JG Research & Evaluation LLC

JG Research & Evaluation LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Bozeman, Montana, delivers research, analysis, and technical consulting services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, with recent work spanning environmental data evaluation, social science research, and health policy analysis. The vendor holds SBA Certified Women-Owned Small Business status and operates as a limited liability partnership structured as a Subchapter S corporation.

The vendor's award footprint is nascent but diversified across three federal customers. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates the potential-value picture with a $6 million Multiple Award Schedule contract awarded September 25, 2024, through September 24, 2029. The vendor also holds a $78,910 firm-fixed-price purchase order from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for nonpersonal services supporting the Upper Missouri River Basin Engagement Project, running through October 31, 2025, and a $75 thousand award from the Defense Health Agency. All three awards are prime contracts with no set-aside designation; the vendor does not subcontract work in its current federal footprint.

The GSA Schedule contract establishes the vendor's capability framing. JG Research & Evaluation LLC holds approval under three Special Item Numbers: Technical Consulting Services (541690), Research and Analysis and Developmental Services in Social Sciences and Humanities (541720), and Other Professional/Scientific/Technical Services (541990), with each SIN capped at $1 million per order. The labor portfolio spans 43 unique categories, ranging from Project Assistants at $62.63 per hour (associate-level, no experience required) through doctoral-level Subject Matter Experts at $260.96 per hour (PhD, 14+ years experience). The midrange includes Project Managers, Researchers, Data Scientists and Engineers, Technical Writers, Program Directors, and Facilitators — all non-classified roles with no security-clearance offerings. The NOAA purchase order work exemplifies the vendor's environmental and data-science capability: the contract supports evaluation of the viability of UMRB monitoring networks and data acquisition processes, extending the period of performance through October 2025.

Activity is sparse in the source data. The vendor received one award in 2018 and two in 2024, generating $6.2 million in combined potential value, though only $154 thousand has been obligated to date (3% of the potential ceiling). Service Contract Inventory records show minimal SCI-reportable federal services activity — one SCI record in FY2024, representing 0.8 FTEs delivered as a named subcontractor, below the $150,000 reporting threshold for the other awards. The vendor competes full-and-open rather than under women-owned small-business set-asides, suggesting a positioning strategy oriented to general federal contracting rather to leveraging WOSB-reserved vehicles.

JG Research and Evaluation provides applied research services, including: design and implementation of rigorous social science research methodologies for program evaluation, needs assessment, and scoping research; analysis and interpretation of quantitative and qualitative data, including survey design, complex sampling, interviews, and focus groups; technical assistance for program design and implementation; and content expertise in community and public health, the human dimensions of food systems and natural resource management, and rural community development
