Meddata Research, Inc.

Meddata Research, Inc., a woman-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Walkersville, Maryland, operates as a prime contractor delivering professional and technical services to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), with no subcontract activity in the source record and all 146 recent awards issued as prime contracts. The vendor competes full-and-open on federal vehicles and holds no set-aside designations across its award footprint.

Meddata's customer base is heavily concentrated within NIH. The top four funding entities account for approximately 80% of recent awards, with the NIH Office of the Chief Operating Officer leading at 85 awards worth $17.4 million in combined potential value, followed by the NIH Clinical Center (26 awards, $4.5 million), the NIH Office of the Director (3 awards, $2.5 million), and a single GSA Federal Acquisition Service award ($800 thousand). The dollar distribution tracks the award count — OCCO dominates both volume and value — indicating sustained, stable engagement rather than concentration in a few large-dollar vehicles. The vendor's work classifies primarily under All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (109 awards) and Custom Computer Programming Services (24 awards), with PSC coding split between Support-Professional: Other (98 awards) and R&D-Defense Other: Services (12 awards).

Meddata's delivery vehicle position sits on five NIH IDICs. The largest is Indefinite Delivery Contract HHSN263200500023I, which anchors 21 task orders worth $49.2 million in combined potential value — substantially the vendor's largest single vehicle. Three additional IDICs carry task-order loads of 76, 31, and 2 orders respectively, with combined potential values of $7.3 million, $2 million, and $994 thousand. The most recent named award is a $1,027,240 firm fixed-price delivery order from the NIH Clinical Center, issued April 1, 2023, for Information Engineer II services under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule covering option years 2 and 3 through March 31, 2027.

Activity trajectory shows sharp decline. The vendor received 18 awards in 2014, 7 in 2015, 8 in 2016, 2 in 2017, and 1 in 2023, with no awards recorded in 2024 or 2025. One award carries an ultimate completion date inside the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $1 million), presenting minimal recompete exposure in the near term. Combined potential value across all 146 awards totals $78.1 million, though only $14.9 million (19%) has been obligated, indicating a large and aging inventory of unexercised options and task orders.

On the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, Meddata offers 18 unique labor categories spanning Research Assistant II at $30.59 per hour through Senior Level Scientist V at $179.62 per hour, with educational requirements from associates to master's degrees and no security-cleared positions. The rate spectrum covers junior programmers and scientists in the $50–$75 range, mid-career engineers and analysts in the $100–$130 range, and senior scientific roles above $175 per hour. Service Contract Inventory captures only one SCI record across the source period (FY2022), valued above the $150,000 reporting threshold and recorded as a named subcontract, showing 0.6 FTEs on federal service contracts that fiscal year — a data signal consistent with a vendor whose federal work is dominated by task orders and delivery orders rather than direct service contracts.
