Federal & State Contract Services

A credentialed small business positioned to perform on federal and state health and education contracts — bringing published research, doctoral-level expertise, and twenty years of direct community practice to every scope of work we accept.

Wealness is the right contracting partner if...

You are a contracting officer, program manager, or prime contractor working in federal or state health and education, and you need a small business partner who can actually perform. Not a firm that looks good on paper and delegates to generalists. A partner with subject matter expertise in the populations your contract targets, published research in the program areas you are funding, and the community trust to execute where it matters most.

— Your agency or prime contract requires a small business with demonstrated health equity expertise and published research credentials
— You are building a teaming arrangement and need a subcontractor with deep community practice in minority, rural, or underserved populations
— Your contract scope includes health disparities assessment, program evaluation, technical assistance, or workforce development
— You need a partner who understands both the clinical landscape and the community factors that determine whether a program succeeds or fails in the field
— You are pursuing a set-aside opportunity and need a credentialed small business with the qualifications to strengthen your bid

What Wealness brings to the contract table.

Contracting officers evaluate hundreds of vendors. What separates Wealness is not a polished proposal — it is a documented record of working inside the communities federal and state health contracts are designed to serve. Dr. Hazelton-Smalls does not consult about underserved populations. She has spent almost twenty years working in them.

That distinction matters when your contract requires authentic community engagement, culturally competent program delivery, and technical writing grounded in peer-reviewed evidence — not assumptions. Wealness brings all three, backed by a Doctorate in Health Administration from MUSC, a Master of Public Health, and three nationally indexed peer-reviewed publications in health equity, precision medicine, and AI in education.

  •  Published research aligned to HHS, CDC, HRSA, and Department of Education contract priority areas
  • Documented community practice in minority, rural, and at-risk populations across South Carolina
  • Doctoral-level technical writing and program evaluation capability
  • Available immediately for teaming conversations, capability briefings, and proposal support
  • Registered small business — capabilities statement and NAICS codes available upon request

Core contract competencies.

Wealness performs across five core competency areas, each grounded in academic training, peer-reviewed research, and field-tested community practice. These are not theoretical capabilities.

They are the categories in which Dr. Hazelton-Smalls has worked, published, and delivered results in real communities with real populations.

  • Community health needs assessment, identifying gaps, barriers, and assets in underserved populations using both quantitative data and qualitative community input
  • Health disparities research and program evaluation, assessing the effectiveness of health equity initiatives against defined population outcomes
  • Technical assistance and capacity building, strengthening the organizational infrastructure of grantees, sub recipients, and community-based organizations
  • Workforce development and professional training, building the knowledge and competency of healthcare, education, and government workforces serving high-need populations
  • Stakeholder engagement and community mobilization, developing and executing engagement strategies that build trust, increase participation, and sustain program impact in communities that have historically disengaged from government-funded initiatives

How we engage on contracts.

Wealness pursues contract opportunities as both a prime contractor and a subcontractor, and we approach both with the same level of rigor. For prime opportunities, we respond with a capabilities-aligned proposal, documented past performance, and a clearly defined scope of delivery. For teaming arrangements, we bring our subject matter expertise, community access, and technical writing capability to strengthen the prime’s bid and deliver on the scope assigned. In every case, Dr. Hazelton-Smalls leads the work personally,  ensuring that the expertise presented in the proposal is the expertise that shows up in the field.
