Mullenlowe US Inc.

Mullenlowe US Inc., a division of Interpublic Group of Companies headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, is a full-and-open competitive advertising and marketing communications prime contractor delivering integrated federal marketing services—brand planning, paid media placement, direct marketing, interactive marketing, creative asset development, and public relations support—exclusively to the Department of Defense on a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $454.6 million through September 2029.

Mullenlowe operates as a pure prime contractor (100% of recent awards), competing under full-and-open procurement with no set-aside designations. The vendor carries no SBA certifications and is structured as a for-profit corporate entity. The company's federal footprint is heavily concentrated: the Defense Human Resources Activity accounts for 184 awards and $1.51 billion of the vendor's combined potential value across 265 total prime awards spanning fiscal years 2002 through 2026. The second-highest customer by dollar value is the Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration with two awards totaling $390.3 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of the Army Headquarters Office of the Secretary with fourteen awards worth $272.1 million. This concentration around DHRA is acute—DHRA represents approximately 69% of the vendor's combined potential value and 98% of recent award count.

Mullenlowe's federal work flows through five IDIQs. The primary vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract DASW0102D0002 (90 task orders, $60.4 million combined potential value), followed by W91WAW07D0012 (76 task orders, $125.9 million), H9821013D0001 (50 task orders, $124.1 million), H9821019D0001 (27 task orders, $212.6 million), and H9821023D0004 (14 task orders, $195.6 million). Recent delivery-order activity under the DHRA single-award IDC illustrates the scope: a $30.5 million delivery order for media placement support services awarded March 16, 2026; a $13.9 million order for interactive marketing support services dated March 3, 2026; a $9.6 million order for direct marketing support services also dated March 3, 2026; and a $33.5 million order for paid media support and marketing communications media placement awarded March 14, 2025. Place of performance spans Kingstowne, Virginia (primary), Boston, Massachusetts, and Alexandria, Virginia.

Award velocity has remained modest and flat: five awards in both 2023 and 2024, and five in 2025, with three awards recorded year-to-date in 2026. Recompete exposure within the next twenty-four months is limited: three awards totaling $54.1 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion inside that window. The vendor operates as a self-performing prime with no subcontractor engagement—across SCI-reportable prime service contracts, zero percent of contractor hours were subcontracted. SCI-reported invoicing grew from $4.9 million in FY2022 across 9.5 FTEs to $7.6 million in FY2024 across 17.8 FTEs, indicating modest federal services growth. On federal service contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates run around $212.83 per hour, with pricing ranging from the 10th percentile at $180.73 per hour to the 90th percentile at $287.38 per hour. The SCI dataset covers service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold and represents a subset of the vendor's total federal revenue and a smaller fraction of enterprise-wide revenue.
