Weems Design Studio, Inc.

Weems Design Studio, Inc., a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Decatur, Georgia, provides scientific staffing, program management, software development, and administrative support services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across multiple civilian research and operational programs. The company operates as a Subchapter S corporation and competes predominantly on a full-and-open basis, with some work under total small business set-asides; it does not serve as a subcontractor and operates exclusively in the prime role across its federal footprint.

Weems Design Studio's customer base is heavily concentrated in civilian health and research agencies. The National Cancer Institute alone accounts for 204 awards (73% of the award count) with $147.2 million in combined potential value, driven by a single-award $98 million Blanket Purchase Agreement for scientific staffing services running through July 31, 2027. Task orders under this NCI BPA fund specialized scientific personnel—biologists, microbiologists, bioinformatics scientists, clinical protocol coordinators, program managers, laboratory technicians—placed at NCI research centers including the Laboratory of Cancer Biology and Genetics, Experimental Immunology Branch, Center for Immuno-Oncology, Radiation Oncology Branch, and Developmental Therapeutics Branch. The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (13 awards, $212 million combined potential value) ranks second by dollar magnitude; Weems holds a $175 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with ASPR (single award, total small business set-aside, through March 29, 2025) for professional, technical, and medical staffing support to Centers for HHS Coordination Operations and Industrial Base Management. The Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (14 awards, $47.6 million) and the Department of Agriculture (6 awards, $120.1 million across the Office of Human Resource Management and Food and Nutrition Service) round out the top customer tier. One outlier—Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command—appears in the potential-value ranking with 2 awards valued at $5.28 billion combined, though the source does not clarify whether this represents a single large placeholder or multiple contract vehicles; this concentration diverges sharply from the award-count distribution and warrants scrutiny in pursuit strategy.

Weems Design Studio operates out of four primary parent vehicles. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) anchors the portfolio with 458 task orders valued at $450.5 million combined potential value, serving as the contracting mechanism for most NCI, USDA, and administrative staffing work. The $98 million NCI Blanket Purchase Agreement for scientific staffing services (single award, no set-aside, through July 31, 2027) and the $175 million ASPR Indefinite Delivery Contract (single award, total small business set-aside, through March 29, 2025) represent the two largest standalone IDVs. A $100 million USDA Blanket Purchase Agreement for software design, development, implementation, and support services (single award, no set-aside, through September 29, 2026) supports modernization initiatives including Enterprise Performance Management Application CI/CD, Customer Relationship Management System development, and retirement processing platforms. A $45 million Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations BPA for administrative staffing services (single award, total small business set-aside, through September 1, 2026) funds personnel placements at NIH divisions including International Services, Medical Arts, and occupational safety roles.

Weems Design Studio's capability portfolio centers on scientific and professional staffing placement across federal research and administrative functions. Representative work includes a $10.7 million labor-hours call from NCI for scientific support services to the Radiation Oncology Branch (July 1, 2025); a $1.54 million firm fixed-price call for intramural research, psychologist, and animal biologist positions (September 29, 2025); a $4.4 million call from USDA Office of Human Resource Management for Enterprise Performance Management Application CI/CD services (September 30, 2025); a $7.7 million CRMS development and deployment contract for the Office of Administrative Services (August 31, 2023, extending through September 29, 2028); and multiple $5.6 million to $5.1 million delivery orders from ASPR for professional medical and technical staffing supporting Industrial Base Management and Supply Chain operations (September 2024–March 2025). Weems Design Studio's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 34 categories ranging from administrative support ($51.48/hr) through senior physician policy researcher roles ($296.73/hr); education requirements span bachelor's through doctorate degrees, with no security-cleared positions offered. SCI-reported invoiced revenue totaled $26 million across FY2022–FY2024 (SCI captures service contracts above the $150,000 threshold only and excludes goods and non-federal revenue): $6.1 million in FY2022 across 35.6 FTEs, $9 million in FY2023 across 71.8 FTEs, and $10.9 million in FY2024 across 45.7 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts run a median of $71.13/hr, with rates spanning $36.32/hr (10th percentile) to $130.33/hr (90th percentile). Across SCI-reportable work, Weems Design Studio performed 100% of hours in-house with zero subcontractor engagement on average, indicating a self-delivery operational model.

Activity has grown substantially and then contracted. Awards per year rose from 41 in 2022 to 79 in 2023 before declining to 61 in 2024 and falling to 35 in 2025 and 25 in 2026 (partial year). The combined potential value across all 280 awards stands at $5.91 billion, though only $162.8 million (3%) is obligated—a ratio indicating substantial ceiling room and future ordering capacity. Forty-four awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $40.5 million and face recompete in that window. The vendor's award footprint spans 18 distinct customer agencies, with the top five accounting for 90% of award count and 98% of combined potential value. Top NAICS classifications include Custom Computer Programming Services (238 awards) and All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (19 awards); top PSC codes are Support–Professional–Other (240 awards) and IT and Telecom–Application Development Software (10 awards), reflecting the scientific staffing and software modernization focus.
