Scientific Consulting Group Inc.

Scientific Consulting Group Inc., a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, operates as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) delivering scientific communication, conference and event planning, environmental technical support, and administrative services to federal health and environmental agencies. The firm competes across a mix of total small business set-asides and full-and-open vehicles, with set-aside posture appearing on roughly one-third of recent prime awards.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward civilian science and health agencies. The top five funding offices account for 96% of combined potential value across the entire award portfolio. The Environmental Protection Agency Office for Air and Radiation dominates by dollars, anchoring the portfolio with $5.82 billion in potential value across eleven awards—principally the $5.776 billion EARTH (Environmental, Analytical, Research, Technical, and Hybrid) Support Services BPA awarded July 1, 2022, and running through June 30, 2027. The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations holds the second-largest value position at $2.99 billion across sixteen awards, including two recent IDC vehicles: the $1 billion PUBLIC INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES III (PICS III) awarded December 17, 2024, and the $100 million NIH Conference and Administrative Travel Services IV (NIHCATS IV) awarded December 1, 2024, both total small business set-asides running through 2029. By award count, the National Cancer Institute leads with 171 awards ($204.3 million combined potential value) centered on conference and administrative support services under the NIH Conference Administrative and Travel Services III (NIHCATS III) vehicle and related delivery orders.

The vendor holds a portfolio of large federal vehicles anchoring its prime footprint. Beyond EARTH, PICS III, and NIHCATS IV, Scientific Consulting Group holds the Health Resources and Services Administration's $85 million Marketing Campaign Services BPA (single award, through March 2029), the EPA Office of the Administrator's $11.6 million Environmental Technology Information Support BPA (multiple award, through June 2029), and the NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations' $43.9 million Office of AIDS Research Professional Support Services IDC (single award, through January 2027). The top five parent vehicles account for task-order activity: NIHCATS III carries 135 task orders ($11.3 million combined potential value); the GSA Federal Supply Schedule GS23F0175L carries 65 task orders ($2.1 million); EPA's 68HERC20D0017 technology transfer contract carries 31 task orders ($6.4 million); and the Multiple Award Schedule platform carries 22 task orders aggregating $5.98 billion in potential value.

Recent concrete work demonstrates the capability portfolio. A June 16, 2026 delivery order from the National Cancer Institute (total small business set-aside) covers Division of Extramural Activities conference and administrative support, valued at $1,033,207 through June 2029 on a time-and-materials basis, performed in Rockville, Maryland. A September 1, 2024 delivery order from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (no set-aside) provides scientific conference and logistics support valued at $12.251 million through August 2029 under the MAS vehicle, with SCI data showing $1.7 million in FY2024 invoicing across 4.1 FTEs at derived rates climbing from $124.64/hr in FY2022 to $204.85/hr in FY2024. A September 25, 2024 time-and-materials delivery order from the National Institute on Drug Abuse under PICS II covers NCATS communications and public liaison support services valued at $2.35 million through January 2026. The EPA Office of Air and Radiation issued a $8.876 million BPA call under the EARTH agreement on April 24, 2023 for Asthma Program communications and outreach, with SCI data capturing $215 thousand invoiced in FY2023 (0.6 FTEs, 1,219 hours) and $1.3 million in FY2024 (2.3 FTEs, 4,818 hours) at derived rates of $176.20/hr and $268.82/hr respectively.

Activity volume has remained steady over the past five years (13 awards in 2022, 11 in 2023, 12 in 2024) with minimal recent awards in 2025–2026 likely reflecting the timing lag between IDC award dates and visible task order placement. Four awards with combined potential value of $16.2 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoiced revenue across prime service contracts held steady at approximately $19 million annually from FY2022 through FY2024 (FY2022: 75.8 FTEs; FY2023: 84.9 FTEs; FY2024: 78.7 FTEs), with median government-paid rates at $125.57/hr and senior labor reaching the $197.50/hr range—consistent with a portfolio anchored on scientific communication, technical writing, program management, and conference planning. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor self-performed 97% of contractor hours, naming fifteen subcontractors at an average share of 3% of total hours, indicating a primarily self-delivery posture. The vendor operates as a subcontractor only in three recorded sub-awards: IT communications and change management support to Deloitte Consulting LLP (January 29, 2026), Sterling Computers Corporation (May 21, 2025), and IT1 Source LLC (March 5, 2025), representing minor sub exposure relative to the prime footprint.

GSA Schedule labor categories span eighteen roles from Junior Designer ($57.82/hr, high school, no clearance) through Project Manager ($214.68/hr, bachelor's, five years experience, no clearance required), with no security-cleared positions offered. The portfolio reflects Scientific Consulting Group's positioning as a non-cleared, civilian-sector scientific and administrative support provider without defense contracting depth.
