Walter R Mcdonald & Associates, Inc.

Walter R McDonald & Associates, Inc., doing business as WRMA, is a woman-owned small business subsidiary of Trimetrix, Inc., that operates as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) delivering data management, program evaluation, technical assistance, and strategic consulting services to federal health and human services agencies on indefinite delivery vehicles and delivery orders under the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule. The vendor competes predominantly on full-and-open vehicles (no set-aside designation on most prime awards) and holds seats on large government-wide IDIQs and schedule contracts with strong HHS concentration.

WRMA's customer base is heavily concentrated in the Department of Health and Human Services. The top five customers account for 96% of combined potential value across all awards. HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration anchors the portfolio with 33 awards valued at $721 million combined potential value, followed by HRSA Headquarters with 22 awards totaling $576.5 million. The Administration for Community Living holds $88.2 million across five awards, and the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) holds $79.1 million across 14 awards. This concentration reflects WRMA's deep positioning in HHS program evaluation, data systems support, and vulnerable-populations focused initiatives rather than agency diversification.

WRMA's capability portfolio centers on data systems engineering, program evaluation, and technical assistance for federal health and human services programs. Representative work includes a $344.7 million single-award IDIQ from HRSA (Health Resources and Services Administration) awarded September 2024 for evaluations and evidence-building services (program evaluations, needs assessments, predictive analytics, data optimization, and research dissemination), a $37.7 million firm fixed-price delivery order with HHS ACF for the National Center on Subsidy Innovation and Accountability (NCSIA), and a $21.1 million delivery order modification from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration for OCC Monitoring and Oversight System services. Additional work includes $9.3 million for Adult Protective Services Technical Assistance Resource Center technical support (time-and-materials, running through September 2029), $7.2 million for data systems and analysis support to HRSA, and a $10.9 million Department of Labor contract for expansion of registered apprenticeship programs in emerging industries. WRMA also manages the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS) for HHS ACF and provides food price data collection services to USDA Food and Nutrition Service.

WRMA's major vehicle positions include a $344.7 million single-award IDIQ with HRSA for evaluations and evidence building (ultimate completion September 2026), a $75 million multiple-award IDIQ with HHS Administration for Community Living (through January 2029, partial small business set-aside), and 25 task orders under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (combined potential value $103 million). The HHS Program Support Center IDIQ carries 16 task orders valued at $97.1 million. These vehicles represent the core contracting mechanism through which WRMA accesses federal customers, with delivery orders structured as firm fixed-price, time-and-materials, or labor-plus-materials arrangements.

Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years—five awards in 2022, five in 2023, seven in 2024, and two in each of 2025 and 2026 year-to-date—with a combined potential value of $1.57 billion across 119 total awards. Obligated dollars total $273.1 million (17% of combined potential value), indicating significant optionality embedded in the IDIQ vehicles. Eight awards valued at $90.3 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure concentrated in ACF, ACL, and HRSA work streams.

On SCI-reportable federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold, WRMA invoiced $59.6 million across three fiscal years (FY2022–FY2024): $17.4 million in FY2022, $17.5 million in FY2023, and $24.7 million in FY2024. The SCI dataset shows 62.9 FTEs delivered in FY2022, growing to 78.5 FTEs in FY2024. Government-paid rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $58.14 per hour to a median of $121.42 per hour and a 90th percentile of $175.20 per hour. WRMA's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 19 active categories ranging from $77.23 per hour (Report Production Staff, bachelor's degree, four years' experience) through $367.96 per hour (Senior Management Consultant, master's degree, fifteen years' experience), with no cleared positions offered.

WRMA operates with minimal subcontractor dependency across SCI-reportable prime contracts, where subs account for 12% of total contractor hours on average, with 21 named subcontractors reported across the portfolio. As a subcontractor, WRMA provides Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program operational expertise and data standardization work under HRSA prime contracts, full-stack development support on the National Child Welfare Data Management System under Precise Software Solutions as prime, and technical assistance collaboration on the National Center on Afterschool and Summer Enrichment under Education Development Center as prime. This sub-engagement reflects selective teaming on specialized program areas rather than a sub-primary business model.

WRMA has operated for over forty years and holds primary headquarters in Rockville, Maryland, with performance locations spanning North Bethesda, Arlington, Sacramento, and other sites corresponding to customer locations. The vendor's positioning as a HHS-focused, woman-owned evaluation and data-management specialist with strong IDIQ and schedule footprint positions it as a repeat player in federal health and human services program evaluation and technical assistance markets, with minimal direct Department of Defense or civilian IT exposure.
