National Consulting Partners LLC

National Consulting Partners LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and Veteran-Owned Small Business based in Woodbridge, Virginia, operates as a subcontractor (74% of awards) and prime contractor across federal IT consulting, health IT, data analytics, and defense systems engineering work. The company holds VOSB and SDVOSB certifications expiring February 18, 2027, and carries three named subsidiaries (Stronghold Federal LLC, ONC Technology Partners LLC, and Intellixpoint LLC), all structured as SDVOSB and VOSB joint ventures. NCP competes predominantly full-and-open rather than under set-aside vehicles, though individual delivery orders may carry small-business or SDVOSB set-asides.

NCP's recent prime footprint centers on two anchor vehicles with divergent scope and scale. The Missile Defense Agency awarded NCP a $151 billion Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract on December 29, 2025, running through December 28, 2035, for multi-domain defense systems work encompassing research, prototyping, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, and modernization across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid domains at various security classification levels. NASA awarded NCP a seat on SEWP VI, a $20 billion multiple-award Government-Wide Acquisition Contract effective November 1, 2026, through October 31, 2036, for government-wide information technology products and services delivery under partial small-business set-aside. On the NASA vehicle, NCP faces no specified task-order pipeline in the source; SHIELD's only visible task order to date is a $500 firm-fixed-price delivery order issued December 29, 2025, with completion targeted for June 29, 2026.

NCP's secondary prime presence sits on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (awarded March 14, 2023, through March 13, 2028) with a $500 thousand ceiling and 32 labor categories spanning IT professional services, management and financial consulting, health IT services, and order-level materials, priced from $73.33/hr junior roles through $366.76/hr senior labor—all bachelor's degree required, no cleared positions. That GSA Schedule has anchored two sizable delivery orders: a $15.4 million total-small-business delivery order from the NIH Office of the Director for professional and scientific support to the Office of Science Policy (awarded September 15, 2026, completing September 14, 2031) and a $2.27 million delivery order from the same agency (awarded October 13, 2026, completing July 12, 2027). The VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick issued a $5.35 million SDVOSB-set-aside delivery order against the GSA Schedule on September 28, 2023, for the VA Telecritical Care Advanced Analytics & Machine Learning Project (ultimate completion September 27, 2026).

NCP's subcontractor footprint is concentrated with International Business Machines Corporation and Govcio, LLC. NCP performs data analytics, permanent professional staffing, and systems transformation work under IBM on benefits transformation platform initiatives, pension optimization, and data extraction tasks (at least six sub-awards between April 2024 and November 2025). NCP delivers health services portfolio technical management and strategic solutioning support to Govcio on two sub-awards (August 2024, November 2024).

Customer concentration is extreme on a potential-value basis but fragmented by award count. NASA's $20 billion SHIELD and SEWP VI awards comprise 99.9% of combined potential value across all 27 awards (prime and sub combined), while the Department of Veterans Affairs accounts for 18 awards (67% of award count) split across the VA Technology Acquisition Center Austin and the Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick on VA-specific vehicles (13 task orders under Transformation Twenty-One Total Technology Next Generation and 5 under Veterans Intake, Conversion, and Communication Services). The NIH Office of the Director holds $17.7 million in combined potential value across two awards. Only $2.3 million in combined potential value reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure for the vendor.

SCI-reportable invoicing covers a limited slice of NCP's activity: $5.2 million across prime records (FY2024: $2.7 million on 7.0 FTEs; FY2025: $2.5 million on 4.1 FTEs), with government-paid median hourly rates on prime contracts around $183/hr and a 90th percentile reaching $273/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for 33% of total contractor hours, with two named subcontractors reported. The vendor's recent activity shows a sharp spike in 2021 (13 awards), then contraction through 2023–2024 (2–5 awards annually), followed by the November 2026 SEWP VI and SHIELD awards, which reset the potential-value baseline.
