Mdb, Inc.

Mdb, Inc., doing business as Michael D. Baker Inc., is a small business prime contractor based in Washington, D.C., that delivers environmental health research support, workforce training, technical communication, conference planning, and administrative consulting services to federal agencies predominantly through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and agency-specific indefinite delivery vehicles. The vendor competes across both set-aside and full-and-open vehicles, with a recent shift toward Total Small Business set-asides anchoring new IDIQ positions.

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences dominates Mdb's customer footprint at 87% of awards (424 awards, $775.1 million combined potential value), anchoring the vendor's federal presence through deep institutional relationships spanning worker training, research program support, scientific communication, and conference logistics. The Department of Health and Human Services Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations, the GSA Federal Acquisition Service, the Environmental Protection Agency Office of Water, and the National Cancer Institute round out the active customer set. The concentration is stark: NIEHS work comprises 78 percent of the prime contracting footprint, with EPA and other NIH institutes representing secondary exposure. Within NIEHS, Mdb holds a $10 million single-award Worker Training Program IDIQ (ultimate completion August 2028), a $9.7 million single-award BPA for technical, logistics, and administrative support (completing August 2027), and a zero-ceiling single-award BPA for Superfund Research Program communication and information transfer (completing September 2027). Recent awards include a $1.19 million time-and-materials delivery order for Worker Training Program services in Durham, North Carolina (completion September 2026); a $1.076 million firm fixed-price call for Climate Change Health Initiative support (completion September 2025); and a $1.177 million delivery order for Worker Training Program and grant-recipient support including web-based information management (completion August 2027).

Beyond NIEHS, Mdb holds a $100 million single-award IDIQ with the NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations for conference and administrative travel services (completion November 2029), a $2 billion multiple-award vehicle position under the Procurement of Research Evaluation and Statistics Task Orders (PRESTO) program at the Institute of Education Sciences (completion February 2028), and a $1 million partial small-business-set-aside BPA with the EPA Office of Water for technical evaluation and market assessment support of water conservation and reuse programs (completion September 2030). Most recently, Mdb was awarded a position on the OASIS+ Total Small Business Multiple Award IDIQ on December 19, 2024 (completion December 2029), a government-wide vehicle spanning management and advisory, technical and engineering, research and development, intelligence services, environmental services, facilities, and logistics functional domains.

Activity trends show concentration in the 2022–2024 period (30, 24, and 27 awards respectively) with a marked decline in 2025–2026 (10 and 8 awards). The vendor's vehicle footprint centers on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (427 task orders, $740.9 million potential value) and the Professional Services Schedule (274 task orders, $17.3 million potential value), with NIEHS-specific IDIQs anchoring the dollar value. Only eight awards (combined potential value $4.3 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited recompete urgency in the near term; NIEHS IDIQs extending through 2027–2029 represent the renewal exposure window. Mdb operates under NAICS 541611 (administrative management and general management consulting services) with secondary exposure in environmental consulting (NAICS 541620), and maintains 78 active GSA Schedule labor categories ranging from $68.57 to $481.13 per hour across analyst, consultant, scientist, project manager, and senior strategic roles. No security-cleared positions are offered.

Service Contract Inventory data for FY2022–FY2024 show $9.5 million in invoiced prime revenue across roughly 10 FTEs annually, with median government-paid hourly rates around $150.94 per hour and rates spanning from $38.65 to $290.83 per hour across the spectrum. SCI-reported FY2024 invoicing reached $4.9 million across 9.6 FTEs. The vendor self-performs delivery across SCI-reportable prime contracts with zero subcontractor hour engagement. In its subcontractor role, Mdb supplies environmental collaboration, conflict resolution, community engagement, and technical program support to Eastern Research Group and General Dynamics Information Technology on EPA water and environmental justice initiatives since 2022. The vendor operates as a classic NIEHS-anchored prime, with 98 percent of awards in prime posture and a two-percent sub footprint routed primarily through EPA vehicles where larger integrators (ERG, GDIT) act as prime.
