ACCEL SOLUTIONS, LLC — Intelligence Dossier

Prepared: 2026-08-27 · Revised after independent verification — see DOSSIER-VERDICT.md Purpose: Teaming / subcontract approach assessment Classification: Open-source business intelligence, prepared for a teaming decision. Every hard number carries a source. Inference is marked inference.


1. BOTTOM LINE

Accel Solutions is a home-based, single-principal federal advisory committee (FACA) support specialist that built $14.7M of lifetime federal revenue on sole-source awards — 42.5% explicitly coded 8(a) sole source, 64.7% counting the FAR 6.302-5(a)(2)(i) statutory hook — and whose 8(a) participation expired 2025-03-13. ⚠️ The remaining 34.8% ($5,118,174.84) came via FAR 6.302-1(b)(1) "unique source," which does not depend on 8(a) status and therefore survived graduation.

Four facts dominate any teaming decision:

  1. The 8(a) is gone. SBA's authoritative registry shows 8(a) exit date 2025-03-13. SAM and the company's own website still advertise "8(a) certified." That claim is stale.
  2. They have never won a competitive award. All 12 of 12 obligating prime awards across 11 years received exactly one offer. 100% of revenue arrived sole-source or non-competed.
  3. Their anchor customer already recompeted them out. The ONC/ASTP support work was recompeted in Aug 2025 and won by Chickasaw Health Consulting ($8.4M). Accel now holds a $182,765 subcontract on the vehicle it used to prime.
  4. Revenue is down 88% from peak ($2.63M in FY2023 → $306,980 in FY2026), and their remaining FDA contract expires 2026-09-11 — 15 days from this writing — with no option years left.

Read for a teaming approach: Accel is not a prime to shelter under — it is a firm that just lost its sole-source engine and has no demonstrated competitive capture capability. But it holds a genuinely rare and portable niche credential (FACA/advisory-committee management across four agencies) and a fresh WOSB/EDWOSB certification (2026-03-10). The realistic play is a peer teaming arrangement into competitive small-business set-asides, where each side supplies what the other lacks — not a subcontract flow-down from a healthy prime. See §9.


2. ENTITY IDENTIFICATION — AND THE DUAL-UEI QUESTION RESOLVED

Field Value Source
Legal name ACCEL SOLUTIONS, LLC VA SCC entity S4075596
VA SCC Entity ID S4075596 VA SCC CIS
Formation date 2012-05-15 VA SCC CIS
Entity status Active (status date 2020-07-28) VA SCC CIS
Entity type Limited Liability Company, perpetual duration VA SCC CIS
Address 6401 Caleb Ct, Alexandria, VA 22315-3732 VA SCC / SAM / SBA
Jurisdiction Virginia, Fairfax County, VA-08 VA SCC / USAspending
CAGE code 6RNF9 SBA SBS profile
Current UEI H18BTKJP1VA5 SBA SBS profile, SAM status Active
Legacy UEI MSCVXFDMNMB9 (DUNS 078481208) USAspending recipient record

Why there are two UEIs

Both UEIs resolve to the same single legal entity — the Virginia SCC returns exactly one "ACCEL SOLUTIONS" record, so there is no second company.

The two ran concurrently for four fiscal years (FY2022–FY2025), which is not normal and caused a real contract-administration problem. FDA contract 75F40121P00502 carries two modifications explicitly fixing it:

P00004 (signed 2023-03-06): "THE PURPOSE OF THIS MODIFICATION IS TO UPDATE THE UEI INFORMATION THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY INCORRECT AND BEING SENT TO THE WRONG BANK. THE UEI NUMBER IS NOW H18BTKJP1VA5." P00005 (2023-07-05): same language, with $345,024.00 obligated

Determination: H18BTKJP1VA5 is the current UEI. Evidence: it is the UEI on the SBA certification profile (SAM registration status Active, profile last updated 2026-02-01); it is the UEI on both post-2022 awards; and MSCVXFDMNMB9 returns 0 results in SBA's registry (positive control passed — see §4).

inference The likely trigger for the second registration is the 2021-04-13 sale of 6401 Caleb Ct (§3) combined with the government-wide DUNS→UEI transition of April 2022 — an address change plus a system migration, producing a duplicate rather than an update. This is unconfirmed.

⚠️ Practical warning for any teaming paperwork: confirm which UEI the counterparty intends to contract under before signing anything. This entity has a documented history of UEI errors severe enough to require bilateral contract modifications.


