Absg Consulting Inc.

Absg Consulting Inc., doing business as Abs Consulting, a subsidiary of Abs Group of Companies Incorporated, is a for-profit federal contractor operating as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) in technical, analytical, and engineering support services across transportation safety, maritime security, infrastructure protection, and risk analysis. The vendor competes full-and-open—no set-aside designations appear across the recent award portfolio—and holds no SBA certifications. Headquarters are in Spring, Texas.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on specialized technical services with recurring exposure across transportation, maritime, and infrastructure domains. Representative prime work includes a $161.3 million portfolio of 161 Coast Guard awards spanning maritime security risk analysis, Maritime Security Risk Analysis Model (MSRAM) database development, cybersecurity threat assessment, and asset protection; a $16 million Federal Railroad Administration portfolio of 14 awards for independent technical reviews of Positive Train Control Safety Plans and railroad compliance assessments; and a $15.5 million Federal Transit Administration portfolio of 5 awards for Transportation Safety Oversight stakeholder engagement, TSO-20 support, and technical assistance services. Recent named contract work includes a $13.2 million single-award Federal Transit Administration BPA (through September 2028) for transportation safety oversight services; a $11.6 million Federal Highway Administration contract (terminated for convenience, January 2025) for Environmental Review Implementation Technical Assistance Centers; a $4.5 million Federal Railroad Administration single-award BPA (through September 2026) for independent safety assessments of Positive Train Control implementations; a $3.6 million Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency delivery order for chemical security and subject matter expertise support; and a $1.4 million Bureau of Overseas Building Operations delivery order for rapid visual screenings of overseas diplomatic facilities. The vendor also holds a newly awarded $151 billion Missile Defense Agency SHIELD (Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense) multiple-award IDIQ contract (December 2025 through December 2035) for research, development, prototyping, systems engineering, and production across multi-domain defense systems. GSA Schedule labor rates span $29.08/hr to $219.86/hr across 48 categories, with representative positions including Administrative Specialist-1 ($29.08/hr), Engineer I ($66.50/hr), Principal Engineer ($122.14/hr), and Principal ($219.86/hr); no security-cleared roles are offered on the Schedule.

Customer concentration is pronounced and anchored by maritime and transportation safety agencies. The Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard dominates both metrics—161 awards and $161.3 million combined potential value—representing 41% of award count and 37% of total potential value. The top five customers by potential value (Coast Guard, GSA Federal Acquisition Service, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Federal Railroad Administration, Federal Transit Administration) account for 73% of combined potential value across $440.1 million. The split between these rankings is material: GSA's $91.7 million stems from six awards, signaling larger individual vehicle values; by contrast, Coast Guard's dominance reflects both volume (161 awards) and dollars ($161.3 million). Interior Department's Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (26 awards, $10.2 million) rounds out the major customer set.

The vendor's primary vehicle footprint is anchored in two indefinite delivery vehicles: the Mission Oriented Business Integrated Services (MOBIS) GWAC, under which 247 task orders total $176.7 million combined potential value, and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, supporting 101 task orders worth $162.4 million. These two vehicles account for the majority of the vendor's federal ordering activity. The Professional Services Schedule generates 18 task orders valued at $14.4 million. Notably, the vendor also holds single-award BPAs with the Federal Transit Administration ($13.2 million) and Federal Railroad Administration ($4.5 million), and a $1 million single-award BPA with the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board for blast modeling services, all under GSA MAS authority.

Activity has remained modest but steady. Awards per year from 2022 through 2025 ranged from 10 to 15 annually; 2026 shows only 3 awards to date (as of mid-July). The recompete cliff is minimal—only 7 awards totaling $5.6 million reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting low recompete risk for the vendor. SCI-reported invoicing across federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $27.7 million over FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $9.3 million, FY2023: $10.7 million, FY2024: $7.7 million), with FTE trajectory declining from 35.0 FTEs in FY2022 to 30.5 FTEs in FY2024. Government-paid rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ran a median of $154.86/hr, with a 10th percentile of $113.19/hr and 90th percentile of $354.38/hr. The vendor self-performed all SCI-reportable hours with zero average subcontractor engagement on prime contracts and no named subcontractors reported in the SCI dataset.

As a subcontractor, Absg Consulting serves three named primes: Booz Allen Hamilton (two sub awards for engineering services and supply chain risk assessment support), Deloitte Consulting LLP (two sub awards for program support and CISA mission support), and Amentum Spaceport LLC (base operations and support services sub award). The vendor also subcontracts to its own parent, American Bureau of Shipping, as a named sub on alternate renewable energy technology research grant work. This sub footprint (8 sub awards, 2% of total) indicates the vendor operates predominantly as a prime and brings minimal subcontractor delegation to team arrangements.

Absg Consulting is wholly owned by Abs Group of Companies Incorporated, the non-profit American Bureau of Shipping's for-profit subsidiary holding company. A second named subsidiary, RMC 2021 LLC, appears in the corporate structure. The American Bureau of Shipping parent brings extensive maritime classification, engineering, and technical expertise—expertise that is directly reflected in Absg Consulting's federal award portfolio, particularly the Coast Guard and transportation safety relationships.
