Prenax Inc.

Prenax Inc., a foreign-owned small business headquartered in Concord, New Hampshire, procures and manages subscription-based information resources — including journals, databases, e-books, and serials management solutions — for federal agencies as a prime contractor across 377 awards totaling $523.7 million in combined potential value. The company operates predominantly without subcontractor engagement, self-performing across its federal portfolio.

Prenax's customer concentration skews heavily toward health and human services agencies. The top five funding agencies account for 53% of combined potential value, led by the National Institutes of Health Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (38 awards, $104.3 million), the Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center Austin (10 awards, $76 million), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh (16 awards, $33.2 million), the Food and Drug Administration (136 awards, $32.1 million), and the International Development Finance Corporation (6 awards, $30.7 million). Award-count concentration tells a different story: FDA dominates volume with 136 awards but lower per-award values, while NIH-OLAAO anchors most of the dollar value with fewer, larger orders. Prenax also maintains active relationships with the Department of the Treasury, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Defense, and the Coast Guard, among others.

Prenax's vehicle position centers on three pillars. The GSA Publication Media schedule carries 306 task orders valued at $50.7 million and is the vendor's highest-volume delivery channel. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule accounts for 36 task orders and $88.1 million in combined potential value. An HHS-HHSN263201400015I indefinite-delivery vehicle generated 36 task orders worth $43.5 million. Additionally, Prenax holds a recently awarded $24 million single-award BPA with the International Development Finance Corporation running through April 2036, a $49 million plus $52.97 million VA Technology Acquisition Center definitive contract for Lippincott Williams & Wilkins and British Medical Journal subscription access (ultimate completion June 24, 2027), a $14.6 million U.S. Patent and Trademark Office definitive contract for library subscription management and monographic services (through December 31, 2030), and multiple Treasury and State Department serial management IDIQs and BPAs. The company also holds significant delivery orders under a Defense Health Agency $27.6 million order for medical journal access and has placed work across Navy, Army, and Air Force commands.

Recent activity has declined modestly from 2023 peaks but remains substantial: 26 awards in 2022, 19 in 2023, 22 in 2024, 14 in 2025, and 22 to date in 2026. Twelve awards with ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $64.8 million, creating recompete exposure for Prenax and recompete opportunity for competitors on its largest vehicles.

Prenax's award portfolio skews toward library and periodicals work. The leading NAICS codes reflect this: 216 awards cite Periodical Publishers; 49 cite Internet Publishing and Broadcasting and Web Search Portals; 38 cite All Other Information Services. PSC codes align: Support–Administrative: Library claims 168 awards; Newspapers and Periodicals, 75; Books and Pamphlets, 63. The vendor has diversified slightly into IT platforms and SaaS, with 14 awards each in Application Development Software as a Service and Platform as a Service (Database, Mainframe, Middleware), but the core remains information resource aggregation and resale.

On SCI-reported federal service contracts, Prenax invoiced $29.9 million across FY2022–FY2025, with the largest single year in FY2022 at $11.8 million. FY2025 shows $9.1 million invoiced across 2.3 FTEs, a jump from near-zero FTE reporting in FY2023 and FY2024 — likely reflecting ramp-up on larger labor-intensive vehicles or a methodological shift in FTE attribution. SCI-reported hourly rates on government-paid labor span widely: median around $19,115/hr, with senior roles priced through $101,220/hr and lower-quartile rates near $4,922/hr, consistent with a vendor operating as a subscription and information-services reseller with minimal direct labor delivery. Prenax self-performs across all SCI-reported prime records; no named subcontractor engagement appears in the SCI dataset.

One sub-award is recorded: Prenax delivered journal subscriptions to Mission Support & Test Services LLC as a sub on a DOE National Nuclear Security Administration Nevada National Security Site management contract (January 7, 2026), a minor outlier in an otherwise prime-only footprint. Set-aside posture across the portfolio is mixed. Small business set-asides (Total Small Business) appear on roughly 40% of recent awards; the remainder compete full-and-open. The vendor qualifies as a foreign-owned small business and holds no 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or other minority-owned designation on record.
