Telling Your Story LLC

Telling Your Story LLC, doing business as High Impact Partners, is an SBA-certified women-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business (Black American-owned) that delivers grant management, workforce development, technical assistance, and panelist support services to the Department of Labor and allied agencies as a prime contractor exclusively. The firm operates from Washington, DC and competes under woman-owned small business set-asides on the majority of its Department of Labor work, with selective full-and-open awards from non-DOL agencies.

High Impact Partners operates with extreme customer concentration anchored in the Department of Labor ecosystem. The top five funding agencies account for 88% of recent awards by count and 97% by combined potential value, with the Employment and Training Administration dominating at 26 awards valued at $107.5 million combined potential value — roughly 76% of the firm's total federal portfolio. Within DOL, the firm also holds significant work from the Job Corps National Office ($12.4 million across five awards), the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management ($8.6 million across five awards), and the Veterans Employment and Training Service ($5.7 million across six awards). Non-DOL exposure is minimal: the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $2.47 million 8(a) sole-source contract in 2022 for equity and compliance activities with minority-serving institutions, and the Department of the Treasury Departmental Offices issued a $5.6 thousand instructional services delivery order in 2024.

Capability framing centers on labor-intensive grant administration and federal workforce support operations. Core work streams include panelist support services (administrative and logistical support for grant review panels), toll-free helpline staffing and operations, grant life cycle mission support, technical assistance to grant recipients, and strategic facilitation services. A $59.3 million multiple-award blanket purchase agreement with ETA established December 23, 2024 (ceiling through December 22, 2029) functions as the firm's primary vehicle, supporting education, outreach, and analysis services across ETA's portfolio and set aside for total small business against GSA's Multiple Award Schedule. Recent task orders under this BPA include a $6.9 million labor-hours labor-hours call for grant life cycle mission support to non-DOL agencies including the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education and Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (running through July 31, 2027), a $1.9 million OWI toll-free helpline support call (through April 12, 2030), and a $4.1 million delivery order for technical assistance to Strengthening Community Colleges grant recipients (through September 19, 2031). A second vehicle, a $4.4 million single-award indefinite delivery contract for OGM Panelist Support Services awarded December 27, 2022 (ultimate completion January 2, 2027), has issued three delivery orders including a $2.1 million order to the Office of Grants Management in September 2026 running through September 2028. Outside the BPA and IDIQ vehicles, the firm holds definitive contracts including a $3.33 million Job Corps Program National Safety Hotline operation (awarded June 2, 2026, running through June 1, 2031) and a $344,448 definitive contract from the Veterans Employment and Training Service for mission support personnel for grants life cycle (awarded September 20, 2026, completed December 19, 2026).

GSA Schedule labor rates span administrative support through senior program leadership, ranging from $65.12/hr for Administrative Assistant I roles (bachelor's, three years experience) to $215.14/hr for Project Director positions (master's, six years experience). Twenty labor categories are active; no security-cleared roles are offered. Representative mid-range categories include Consultant II at $97.23/hr, Facilitator at $131.02/hr, and Project Manager I at $159.12/hr, reflecting the firm's positioning in program management, facilitation, and technical assistance delivery.

Activity has been volatile over the five-year window. Awards per year were seven in 2021, nine in 2022, declined to three in 2023 and two in 2024, then recovered to seven in 2026 (data current as of September 26, 2026). Combined potential value across all awards stands at $140.9 million, with $44.7 million obligated (32% utilization). Six awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $13.9 million facing recompete. The firm operates exclusively as a prime contractor (51 of 51 awards) with no subcontract footprint in the source data.

Within the top parent vehicles category, the Multiple Award Schedule anchors 9 task orders valued at $81.6 million combined potential value — substantially higher than the two indefinite delivery contracts (IDC 1630DC17D0004 with 4 task orders at $3 million and IDC 1605C223D0001 with 3 task orders at $4.4 million combined potential). Across its primary NAICS classification of Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (47 awards), the firm also carries secondary work in Professional and Management Development Training (2 awards) and Apprenticeship Training (1 award). PSC coding aligns to support professional services (34 awards under "Other," 6 awards under "Program Management/Support," 1 award under "Program Evaluation/Review/Development").
