The Regulatory Group Inc.

The Regulatory Group Inc., a small-business Subchapter S corporation based in Arlington, Virginia, delivers federal regulatory training, policy analysis, public-comment processing, and rulemaking-support services exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) to civilian agencies across the federal government. The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open, with a mix of small-business set-asides on lower-value training contracts and full-and-open delivery orders on larger task-order vehicles; no set-aside designation recurs across the footprint.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on regulatory drafting, analysis, and training for federal rulemaking processes. Representative work includes a $7.9 million total-small-business BPA call with the Federal Aviation Administration's Office of Rulemaking (eFAST vehicle, covering Civil Aviation Cybersecurity Rulemaking Committee support through May 2028), a $1.1 million full-and-open delivery order with the Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service for public-comment analysis support and software licensing (MAS, running through April 2030), a $290 thousand full-and-open delivery order with the Department of Education for rulemaking software licenses under the Higher Education Act negotiated rulemaking procedures (MAS, through July 2027), and a $261 thousand total-small-business delivery order with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for regulatory training of operations and support staff (MAS, through September 2029). Training work ranges from two-day group sessions on regulatory drafting and public-comment analysis to individualized consultation on regulation writing, review, and interpretation. The vendor also resells DocketScope software—a rulemaking-comment analysis platform it owns through subsidiary Docketscope, Inc.—to multiple agencies including the Drug Enforcement Administration, National Labor Relations Board, and Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education.

GSA Schedule labor spans nine categories priced from $61.35/hr for Writers/Editors through $413.53/hr for Economic Consultants, all requiring a bachelor's degree minimum and no security clearances. The mid-range roster includes Junior Analysts, Senior Analysts, Senior Consultants, and Economic Consultants spanning 10–20 years of experience, reflecting a posture toward policy analysis and economic-impact assessment work alongside training delivery.

Customer concentration is fragmented across civilian agencies. The top five funding agencies account for 39% of awards by count but split unevenly by dollar value. The Federal Aviation Administration dominates by potential value (4 awards, $1.01 billion combined potential value, anchored by the large eFAST BPA), while the Department of Transportation Immediate Office of the Secretary (38 awards, $10.4 million) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (16 awards, $12.6 million) lead by award frequency. Other active customers include the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (9 awards, $215 thousand), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (8 awards, $530 thousand), and Drug Enforcement Administration (6 awards, $1.6 million). The vendor has served 37 distinct federal agencies across its portfolio.

The vendor places the majority of work through the GSA Professional Services Schedule (92 task orders, $26.1 million combined potential value) and via several Department of Transportation indefinite delivery contracts—DTRS5702D30001 (45 task orders, $1.5 million), DTRT5706D30001 (21 task orders, $2.2 million), and a related CDTRS variant (5 task orders, $31 thousand). GSA Multiple Award Schedule carries 16 task orders at $2.5 million combined potential value. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no named subcontractors across the award portfolio; SCI-reportable prime contracts show zero subcontractor hours, indicating full self-performance across service deliveries.

Activity has been modest and volatile. The vendor recorded three awards in 2022, five in 2023, four in 2024, two in 2025, and one year-to-date in 2026. Combined potential value across all 200 awards reaches $1.08 billion, but actual obligations total only $29.3 million (3% of potential value), signaling long-term ceiling contracts with limited current spend. Only two awards (combined potential value $8.2 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete pressure. SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal services contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $1.1 million in FY2022, zero in FY2023–FY2024, and $1.7 million in FY2025, supported by 3.9 and 6.0 government-delivered FTEs respectively; median government-paid rates on these contracts ran approximately $133.43/hr. The vendor operates as a fully self-performing prime across all service contracts, with no reliance on subcontractors for service delivery or capacity augmentation.
