Sighthound, Inc.

Sighthound, Inc., a woman-owned small business headquartered in Riverdale, Maryland, provides background investigation and security screening services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, operating entirely under non-set-aside competitive BPA and BOA vehicles. The company specializes in personnel security clearance support, background checks, and investigative services across the NAICS category 501991 (Investigation and Personal Background Check Services), with a lean federal footprint anchored to three customer agencies that account for 100% of combined potential value.

The Peace Corps dominates Sighthound's customer concentration, representing 12 awards valued at $881 thousand across a portfolio of 19 total prime awards. The Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security holds a $700 thousand BPA (awarded April 25, 2025, running through April 24, 2030) for background investigative services supporting the Directorate of Security, Directorate of Special Security, and the International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance Program. The U.S. Agency for International Development contributes two awards totaling $399 thousand—a $249 thousand Basic Ordering Agreement with USAID Mexico and a $150 thousand agreement with the main USAID mission—for background investigation and security screening services. Recent Peace Corps work includes a June 8, 2026 BPA call order for $10 thousand in background investigation services and a September 9, 2025 BPA call for $12 thousand, both under a $750 thousand master BPA established on April 22, 2026 and running through April 21, 2029.

Sighthound operates through two primary BPA vehicles. The Peace Corps holds multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements, including the recently awarded $750 thousand master BPA (April 22, 2026) and earlier single-award BPAs with ceilings at $56 thousand and $64 thousand. The Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security BPA carries a $700 thousand ceiling. Activity has remained modest and episodic—one award in 2021, one in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026 to date—with $125 thousand obligated across the $2 million combined potential value portfolio (6% execution rate). Two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $22 thousand. Sighthound operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint, limiting its role to direct vendor status rather than team participant or subcontractor to larger primes.

Sighthound performs pre-employment screening and background investigations.
