About the company

Tunnell Consulting Inc., doing business as KW Tunnell Federal Services Group, a subsidiary of parent K W Tunnell Company Inc., delivers advanced subject matter expertise in biotechnology, biopharmaceuticals, medical countermeasures, regulatory science, and public health emergency preparedness to federal civilian health and defense agencies as a prime contractor exclusively—180 awards totaling $11.7 billion in combined potential value across 42 customer agencies, with no sub-award footprint. Tunnell competes full-and-open across GSA Multiple Award Schedule vehicles and single-award blanket purchase agreements; it holds no set-aside designations and does not target socioeconomic categories.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily anchored to two agencies. The Defense Health Agency dominates potential value with 4 awards carrying $10.01 billion combined ceiling (driven by the $10 billion Omnibus IV Military Medical Research and Development IDIQ awarded June 20, 2022, through June 19, 2032), while the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) leads award count with 31 awards worth $1.22 billion in combined potential value. The Food and Drug Administration ranks third by value at 12 awards, $194.3 million combined potential. The Treasury Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau accounts for 31 awards but carries no dollar value in the source. Top customer rankings diverge significantly: by award count, Treasury ATF and ASPR tie at 31 each and cover 49% of all awards; by potential value, Defense Health Agency's single massive IDIQ accounts for 85% of the $11.7 billion total. Active SCI-reportable work in FY2023–FY2025 shows invoiced federal-services revenue of $58.7 million (FY2023), $68.5 million (FY2024), and $67.7 million (FY2025)—a flat trajectory—across 119–148 FTEs annually. Median government-paid rates on prime SCI contracts run $238.22/hour, with specialist and executive-level work pricing between $223.70/hour and $496.37/hour on GSA Schedule labor categories.

Tunnell's capability portfolio centers on staffing expert consultants—toxicologists, human factors engineers, anesthesiologists, regulatory scientists, program managers, and advanced biopharmaceutical subject matter experts—to support FDA regulatory review, ASPR biodefense and BARDA medical countermeasure development, and Defense Health Agency military medical research. Recent prime work includes a $658.8 million delivery order (June 5, 2025, through June 4, 2035) from ASPR for advanced professional scientific expertise in biotechnology and biopharmaceuticals R&D and regulatory licensure guidance under GSA MAS, a $83.3 million ASPR delivery order for BARDA Platform Component Integration SME support (awarded August 2, 2023, completed August 31, 2025), a $88.5 million ASPR delivery order for biopharmaceuticals R&D and regulatory approval expertise (awarded July 13, 2023, completed August 31, 2025), and a $40.9 million HHS single-award BPA (October 7, 2022, through October 14, 2025) providing technical, scientific, clinical, and pharmaceutical subject matter expertise to ASPR. FDA work includes a $3.6 million BPA call (April 20, 2026, through April 19, 2027) for scientific and technical capacity in regulatory review under the FDA's $75 million single-award Professional and Scientific Support BPA, and a $14.9 million BPA call (July 28, 2025, through July 29, 2026) providing up to 32 advanced scientific consultants to the Center for Devices and Radiological Health.

Tunnell places task orders through two parent vehicles: the Federal Supply Schedule GS23F9786H, with 106 task orders worth $24.4 million combined potential value, and the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule, with 37 task orders worth $1.27 billion combined potential value. The vendor operates primarily on GSA MAS delivery orders and BPA calls; its single large IDIQ (Omnibus IV) has generated only one $2,500 task order in the source period. One award—the FDA BPA call for scientific and technical capacity—faces ultimate completion on April 19, 2027, representing $27.9 million in recompete exposure within the next twenty-four months. Activity has declined year over year: seven awards in 2022, five in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026, though the source does not capture obligated dollars or actual deployment rates at the task-order level. Across SCI-reported prime contracts, Tunnell self-performs 96% of contractor hours internally, with subcontractors representing 4% share; only one named subcontractor (Absolute Business Solutions Inc., a minority-owned small disadvantaged business, and Goldbelt Frontier LLC, an Alaska Native Corporation, both on the HHS OIG HCORE BPA FD 2 call) appears in the source. The vendor's corporate structure includes a subsidiary, Tunnell Government Services, Inc., which does not appear in the named award footprint in the source.
