The Clearing, Inc.

The Clearing, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Washington, D.C., delivers organizational transformation and strategic consulting services to civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, with dominant positioning on the OASIS+ Total Small Business IDIQ and single-award BPAs anchored to program management, change management, facilitation, and digital modernization work.

The Clearing operates predominantly full-and-open on the MAS and competes under Total Small Business set-asides on the OASIS+ SB IDIQ and select BPA vehicles. The company holds a $999.999 billion ceiling on the OASIS+ Total Small Business set-aside multiple-award IDIQ (awarded December 19, 2024, running through December 18, 2029) and manages four principal single-award BPA vehicles: a $46.7 million TTS Program and Project Management Support BPA with GSA Federal Acquisition Service (running through November 2026), a $130 million DoD Washington Headquarters Service customer experience BPA (through August 2027), a $27.1 million Social Security Administration Agency Product Framework BPA (through April 2027), and a $1.0 million NIST workplace management BPA (through June 2027). Across the 159 task orders executed on the Multiple Award Schedule to date, combined potential value reaches $462.9 million, with an additional $26 million spread across 30 orders on The Professional Services Schedule. Recent representative prime work includes a $9.06 million delivery order for customer experience strategic development support to DoD WHS (August 2024), a $4.03 million call for CRM readiness support to the same customer (September 2024), a $12.67 million strategic communication support order to the Office of the Secretary of Defense (May 2024), a $2.99 million FedRAMP Program Management Office call to GSA-TTS (January 2024), and a $1.74 million onboarding portal support order to DoD (September 2023). Federal grant activity is minimal, represented by two sub-award positions under the District of Columbia government on opioid crisis response work.

Customer concentration is bifurcated by volume versus potential value. By award count, the top five customers account for 53% of awards: Social Security Administration (21 awards, $37 million potential value), HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration (19 awards, $16.8 million), GSA-TTS (12 awards, $41.3 million), GSA Federal Acquisition Service (11 awards, $314.5 million), and DEA (6 awards, $15.2 million). By potential value, however, the ranking shifts dramatically: the Naval Sea Systems Command dominates at $3.96 billion (2 awards), driven by OASIS+ task-order pipeline, followed by GSA Federal Acquisition Service ($314.5 million, 11 awards), DoD WHS ($146.5 million, 5 awards), GSA-TTS ($41.3 million, 12 awards), and SSA ($37 million, 21 awards) — a mix of government-wide vehicle exposure and deep agency relationships. The Naval Sea Systems Command concentration reflects nascent OASIS+ utilization rather than awarded obligation; only $125.7 million (2% of combined potential value) has been obligated across all awards to date.

Activity has grown from 9 awards in 2021 to 23 in 2024, reflecting increasing market traction on GSA vehicles and agency-specific BPAs. Five awards totaling $10.9 million potential value face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete opportunity. Service Contract Inventory data shows FY2024 invoiced revenue of $16.9 million across 46.3 FTEs (up from $11.8 million and 36.0 FTEs in FY2022), with government-paid hourly rates running a median of $162.89 per hour (10th percentile $142.69/hr, 90th percentile $206.02/hr) across prime contracts; the vendor self-performs 99% of contractor hours, with minimal subcontractor engagement (1% sub-hours share, 8 named subs across the SCI dataset). GSA labor portfolio spans 23 categories priced from $74.04/hour (Assistant) to $364.97/hour (Subject Matter Expert II), requiring high school through bachelor's education with no security-clearance offerings. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime on federal contracts; the three sub-award records (one contract sub, two grant subs) are negligible relative to the 126 prime awards and do not characterize the business model.

Capability framing centers on federal advisory consulting: product discovery, design facilitation, change management coaching, program and project management office support, customer experience strategy, digital transformation readiness, benefits modernization, and workplace/organizational transformation. Work spans civilian agencies (SSA, GSA, DOJ, HHS, DEA, DOC/NIST, NOAA, NASA) and limited DoD exposure (WHS, Office of Secretary of Defense, Defense Security Cooperation Agency), with no direct Army, Navy, or service-component primes. The vendor is not observed as a subcontractor to defense integrators or on classified vehicles; federal relationships flow through established agency schedule vehicles and single-award BPAs negotiated directly with customer organizations.
