Weems Design Studio, Inc.

Weems Design Studio, Inc., a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Decatur, Georgia, provides scientific staffing placement, software engineering, program management, and administrative support services to federal civilian research and health agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) with no subcontractor engagement. The company operates as a Subchapter S corporation and competes on a full-and-open basis across its federal portfolio, with no recurring set-aside posture in its recent prime work, though it holds one small-business-set-aside administrative staffing BPA with the Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations.

Weems' customer base is heavily concentrated in civilian health and research agencies. The National Cancer Institute dominates both volume and dollars: 205 awards (72% of award count) valued at $147.1 million combined potential value, anchored by a single-award $98 million Blanket Purchase Agreement for scientific staffing services running through July 31, 2027. The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response ranks second by dollar magnitude with 12 awards worth $210.9 million—a figure driven largely by two defense-industrial-base contracts with potential values around $5.6 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively, which are outliers in Weems' civilian portfolio and likely represent indefinite-delivery parent vehicles rather than typical task orders. The Department of Agriculture Office of Human Resource Management contributes 7 awards valued at $124.7 million. The Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (a sub-office of NIH) accounts for 16 awards worth $47.9 million in administrative and occupational safety staffing placements. Five agencies account for 89% of recent awards by count.

Weems' core capability footprint splits between two distinct service lines. Scientific staffing dominates NCI work: specialized personnel placement including biologists, microbiologists, bioinformatics scientists, clinical protocol coordinators, laboratory technicians, and program managers across NCI research centers such as the Laboratory of Cancer Biology and Genetics, Experimental Immunology Branch, Center for Immuno-Oncology, Radiation Oncology Branch, and Developmental Therapeutics Branch. Representative awards include a $10.7 million labor-hours call for the Radiation Oncology Branch (July 2025), a $1.54 million firm fixed-price call for intramural research and psychologist positions (September 2025), and a $663,355 professional services call for the Center for Cancer Research (July 2026). The second line is enterprise software modernization and IT systems work: Weems delivers continuous integration/continuous development services for the Department of Agriculture's Enterprise Performance Management Application, web application modernization and retirement processing support for USDA and HHS financial systems, and customer relationship management system development. Representative awards include a $4.58 million USDA EPMA CI/CD call (September 2026), a $9.99 million USDA Direct Premium Remittance Web Application modernization call (September 2026), and a $7.72 million customer relationship management system development and deployment contract (August 2023).

Weems holds 468 task orders valued at $480.4 million combined potential value under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, the dominant vehicle across its footprint. The company's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 34 active categories, with hourly rates ranging from $51.48 (Administrative Support Assistant II) through $296.73 (Senior Physician Policy Researcher), encompassing roles from administrative support through senior scientific and medical positions, with education requirements from bachelor's through doctorate but no security-cleared positions. Two other indefinite-delivery contracts carry significant weight: an Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Naval Sea Systems Command carrying a multi-billion-dollar ceiling ($5.28 billion combined potential value across 2 awards) suggests Weems may hold a government-wide or Navy-wide vehicle, and an IDC 75A50121D00010 with ASPR (11 task orders, $35.9 million). A $45 million single-award BPA with the Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations for administrative staffing (established September 2025, through September 2030) funds occupational safety, visa coordination, project management, and security staffing at NIH facilities and Rocky Mountain Laboratory.

Weems' recent activity shows a declining trend: 41 awards in 2022, peaking to 79 in 2023, then declining to 61 in 2024, 35 in 2025, and 30 in 2026 year-to-date. Forty-four awards (combined potential value $48.4 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure primarily in NCI scientific staffing calls and USDA software modernization work. Across Service Contract Inventory reporting (FY2022–FY2024), Weems invoiced $26 million in SCI-reportable federal service contract revenue. The vendor's SCI-reported workforce scaled from 35.6 FTEs in FY2022 to 71.8 FTEs in FY2023, then contracted to 45.7 FTEs in FY2024, reflecting task-order-driven staffing patterns. Median government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts ran $71.13/hour, with rates spanning $36.32 to $130.33/hour depending on role and qualifications. Weems performs 100 percent of hours in-house across SCI-reportable work with zero subcontractor engagement, delivering all services as a self-delivery prime. The company's 285 prime awards (100% of recent awards) carry a combined potential value of $5.93 billion, with only $171.8 million (3%) obligated to date, indicating substantial opportunity upside across open-ceiling vehicles. Weems serves 18 distinct federal agencies; NCI and ASPR concentration leaves significant customer diversification opportunity among the top five funding agencies, which collectively account for 98% of combined potential value.
