High Street Consulting Group LLC

High Street Consulting Group LLC, doing business as HSC Group, provides transportation data analytics, statistical research, and program evaluation services to the Department of Transportation as a prime contractor (79% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on federal grant and analytical support work, operating full-and-open on a non-set-aside basis across all customer vehicles.

HSC Group is a for-profit limited liability partnership headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, established as a federal contractor since 2008. The vendor competes exclusively in unrestricted full-and-open procurements with no SBA set-aside designations across its prime footprint. Transportation data development, statistical analysis, and transportation system research form the core capability portfolio, spanning freight analysis framework modeling, public finance statistics, transportation vulnerability and resilience data tools, multimodal freight network development, and performance measurement for discretionary grant programs.

Customer concentration is extreme and monolithic. All 47 awards across the vendor's recent footprint fund Department of Transportation programs: the Immediate Office of the Secretary (11 awards, $26.1 million potential value), the Federal Highway Administration (21 awards, $22.2 million), and the Federal Transit Administration (14 awards, $11.6 million). GSA's Federal Acquisition Service represents a single $1.2 million outlier. The two customer rankings (by award count and by dollar value) track identically — the Office of the Secretary dominates both volume and dollars — with no tension between them.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics Analytical Support Services IDIQ anchors most prime work. HSC Group holds the single-award IDIQ, valued at $19.4 million with an ultimate completion date of November 14, 2026, and has issued ten task orders under it totaling $6.6 million in combined potential value. Representative orders include a $2.79 million firm-fixed-price delivery order (awarded September 23, 2022) for estimating transportation cost burden at the local level, a $759 thousand time-and-materials order (September 27, 2022) for National Transportation Atlas Database multimodal freight network development and technical support, a $478 thousand firm-fixed-price order (November 22, 2024) for development of a Transportation Vulnerability and Resilience Data and Tools Hub, and a $761 thousand time-and-materials delivery order (July 6, 2026) for analytical and statistical services supporting BTS operations through July 2028. HSC Group also holds a GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract (awarded December 5, 2024, ceiling $1.2 million, performance through December 4, 2029) offering 17 labor categories at hourly rates from $87.01 to $414.43, spanning entry-level functional specialist roles through senior advisor and technical expert positions requiring master's degrees and up to eighteen years of experience; no security-cleared positions are offered.

Beyond the BTS IDIQ, HSC Group operates under four other parent IDIQs with the Federal Highway Administration (10 task orders, $5.7 million combined potential value) and Federal Transit Administration (4 and 2 task orders, respectively, combining $1.27 million). SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts captured $1.7 million in FY2023 and $2 million in FY2024, supporting roughly 3.6 and 3.7 FTEs respectively. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ranged from roughly $130/hr at the tenth percentile through a median of $220/hr to $317/hr at the ninety percentile, reflecting a spectrum from functional-specialist labor through senior research and advisory roles.

HSC Group operates as a prime on most work but maintains a subcontractor footprint on federal grant programs. The vendor subcontracts to the National Academy of Sciences on research and development grants across multiple CFDA vehicles, supporting efforts including post-implementation evaluation of transportation projects, analysis of national performance management data, guides for transportation visualizations, and development of AASHTO's 2027–2032 strategic plan. The vendor also subcontracts to ICF Incorporated on performance measurement and program evaluation for the Department of Transportation's PROTECT (Promoting Resilient Operations for Transformative, Efficient, and Cost-Saving Transportation) Discretionary Grant Program, supporting monitoring and evaluation of planning grant projects. Across SCI-reportable prime service contracts, subcontractors performed roughly 16% of total contractor hours on average, with seven named subcontractors appearing across the prime contract base.

Activity has been uneven year over year — five awards in 2022, one in 2023, nine in 2024, four in 2025, and two in 2026 — with only three awards (combined potential value $1.4 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore exposed to recompete. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics Analytical Support Services IDIQ itself completes November 14, 2026, creating a potential recompete window for the single-award vehicle that has served as the vendor's primary contracting platform since November 2021.
