Social Impact Inc.

Social Impact Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Arlington, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor delivering international development evaluation, monitoring, learning, and strategic capacity-building services to civilian federal agencies—USAID, the Department of State, and the Millennium Challenge Corporation dominate its customer base, with 98% of awards as prime contractor across no set-aside designations. The firm competes full-and-open and holds seats on multiple federal procurement vehicles including the OASIS+ Unrestricted IDIQ, the Department of State's Performance Management, Evaluation, and Learning Services (PMELS) indefinite-delivery contract with a $150 million ceiling, and a $99 million Department of Labor BPA against the GSA Multiple Award Schedule.

Social Impact's capability portfolio centers on monitoring, evaluation, and learning services for international development initiatives, along with strategic planning, capacity building, and program assessment. Recent representative awards include a $21.5 million definitive contract from USAID for monitoring, evaluation, and learning support in Mali running through November 2027; an $11.5 million USAID task order for evaluation and learning services across Somalia's East Africa Regional Program through July 2027; a $30.6 million USAID delivery order supporting Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance sector learning and research with subcontractor support from the University of Pennsylvania, Dexis Consulting Group, and the National Opinion Research Center; and a $4.2 million Millennium Challenge Corporation BPA call for independent evaluation of the Benin Regional Compact's corridor infrastructure and operations projects, with Sheladia Associates providing infrastructure-related technical assistance. Department of State work includes a $1.4 million delivery order under PMELS for managing program evaluations and strategic planning, and a $741,000 delivery order analyzing climate change's potential influence on military missions supported by The CNA Corporation. GSA Schedule task orders span Kosovo energy storage project evaluation and Abidjan transport project evaluation for MCC.

Customer concentration is severe and weighted toward USAID. USAID accounts for three separate customer entities in the top five by award count (69 awards totaling $113 million through the agency-wide office; 37 awards totaling $1.9 billion through the Bureau for Management; 26 awards totaling $10 million through Humanitarian Assistance; and 14 awards totaling $67.1 million through the Regional Development Mission for Asia). The Bureau for Management Office of the Assistant Administrator alone represents 37 awards and $1.9 billion—79% of all combined potential value across Social Impact's entire federal footprint. MCC represents the second discrete customer, with 38 awards and $88.1 million. The Department of State Bureau of the Comptroller and Global Financial Services contributes 9 awards and $225.5 million. This concentration reflects Social Impact's specialization in development evaluation and the fact that USAID's centralized Bureau for Management uses a single massive indefinite-delivery vehicle (AID486I1400001) to procure evaluation services governmentwide.

Social Impact's parent vehicles reflect its development-sector focus. The AID486I1400001 IDIQs support 52 task orders worth $31.8 million combined potential value; the USAID Program Evaluation Services IDIQ anchors 41 task orders totaling $35.1 million; Transparency, Accountability and Performance carries 26 task orders for $32.7 million. The OASIS+ Unrestricted seat awarded December 2024 with a five-year term through December 2029 positions the firm for government-wide cross-sector evaluation work beyond traditional development programming. The PMELS IDIQ seat (April 2023 through April 2028, $150 million ceiling) and the Labor BPA seat (September 2023 through September 2028, $99 million ceiling) diversify procurement channels across State and Labor, reducing pure USAID dependence at the vehicle level even though USAID remains dominant in task-order activity.

Activity has remained steady to declining in recent years. The source reports three awards in 2021, nine in 2022, eight in 2023, seven in 2024, and two in 2026 year-to-date, suggesting moderation rather than growth trajectory. Four awards with combined potential value of $37.7 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting near-term recompete exposure concentrated in USAID and MCC work. SCI-reported invoicing on prime service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $38.2 million across FY2022–FY2025 ($7 million in FY2022, $11.3 million in FY2023, $13.3 million in FY2024, and $6.6 million in FY2025), with roughly 70 FTEs delivered in FY2022, 19 in FY2023, 91 in FY2024, and 20 in FY2025—volatility driven by uneven task-order scoping and timing across development missions. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ran a median of $100.45 per hour, with senior labor pricing (90th percentile) reaching $235.76 per hour; GSA Schedule labor categories span from $74.38 per hour for junior technical management roles through $264.45 per hour for senior technical directors, with no security-cleared labor offered.

Social Impact operates primarily with direct delivery teams. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for an average of 13% of total contractor hours, with 18 named subcontractors reported across the SCI dataset. Named subcontractors include Lhassa Consulting EA LIMITED (Kenya-based, providing technical assistance and evaluation services on Somalia work), Sheladia Associates (infrastructure and engineering consulting on Benin and Côte d'Ivoire evaluations), Duke University (Willingness to Pay study sub on a Sierra Leone MCC contract), and Nline, Inc. (GridWatch sensor deployment and grid-performance data collection on Senegal electricity access evaluation). On three sub-award entries in the source, Social Impact subcontracts to American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences, International Business Initiatives LLC, and Integrity Global Inc., delivering evaluation and capacity-building services on USAID bureau-level work. The sub-engagement profile suggests Social Impact assembles specialized evaluation teams for individual projects rather than carrying a large permanent bench of development staff, a posture consistent with USAID and MCC development evaluation norms where scope and geography vary sharply across task orders.
