The Manhattan Strategy Group LLC

The Manhattan Strategy Group LLC, a New York-based minority-owned small disadvantaged business, operates as a prime contractor delivering federal consulting services—program evaluation, data analytics, technical assistance, communications support, and logistical services—across 48 federal agencies. The vendor is a Subcontinent Asian American-owned limited liability company; recent work splits heavily between full-and-open awards and Total Small Business set-asides, with set-aside work dominating the prime portfolio (99% of 215 total awards are prime contracts and IDVs).

The vendor's customer concentration is extreme and front-loaded to education and labor agencies. The top five funding agencies by potential value account for 69% of combined dollars: the Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences ($2.02 billion across 16 awards, anchored by the $2 billion PRESTO IDIQ), the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education ($627.9 million across 29 awards), the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration ($509.3 million across 5 awards), HHS Administration for Children and Families ($271.4 million across 11 awards), and the Department of Labor Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy ($166.5 million across 5 awards). By award count, the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education leads (29 awards), followed by the Food and Nutrition Service (17 awards) and the Patent and Trademark Office (16 awards)—a divergence indicating that education and HHS drive dollars while USDA and Commerce place many smaller orders.

The vendor holds or sits on multiple parent vehicles. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule is the dominant platform, with 134 task orders worth $1.55 billion in combined potential value. The Manhattan Strategy Group also holds several single-award or multi-award BPAs and IDIQs: a $2 billion PRESTO IDIQ with the Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences (covering research, evaluation, and statistics task orders across education agencies), a $83.4 million Communications Support Services BPA with the Department of Justice Office of Communications (spanning DOJ sub-components including the Bureau of Justice Assistance, National Institute of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, and others), a $99 million Chief Evaluation Office BPA with the Department of Labor, a $63.85 million education and outreach BPA with DOL's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy, a $30 million DHS Program Analysis and Evaluation BPA, and a $1 billion PICS III (Public Information and Communications Services) single-award IDIQ with the Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations. Additionally, the vendor earned a seat on the OASIS+ Total Small Business IDIQ in December 2024, a multi-award vehicle with a placeholder ceiling reserved for small businesses across seven functional domains (Management and Advisory, Technical and Engineering, Research and Development, Intelligence Services, Environmental Services, Facilities, and Logistics).

Recent representative prime work includes a $106.7 million delivery order from HHS Administration for Children and Families (March 2026) for Head Start monitoring logistics support (scheduling, team deployment, travel planning, reviewer payment management), a $47.2 million USDA Food and Nutrition Service delivery order (September 2026) for SNAP retailer on-site store visits and data collection through 2031, a $10.5 million Department of Education delivery order (July 2025) under PRESTO for discretionary grant competition peer review logistics support, a $27.9 million Office of Elementary and Secondary Education BPA call (September 2024) for the National Charter Schools Program resource center training and technical assistance, and a $14.84 million Bureau of Labor Statistics definitive contract (March 2026) for JOLTS data collection center operations across Atlanta, Georgia and Kansas City, Missouri, spanning approximately 21,000 establishments nationwide with hybrid labor-hours/firm-fixed-price pricing and mandatory 60% small-business subcontracting goals.

Activity has grown substantially year over year, from 9 awards in 2022 to 28 in 2024, though 2025 and 2026 show moderation (10 and 11 awards respectively, likely reflecting a partial-year sample or reporting lag). Twenty awards worth $71.7 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating material recompete exposure. The vendor operates predominantly as a prime (99% of awards) and rarely subcontracts; across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for an average of 3% of labor hours, and only three sub-awards appear in the source data—one sub to Wested on a charter schools compliance monitoring project and one sub to American Institutes for Research on a LINCS technical assistance project.

SCI-reported invoiced federal services revenue increased from $23 million in FY2022 (56.2 FTEs) to $39.3 million in FY2025 (114 FTEs), reflecting significant labor scaling. The vendor's government-paid hourly-rate spectrum on federal service contracts runs from a 10th percentile of $89.83/hr to a median of $174.11/hr to a 90th percentile of $383.40/hr, consistent with a consultant-heavy labor model spanning junior program support through senior executive roles. The GSA Schedule labor portfolio includes 62 active categories priced between $45.91/hr and $420.89/hr, encompassing operations assistants, curriculum designers, communications specialists, program managers, project directors, and senior executive positions; no security-cleared roles are offered on the schedule. The vendor's core capability framing across all vehicles centers on education policy, workforce development, social services program evaluation and technical assistance, data collection and analysis, communications support, and federal compliance management—work executed across performance locations in New York, Washington DC, Bethesda, Maryland, Atlanta, Georgia, and other locations nationwide as required by task orders.

Management consulting including research, evaluation, program management, process improvement, business transformation, best practices, benchmarking, logistics, meeting planning, peer review, coaching and training. Over 400 projects, 12 federal agencies.
