About the company
Potomacwave, Inc., doing business as Potomacwave Consulting Inc., is an SBA-certified Women-Owned Small Business that sells federal procurement data solutions, program support services, and professional consulting to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor across full-and-open and WOSB set-aside vehicles. The company is headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, and operates as a Subchapter S Corporation. Potomacwave competes across 244 recent prime awards with combined potential value of $49.5 billion, serving 73 federal agencies with a 100% prime footprint — no sub-awarded work is present in the source.
The vendor's customer concentration is severe and anchored by one massive outlier. The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Coast Guard dominates both volume and dollars, holding 54 awards worth $11.24 billion combined potential value (23% of total awards, 23% of total potential value). The Federal Emergency Management Agency and its Mitigation Section together account for 44 awards worth $216.9 million. GSA Federal Acquisition Service, the Defense Health Agency, and the Department of the Treasury round out the top five customer agencies by potential value; the Defense Health Agency holds just 5 awards but carries a $10.02 billion ceiling on its Omnibus IV IDIQ. The top five customers by potential value account for 46% of Potomacwave's combined potential value. USCG's dominance across both award count and dollars suggests a primary-customer relationship rather than diversified federal civilian sales.
Potomacwave's capability portfolio centers on Federal Procurement Data System-Next Generation (FPDS-NG) data validation, contractor responsibility assessment tools, automated data monitoring and reporting, and program management support services delivered across multiple federal agencies. Representative work includes a $9.544 million FEMA BPA call awarded September 15, 2026, for streamlining recovery programs through September 2027; a $3.079 million VA Strategic Acquisition Center delivery order for FPDS-NG data validation and quality improvement services through June 2030; a $2.896 million Department of State sole-source WOSB award for automated FPDS-NG error detection and contractor responsibility verification through November 2028; a $10.084 million Defense Health Agency Total Small Business delivery order for acquisition product support and IT project management through August 2028; and a $1.354 million Treasury Department delivery order for automated data monitoring and reporting through September 2031. Work spans data analytics, federal procurement process optimization, management consulting, and operational strategy support.
Potomacwave holds seats on five major governmentwide vehicles: SEWP VI (a $20 billion NASA IT GWAC awarded November 2026), the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (181 task orders worth $1.73 billion, the largest parent vehicle), the OASIS+ Women-Owned Small Business IDIQ (awarded June 2025, through June 2030), the OASIS+ Total Small Business IDIQ (awarded December 2024, through December 2029), and the OASIS+ Unrestricted IDIQ (awarded December 2024, through December 2029). All three OASIS+ seats carry the $999,999,999,999 placeholder ceiling typical of that vehicle family. Potomacwave also holds a $21.389 million single-award FEMA BPA for program support and workforce development (through April 2027), a $1.085 million Department of Commerce BPA for FPDS-NG automated data validation (through February 2028), a $2.9 million Coast Guard BPA for NPFC claims surge support (through September 2026), and a $10 billion Omnibus IV Military Medical Research and Development IDIQ from the Defense Health Agency (through June 2032). The Omnibus IV ceiling and the SEWP VI ceiling represent the two largest potential-value holdings in Potomacwave's IDV portfolio.
GSA Schedule labor rates span 33 categories from $60.00 per hour for entry-level technology analyst roles through $457.81 per hour for senior program director positions, with mid-level consulting and management labor ($90–$170/hr) predominating the portfolio. No security-cleared positions are offered. Representative mid-spectrum categories include Technology Consultant II at $90/hr, Mid-level Consultant II at $115/hr, Manager at $127.52/hr, and Technical Expert I at $166.61/hr, all requiring bachelor's degrees and 2–5 years of experience.
Service Contract Inventory data shows SCI-reported invoicing of $131.4 million across FY2022–FY2025, with government-paid labor rates on prime contracts at a median of $117.40/hr (10th percentile $6.55/hr, 90th percentile $403.61/hr). FTE trajectory declined from 127 FTEs in FY2022 to 63.6 FTEs in FY2025. Potomacwave performs roughly 84 percent of work in-house across SCI-reportable prime contracts, with 16 percent of contractor hours performed by 74 named subcontractors — indicating the vendor builds its own delivery teams for the majority of engagements but brings specialized subs into select high-complexity or overflow-capacity scenarios.
Activity trajectory was relatively stable over the past five years (15 awards in 2022, rising to 19 in 2024, then softening to 11 in 2026 and 9 in 2025), though the 2026 figure reflects only the first two months of the fiscal year. Twenty-one awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $174.5 million, establishing a moderate recompete cliff.
Potomacwave competes predominantly in full-and-open categories with unrestricted GSA vehicles alongside its WOSB set-aside posture on OASIS+ and agency-specific BPAs. The vendor does not operate as a subcontractor to other primes — all 244 awards in the source are prime awards held by Potomacwave directly.
