Jefferson Consulting Group LLC

Jefferson Consulting Group LLC, a Women-Owned Small Business headquartered in Washington, D.C., delivers acquisition program management, organizational development, and professional services to federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor on 342 of its 344 recent awards (99%). The firm competes across both full-and-open and WOSB-designated procurements, with WOSB set-asides appearing in roughly 40 percent of recent prime awards but not defining its competitive posture; it wins a majority of work without set-aside constraints. Jefferson is structured as a limited liability partnership and holds SBA certification as a Women-Owned Small Business.

Jefferson's capability portfolio spans acquisition support, program management, organizational development, change management, regulatory compliance, and strategic consulting. Representative prime work includes a $62.9 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from the U.S. Agency for International Development's Bureau for Resilience and Food Security (September 2023) for technical, administrative, and programmatic support; a $64.9 million delivery order from the U.S. Mission in Mexico (January 2022) for research and institutional support services supporting the Africa Joint Regional Strategy under the OASIS SB vehicle; and a $40.7 million USAID delivery order (September 2022) for gender integration and equality subject matter expertise in program design, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. Smaller representative engagements include a $14.2 million Department of Transportation Immediate Office of the Secretary BPA for acquisition program management office establishment and workload intake tool implementation (June 2026), an $8.69 million USDA APHIS BPA for marketing and regulatory programs business services support (September 2025, extended to September 2031), and acquisition support services across the General Services Administration, Federal Railroad Administration, and National Institutes of Health.

On the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, Jefferson offers eight labor categories spanning research assistant ($72.06/hr) through corporate executive ($256.73/hr), with bachelor's-degree and associate-degree roles carrying five to eleven years' experience requirements and no security clearance offerings. Median government-paid rates across SCI-reported prime contracts ran $145.28 per hour, with a 10th-to-90th percentile range from $92.31 to $229.51 per hour, indicating mid-tier to senior-level labor positioning focused on consulting and program management.

Customer concentration sits with civilian agencies. The top five customers by award count—the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions (45 awards, $57.4 million), the National Institutes of Health Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (26 awards, $180.8 million), the Department of Homeland Security Chief Procurement Officer (13 awards, $4.3 million), the National Interagency Fire Center (11 awards, $26 million), and the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (8 awards, $7.4 million)—account for 30 percent of awards. When ranked by potential value, the picture shifts: USAID's Bureau for Management ($199.9 million across five awards), GSA Federal Acquisition Service ($187.1 million across six awards), and NIH ($180.8 million across 26 awards) drive the top three positions, together representing 24 percent of total potential value. This concentration reflects Jefferson's positioning as a prime on large single-award and small-business-set-aside IDIQs and delivery orders rather than a high-volume task-order competitor across many small procurements.

Jefferson holds positions on six major parent vehicles: the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (128 task orders, $808.9 million combined potential value), the Federal Supply Schedule GS23F8050H (122 task orders, $82.1 million), and smaller volumes under The Professional Services Schedule, several NIH indefinite delivery contracts, and others. The firm's most significant recent vehicle additions include the OASIS+ Unrestricted GWAC awarded December 2024 with a multi-billion-dollar ceiling running through December 2029; a $22.5 million National Interagency Fire Center BPA for IPO consultation, web-based tools, automations, and database support (awarded December 2023); and a $175 million NIH Business and Professional Support Services III IDIQ (awarded July 2022) supporting acquisition, organizational assessment, communication, training, and program planning across NIH and subordinate DHHS components. The firm also holds a $250 million USAID Compliance and Capacity Support for Diverse Partnerships IDIQ, a $150 million Department of State Performance Management, Evaluation, and Learning Services contract, and a $14.6 million Federal Transit Administration BPA.

Activity trajectory shows volatility. Jefferson averaged 28 awards in 2022, climbed to 32 in 2023, dropped sharply to 16 in 2024, and has sustained 11 to 12 awards annually in 2025 and 2026 through mid-September. The combined potential value across all 344 recent awards is $2.77 billion, with combined obligated dollars of $406.9 million (15 percent of potential). The recompete cliff within the next twenty-four months includes seventeen awards with combined potential value of $46.3 million reaching ultimate completion.

SCI-reported invoicing reflects scaled-up delivery from FY2022 through FY2024, followed by contraction in FY2025. Prime federal service contracts captured in SCI generated $18.6 million across 72.3 FTEs in FY2022, peaked at $58 million across 245 FTEs in FY2024, and declined to $33.6 million across 101 FTEs in FY2025. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Jefferson performed roughly 89 percent of contractor hours internally and engaged subcontractors for the remaining 11 percent, indicating a build-your-own-team operational model rather than a heavy-sub-reliant posture. The vendor reported 74 named subcontractors across its prime SCI records, concentrated in support roles. On the Air Force Special Operations Command's $49.1 million 505th Training Group delivery order (December 2023, running through December 2028), a notable exception occurred: two subcontractors delivered 79 percent of contractor hours in FY2025, a departure from Jefferson's typical sub-engagement pattern and reflecting the labor-intensive training and instruction scope of that award. Prime subcontracting relationships identified in the source include Arc Aspicio LLC (IPAWS PMO support) and Constellation Inc. (professional contractor support services).

Jefferson's prime-heavy footprint (99 percent of awards), self-performed labor model (11 percent sub-hours average on SCI prime contracts), and focus on civilian acquisition, organizational, and program management services position it as a mature standalone prime rather than a feeding subcontractor for larger defense or intelligence contractors. The firm competes effectively across full-and-open civilian procurements while maintaining WOSB-set-aside capacity; it does not show 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other small-business set-aside reliance as a defining competitive characteristic. Recent activity contraction and a $46.3 million recompete cliff over the next twenty-four months suggest near-term pipeline pressure on midsize awards.
