HGW And Associates, LLC

HGW And Associates, LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Knoxville, Tennessee, operates as a prime contractor delivering Enterprise Safety Applications Management System (ESAMS) cloud-based software licenses, maintenance, training, and technical support services to the Department of Defense and related federal health agencies. The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open (100% of awards are prime, with no subcontractor footprint), holding a dominant position on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule since April 2021 and a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the U.S. Marine Corps.

HGW's customer base is heavily concentrated within the Navy and Marine Corps. The top five funding agencies account for 89% of combined potential value, led by the Department of the Navy Installations Command (14 awards, $69.3 million combined potential value), the GSA Federal Acquisition Service (2 awards, $33.7 million), the U.S. Marine Corps (38 awards, $9.3 million), Naval Sea Systems Command (46 awards, $4 million), and the Defense Logistics Agency (5 awards, $3.4 million). The divergence between award-count and dollar rankings reflects HGW's relationship with Navy Installations Command: relatively few but high-value orders, including a $20.5 million Total Small Business definitive contract awarded June 14, 2022, for ESAMS user licenses supporting Navy compliance with occupational safety documentation requirements. Representative delivery orders span ESAMS software licensing ($27,360 to $1.9 million orders across the Marine Corps, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Naval Air Systems Command, and the Defense Health Agency), training and technical support ($92,166 to $499,349 orders), and ancillary work such as web-based course development and safety data integration.

HGW places the vast majority of its work under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule: 164 task orders carrying $37.1 million in combined potential value, with an additional single-award Marine Corps indefinite delivery contract (M6700423D0003) supporting six task orders valued at $138 thousand. The GSA MAS vehicle, a $32.4 million contract extending through at least April 2026, encompasses fourteen labor categories spanning technical support (entry-level $51.99/hr through specialist-level $70.86/hr), software development specialists ($108.70/hr to $166.38/hr), software engineers ($167.98/hr), and program management ($201.54/hr). The vendor offers no cleared labor categories and requires no higher than a bachelor's degree for its top-tier roles.

Award activity declined notably in recent years. HGW executed seven prime awards in 2022, peaked at fifteen in 2023, fell to nine in 2024, and has issued only one award (in early 2026) in 2025–2026 to date. This trajectory suggests recompete and repricing pressure on the GSA Schedule and Marine Corps vehicles. Nine awards with combined potential value of $2.8 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing near-term recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoicing captures only a partial view of federal services work: HGW reported $6.5 million in invoiced revenue across three prime contracts spanning FY2022–FY2024, with workforce scaling from 1.8 FTEs in FY2022 to 7.7–7.8 FTEs in FY2023–2024. On SCI-reportable contracts, government-paid median hourly rates ran around $103/hr, with senior labor reaching $776/hr at the 90th percentile. The vendor performs no subcontracted work on federal records, building and staffing its own delivery teams end-to-end.
