Universal Strategy Group, Inc.

Universal Strategy Group, Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee, operates as a prime contractor delivering specialized personnel support and advisory services to federal agencies, with 85 percent of its 171 federal awards concentrated at the Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement. The company self-performs all work with no subcontractor engagement, competing predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides across BPA and IDIQ vehicles.

Universal Strategy Group's footprint is dominated by INL engagement through two principal parent vehicles: BPA 191NLE19A0005 (71 task orders, $830.5 million combined potential value) and BPA SINLEC14A0004 (62 task orders, $27.3 million combined potential value), both established as multi-year, multiple-award platforms for advisory, analytical, administrative, and specialized support services. The company holds a third INL vehicle, a bridge support services BPA established July 31, 2025, with a $6.5 million ceiling running through September 2026, extendable in six-month increments. Recent INL task orders awarded in 2026 procure program analysts, financial analysts, budget analysts, management analysts, training support specialists, program strategy analysts, cybercrime analysts, and anticorruption program advisors, with individual call ceilings ranging from approximately $245,971 to $659,803 and performance periods typically running twelve months with six-month extension options through March 2027. Work locations include Washington, D.C. headquarters offices and subordinate overseas embassy posts in support of INL's counternarcotics operations, international law enforcement, capacity building, and anticorruption missions.

Beyond its INL concentration, Universal Strategy Group holds two governmentwide OASIS+ multiple-award IDIQs through GSA: the OASIS+ SBA Certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business IDIQ (awarded September 30, 2024, five-year base through September 29, 2029) and the OASIS+ Total Small Business Set-Aside IDIQ (awarded December 19, 2024, five-year base through December 18, 2029). Both carry no specified dollar ceiling and span seven functional service domains—Management and Advisory, Technical and Engineering, Research and Development, Intelligence Services, Environmental Services, Facilities, and Logistics. The company also holds a Federal Railroad Administration BPA for technical writing, editorial, presentation, and communication services (notionally $80 million, termination for convenience issued, expiring January 29, 2028). United States Special Operations Command represents the second-largest customer by potential value—five awards totaling $1.4 billion, including a $950 million Special Operations Forces Core Support IDIQ—though SOCOM awards are significantly outweighed in count by INL's 146 awards.

Activity shows variability: thirteen awards in 2022, declining to six in 2023, then fluctuating between seven and nine annually through 2026. The combined potential value across 171 awards reaches $2.36 billion, but only $64.6 million (3 percent) is currently obligated, concentrated in FY2022 SCI-reported invoicing of $4.5 million across 27.3 FTEs. FY2023 through FY2025 show negligible SCI invoicing (0–0.7 FTEs), reflecting sparse near-term obligation across a backlog of high-ceiling, low-utilization vehicles. Recompete exposure is acute: 32 awards with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $781.4 million, nearly one-third of the vendor's total portfolio, concentrated in INL's legacy BPA platforms reaching end-of-service-life between late 2026 and 2029. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor's government-paid hourly rates run a median of $64.67/hr, with the 10th percentile at $51.39/hr and the 90th percentile at $107.79/hr. The GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 95 unique categories at rates from $46.44/hr (Security Specialist I, bachelor's, one year experience) to $333.30/hr (Subject Matter Expert V, master's, twenty-five years experience with security clearance), with typical mid-range specialist roles priced between $97–$163/hr. The vendor's award history across NAICS and PSC codes reflects pure administrative management and consulting services positioning: 160 of 171 awards fall under NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), and 150 awards carry PSC code Y3 (Support–Professional: Program Management/Support).