3. OWNERSHIP AND PRINCIPALS

Principal: KIMBERLY FRIERSON — verified across three independent sources.

Source What it establishes
Virginia SCC (authoritative) Registered Agent, RA Type "Individual", RA Qualification: "Member or Manager of the Limited Liability Company" — this is ownership/control-level standing, not a hired agent service
SBA Small Business Search (authoritative) Listed Contact Person for the certified entity
LinkedIn / Crunchbase Title given as Chief Executive Officer, Accel Solutions LLC

The Virginia SCC record is the strongest evidence: Virginia requires an RA who qualifies under a specific statutory category, and "Member or Manager of the LLC" is a legal attestation of membership in the LLC.

Background: not independently verified; omitted rather than repeat aggregator claims.

Note on the email address: SBA lists the contact mailbox as kwilson@accelsolutionsllc.com. It does not match the principal's surname; treat it as the registered business contact, and do not assume a second person exists.

Other principals: none identified. SBA's "Current Principals" field reads "Not Provided." The company website's About Us page names no leadership at all — no founder, no executives, no team. USAspending's executive-compensation block returns five null officers. inference This is consistent with a very small firm, likely owner-plus-contract-staff.

EDWOSB confirmation: The EDWOSB certification requires a woman owner who is both economically disadvantaged and holds ≥51% ownership with control. SBA granted EDWOSB on 2026-03-10, which means SBA affirmatively vetted Frierson's majority ownership and control as of that date. This is the single most reliable ownership fact in the dossier.

Home-based: CONFIRMED

6401 Caleb Ct is a single-family residence, not commercial space. The firm has no separate office.

It is simultaneously the registered office, the principal office, the SAM business address, and — critically — the place of performance on the active HITAC contract (Alexandria VA 22315-3732). Remote performance is explicitly authorized on the FDA contract:

75F40121P00502 P00006 (2023-11-03): "THE PURPOSE OF THIS MODIFICATION IS TO UPDATE THE PLACE OF PERFORMANCE TO ALLOW THE CONTRACTOR TO WORK RE[MOTELY]"

By contrast, the FDA CDER contract's place of performance was Silver Spring, MD 20993 — the FDA White Oak campus — i.e. that work was performed on-site at the customer.


4. 8(a) STATUS — THE CENTRAL QUESTION

VERDICT: THE 8(a) HAS EXPIRED. It ended 2025-03-13.

Queried against SBA's authoritative public certification registry at search.certifications.sba.gov:

Positive control run first. UEI FTHSR55SMJD4 → exactly 1 result, ENHANCE BUSINESS CONSULTING INC. (VOSB/SDVOSB, contact Robert Knuckles Jr). Control passed, so the searches below are trustworthy.

Target result (UEI H18BTKJP1VA5, fresh navigation to root before query):

ACCEL SOLUTIONS, LLC
Current SBA certifications:  WOSB   EDWOSB
Previous SBA certifications: 8(a)

From the full SBA profile record (/profile/H18BTKJP1VA5/6RNF9, read 2026-08-27 10:13 AM EDT):

Certification Status Entrance Exit
8(a) Business Development Program Previously certified 2015-03-13 2025-03-13
Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Certified 2026-03-10 2029-03-10
Economically-Disadvantaged WOSB (EDWOSB) Certified 2026-03-10 2029-03-10

SBA Servicing Office: Washington Metropolitan Area District Office (office code 0353).

Reading the dates

The 8(a) term ran exactly 10 years, not the statutory 9. inference This is almost certainly the one-year COVID extension SBA offered program participants under Section 8 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, which let participants elect to extend their program term by 12 months. A 2015 entrant electing that extension exits in 2025. Nothing here suggests early termination or adverse action — this reads as normal graduation by term completion.

Why this matters more than it first appears

Accel did not merely lose a marketing label. 8(a) sole-source authority produced 42.5% of lifetime revenue explicitly, and 64.7% including the FAR 6.302-5(a)(2)(i) hook (§7). But 34.8% arrived under FAR 6.302-1(b)(1) "unique source" — an authority independent of 8(a) that they still hold. With the 8(a) expired:

Contradictions to raise carefully

Three sources still assert an active 8(a) that SBA says ended:

  1. SAM.gov self-attestation — still lists "8(a) Program Participant" in the business-types array (visible in the USAspending recipient record for both UEIs). SAM attestations are self-reported and unvetted; SBA's own profile page explicitly disclaims them: "Small businesses attested to these ownership traits when registering with SAM.gov. These attestations are not vetted by SBA."
  2. The company's own website (accelsolutionsllc.com/about-us) — describes the firm as a "woman-owned, minority, 8(a) certified, small business enterprise." This is a live marketing claim that has been inaccurate for 17 months.
  3. Third-party aggregators (GovConInABox, RocketReach, etc.) — all repeat "8(a) certified," having scraped the stale SAM record.

