Morgan, Scott W

Morgan, Scott W, doing business as The Morgan Group, a Washington, D.C.-based sole proprietor, delivers science communication coaching and training services to federal research institutions exclusively as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders, with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

The Morgan Group specializes in practical presentation and communication skills training for postdoctoral fellows and early-career researchers at the National Institutes of Health. Work includes five-minute scientific talks workshops, oral presentation coaching for both scientific and lay audiences, elevator pitch training, plain language communication instruction, and support for non-native English speakers. Representative awards include a $119.6 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) dated January 21, 2022, to provide hands-on training workshops and individual coaching sessions to fellows in the Cancer Prevention Fellowship Program through January 20, 2027; a $38 thousand total small business award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) dated April 25, 2023, for training and workshops through April 24, 2026; and a $17 thousand purchase order from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) dated September 27, 2024, for science communication coaching services to postdoctoral fellows and researchers.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed to NIH. The top five customer agencies account for 71% of recent awards by count and 73% by potential value, with NCI (8 awards, $264 thousand combined potential value) and NICHD (13 awards, $211 thousand combined potential value) dominating the portfolio. NIMH, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, and the Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations round out the active set. All awards are purchase orders under full-and-open competition with no subcontractor activity; The Morgan Group holds no parent contract vehicles or IDVs.

Award activity has declined in recent years — two awards in 2022, three in 2023, two in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — against a historical baseline of 42 total awards since 2005 and a combined potential value of $794 thousand with $723 thousand obligated. Two awards with combined potential value of $136 thousand face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months and therefore open recompete opportunity in that window. The vendor's work is classified primarily under NAICS All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction (14 awards) and All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (12 awards), with PSC Support–Professional: Other (20 awards) anchoring the procurement coding.
