrow set of longtime federal customers rather than a broad federal market player.

Hedgelan's primary vehicle positions are the NIH LTASC III (a $150 million Total Small Business multiple-award IDIQ with delivery orders issued by multiple NIH institutes), the USGS $20 million HUBZone administrative technical support IDIQ, and a USGS library support services IDIQ (referenced at $3.5 million woman-owned small business set-aside in award summaries), with 30 task orders under the lead IDIQ generating $2.6 million in combined potential value. Activity has declined sharply in recent years — 10 awards in 2022 and 15 in 2023, dropping to 14 in 2024, 3 in 2025, and 2 in 2026 — a trajectory suggesting either slowing new task-order issuance or a shift away from discrete SCI-reportable orders toward longer-term staffing arrangements. Six awards with combined potential value of $6.8 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete exposure on smaller task orders rather than the dominant LTASC III and USGS vehicles.

Hedgelan operates entirely as a prime contractor (100% of awards are prime; zero sub awards in the source). Service Contract Inventory data captures $3.2 million in invoiced revenue across prime records from FY2022 through FY2024, with roughly $1 million annually in FY2022 and FY2023 and $1.2 million in FY2024. SCI-reported federal FTE delivery scaled from 6.5 FTEs in FY2022 to 13.9 FTEs in FY2024, indicating modest but growing staffing scale on SCI-reportable contracts. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for an average of 21% of total contractor hours, with eight named subcontractors appearing in the dataset, suggesting Hedgelan builds its own delivery teams for the majority of work while using subs for specialized or overflow labor. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, government-paid rates run a median of $42.01 per hour, with a range from a 10th percentile of $35.47 per hour to a 90th percentile of $46.78 per hour — positioning Hedgelan in the lower-to-mid tier of federal administrative and support-services pricing.

The SCI dataset represents a strict subset of Hedgelan's federal revenue: the $3.2 million in SCI-reported invoicing excludes the majority of the vendor's IDIQ activity (which generates task orders below the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold or as aggregate staffing arrangements rather than discrete reportable contracts) and captures only a fraction of the firm's $366.5 million combined potential value across all 58 prime awards. The gap between SCI invoicing and portfolio potential value underscores that Hedgelan's core business—long-term IDIQ staffing on multiple NIH institutes and USGS facilities—operates on smaller individual task orders or periodic staffing additions rather than as high-dollar discrete procurements. Capability framing centers on administrative assistant and executive assistant staffing (Administrative Assistant levels 2–4, Senior Administrative Assistants, Executive Assistants at various grades), library circulation desk operations, digitization and collection preservation, warehouse and security support, and consolidated administrative technical support across federal offices. The vendor's competitive moat sits with its established seats on the NIH LTASC III and USGS HUBZone IDIQ, high switching costs for established staffing relationships, and woman-owned and HUBZone certifications that protect task-order awards under set-aside designations.
