The Right Solution, Inc.

The Right Solution, Inc., a woman-owned small business based in St. Louis, Missouri, operates as a prime contractor providing substance abuse counseling, mental health treatment, and behavioral health services to federal agencies, competing predominantly full-and-open rather than under set-asides despite its WOSB designation.

The Right Solution delivers behavioral health services with narrow specialization: substance abuse counseling, mental health counseling, temporary clinical mental health center support, employee assistance program services, and sex offender treatment programming. Recent representative work includes a $381,797.70 delivery order from the Department of Agriculture for substance use, mental health, and sex offender treatment services in St. Louis (May 2024–September 2024); a $4 million blanket purchase agreement with the USDA Forest Service Job Corps for temporary career, mental health, and counseling services across multiple Job Corps centers nationwide (active through July 2024); and a $595,875 definitive contract with the Forest Service Job Corps for mental health counseling services at the Boxelder Job Corps Center in South Dakota (February 2022–January 2027, total small business set-aside). The vendor also holds a $4.5 million indefinite delivery contract with the Forest Service Job Corps for substance abuse counseling at multiple centers and maintains a GSA Multiple Award Schedule position.

Customer concentration is extreme and stable. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Job Corps accounts for 264 awards (78% of total) and $26.2 million in combined potential value (78% of total portfolio). The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office represents 18 awards and $5.5 million (16% of dollars), and the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 holds 28 awards and $604 thousand. These three customers account for 96% of awards and 99% of combined potential value. The vendor's footprint spans discrete federal locations — Job Corps centers in Kentucky, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Oregon, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Montana, North Carolina, South Dakota, Washington, and other states, plus correctional facilities and VA medical centers.

The Right Solution operates against two large USDA Forest Service indefinite delivery vehicles: contract AG82A7C140094 (132 task orders, $3.6 million combined potential value) and contract 1282A720D0002 (93 task orders, $3.4 million), plus a $1.5 million BPA (1282A721A0002, 20 task orders) and a GSA Multiple Award Schedule position (38 task orders, $758 thousand). The company issues task orders under these vehicles on an as-needed basis across multiple Job Corps center locations.

Activity has declined sharply. The vendor recorded 39 awards in 2022, 21 in 2023, 13 in 2024, 2 in 2025, and 1 in 2026. Only three awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $1 million — minimal recompete exposure relative to the vendor's historical footprint. This contraction suggests either programmatic wind-down or loss of task order volume to competitors at existing IDV vehicles.

The Right Solution operates as a pure prime across its portfolio — 338 awards (100% prime, 0% sub). SCI data shows minimal federal services reporting: $64 thousand invoiced across FY2022 only (0.3 FTEs), with zero invoicing in FY2023 and FY2024. Government-paid rates on SCI records run at $125/hr median across all percentiles, reflecting the threshold-reporting population; the majority of The Right Solution's work falls below the $150,000 SCI threshold. The vendor performs work independently with no named subcontractors in the award record footprint.

The category concentration reflects behavioral health specialization: 255 awards (75%) carry NAICS 5419 (Offices of Mental Health Practitioners, except Physicians), 41 awards fall under Other Individual and Family Services, and 254 awards carry PSC code B (Behavioral and Mental Health). Set-aside posture across the prime footprint is mixed — some awards carry total small business designations, others carry no set-aside — but the vendor competes full-and-open on the majority of its larger, higher-value work (BPA calls and definitive contracts at Forest Service Job Corps).

The Right Solution offers outpatient mental health counseling services to both individuals and government organizations. Employee Assistance Program services are available nationwide.
