Open Intelligence, LLC

Open Intelligence, LLC, a Raleigh, North Carolina-based for-profit limited liability company, provides application development, modernization, and IT infrastructure support services to federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards), with nearly complete customer concentration on the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences at the National Institutes of Health. The vendor operates predominantly under small-business set-asides on its core NIEHS work and competes full-and-open on GSA Schedule delivery orders and non-set-aside task orders.

Open Intelligence's customer footprint is essentially singular: 23 of 28 total awards (82% by count, 89% by combined potential value of $15.5 million) fund NIEHS programs, with secondary engagement at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (two awards, $748 thousand) and minimal exposure to GSA and the NIH Office of the Director. This concentration reflects Open Intelligence's sustained engagement on the Grants Application Development System (GADS), a web-based grants management platform that anchors the vendor's entire prime portfolio. Representative work includes a $510.6 thousand firm fixed-price BPA call for GADS operations and maintenance support (March 2025–March 2026, total small business set-aside), a $497.6 thousand total small business set-aside call covering March 2026–March 2027, a $493.6 thousand BPA call from NIEHS for application development, modernization, and enhancement services under GADS-4 (August 2026–August 2027, small business set-aside), and a $691.1 thousand labor-hour delivery order from the NIH Office of the Director for the Program Operations, Review, Tracking, Applications, and Logistics (PORTAL) initiative under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (April 2026–April 2027, full-and-open).

Open Intelligence holds three parent vehicles: an NIEHS Indefinite Delivery contract (75N96019D00015) supporting 19 task orders ($7.3 million combined potential value), a $3 million single-award BPA under the Multiple Award Schedule for GADS IT support services (total small business set-aside, March 2025–March 2030), and a $500 thousand GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract for Professional Information Technology Services (October 2024–October 2029, no set-aside). The GSA Schedule carries eight labor categories spanning IT Application Developers I–III, IT Business Analysts I–III, IT Program Manager I, and IT Web Developer I, with rates from $77.68 to $199.58 per hour, all requiring a bachelor's degree and ranging from one to ten years of experience; no security-cleared roles are offered. Task orders under the Schedule include the PORTAL delivery order noted above.

Activity has been flat to declining: three awards per year in 2022–2023, two in 2024, then modest uptick to four in 2025 and two in 2026. Three awards (combined potential value $1.7 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating moderate recompete exposure centered on GADS continuation and renewal. Service Contract Inventory data shows minimal federal invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2025 at the $150 thousand reporting threshold, with FTE delivery under 1.0 across all years — a signal that Open Intelligence's business model centers on smaller fixed-price development and labor-hour task orders rather than large ongoing staffing contracts. The vendor operates as a prime across its entire active portfolio (27 of 28 awards); its one subcontract award (July 2024) is a sub engagement with JS Technology, Inc. on agile software development and design services for the NIH Office of Extramural Research Enterprise Grants Management System.

Open Intelligence's capability framing is narrow and deep: grants management platform development and modernization, IT application support, data analytics, and infrastructure engineering focused exclusively on federal research administration. The vendor's customer concentration on NIEHS GADS work and its single-award BPA structure signal a capture-and-hold strategy on a legacy mission-critical system rather than broad market expansion. SAM.gov registration dates to 2007, but award velocity and vehicle portfolio suggest Open Intelligence operates as a specialist vendor to NIEHS rather than a broad federal contractor.
