Guidehouse LLP

Guidehouse LLP, operating as PricewaterhouseCoopers Public Sector, is a global professional services firm headquartered in McLean, Virginia, that delivers management consulting, technology implementation, financial advisory, cybersecurity, and program management services to federal agencies primarily as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards). The vendor competes full-and-open across all major civilian agencies and does not hold SBA set-aside certifications.

The vendor's federal capability portfolio spans identity and credential management (HSPD-12 enrollment, credential systems, and federal employee vetting), financial systems support and consulting (including emergency financial response like CARES Act implementation and ERP lifecycle support), organizational assessments and change management, program management and acquisition lifecycle support, cybersecurity engineering and operations, data analytics and business process improvement, and healthcare supply chain and pharmaceutical management. Representative prime work includes a $158 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the Department of Homeland Security's Chief Security Officer for HSPD-12 identity enrollment and credential management solutions (award date January 10, 2023, performance through January 9, 2033); a $12 billion single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the Air Force Materiel Command for systems engineering and integration support (award date March 7, 2024, performance through September 7, 2042); a $2.2 billion multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract with the U.S. Agency for International Development for comprehensive technical assistance in health supply chain and pharmaceutical management (award date January 8, 2024, performance through January 7, 2034); a $351.2 million BPA call with the Department of Justice for cybersecurity engineering, operations, and identity credential and access management services (award date October 28, 2021, performance through February 28, 2028); a $57.7 million BPA call with the Department of Veterans Affairs for market area health system optimization (award date November 9, 2021, performance through September 30, 2024); and a $37.3 million delivery order with the Small Business Administration for COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan call center customer support (award date December 31, 2021, performance through August 26, 2022).

Customer concentration is broad across the federal government. The top five agencies by potential value account for 10% of combined potential value and include the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Construction and Facilities Management ($1.23 billion across 17 awards), the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security ($577.2 million across 13 awards), the Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick ($488.4 million across 14 awards), the Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration ($140.8 million across 34 awards), and the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration ($127.2 million across 19 awards). By volume, the Federal Emergency Management Agency Support Services Section leads with 47 awards ($67.2 million combined potential value), followed by HHS National Institutes of Health Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (40 awards, $82.4 million), the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 Headquarters (38 awards, $13.3 million), HHS Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh (35 awards, $94.7 million), and HHS Food and Drug Administration (34 awards, $140.8 million).

Guidehouse places the majority of its task orders under two parent vehicles: the Mission Oriented Business Integrated Services (MOBIS) government-wide acquisition contract, where it holds 357 task orders with $2.64 billion combined potential value, and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, where it holds 240 task orders with $3.17 billion combined potential value. Additional vehicle positions include the Financial and Business Solutions–Legacy GWAC (92 task orders, $477.7 million), the Information Technology Schedule 70 (54 task orders, $148 million), and the NIH Wide Business and Professional Support Services vehicle (40 task orders, $84.2 million).

Activity has remained relatively steady at 13 to 28 awards per year over the past five years, with a combined potential value of $25.66 billion across 856 total awards (prime and sub) and 165 distinct customer agencies. The vendor faces $963.6 million in combined potential value across 20 awards with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, exposing material recompete risk in the near term, particularly across HSPD-12 and VA healthcare system optimization work.

Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts, Guidehouse invoiced $753.6 million in total over fiscal years 2022–2025: $318.9 million in FY2022 (858 FTEs on contract), $141.1 million in FY2023 (46,780 FTEs reported, indicating potential data aggregation or sub-flow-through effects), $143.5 million in FY2024 (739 FTEs), and $150.1 million in FY2025 (462 FTEs). Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $9.29/hr (typical of pass-through or high-sub-engagement work) to a median of $152.86/hr and a 90th percentile of $269.22/hr, reflecting a broad mix of junior-labor commodity work and senior professional services. Across prime SCI contracts, subcontractors accounted for an average of 9% of total contractor hours, with 78 named subcontractors reported. The vendor primarily self-performs delivery but maintains selective subcontractor engagement for specialized technical capabilities.

The vendor subcontracts to major defense and IT systems primes including Intrepid LLC (financial management and ERP lifecycle support for Army and Navy GFEBS and healthcare systems), BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services (Army open-source intelligence office support), Oracle Health Government Services (VA electronic health record modernization and change management), HII Mission Technologies (F-35 Lightning II joint program office financial and affordability analysis), Deloitte & Touche (Air Force financial management and affordability reporting), Accenture Federal Services (Secure Flight adaptive maintenance), General Dynamics Information Technology (program management and hiring center support), Salient CRGT (director-level support services), and Energy Technology Alliance (Department of Energy building technologies office technical support). This sub-positioning is limited relative to the vendor's prime footprint; sub work represents roughly 5% of tracked awards and often carries specialty technical scopes rather than core consulting delivery.

Corporate structure places Guidehouse LLP as the operating entity under parent Guidehouse Group LLC, with one named subsidiary, Guidehouse Inc. The vendor's federal footprint is dominated by three NAICS categories—Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (517 awards), Custom Computer Programming Services (107 awards), and Offices of Certified Public Accountants (102 awards)—reflecting its positioning as a broad-based management and technology consulting firm rather than a specialized defense or security contractor.
