Axiom Consultants, Inc.

Axiom Consultants, Inc., an Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business and SBA 8(a) certified firm headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, operates as a prime contractor delivering IT modernization, records management, cybersecurity, systems engineering, and technical support services across civilian and defense agencies—almost entirely through set-aside vehicles and government-wide acquisition contracts. The company is a Subchapter S corporation, minority-owned by Subcontinent Asian American interests, and carries subsidiary entities including Gormat LLC (minority-owned small disadvantaged business) and Propel Solutions LLC and Propel Solutions 2 LLC (both joint-venture women-owned small disadvantaged businesses), though the subsidiaries do not appear as named primes in the federal footprint.

Axiom's customer concentration sits with the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which accounts for 24 awards (44% of prime activity and $3.11 billion in combined potential value) across technical support services, IT security support, records management, and operational data systems work—but that dominance is dwarfed by the vehicle-level picture. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service is the top customer by dollar value with 7 awards totaling $50.07 billion in potential value, nearly all from three OASIS+ IDIQs and the 8(a) STARS III GWAC. The Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command (8 awards, $1.3 million), Naval Network Warfare Command (3 awards, $9.4 million), and Defense Information Systems Agency (2 awards, $5 million) round out the defense footprint; Axiom has no subcontractor presence across this portfolio—all 55 awards are prime contracts or IDVs. The Federal Aviation Administration Headquarters, Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, Federal Trade Commission, Bureau of Industry and Security, Missile Defense Agency, and Economic Development Administration round out the broader customer set across fifteen distinct agencies.

Axiom's vehicle position is anchored to set-aside contracting. The company holds a position on the $50 billion 8(a) STARS III GWAC (awarded February 2022, through July 2029, competitive 8(a) set-aside) with five task orders delivering $21 million in combined potential value—the largest is a $10.77 million time-and-materials delivery order from NOAA for IT support to the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service Center for Satellite Applications and Research (awarded August 2023, exercising Option Period 3, ultimately completing June 2028; FY2024 SCI activity shows 10.6 FTEs and $1.6 million invoiced). Axiom also holds three newly awarded OASIS+ IDIQs: the OASIS+ 8(a) set-aside (awarded August 2025, through August 2030, no specified ceiling); OASIS+ Women-Owned Small Business (awarded June 2025, through June 2030, no specified ceiling); and OASIS+ Total Small Business Set-Aside (awarded April 2025, through April 2030, no specified ceiling). The Missile Defense Agency's Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) full-and-open IDIQ (awarded December 2025, through December 2035, $151 billion ceiling) represents Axiom's sole non-set-aside prime vehicle to date, though only a $500 initial delivery order has been placed. Axiom also holds single-award BPAs with the Naval Sea Systems Command ($990 thousand, through July 2027; three calls placed), the FAA's eFAST program ($1 billion, through September 2029), and the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation ($5 million, through March 2027). Most task-order volume sits on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule—18 task orders with $105 million combined potential value, including NOAA technical support calls, FTC records scheduling services, and Federal Acquisition Service records management work.

Recent capability work demonstrates Axiom's breadth across civilian IT modernization and records management. Named examples include a $3.66 million FY26 BPA call to NOAA for Space and Earth Science Applications Center technical support (awarded March 2026, through March 2027, firm fixed price at Silver Spring, Maryland); a $3.02 million competitive 8(a) delivery order from NOAA for operational NCEP production suite and data services support under STARS III (awarded October 2025, time-and-materials, Riverdale, Maryland, through September 2028); a $2.85 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract from the Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security for grants management system support (awarded September 2024, through November 2025); a $4.5 million 8(a) sole-source delivery order from DISA for records declassification services under STARS III (awarded September 2023, through September 2026); and a $3.37 million 8(a) sole-source purchase order from Naval Network Warfare Command for web risk assessment testing (awarded August 2024, through February 2030, Suffolk, Virginia). Axiom also holds definitive contracts with NOAA for upper air observations support to the National Weather Service (total small business set-aside, $419 thousand, ultimately through August 2029), GWSAS operations and maintenance (8(a) sole source, $2.72 million, through July 2029), and records management (8(a) sole source, $341 thousand, through March 2026). On the defense side, Naval Network Warfare Command awarded a $4.38 million 8(a) sole-source cyber engineering support contract (awarded September 2023, through September 2027) and a $1.65 million SIEM contractor support purchase order (awarded September 2023, through March 2029). Capability posture spans administrative management consulting (19 awards), computer systems design (7 awards), professional training and development (6 awards), and engineering services (4 awards by NAICS count).

Activity has remained stable across the past five years—10 awards in 2022, 9 in 2023, 7 in 2024, 11 in 2025, and 1 in early 2026—but significant recompete exposure arrives in the next twenty-four months: six awards with ultimate completion dates in that window carry $26.3 million in combined potential value, including NOAA's NCEP data services order (September 2028), DDA Aviation BPA calls, and multiple records management and technical support contracts nearing their termination dates. The $50.07 billion in OASIS+ and SHIELD IDIQs represents ceiling values rather than committed spend; only $67.7 million has been obligated across all 55 awards to date (0.13% of combined potential value), reflecting the typical front-loaded posture of IDIQs and BPAs with low initial orders and incremental task-order spending.

SCI-reported service-contract activity shows Axiom invoicing $30.2 million across SCI-reportable prime contracts from FY2022 through FY2024—$11.9 million in FY2022 (62.7 contract-level FTEs), $10.5 million in FY2023 (55.1 FTEs), and $7.8 million in FY2024 (52.8 FTEs)—a declining trajectory reflecting contract completions and the transition to newly awarded vehicles yet to generate significant task-order spend. Actual FTE delivery in FY2024 expanded to 63.0 FTEs when SCI subcontractor records are included, suggesting Axiom engaged 14% of contractor hours from subcontractors (12 named subs total across the SCI-reportable prime contract portfolio). Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable work ran median around $97/hr, with 10th percentile at $58/hr and 90th percentile at $226/hr—a spectrum consistent with technical and administrative support labor. On the GSA Schedule, Axiom lists 74 active labor categories spanning $59.72/hr entry-level data collection through $319.81/hr GIS subject-matter expertise, all non-cleared, bachelor's-degree-required roles reflecting the company's focus on technical, records management, and systems engineering delivery rather than security-sensitive personnel services.

Axiom's competitive posture is predominantly set-aside: 8(a) sole source and competitive 8(a) designations, total small business, and women-owned small business set-asides across the majority of definitive contracts, while vehicle access (STARS III, OASIS+, eFAST, DLA Aviation BPA) anchors the prime footprint. The SHIELD IDIQ is the sole full-and-open vehicle, but with minimal task-order activity to date. The company has not appeared as a subcontractor to larger primes in the source data, indicating a pure-play prime strategy rather than a feeder role. The 8(a) certification is set to expire July 11, 2026, creating a boundary event for renewal strategy and potential shift in set-aside eligibility across FY2027 forward.
