Metropolitan Group, L.l.c

Metropolitan Group, L.L.C. (doing business as Metropolitan Group The Power Of Voice LLC), a for-profit limited liability partnership based in Portland, Oregon, delivers strategic consulting, stakeholder engagement facilitation, organizational development, and equity-assessment services to civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal supply schedules, with recent growth in subcontractor roles supporting organizational transformation and international development work.

Metropolitan Group competes exclusively in full-and-open procurement with no SBA set-aside designations characterizing its prime footprint, though two delivery orders (totaling $245 thousand in combined potential value) carried total small business set-asides. The vendor's federal customer base is heavily concentrated in environmental and natural-resource agencies. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions and the Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region account for 20 awards (55% of the top-tier customer count) and $6 million in combined potential value, while NASA Shared Services Center and NASA Headquarters together carry 12 awards and $4 million. The Environmental Protection Agency and Fish and Wildlife Service round out the active civilian roster. Notably, the top-customer rankings by count and dollar value diverge: the single largest award is a $5 million Department of Agriculture Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station contract, which dominates the potential-value ranking despite representing only one award. Metropolitan Group has served 25 distinct federal agencies across recent activity.

The vendor's capability footprint centers on strategic communication, facilitation, equity and environmental-justice assessments, workforce diversity and modernization strategy, and stakeholder engagement. Representative prime work includes a $2.36 million Forest Service BPA call for strengthening workforce diversity and modernizing recreation programs in the Pacific Southwest Region (completed January 2025), a $399 thousand Forest Service delivery order for strategic forest-health protection vision and program support (September 2024), a $348 thousand Smithsonian Institution definitive contract for consultant services supporting the Center for Environmental Justice at the Anacostia Community Museum (completed June 2026), and a $2.03 million Fish and Wildlife Service BPA call for Phase II of the North Star Plan combining facilitation, stakeholder engagement, and organizational development (completed June 2024). Recent smaller awards span biodiversity conservation initiatives, equity assessments, and speaker programming for federal equity-bridge programs.

All 52 task orders placing Metropolitan Group's work land under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule as the parent vehicle, with an additional 16 task orders under the Professional Services Schedule. The vendor's GSA labor portfolio spans 16 active categories from clerical staff at $53.41 per hour through creative director and president roles at $402.92 and $426.35 per hour respectively, with no security-cleared positions offered. Education requirements range from associate through master's degrees; experience thresholds scale from one year for entry roles to twenty years for senior principal positions. Service Contract Inventory data captures $2.6 million in SCI-reportable invoiced revenue across federal service contracts above the $150 thousand threshold during FY2022–FY2023, with 3.1 FTEs delivered in FY2023 and declining to 0.9 FTEs in FY2024 as subcontractor engagement increased. Median government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ran around $199 per hour, with senior labor pricing through $306 per hour.

Metropolitan Group operates primarily as a prime contractor (78% of recent awards) but has expanded subcontractor activity in the past two years, delivering organizational transformation and strategic communications support under Deloitte Consulting LLP on EPA and multi-agency mission-support work, and providing communications expertise and social-behavior-change messaging under Cloudburst Consulting Group, Inc. on USAID democracy, rights, and governance learning and evaluation initiatives since 2022. Additional subcontractor relationships include work with Eastern Research Group Inc. on EPA alternative-dispute-resolution facilitation and with Industrial Economics Inc. on environmental-justice and equity-impact support. Only two awards face completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $500 thousand), presenting minimal recompete pressure in the immediate window.
