Aver LLC

Aver LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) based in Washington, DC, operates as a prime contractor on multiple government-wide acquisition vehicles and IDIQs, delivering technical program management, cybersecurity, data analytics, biometric services, and mission-critical consulting to Department of Homeland Security components, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and civilian federal agencies. Aver is structured as a limited liability company and holds SBA SDVOSB and VOSB certifications through July 31, 2027. The vendor competes predominantly under small-business set-asides — Total Small Business and SDVOSB designations characterize roughly 86% of the prime footprint — and maintains positions on unrestricted vehicles as well. Aver's federal footprint spans 71 prime awards and 12 subcontractor engagements across 21 customer agencies, with combined potential value of $153.98 billion driven primarily by placements on large-ceiling IDIQs and GWACs rather than obligated dollars, which stand at $292.7 million.

The vendor's customer concentration is split between high-frequency task-order volume and dollar-anchor IDIQs. The Department of Homeland Security Secret Service leads by award count (15 awards, $137.6 million combined potential value), followed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (11 awards), the DHS Office of the Under Secretary for Management (9 awards, $77.3 million), GSA Federal Acquisition Service (8 awards, $75.9 million), and the DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (8 awards, $52.6 million) — together accounting for 61% of awards. By potential value, however, the Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick anchors the portfolio ($50 billion across 3 VECTOR IDIQ awards), followed by the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health ($40 billion), NASA ($40 billion), and DHS Office of the Chief Information Officer ($22 billion). This split signals that Aver's award count is driven by steady task orders across DHS bureaus, while its potential-value concentration reflects recent IDIQ wins on large-ceiling vehicles where obligated work has not yet materialized at scale.

Representative prime work includes a $23.7 million SDVOSB set-aside delivery order from Immigration and Customs Enforcement for adjudication and compliance support under OASIS SB running through September 2029 (FY2025 invoicing $3.7 million across 5.0 FTEs, self-performed), a $62.3 million SDVOSB set-aside delivery order from the U.S. Secret Service for S2 support services under CIO-SP3 SB through June 2028 (FY2025 invoicing $11.5 million across 34.1 FTEs with one subcontractor supplying 38% of contractor hours), a $43 million Total Small Business set-aside delivery order from the DHS Office of the Under Secretary for Management for fingerprint analysis and biometric support services under OASIS SB through March 2027 (FY2025 showing 48.2 FTEs, one sub at 42% of hours), and a $1.996 million Small Business Innovation Research Direct to Phase II award from the Department of the Army for AI-enabled portfolio management through October 2027. Aver also recently won a $15.48 million delivery order from ICE for technical, analytical, and program management support to the Homeland Security Investigations Student Exchange Visitor Program under OASIS SB (Total Small Business set-aside, through September 2029).

Aver holds prime positions on multiple GSA-managed acquisition vehicles. The vendor was awarded SEWP VI, a $20 billion Total Small Business multiple-award GWAC from NASA covering IT communication and audio-visual solutions through October 2036, effective November 1, 2026. Aver sits on the POLARIS GWAC (GSA Federal Acquisition Service), awarded February 1, 2026, as both an SDVOSB-pool awardee (with no specified dollar ceiling) and a Total Small Business-pool awardee (through January 2030), serving civilian and defense agencies for IT and professional services. The vendor holds a position on the OASIS+ Unrestricted IDIQ (multiple award, no set-aside, through December 2029), the OASIS+ Total Small Business IDIQ (through December 2029), and the OASIS+ SDVOSB IDIQ (through September 2029) — all managed by GSA Federal Acquisition Service. Recent OASIS SB activity (One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services - Small Business, a GSA-managed small-business IDIQ) includes 12 task orders with $187.1 million in combined potential value. Aver is also positioned on the CIO-SP3 Small Business GWAC (12 task orders, $140.6 million combined potential value) and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (7 task orders, $27.2 million). The vendor won a $151 billion Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ from the Missile Defense Agency on December 29, 2025 (no set-aside, full and open competition, through December 2035), with an initial $500 firm-fixed-price delivery order. Aver also holds multiple VECTOR IDIQs (Veteran Enterprises Contracting for Transformation and Operational Readiness) from the VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick, each with a $25 billion ceiling, one running through September 2027 and another through August 2028, both SDVOSB set-asides.

Service Contract Inventory reporting captures $141.3 million in prime-contract invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2025, with FY2025 invoicing at $50.4 million across 166 FTEs — growth trajectory from $14.4 million (284 FTEs) in FY2022 reflects both increased volume and improving labor efficiency. Across SCI-reportable service contracts, median government-paid rates run $116.55 per hour, with the 10th percentile at $72.67 per hour and the 90th percentile at $177.55 per hour. On federal services contracts, the vendor has averaged 26% subcontractor-hours share across prime records, with 65 named subcontractors reported. Aver's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 113 unique categories at hourly rates from $27.96 (junior data analyst, high school education) through $234.88 (cloud SME, 12 years' experience), with no security-cleared positions offered. Representative mid-range categories include Identity Management Analyst ($88.73/hr), Cybersecurity Application Programmer III ($127.67/hr), and Project Manager III ($147.90/hr), positioning the vendor for data analytics, application development, project management, and enterprise IT delivery roles.

Aver subcontracts primarily to IBM, holding multiple sub-awards under IBM's positions on the CIO-SP3 and FEMA risk-mapping contracts (National Flood Insurance Program Risk Map Customer Data and Services, and CDS bridge contracts running September 2023 through September 2025). Awards carrying ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months total 11 (combined potential value $190.1 million), representing near-term recompete exposure across the OASIS SB, CIO-SP3 SB, and other legacy task orders issued 2022–2024. Recent activity has remained flat to slightly upward — 8 awards in 2024 stepped to 10 in 2025 and 8 in 2026 — suggesting mature program execution rather than aggressive portfolio scaling, though the SHIELD and SEWP VI wins position Aver for potential rapid order volume if federal agencies exercise those vehicles.