Do not treat this as fraud. Stale SAM records are extremely common and the website copy is likely simple neglect. But do treat the SBA registry as controlling, and note that a firm which has not updated its own capability claims in 17 months is telling you something about its business-development intensity.


5. REVENUE HISTORY — CORRECTED AND COMPLETE

Accel Solutions federal revenue, FY2015 to FY2026 A line chart of Accel Solutions' combined federal prime obligations across both of its UEIs, rising from $401,776 in FY2015 to a peak of $2,633,642 in FY2023, then falling 88 percent to $306,980 in FY2026. Two events are marked on the same axis: the 8(a) programme exit on 2025-03-13 and the FDA export-certificate contract ending 2026-09-11 with no option years remaining. $3.0M $2.4M $1.8M $1.2M $600K $0 FDA EXPORT-CERTIFICATE CONTRACT ENDS 2026-09-11 · NO OPTION YEARS LEFT 8(a) SOLE-SOURCE AUTHORITY ENDS 2025-03-13 PEAK · $2,633,642 $306,980 FY2015 FY2016 FY2017 FY2018 FY2019 FY2020 FY2021 FY2022 FY2023 FY2024 FY2025 FY2026 Peak to today: −88.3%. Every dollar on this line arrived on a contract that drew exactly one offer. LEGEND Combined obligations · both UEIs 8(a) exit · 2025-03-13 Contract cliff · 2026-09-11
Eleven years of sole-source revenue, and the fifteen days left of it

Critical This section materially corrects the working figures. A profile built on UEI H18BTKJP1VA5 alone captures $4,956,131 — only 34% of the company's federal history. Adding legacy UEI MSCVXFDMNMB9 brings the true lifetime total to $14,693,955.46.

The shape of the decline

Funding sources (both UEIs, lifetime)

Federal account Amount Share
075-0130 — Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) $7,851,190.59 53.4%
075-0600 — Salaries & Expenses, FDA $5,980,516.78 40.7%
012-1400 — Salaries & Expenses, USDA Agricultural Research Service $747,923.85 5.1%
069-0102 / 069-8350 / 069-8159 — DOT (OST, FTA, FMCSA) $114,324.24 0.8%

Critical Correction to the working brief: ONC is 53%, not ~100%. FDA is 41%. Restricting to the current UEI alone would have shown ONC at just 35% (with FDA at 65%). Neither single-UEI view is representative. The company is roughly two-thirds HHS-diversified between ONC and FDA, with a real but small non-HHS tail at USDA and DOT.


6. CONTRACT PORTFOLIO

⚠️ Reconciliation gate. The awards below total $14,693,955.46, matching §5 exactly. An earlier revision of this section listed only eleven awards totalling $11,571,812.62 and left $3,122,142.84 (21.2%) of lifetime revenue unaccounted for — the omission below. Any future edit to this section must re-sum against §5; an unexplained gap means the query is unfinished, not that the money is missing.

Why it was missed: the first sweep queried only award_type_codes A/B/C/D and never touched the IDV families, so the parent vehicle never surfaced. Why it matters twice over: it is the single largest award in the portfolio, and it was not an 8(a) action — it is one of the two FAR 6.302-1(b)(1) unique-source awards that survive 8(a) graduation (§4). It also received exactly one offer, so the single-offer finding strengthens to 12 of 12.

2026-04-24 P00004 $306,980.19 Exercise Option Period 2

Interpretation. This contract is being deliberately shrunk, not merely underfunded. A bilateral scope-reduction mod in March 2026 was followed one month later by an Option Period 2 exercise at $306,980 versus Option Period 1's $729,326 — a 58% cut. Option Period 2 runs 2026-09-02 → 2027-09-01, so the descoped year begins in 6 days. The government is keeping Accel on contract at roughly 42% of prior scale.

