PFM Group Consulting LLC

PFM Group Consulting LLC, doing business as Public Financial Management Inc., is a Philadelphia-based for-profit limited liability company that delivers public sector management consulting and technical assistance as a federal grant recipient and subrecipient, with no prime contract awards. The vendor's federal footprint consists entirely of grant work — two prime cooperative agreements with the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Community Compass technical assistance and capacity building program (awarded September 2021, ultimate completion dates September 2026 and September 2027), and two subrecipient grants under Michigan State University as the prime grantee related to law enforcement staffing and workload allocation methodology research funded by the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs and the Community Oriented Policing Program.

PFM's capability portfolio, as evidenced by the grant work, centers on public financial management, public sector organizational design, police staffing and workload assessment, and research-backed methodology development for government agencies. Recent sub-award work includes co-developing a first-line patrol supervisor workload allocation methodology using CAD data and structured logbook surveys across multiple police departments, and creating allocation models and work schedule simulations to support law enforcement resource planning — work performed as a subrecipient to Michigan State University on grants spanning 2025 and 2026. The vendor serves three federal agencies across four total awards (two prime, two sub) with combined dollars obligated of $1.9 million. Activity is sparse and episodic — two awards in 2021, one in 2025, one in 2026 — with no seat on government-wide contract vehicles or standing IDIQs. The vendor operates exclusively in the grant and cooperative agreement space, with no federal contracting infrastructure or parent vehicle positioning.
