Metropolitan Group, L.l.c

Metropolitan Group, L.L.C., doing business as Metropolitan Group The Power Of Voice LLC, is a Portland, Oregon–based for-profit limited liability company that provides strategic consulting, stakeholder engagement facilitation, and organizational development services to civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor (78% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on larger transformation and research initiatives. The vendor competes under full-and-open procurement — no set-aside designations appear in its recent federal award footprint — and operates primarily through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule with a labor portfolio spanning clerical through executive-level roles at $53 to $426 per hour, anchored by project management and creative direction capacity.

Metropolitan Group's federal customer base concentrates in environmental stewardship and research agencies. The top five customer agencies by award count (55% coverage) are the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions (12 awards, $2.8 million combined potential value), the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 6—Pacific Northwest (8 awards, $3.2 million), NASA Shared Services Center (8 awards, $2.1 million), NASA Headquarters (5 awards, $2.3 million), and the Environmental Protection Agency (3 awards). By potential value, the rankings shift: a single Department of Agriculture Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station contract anchors $5 million, but the second and third tiers align with the volume ranking — USDA Region 6 and Washington Office together represent $6 million. This concentration in USDA and NASA reflects Metropolitan Group's core capability set around conservation, environmental justice, biodiversity, and climate adaptation initiatives.

Metropolitan Group places 52 task orders on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule with $21.7 million combined potential value, and 16 on the Professional Services Schedule with $8.9 million. Recent representative prime work includes a $2.36 million Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region contract (awarded June 2023, extending through January 2025) for strategic consulting on workforce diversity and recreation program modernization; a $2.03 million Fish and Wildlife Service BPA call for Phase II of the North Star Plan (awarded August 2022, completed June 2024) for facilitation and stakeholder engagement; a $399 thousand Forest Service delivery order (September 2024) for a strategic vision supporting forest health protection; a $349 thousand NASA Shared Services Center purchase order (October 2026) for landscape analysis and stakeholder engagement spanning NASA's Earth Science Division Disasters Program and BEACON regional hub; and a $250 thousand Shared Services Center delivery order (January 2026) for the Western Water Initiative reformulation and prototyping. The vendor's NAICS profile reflects this mission-alignment posture: 46 of 65 awards carry NAICS 541611 (Marketing Research and Public Opinion Polling), with secondary activity under Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (12 awards).

Activity has accelerated recently — three awards in 2023 to fifteen in 2024, with a modest two awards recorded in 2026 to date — though the recompete cliff shows minimal near-term exposure, with only two awards (combined potential value $599 thousand) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. Across SCI-reportable service contracts (a partial federal services view), Metropolitan Group invoiced $2.6 million from FY2022 through FY2025, peaking at $1.9 million in FY2023 across 3.1 FTEs, then declining to sub-million levels in FY2024 and FY2025 (0.9 and 1.1 FTEs respectively). Government-paid hourly rates on SCI prime contracts ran a median of $199.11 per hour, with the 90th percentile reaching $306.49 per hour, consistent with the GSA Schedule senior-consultant and creative-leadership pricing tiers. The vendor operates as a full-delivery prime on its core customer work — across SCI prime contracts, subcontractors perform zero percent of total contractor hours — but also subcontracts to larger consulting primes. Recent sub-award partners include Deloitte Consulting LLP (three awards from September 2024 through December 2024 on EPA Office of Environmental Justice and Civil Rights Strategic Organizational Transformation Mission Support), Cloudburst Consulting Group, Inc. (multiple awards from May 2022 through November 2024 on USAID democracy and governance learning activities), and Eastern Research Group Inc. (alternative dispute resolution and facilitation support to EPA's Office of Water through 2023).