The two COR reversals inside four months (P00001, P00002) suggest program-office churn on the customer side — consistent with the 2025 HHS restructuring that reorganized ONC into ASTP. inference

Both ended within a month of each other in September 2024 — that concurrence is the mechanical cause of the FY2024→FY2026 revenue collapse.

The ONC FACA contract (75P00120C00050) took a −$696,307.74 deobligation on 2025-08-06, nearly a year after expiry — about 18.9% of its face value returned unspent.

The FDA CDER contract description names the COR: Divine Agbale, divine.agbale@fda.hhs.gov. Note: several third-party aggregators (GovConInABox among them) mis-scrape this FDA official as Accel's own point of contact. He is the government's COR, not Accel personnel. Do not contact him as a route to the company.

Every award in company history received exactly one offer. The single award marked "competed" is a $37,477 simplified-acquisition action that still drew one bid.

Accel has no demonstrated record of winning a contested competition. For a firm that has just lost sole-source eligibility, this is the most important risk fact in the dossier.

Note the coding contradiction on 75F40122C00164 ($3.2M, the largest award): type_set_aside reads "NO SET ASIDE USED" while the justification is FAR 6.302-5(a)(2)(i) "AUTHORIZED BY STATUTE." That FAR citation is the statutory hook for 15 U.S.C. 637(a) — the 8(a) program. inference This is an 8(a) award with an inconsistent set-aside field, a common FPDS coding error. Flagged rather than silently resolved.


7. THE ONC RECOMPETE — ALREADY LOST

How the ONC advisory-committee work moved from Accel to Chickasaw A three-lane swimlane. Accel Solutions primed the ONC Federal Advisory Committee Support contract on 8(a) sole source from 2020 to 2024 and carved out a narrower HITAC follow-on it still holds. After its 8(a) expired on 2025-03-13, HHS recompeted the requirement as a total small-business set-aside under full and open competition; Chickasaw Health Consulting won it at $8,445,324, and Accel returned to the same vehicle as a $182,765 subcontractor in September 2025. 8(a) SOLE-SOURCE AUTHORITY EXPIRES 2025-03-13 BEFORE AFTER ACCEL SOLUTIONS prime → sub HHS · ONC → ASTP the customer CHICKASAW HEALTH CONSULTING, LLC the new prime RECOMPETED AWARDED SUBCONTRACT PRIME Federal Advisory Committee Support 75P00120C00050 8(a) sole source · 1 offer $2,984,659 · to 2024-08-31 PRIME HITAC follow-on still held by Accel 75P00124C00019 8(a) sole source · 1 offer awarded 2024-08-22 RECOMPETE Requirement recompeted small business set-aside full and open competition signed 2025-08-27 · DOI IBC PRIME Chickasaw Health Consulting, LLC 140D0425F0766 $8,445,324 · won 2025-08-31 → 2027-08-30 SUB Accel subcontracts on its old vehicle 782-01930-0000-02 $182,765 · 2025-09-24 the only subaward on record Ordered by date.

  5. 2026-03-27 / 2026-04-24: Accel's surviving HITAC contract is descoped and its Option 2 funded at 42% of Option 1.

The pattern is unambiguous. Once Accel could no longer be handed the work sole-source, the requirement went competitive and a larger, more capture-capable firm took it. Accel was retained as a small sub — plausibly to preserve continuity of the specific HITAC institutional knowledge. inference

7.1 The Chickasaw relationship — thinner than it looks

Field Value
Sub-award ID 782-01930-0000-02
Date 2025-09-24
Amount $182,765.44
Prime CHICKASAW HEALTH CONSULTING, LLC (PK29BHT5S9C5)
Prime award 140D0425F0766

Scope (verbatim excerpt): "expert consulting on strategic planning, project management, and creating high level briefing materials for the COO … maintaining list of priority projects outlined by OCOO … tracking milestones and progress for strategic projects … meeting with OCOO division directors, deputies and branch chiefs to identify risks … Microsoft Office Suite, Salesforce, SharePoint, MS Teams, and Tableau."

This is a single, recent, one-off subaward — not a recurring relationship. A search of all USAspending subaward records for "ACCEL SOLUTIONS" returns exactly one result. As of 2026-08-27 there is no evidence of a second Chickasaw subaward, and the arrangement is ~11 months old.

