Brillient Corporation

Brillient Corporation, doing business as Brillient Corp, is a minority-owned, Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Reston, Virginia, that delivers professional and technical services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open and set-aside vehicles. The vendor competes across the federal government without a dominant set-aside posture, though recent awards show recurring Competitive 8(a) designations on select Food and Drug Administration contracts. Brillient operates across 35 distinct customer agencies with a $12.94 billion combined potential-value award footprint, though the portfolio is heavily concentrated in two defense IDIQs (an $11 billion US Coast Guard vehicle and a $151 billion Missile Defense Agency SHIELD contract) and civilian professional-services work at the FDA, IRS, and Small Business Administration.

Brillient's core capability is administrative, program management, and technical staffing to civilian federal agencies—particularly FDA, where 304 awards (85% of the top-customer count) anchor the vendor's recent activity. Work spans subject matter expert support across the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, and Center for Devices and Radiological Health; administrative support and program management across multiple centers; technical writing and communications; database and systems analysis; project management; and litigation support services, particularly for Freedom of Information Act requests. Representative examples include an $8.32 million FDA litigation-support BPA call (awarded April 2022, labor-hours priced), a $5.03 million Competitive 8(a) FDA contract for Office of Special Emphasis staffing (awarded June 2023, de-obligated August 2024), and a $9.2 million Farm Service Agency call for development operations maintenance and digital records management (awarded August 2023, completed August 2025). Recent large awards outside FDA include a $7.5 million IRS Optical Character Recognition pilot (awarded July 2021, FFP, due July 2026), a $7.5 million IRS Submission Processing Modernization pilot (awarded August 2022, FFP, due August 2027), and a $300.6 million USCIS National Benefits Center Records Operation Center contract for pre-processing and case preparation (awarded September 2021 as total small-business set-aside, time-and-materials, due August 2027). Brillient also holds a $55.27 million IRS BPA for unmanned aircraft systems engineering support through October 2026 and a $70 million IRS BPA for robotic process automation engineering services through October 2026.

Brillient's vehicle position centers on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule—the vendor holds 332 task orders valued at $762 million under the base MAS vehicle and 311 task orders ($276.9 million) under the Professional Services Schedule. Recent major IDIQs include a December 2025 award on the Missile Defense Agency's $151 billion SHIELD multiple-award contract (full-and-open, ultimate completion December 2035, with an initial $500 delivery order) and a December 2024 position on GSA's OASIS+ Unrestricted $999.9 billion multiple-award IDIQ (ultimate completion December 2029). The vendor also holds historical positions on an SBA-managed indefinite delivery contract (SBAHQ11D0003) with 43 task orders valued at $20 million.

Activity contracted sharply between 2023 and 2024—52 awards in 2021, 67 in 2022, 54 in 2023, dropping to 1 in 2024 and 3 in 2025—reflecting the concentration of dollars in a small number of large defense IDIQs rather than a consistent pace of smaller FDA calls. Nine awards with combined potential value of $334.6 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure primarily in FDA and IRS service-contract work. The vendor operates almost entirely as a prime (449 of 450 awards); it subcontracts minimally and appears once as a named sub to Akima Secure Technologies on an FDA FOIA support task as of September 2025.

Across the GSA Schedule labor portfolio, Brillient offers 98 active categories ranging from General Clerk I at $34.97 per hour (high school, no clearance) through Subject Matter Expert roles at $365.61 per hour (master's degree, 8 years' experience). Representative mid-range categories include IT Business Analyst I ($67/hr, associates, 2 years), Health IT Web Developer ($86.14/hr, bachelor's, 5 years), Business Functions Consultant ($145.37/hr, bachelor's, 4 years), and Senior Consulting Manager ($197.21/hr, bachelor's, 8 years). No cleared positions are offered through the GSA Schedule.

Service Contract Inventory data—covering federal services contracts above the $150,000 threshold—shows SCI-reported prime invoicing of $210.2 million across FY2022–FY2024 ($47.5 million in FY2022, $75.7 million in FY2023, $87 million in FY2024), with workforce delivery of 1,037 FTEs in FY2022, declining to 242 in FY2023, then ramping to 1,132 FTEs in FY2024. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $64.69 per hour through a median of $107.56 per hour to a 90th percentile of $268.89 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 7 percent of total contractor hours on average; Brillient named 46 distinct subcontractors across its SCI portfolio. The vendor's NAICS concentration is Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (334 awards), followed by Temporary Help Services (45 awards) and Office Administrative Services (15 awards). Its primary PSC code is Support-Professional: Other (364 awards), with secondary activity in Support-Professional: Program Management/Support (15 awards) and Support-Administrative: Electronic Records Management Services (12 awards).
