Synergy Enterprises, Inc.

Synergy Enterprises, Inc., a woman-owned, minority-owned (Subcontinent Asian American–owned) small business headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, operates as a prime contractor (99% of awards) delivering administrative, logistics, conference management, and technical assistance services to federal agencies across civilian health, education, and social service sectors under total small business and woman-owned small business set-asides. The company competes predominantly under set-aside vehicles rather than full-and-open; recent prime awards split between Total Small Business and Woman-Owned Small Business designations, with a material set-aside presence across all major customer relationships.

Synergy's portfolio spans administrative, meeting, conference, and travel support; technical assistance and training delivery; program evaluation and logistics coordination; and communications and marketing services. Representative work includes a $12.2 million time-and-materials delivery order from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute for NHLBI workshop and conference activities (March 2025, Total Small Business set-aside); a $4.3 million firm fixed-price BPA call from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education for Every Student Succeeds Act technical assistance center support services (September 2025, Total Small Business set-aside); a $7.5 million firm fixed-price delivery order with the Department of Defense Education Activity for the Grant Program Evaluation and Technical Assistance Center (February 2024, Total Small Business set-aside); and a $4.2 million cost-plus award-fee definitive contract from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration for technical support services for the federal Drug-Free Workplace Program (August 2024, Woman-Owned Small Business set-aside). GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 49 categories ranging from $37.45/hr (Project Support I with high school education) through $259.58/hr (Subject Matter Expert with doctorate and 15 years' experience); all roles are non-cleared positions. Median government-paid rates across SCI-reportable contracts sit around $128/hr, with senior technical and subject-matter expertise reaching toward $177/hr and entry-level support below $35/hr.

Customer concentration is substantial and skews toward education and health-services buyers. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 58% of recent awards, led by the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health National Institute of Mental Health (112 awards, $7.2 million combined potential value); the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (45 awards, $507.4 million); the Department of Education Office of Innovation and Improvement (23 awards, $44.1 million); the Department of Health and Human Services National Institute on Drug Abuse (20 awards, $38.9 million); and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (19 awards, $93.9 million). By potential value, however, the portfolio tilts sharply toward Department of Education and HHS NIH. The Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences carries 19 awards worth $2.06 billion combined potential value; the HHS NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations holds 4 awards worth $1.21 billion (anchored by two recently awarded IDVs); the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration carries 6 awards worth $509.1 million; and the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (45 awards, $507.4 million). Together, these five customer entities account for 88% of combined potential value.

Synergy holds seven major parent vehicles: a $1 billion single-award total small business Indefinite Delivery Contract for Public Information and Communications Services III (PICS III) awarded by the Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations on December 17, 2024; a $100 million single-award IDC for NIHCATS IV Conference and Administrative Travel Services (awarded December 1, 2024); an $85 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement for HRSA-wide marketing campaign services (awarded September 2023, total small business set-aside); a $250 million single-award BPA for Department of Education Title IV Part A technical assistance center services (awarded September 2023); a $100 million single-award BPA for Department of Education Comprehensive Literacy State Development technical assistance (awarded May 2023); a $75 million multiple-award IDIQ with HHS Administration for Community Living (awarded January 2024, partial small business set-aside); and a $3 million single-award BPA with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute for meeting, conference, and workshop support (awarded August 2024). The Multiple Award Schedule vehicle alone carries 60 task orders worth $804.7 million combined potential value. Beyond these, Synergy participates in the Department of Education's Procurement of Research Evaluation and Statistics Task Orders (PRESTO) multiple-award IDIQ, valued at up to $2 billion, and holds a position on the HHS Program Support Center IDIQ.

Activity has been volatile but substantial. Recent award velocity shows 10 awards in 2022, 18 in 2023, 17 in 2024, 6 in 2025, and 1 in 2026 (year-to-date), reflecting administrative processing lag for large IDVs rather than market decline. The recompete cliff carries 13 awards worth $63.9 million combined potential value completing within the next twenty-four months. SCI-reportable invoicing of federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold shows $20.9 million in FY2022 across 66.5 FTEs, $21.8 million in FY2023 across 73 FTEs, and $21.8 million in FY2024 across 77.7 FTEs—a flat revenue trajectory against modest FTE growth. SCI records constitute a strict subset of federal services activity, excluding goods, classified work, and sub-$150,000 awards, so this figure understates total federal revenue. The vendor's SCI-reported workforce footprint spans 64.5–71.2 FTEs annually; the portfolio's combined potential value of $5.46 billion is heavily front-loaded by two $1+ billion IDVs awarded in December 2024.

Synergy operates predominantly as a prime (372 of 377 awards, 99%) and builds its own delivery teams rather than relying on subcontractors. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors perform an average of 5% of total contractor hours, with 25 named subcontractors engaged over the three-year period. The company subcontracts minimally as a secondary resource: five sub-awards on record, dating from April 2023 to September 2024, flowing through primes including Global Life Sciences Solutions USA LLC, Canon U.S.A., Inc., Censeo Consulting Group, Inc., and ICF Incorporated for National Institutes of Health and SAMHSA work (Global Cancer Research and Control Seminar Series support, Implementation Science Consortium Activities, NIAMS Strategic Planning, and SAMHSA Strategic Prevention Technical Assistance Center services). Synergy holds one prime federal grant award as the Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers National Technical Assistance Center recipient (Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, awarded September 2023, completion September 2026), a project-grant structure rather than a contract vehicle.

The top NAICS concentration sits with Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (259 awards), followed by Convention and Trade Show Organizers (29 awards) and Other Management Consulting Services (14 awards). PSC coding aligns: Support-Management Logistics Support dominates (156 awards), with Support-Professional Other (90 awards) and Support-Administrative Other (13 awards) as secondary buckets. This vendor fundamentally sells federal-agency operational support—conference coordination, technical assistance delivery, logistics, and administrative staffing—rather than specialized technical or scientific services, though the portfolio includes research evaluation and statistical support to Department of Education and NIH entities.

SEI's capabilities include Program & Project Management, Research and Evaluation, Technical Assistance, Communications, Policy planning, IT Support , and Conference & Meeting Logistics.