Chickasaw Health Consulting scale (prime obligations by FY, UEI PK29BHT5S9C5):

FY Amount FY Amount
2017 $4,586,094 2022 $58,373,799 ← peak
2018 $12,127,237 2023 $29,238,765
2019 $19,710,491 2024 $14,984,404
2020 $16,640,051 2025 $7,504,715
2021 $47,478,105 2026 $3,868,188
TOTAL $214,511,848

⚠️ Chickasaw is declining too — and faster in absolute terms. From a $58.4M peak in FY2022 to $3.9M in FY2026, a 93% fall. Chickasaw Health Consulting sits in the Chickasaw Nation Industries (CNI) tribal 8(a) family, whose entities enjoy no 9-year term limit and unlimited-ceiling sole-source authority — a structural advantage Accel has permanently lost. But the specific CHC entity is not currently a growth platform.

Assessment: the Chickasaw relationship is real but immature and small ($182,765). It is a lead, not a moat. It is also the single most useful thing Accel currently possesses, because it is their live connection to the vehicle that now owns their former customer.


8. WHAT THEY ACTUALLY DO — THE CAPABILITY READ

The public marketing ("management consulting, information technology, and professional staff augmentation") is generic and unhelpful. The contract record shows something much sharper.

Core competency: Federal Advisory Committee (FACA) management

This is the through-line across four agencies and eleven years (12 obligating prime awards; §6 reconciles to §5's $14,693,955.46 exactly):

FACA support is a genuine, narrow, portable specialty. Running a chartered federal advisory committee means managing charters and renewals, member nomination and vetting, Federal Register notices, public-meeting logistics, transcripts and minutes, conflict-of-interest screening, and recommendation tracking. Nearly every cabinet department runs advisory committees, and few small firms specialize in this. This is Accel's most valuable and most transferable asset — considerably more so than the "management consulting" label suggests.

Secondary line: FDA regulatory operations support

Tertiary / dormant: USDA ARS data services

Database administration, programming, and project management, 2015–2019 (~$748K). No activity in seven years.

Data-hygiene signals — read these as tells

inference Taken together, this is a firm whose business-development apparatus is essentially inactive. That is a risk — and simultaneously the opening described below.


9. TEAMING ASSESSMENT

What Enhance Business Consulting and Accel Solutions each bring A two-set Venn diagram. Enhance Business Consulting holds SDVOSB and VOSB certification and an active New Jersey mortgage loan originator licence, NMLS 98689. Accel Solutions holds an eleven-year federal advisory committee niche, $14,693,955 of past performance across eleven prime contracts and four agencies, and fresh WOSB and EDWOSB certification with an expired 8(a). The two sets overlap only on NAICS code 541611. Both firms share one gap: neither has ever won a competitive federal prime award. ENHANCE BUSINESS CONSULTING INC. SDVOSB · Bronx NY · UEI FTHSR55SMJD4 ACCEL SOLUTIONS, LLC WOSB/EDWOSB · Alexandria VA · UEI H18BTKJP1VA5 SDVOSB + VOSB certified 2026-08-20 → 2029-08-20 NMLS 98689 NJ mortgage loan originator continuously licensed since 2004 FACA advisory-committee work HHS · DOT · FTA · FMCSA — 11 years $14,693,955 past performance 11 prime contracts · 4 agencies FY2015 – FY2026, both UEIs WOSB + EDWOSB certified 2026-03-10 8(a) expired 2025-03-13 NAICS 541611 the only code both firms hold SHARED GAP — neither firm holds a competitive federal prime win. Enhance: zero federal awards. Accel: all 11 prime contracts received exactly one offer.
Two firms that share almost nothing — which is the point

What Accel brings

Asset Strength
FACA/advisory-committee specialization Strong. Rare, narrow, credential-like, portable across departments. Past performance at HHS, DOT, FTA, FMCSA.
FDA regulatory operations past performance Strong. Eight years continuous, two program areas, including on-site CDER technical work.
Incumbency at HITAC Moderate and eroding. Runs to 2027-09-01 with options to 2029. Ceiling cut 36.5% by mod P00003 (2026-03-27, −$1,373,070.94 → $2,386,251.81); option-year funding fell 58%. Two distinct figures — keep them apart.
WOSB / EDWOSB certification Moderate. Freshly SBA-certified 2026-03-10 — real, vetted, and usable for competitive set-asides.
Chickasaw sub relationship Weak but live. One subaward, $182,765, ~11 months old.
Prime past performance depth Moderate. $14.7M lifetime across 11 contracts and 4 agencies is a credible CPARS record.

