Stratacomm, LLC

Stratacomm, LLC operates as a Washington, DC-based strategic communications and marketing firm delivering federal campaigns, media planning and buying, advertising, and public relations services as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards), predominantly through GSA Multiple Award Schedule task orders and two single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with the Department of Transportation. The vendor is structured as a for-profit limited liability partnership and competes across both set-aside (notably Total Small Business) and full-and-open vehicles, with Total Small Business designations anchoring one of its two major NHTSA IDIQs ($386.4 million ceiling awarded July 2026).

Stratacomm's customer concentration is extreme. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration accounts for 27 awards and $1.67 billion in combined potential value — 94% of all recent awards and 94% of combined potential value across the entire vendor footprint. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration contributes 5 awards totaling $35.1 million, and the GSA Federal Acquisition Service holds 2 awards valued at $52 million. The remaining seven customer agencies (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Federal Highway Administration, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, and others) collectively represent less than 1% of dollars. This concentration reflects Stratacomm's role as NHTSA's dominant vehicle-safety communications partner across multiple contract vehicles.

Stratacomm holds seats on three primary vehicles. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule carries 34 task orders valued at $157.6 million combined. Two single-award NHTSA indefinite-delivery contracts dominate the dollar footprint: IDC 693JJ919D000003 (awarded earlier, extended through March 2029, $328.9 million ceiling with $154.8 million in incremental funding added September 2024) and IDC 693JJ926D000002 (awarded July 2026 as Total Small Business set-aside, $386.4 million ceiling through January 2032). A third vehicle, The Professional Services Schedule, holds 6 task orders totaling $16.4 million. Representative recent work includes a $28.6 million delivery order under the July 2026 NHTSA IDIQ for national communications and marketing support (time and materials, through July 2028); a $154.8 million modification to the September 2024 NHTSA IDC for continued national communications, marketing, and media support on cost-plus-fixed-fee terms; and a $12.4 million BPA call from FMCSA under GSA Schedule for Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Campaign Support Services (firm fixed price, through September 2030).

Stratacomm's capability portfolio, grounded in NAICS codes 541810 (Advertising Agencies, 21 awards) and 541820 (Public Relations Agencies, 21 awards), centers on strategic communications planning, media planning and buying, marketing research, advertising production, partnership development, and event planning, with work scoped exclusively to vehicle safety awareness and transportation public outreach campaigns. GSA Schedule labor rates span administrative support ($77/hr) through managing partner roles ($301.33/hr), with media planner and buyer roles at $141–$179/hr, senior creative and digital directors at $218–$248/hr, and no security-cleared positions offered. SCI-reported invoicing shows $8.3 million in FY2025 across 19.1 FTEs, up from $4.7 million and 16.1 FTEs in FY2022, with government-paid rates on prime contracts running median $161.67/hr (10th percentile $85.45/hr, 90th percentile $210.60/hr).

Stratacomm operates as a predominantly self-performing prime — across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for 18% of total contractor hours, with 26 named subs engaged across the footprint. Sub work includes support to Battelle Memorial Institute on the Federal System Funding Alternatives Advisory Board and to KBC Energy Solutions LLC on Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory mission execution support. Four awards totaling $43.9 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the recompete window. Activity has remained flat year over year (two to four awards annually 2022–2026), but the July 2026 award of the $386.4 million Total Small Business IDIQ signals NHTSA's sustained and expanding reliance on Stratacomm for agency-wide communications capability through 2032.
