JBS International, Inc.

JBS International, Inc., a for-profit management consulting and evaluation services firm headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, delivers program evaluation, research, technical assistance, and health and human services consulting to federal agencies as a prime contractor on 94% of its recent awards. The company is a subsidiary of Blue Cross & Blue Shield of South Carolina and operates across the full span of federal health and human services policy without SBA set-aside designations, competing on full-and-open procurements and GSA schedules.

JBS International's customer concentration is heavily weighted to HHS and related civilian agencies. The top five funding agencies account for at least 67% of combined potential value, led by HHS Health Resources and Services Administration headquarters ($1.22 billion across 23 awards), HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration ($819.3 million across 44 awards), HHS Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration ($387.4 million across 75 awards), HHS Administration for Children and Families ($182.6 million across 10 awards), and the Corporation for National and Community Service ($90.9 million across 37 awards). This customer profile reflects JBS's core capability footprint in evidence building, child welfare program support, behavioral health and substance use disorder services, and maternal and child health technical assistance. Recent representative work includes a $95.2 million time-and-materials delivery order from ACF for the National Child Welfare Center for Innovation and Advancement (awarded August 2024, completion November 2029) providing training and technical assistance to state child welfare agencies, a $43.1 million cost-plus-award-fee delivery order from SAMHSA for state program improvement technical assistance under the SAMHSA 3 IDIQ (awarded September 2022, completion September 2027), and a $344.7 million single-award HRSA Evaluations and Evidence Building IDIQ (awarded September 2024, completion September 2027) consolidating evaluation and evidence-building capacity across HRSA's portfolio.

JBS International holds positions on multiple government-wide and agency-specific vehicles. The Professional Services Schedule carries 38 task orders totaling $180.4 million in combined potential value. The vendor also places work under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (21 task orders, $312.6 million combined potential value), CNCS Blanket Purchase Agreement CNSHQ14A0007 (25 task orders, $7.2 million), HRSA Technical Assistance 2019 IDIQ, SAMHSA 3 IDIQ, and HRSA Evaluation Studies 2019 IDIQ. Most recently, JBS was awarded a seat on the OASIS+ Unrestricted government-wide acquisition contract in December 2024, with a five-year term through December 2029. JBS also holds a single-award BPA with the Corporation for National and Community Service ($56.5 million ceiling through October 2025) for program evaluation and data science support. The vendor operates across administrative management consulting, program evaluation research, professional technical services, and education and social services support, with NAICS concentration in administrative management and general management consulting services (162 awards) and all other professional, scientific, and technical services (59 awards).

SCI-reported federal service-contract invoicing across JBS's prime contracts totaled $124.8 million from FY2022 through FY2025, with FY2025 activity at $44.2 million across 147 FTEs. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, government-paid median rates run around $117.94 per hour, with senior labor pricing through $170.42 per hour at the 90th percentile. GSA Schedule labor categories span 62 unique roles from entry-level interns at $52.37 per hour through senior research associates at $295.92 per hour, with education requirements from high school through master's degree and no security-cleared positions offered. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors deliver approximately 11% of contractor hours, with 56 named subcontractors appearing in the dataset. This sub-engagement posture suggests JBS primarily builds delivery internally, bringing in specialized subs on a targeted basis rather than operating as a general integrator.

JBS International operates as a prime on federal grant work as well. The vendor holds a $4 million cooperative agreement from the Department of Justice Office for Victims of Crime under the Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and other Substances Use Program (CFDA #16.838, awarded October 2023, completion September 2026) to recruit, train, and deploy peer recovery coaches serving children, youth, and families affected by the opioid crisis. A second OVC cooperative agreement ($1.5 million implied value, awarded October 2022, completion September 2027) funds technical assistance to grantees under the Protecting Futures capacity-building program serving child advocacy centers and community-based behavioral health organizations. A third cooperative agreement from the Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (awarded January 2024, completion December 2025) funds comprehensive training and technical assistance to support states and localities in planning youth continuum-of-care initiatives, with JBS partnering as co-recipient alongside the Juvenile Justice Institute of the University of Nebraska Omaha and Social Current. On the sub-recipient side, JBS has received sub-awards from the University of Maine System for the National Tribal Child Welfare Center for Innovation and Advancement (September 2024, October 2025 fiscal-year sub-awards), New Jersey Department of Human Services on State Opioid Response grants, and other state and nonprofit prime recipients working on HHS-related evaluations and evidence-building initiatives.

Activity has averaged roughly 8 awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026), with combined potential value across all 450 awards reaching $4.01 billion and combined dollars obligated at $1.4 billion (35% of potential value). Six awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, with combined potential value of $62.7 million facing recompete risk. The vendor's SCI-invoiced FTE workforce has grown from 343 FTEs across federal service contracts in FY2022 to 146 FTEs in FY2025, though this reflects a shift in reporting methodology between SCI contract-level and sub-record counting rather than linear growth; invoiced revenue has grown more steadily, from $20.8 million in FY2022 to $44.2 million in FY2025. JBS maintains a diversified but concentrated federal health and human services customer base, with roughly 50 distinct agencies in its award portfolio but dominant penetration in HHS line offices and the Corporation for National and Community Service, positioning the vendor as an incumbent on evidence-building and technical-assistance work across federal health, child welfare, behavioral health, and workforce development programs.
