Sciome LLC

Sciome LLC, a minority-owned small business based in Durham, North Carolina, delivers bioinformatics, computational toxicology, and data science services to federal research agencies as a prime contractor under set-aside and non-set-aside vehicles. Sciome is a limited liability company and Subcontinent Asian American-owned entity operating across primary NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and secondary codes spanning scientific consulting, R&D services, and specialized data analysis. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) with no subcontractor footprint and no sub-award engagement across its federal award portfolio.

Sciome's customer base is heavily concentrated at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences within the National Institutes of Health. NIEHS accounts for 9 awards with $130.6 million in combined potential value — 98 percent of the vendor's total award portfolio. This dominance reflects Sciome's incumbent status providing bioinformatics analysis, biostatistical programming, and computational support to NIEHS's Divisions of Translational Toxicology, National Toxicology Program, and Intramural Research. The largest award is a $79.3 million definitive contract awarded September 1, 2026, for computational and alternative toxicological research running through February 28, 2037 under total small business set-aside, with an estimated labor requirement of 30,000 to 60,000 hours annually. Sciome also holds a $26.23 million bioinformatics support contract with NIEHS running through March 23, 2032 (awarded September 24, 2024, cost-plus-fixed-fee, no set-aside), on which the vendor invoiced $3 million across 11.1 FTEs in FY2025 at derived median rates of $130.28 per hour. A $4.9 million delivery order under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule for BCBB statistical programming through September 2028 represents the largest non-NIEHS order. Outside NIEHS, Sciome has placed work with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (a $1.36 million MAS delivery order through September 2023), NOAA (three purchase orders totaling $358 thousand for Swift-Active Screener enterprise licenses and systematic review applications), and the EPA Office of Research and Development (two MAS delivery orders totaling $320 thousand for data extraction modeling). Sciome also received a federal grant from NIEHS (award date September 1, 2023, completion August 31, 2025) for research and development of an adverse outcome pathway-focused tool for genomics data analysis using semantic knowledge graphs.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue on prime service contracts above the reporting threshold ran $11 million across FY2022–FY2025, with stable annual invoicing between $2.4 and $3 million and federal FTE headcount climbing from 12.8 in FY2022 to 16 in FY2025. Government-paid median hourly rates on prime contracts average $117.42 per hour, with rates ranging from $112.60 (10th percentile) to $137.48 (90th percentile). Sciome self-performs all contracted work with zero sub-hours across its prime SCI portfolio. GSA Schedule labor categories span 30 distinct roles, pricing from $46.80 (Project Specialist I with bachelor's degree and no experience requirement) to $324.41 (Subject Matter Expert II with doctorate and ten years of experience), with no security-cleared positions offered. The vendor's rate spectrum reflects a research-support and bioinformatics labor portfolio, with senior scientific roles (Scientific Data Analyst IV, Functional Scientific Researcher/Consultant roles) priced in the $158–$195 range and specialized PhDs at the upper end.

Activity has been volatile year to year — two awards in 2021, four in 2022, two in 2023, one in 2024, and two in 2026 — with only one award ($4.9 million) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The vast bulk of the vendor's potential value is anchored in the recent NIEHS awards, which carry performance through 2032–2037 and represent extended incumbent engagement rather than new-business wins. Sciome operates on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule as its primary vehicle for federal ordering and maintains position on a limited set of agency-specific BPAs, with the MAS generating four task orders totaling $7.3 million. The vendor competes predominantly in small-business set-aside and non-set-aside full-and-open competition rather than in 8(a) or other SBA vehicles; recent awards split between total small business set-asides (the $79.3 million NIEHS toxicology contract, the $4.9 million BCBB order) and unrestricted procurements (the $26.23 million NIEHS bioinformatics contract, NOAA and EPA orders).
