Ascella Technologies, Inc.

Ascella Technologies, Inc., a minority-owned, Subchapter S corporation based in Herndon, Virginia, delivers federal financial management, accounting support, data analytics, and IT modernization services as a prime contractor on GSA Schedules and government-wide IDIQs, with 97% of recent awards as prime and only 3% as subcontractor. The company holds active seats on OASIS+ Total Small Business (awarded December 19, 2024, with a five-year base period through December 18, 2029) and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, and operates under Subcontinent Asian American minority ownership and small-business designations that anchor most prime work to set-aside vehicles, particularly Total Small Business awards on the SEC's single-award BPA and deliveries across multiple agency MAS vehicles.

Ascella's customer concentration is extreme and potentially fragile. The Securities and Exchange Commission accounts for 69 of 104 total awards (66% of award count) with $395.4 million in combined potential value — roughly 54% of Ascella's stated $73.19 billion combined potential across all awards. This concentration masks a second-tier distortion: the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command appears on only 2 awards but carries $72.55 billion in combined potential value (99% of the company's total stated potential value). That figure reads as a placeholder ceiling on a government-wide vehicle rather than realistic contract capacity; the actual operational footprint centers on SEC work. GSA Federal Acquisition Service (9 awards, $23.4 million), the Treasury Departmental Offices (5 awards, $10.3 million), and the Department of Justice US Marshals Service (3 awards, $6.3 million) comprise the rest of material activity. Ascella has worked with 13 distinct federal agencies in the source window.

The vendor's service delivery splits across financial and accounting services and IT modernization. Representative SEC work includes a $25.1 million Time and Materials delivery order for Enterprise Agile Transformation Services (awarded April 18, 2022, running through April 17, 2032, under the One OIT IDIQ), a $6.2 million firm fixed-price delivery order from HUD's Office of the Chief Information Officer for Financial Data Mart and Consolidated Financial Statement System operations and maintenance (September 30, 2024, through September 29, 2029), a $4.8 million delivery order from Treasury's Executive Office for Asset Forfeiture for financial and data analysis support (July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030), and recurring SEC BPA calls for budget and financial reporting technical support services, quantitative analysis, accounting support, and financial transactions analysis — with individual BPA calls ranging from $213 thousand to $923 thousand. A $1.83 million delivery order from the U.S. Marshals Service covers Financial Data Allocation Platform operations and maintenance (July 1, 2023, through December 30, 2028). The vendor also holds a $5 million single-award BPA with the SEC established August 26, 2022, designated Total Small Business set-aside, running through August 25, 2027; four BPA calls against this agreement have invoiced over $3.26 million combined since award.

Ascella's primary vehicle exposure sits on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (62 task orders, $421.6 million combined potential value), where most SEC and Treasury work flows. The vendor also executes work under the Professional Services Schedule (21 task orders, $10 million), the 8a Streamlined Technology Acquisition Resources for Services (8a STARS) GWAC (18 task orders, $40.4 million), the Legacy Financial and Business Solutions vehicle (15 task orders, $24 million), and Information Technology Schedule 70 (9 task orders, $82.2 million). The OASIS+ Small Business IDIQ, awarded in December 2024, establishes a new vehicle for task-order placement across seven functional domains (Management and Advisory, Technical and Engineering, Research and Development, Intelligence Services, Environmental Services, Facilities, and Logistics); notice to proceed reached contractors in July 2024, and the vehicle carries a five-year base and one five-year option through December 2029.

SCI-reported invoicing (federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold) tracked $23.4 million in FY2022, $25.3 million in FY2023, and $20.6 million in FY2024 across roughly 81, 84, and 71 FTEs respectively, showing mild decline in FY2024 workforce and invoicing. Government-paid median hourly rates on federal services contracts ran around $137.56/hr, with the 10th percentile at $100.52/hr and the 90th percentile at $219.03/hr, reflecting a mix of accounting, financial analyst, and IT engineering labor. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Ascella self-performs approximately 94% of contractor hours, with subcontractors handling roughly 6% of total hours; the source names 10 subcontractors across SCI records, a low sub-engagement posture. The GSA labor portfolio spans 143 active categories priced from $38.50/hr (General Clerk I, high school education) through $266.80/hr (Subject Matter Expert III, master's degree, fifteen years' experience), with no security-cleared positions offered.

Award activity has flattened in recent years: 7 awards in 2022, 6 in 2023, 8 in 2024, 3 in 2025, and 1 in 2026 year-to-date. Within the next twenty-four months, 3 awards with combined potential value of $82.9 million face ultimate completion dates and recompete exposure. The source identifies Ascella-Mil JV LLC, a minority-owned Subchapter S joint venture, as a subsidiary. In subcontractor roles, Ascella has delivered HUD CENTRAL ACCOUNTING AND PROGRAM SYSTEM (HUDCAPS) support services as a sub to CACI NSS, LLC (December 20, 2023, and December 19, 2024), and TIAS FOIA support services as a sub to Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (December 12, 2023).
