Knowesis, Inc.

Knowesis, Inc. (Knowesis Division), a certified Woman-Owned Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, operates as a federal prime contractor (85% of recent awards) across defense health research, medical research support, data analytics, and program management services, with a $55.62 billion combined potential value across 98 recent awards. Knowesis competes across multiple postures: predominantly under small-business set-asides (Woman-Owned Small Business, Total Small Business, and 8(a) designations) on specialized vehicles, and full-and-open on multiple award schedules and government-wide contract vehicles.

Knowesis' customer concentration is heavily skewed toward defense and health research. The Defense Health Agency anchors the portfolio with 27 awards and $627 million in combined potential value, followed by the Department of the Army Medical Command (11 awards, $294.5 million), the Department of the Air Force Headquarters District Washington (8 awards, $250.8 million), and the Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command (8 awards, $167 million). These four agencies account for 54 awards covering 62% of recent award count. However, dollar concentration is dominated by GSA Federal Acquisition Service holdings on government-wide vehicles: GSA carries 7 awards with $50.25 billion combined potential value, reflecting Knowesis' seats on the OASIS+ Total Small Business and OASIS+ Unrestricted IDIQs awarded in December 2024, though that dollar magnitude is a system placeholder and should not be treated as a binding ceiling. Obligated dollars to date total $355 million (1% of combined potential value), indicating early-stage drawdowns across the newer OASIS+ vehicles.

Knowesis holds positions on three major government-wide vehicles. The OASIS+ Total Small Business IDIQ (GSA Federal Acquisition Service, awarded December 2024, five-year base with five-year option, no specified dollar ceiling) reserves coverage for small businesses across management and advisory, technical and engineering, research and development, intelligence, environmental, facilities, and logistics. The OASIS+ Unrestricted IDIQ (GSA Federal Acquisition Service, awarded December 2024, same performance period) carries no set-aside restrictions and is being drawn for Defense Health Agency work; to date one task order for $3.63 million on CBRN defense and Army Medical Research Development Command administrative and scientific support (Frederick, Maryland, February 2030 completion). The Omnibus IV Military Medical Research and Development IDIQ (Defense Health Agency, awarded June 2022, through June 2032) generates the highest task-order volume under a single customer—five task orders totaling $63.2 million—spanning health sciences award management, research portfolio management, clinical research support, and biopsychosocial research. Recent Omnibus IV deliveries include a $26.3 million health sciences award management order (March 2026–February 2031, Frederick, Maryland and Falls Church, Virginia, Total Small Business set-aside), a $25.4 million research portfolio management order (March 2024–February 2029, Woman-Owned Small Business set-aside), a $7.9 million clinical research support order at Travis Air Force Base (September 2024–November 2029), and a $3.54 million biopsychosocial research and analysis order at Lewis-McChord, Washington (November 2024–November 2029, Cost Plus Fixed Fee). Knowesis also holds a $249 million Air Force Basic Ordering Agreement for artificial intelligence talent acquisition (awarded May 2023, through May 2028, total small business set-aside), with performance spanning Air Force locations. The Multiple Award Schedule generates 13 task orders and $551.7 million combined potential value, including a $5.49 million delivery order from VA VISN 2 for research program support across New Jersey facilities (September 2025–September 2028, no set-aside).

Capability portfolio is grounded in research administration, data analytics, and health sciences support. Representative prime work includes a $13.48 million Competitive 8(a) CISA task order for foreign investment risk analysis under 8(a) STARS III (March 2026–March 2027, Arlington, Virginia, administrative modification brought fully funded); a $3.23 million Competitive 8(a) CISA order under the same vehicle for unspecified analytical support (September 2022–March 2026, Fairfax, Virginia); a $4.8 million DOD Inspector General 8(a) Sole Source contract for big data services (August 2021–March 2026, Alexandria, Virginia); a $4.5 million Army Medical Command 8(a) Sole Source contract for Army Public Health Center laboratory non-personal services (August 2021–October 2022, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland); and a $1.7 million DOD Inspector General 8(a) Sole Source contract for data analysis support (September 2021–March 2023, Alexandria, Virginia). Across Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Knowesis has delivered four data visualization and analytics task orders under a local $4.5 million IDIQ (total ceiling), issued September 2021 through August 2024, with individual orders ranging from $661 thousand to $1.13 million. Earlier work includes a $956 thousand VA contract for manual medical record data abstraction supporting the Defense and Veterans Eye Injury and Vision Registry (September 2021–August 2024, Silver Spring, Maryland, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside, requiring three full-time abstractors and one lead with minimum 98% accuracy and 300–400 records abstracted monthly).

SCI-reported invoicing of $27.7 million across FY2022–FY2024 (prime records) shows growth trajectory: $3.1 million in FY2022 across 40.8 FTEs, $13.5 million in FY2023 across 43.5 FTEs, and $11.1 million in FY2024 across 49.3 FTEs. The FTE count reflects federal services delivery; SCI data captures only contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold and excludes goods, products, and classified work. Government-paid hourly rates on federal services contracts run a median of $58.62 per hour, with senior labor pricing reaching $144.52 per hour (90th percentile) and junior roles as low as $32.07 per hour (10th percentile). GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 13 categories from Management Consultant 1 at $65.01 per hour through Health IT Consultant 6 at $186.85 per hour, with education requirements from high school through master's degree and no security clearance roles advertised.

Knowesis operates as a prime on 83 awards and as a subcontractor on 15 awards, indicating a primarily-prime posture with selective subcontracting. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors perform 21% of total contractor hours on average, with 11 distinct named subs reported over the three-year window. Named sub-primes include Booz Allen Hamilton (research, analysis, and development of military health system capabilities; medical capabilities and readiness consulting, appearing on multiple task orders September 2023–September 2025), Eagle Integrated Services (711th Human Performance Wing USAF School of Aerospace Medicine suicide risk analysis support, January 2022 and August 2025), Cherokee Insights (AESIR II data analytics support, appearing across multiple sub-awards October 2023–September 2023), and Agile Decision Sciences (military public health and force health protection administrative, analytical, and consulting support, April 2024 and May 2024).

Activity has moderated in the past two years. Award counts peaked at 12 in 2024 but dropped to 5 in 2025 and 2 so far in 2026 through the March 29 snapshot date. However, the two recent 2026 awards are substantial: the $26.3 million DHA health sciences order and the $3.23 million CISA foreign investment risk order, both extending through 2027–2031, indicating pipeline depth despite lower frequency. The recompete cliff over the next twenty-four months shows minimal exposure: only 3 awards with combined potential value of $7.2 million reach ultimate completion by mid-2028, suggesting the bulk of current revenue-generating vehicles (Omnibus IV, OASIS+ awards, MAS) carry completion dates between 2029 and 2032.