What Accel lacks

Gap Severity
Any competitive win, ever (11/11 single-offer) Critical Critical
8(a) sole-source authority (expired 2025-03-13) Critical Critical
Revenue trajectory (−88% from peak) Critical
Near-term contract cliff (FDA expires 2026-09-11) Critical
Capture/BD infrastructure (no capability statement, wrong NAICS, stale website) Significant Significant
Bench depth (no named staff; single principal) Significant Significant
Bonding, facility clearance, quality standards Unknown Unknown — all "Not Provided"

The strategic read

Do not approach Accel as a prime to subcontract under. Their prime pipeline is one descoped contract and one expiring contract. Flow-down work from them is unlikely to materialize at meaningful scale.

Approach them as a complementary teaming partner for competitive small-business set-asides. The logic:

The approach

Lead with capture capability, not with a request for work. The credible pitch is: "You have FACA past performance almost nobody else has. You now have to win competitively. We do that. Let's team on the next ONC/ASTP or FACA-adjacent set-aside — and here is specifically how we'd split it."

Concrete near-term targets to raise: - The FDA export certificate follow-on (75F40121P00502 expires 2026-09-11) — if it recompetes, they are the incumbent with eight years of program knowledge and no capture arm. - HITAC option years 3 and 4 (2027-09-01 → 2029-09-01) — exercisable but not guaranteed, and the descoping trend argues for reinforcement. - FACA support requirements at other departments — their DOT/FTA/FMCSA past performance is dormant and reusable. - Chickasaw prime 140D0425F0766 — runs to 2030-08-30; growing their sub position there is the lowest-friction expansion available.

Due diligence to complete before committing

  1. Confirm which UEI they will contract under, and that SAM registration is current and error-free.
  2. Ask directly about the FDA contract expiring 2026-09-11 — is there a follow-on, a bridge, or nothing? This is the single most informative question you can ask.
  3. Ask what drove the March 2026 HITAC scope reduction, and whether options 3 and 4 are expected to be exercised.
  4. Establish actual staff count and bench. No principals or personnel are named anywhere public.
  5. ~~Verify they have updated their SBA profile NAICS off 238160.~~ Retracted — the claim was false. Their NAICS are correct (primary 541611, nine codes, all professional services), verified via the SBA API.
  6. Confirm there is no adverse history behind the 8(a) exit. The dates read as ordinary graduation, but ask.

11. CONTRADICTIONS, LIMITS, AND OPEN ITEMS

Recorded rather than silently resolved, per collection discipline.

Contradictions

  1. 8(a) status — three sources disagree with SBA. SAM self-attestation, the company website, and every commercial aggregator say "8(a) certified." SBA's registry says exit 2025-03-13. SBA controls; the others are stale or derived from the stale SAM record.

  2. ONC concentration. Working brief said ~100% ONC. Actual: 53.4% ONC / 40.7% FDA across both UEIs. Current-UEI-only view shows 35% ONC / 65% FDA. The 100% figure is not reproducible under any filter I ran.

  3. Lifetime total. $4,956,131 (current UEI) vs $14,693,955 (both UEIs). Both are correct for their scope; only the combined figure describes the company.

  4. Set-aside coding on 75F40122C00164. type_set_aside = "NO SET ASIDE USED" while justification = FAR 6.302-5(a)(2)(i) "authorized by statute," the 8(a) hook. inference FPDS coding error; treated as an 8(a) award.

  5. Contract pricing vs description on 75F40122C00164. Description says "LABOR HOUR AWARD"; type_of_contract_pricing is coded J. Noted; low stakes; not resolved.

  6. GovConInABox totals. Reports "$4.65M across 7 awards" and names the FDA COR as Accel's POC. Both are wrong against primary USAspending data. Aggregator not reliable here.

  7. ~~UEI on the FDA export contract — direction of the correction is ambiguous.~~ RESOLVED and withdrawn. The full modification text names the destination explicitly: "…PREVIOUSLY INCORRECT AND BEING SENT TO THE WRONG BANK. THE UEI NUMBER IS NOW H18BTKJP1VA5." The earlier quote was truncated before that sentence. Payments going to the wrong bank account is the more serious fact and is now carried in §2.

  8. Positive-control UEI string. The working brief gave FTHSR55SMJD4; an open browser tab showed FTH5R55SMJD4. The brief's string is correctFTHSR55SMJD4 returned exactly 1 result (Enhance Business Consulting Inc.), matching the stated expectation.
