What Econometrica, Inc. does

Econometrica, Inc. is a Bethesda, Maryland-based research and management consulting firm founded in 1998 that delivers data analytics, health policy research, and housing and community development services primarily to U.S. federal agencies. The firm operates through four service groups: a Data Analytics Group (econometric analysis, statistics, program evaluation, application development, and machine learning/AI), a Health Group (policy research, health services research, quality improvement, and learning solutions), a Housing and Finance Group (Fair Market Rent surveys, technical assistance, audits, and housing policy research), and a Communications/Design and Editorial group providing graphic design, web development, and Section 508 compliance. Named proprietary tools include the MEPS-HC Health Policy Booklet Abstraction Tool (combining cognitive services with human review), interactive Tableau-based dashboards for USDA Foods and other federal programs, an online reporting system for the Indian Health Service Tribal Injury Prevention program, and a homeowner Financial Structuring Dashboard built for Spokane under a HUD cooperative agreement.

Econometrica earns the majority of its revenue through federal contract vehicles including IDIQ contracts (e.g., CMS RMADA 2), task orders, cooperative agreements, and as a small-business subcontractor to primes such as Mathematica, Acumen, Westat, SoftDev, and Urban Institute. Its federal customer base spans CMS, HUD, USDA, AHRQ, CDC, FEMA, and DoD, with recent prime engagements including the HUD RAD Choice Mobility evaluation and the AHRQ $1.2M Primary Care Practice-Based Research Networks contract alongside Mathematica. The firm has also begun productizing portions of its expertise through a direct-to-customer online training platform (e.g., $30-per-user OASIS-E1 course on LearnWorlds) and nonprofit healthcare engagements, most notably a contract with AOPO and 54 OPOs to develop validated Organ Procurement Organization performance measures.

The operating model is anchored by a credentials-heavy compliance posture: CMMC Level 2 certification (top 1% of DoD contractors), 3-year CMMI Level 3 recertification, ISO 9001, 20000-1, 22301, and 27001 certifications, and Section 508 compliance. With roughly 90+ employees and 250+ lifetime federal contracts totaling more than $73M over the past five years, the firm sustains a project-based professional services revenue model supplemented by channel partnerships, public-comment and stakeholder-engagement marketing, and emerging self-serve online training revenue.
