Sigma Health Consulting, LLC

Sigma Health Consulting, LLC, a women-owned and veteran-owned small business based in Silver Spring, Maryland, delivers healthcare consulting, evidence-based clinical practice guidelines development, and health technology management services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) across the Department of Veterans Affairs, the National Institutes of Health, and the Defense Health Agency. The firm operates predominantly on full-and-open federal contracts; while it holds positions on two OASIS+ set-aside vehicles (Women-Owned Small Business and Total Small Business IDIQs awarded in 2024), the majority of its prime contract volume flows through unrestricted award vehicles and GSA schedules.

Sigma's customer footprint concentrates heavily in VA healthcare and clinical research. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 88% of recent awards: the National Institute on Aging (41 awards, $1.7 million combined potential value), VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick (25 awards, $636.9 million), VA Headquarters (13 awards, $59.8 million), VA Technology Acquisition Center Austin (6 awards, $16.1 million), and GSA Federal Acquisition Service (4 awards, $3.3 million). By potential value, however, the Defense Health Agency dominates with $10 billion (anchored by a single $10 billion multiple-award OMNIBUS IV vehicle awarded in 2022), followed by VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick. Sigma invoiced $48.5 million across SCI-reportable prime service contracts from FY2022 through FY2025, with 2024 peak activity at $17.9 million across 66.1 FTEs; hourly billing rates on government-paid federal services work median around $132.58/hr, with senior labor pricing through $160.70/hr on SCI-reported contracts. GSA Schedule labor rates span $88.73/hr for entry-level consultants to $197.17/hr for program directors with master's degrees and 12 years of experience; no security-cleared positions are offered.

Representative named work includes a $4.81 million delivery order from VA Headquarters for evidence-based clinical practice guidelines development awarded November 2024 (ultimate completion October 2026), a $6.4 million firm-fixed-price definitive contract from VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick for VHA Healthcare Technology Management support services awarded September 2024 (completion March 2026), and a $3.9 million Veteran Sole Source purchase order for VA Central Office Office of Integrity and Compliance support awarded September 2024 (completion December 2025). Sigma also holds a $31.3 million single-award VA indefinite delivery contract running through September 2028 for evidence-based clinical practice guidelines development, updating, and conversion; four delivery orders totaling $18.5 million have been drawn under this vehicle since September 2023. Smaller engagement includes conference logistical support for the National Institute on Aging's aging research workshops on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (41 awards under $100,000 each totaling $1.7 million). In its subcontractor role, Sigma performs systematic evidence review work under Westat on U.S. Preventive Services Task Force contracts, enterprise measurement services under Deloitte Consulting, and EHR program management support under Booz Allen Hamilton.

Sigma sits on four parent contract vehicles that generate ongoing task order activity. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule carries 49 task orders ($26 million combined potential value), predominantly conference support and logistics work for NIH. The VA's Agile Delivery of VA Imminent Strategic and Operational Requirements (ADVIS) vehicle shows 13 task orders ($37.4 million). The firm also holds an OASIS+ Women-Owned Small Business multiple-award IDIQ (awarded September 2024, no specified ceiling) and an OASIS+ Total Small Business multiple-award IDIQ (awarded December 2024, no specified ceiling), both running through 2029, positioning Sigma to pursue integrated professional services across management, technical, research and development, and intelligence domains government-wide. The Defense Health Agency OMNIBUS IV vehicle, while carrying a $10 billion ceiling, has generated only three task orders, with a single $2,500 delivery order on record.

Activity has remained relatively flat year over year across the prime base — seven awards in 2021, 2022, and 2023; twelve in 2023; nine in 2024; three in early 2026 — with combined potential value of $10.74 billion but only $131.5 million obligated to date (1% draw-down rate). Three awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $10.9 million, representing modest recompete exposure. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, average sub-hours engagement is 5% of total contractor hours, with six named subcontractors reported; Sigma primarily self-performs its healthcare consulting and clinical guidelines work rather than building large delivery teams through subcontracts. The vendor competes across fourteen distinct federal agencies and has delivered federal healthcare work continuously since at least 2010, with over thirty years of stated healthcare consulting experience pre-dating its federal contract footprint.
