Censeo Consulting Group, Inc.

Censeo Consulting Group, Inc., a Washington, D.C.-based management and technology consulting firm, operates as a prime contractor delivering strategic planning, program evaluation, business process improvement, and IT modernization services across civilian federal agencies on full-and-open competition, with an emerging small business set-aside footprint on select vehicles.

Censeo's customer concentration is severe. The top five customers by potential value account for $2.96 billion of the $7.91 billion combined potential value across 420 awards—a 37% concentration anchored by GSA Federal Acquisition Service ($2.6 billion across 34 awards) and the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health ($222.2 million across 6 awards). By award count, the Federal Communications Commission dominates with 67 task orders worth $54.9 million, followed by GSA with 34 awards. This split reveals two distinct customer profiles: GSA drives the dollar value through large-ceiling IDVs and BPAs, while FCC places many smaller task orders. Censeo serves 91 distinct federal agencies, but the top five account for only 38% of awards, indicating a broad-based customer base with shallow per-agency penetration outside the core customers.

Censeo's vehicle portfolio anchors to the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, which houses 175 task orders worth $1.02 billion in combined potential value. Beyond MAS, Censeo holds significant IDVs and BPAs: a $4 billion Seaport Next Generation IDC with Naval Sea Systems Command (23 task orders, $3.8 million), a $20 million EPA mission-support BPA (multiple task orders including $3.5 million program evaluation and $2.25 million Smart Sectors program work), a $20 million FCC advisory and consultation BPA (52 task orders, $20.8 million), a $100 million CFPB management and strategy consulting BPA (9 awards, $122.1 million potential value including a $9.3 million RegTech Tier 1 contract and $6.3 million Chief Risk Officer engagement), and a recently awarded $75 million GSA OCIO project management BPA (December 2, 2024). Most notably, Censeo was awarded a placement on the OASIS+ Total Small Business Set-Aside IDIQ (ceiling: multi-billion, awarded December 19, 2024) and a $75 million GSA continuous process improvement BPA. A $300 million IRS non-IT consulting BPA was cancelled effective March 27, 2025. The firm also holds the Human Capital and Training Solutions–Small Business (HCaTS SB) $75 million vehicle through September 2026, demonstrated by a $648,235 manpower forecasting delivery order with the Federal Railroad Administration.

Activity has moderated recently. Award velocity ran 26 in 2022, 21 in 2023, 27 in 2024, and 17 in 2025; only 4 awards appear in the source for 2026 year-to-date (through July 2026). Combined potential value across all awards totals $7.91 billion, but actual obligations stand at $237.2 million (3% obligation rate), indicating the portfolio consists largely of ceiling-capped vehicles with variable task-order demand. Within the next twenty-four months, 12 awards with combined potential value of $46.9 million reach ultimate completion, creating recompete risk on established customer relationships, particularly with GSA and FCC.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue shows $48.3 million in federal service contract labor across FY2022–FY2024, with FY2024 at $19 million across 59.5 FTEs. Year-over-year FTE growth from 32.2 (FY2022) to 54.9 (FY2024) reflects expansion in delivery capacity; FY2024 revenues per FTE averaged approximately $320,000. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ran a median of $168.29 per hour, with a 10th percentile floor of $128.02 and a 90th percentile ceiling of $292.87, positioning Censeo in the mid-market for management consulting labor. Across SCI prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for an average 22% of contractor hours, with 71 named subcontractors reported; subcontractor engagement grew in FY2024 (10 SCI sub records) after minimal activity in FY2023. Representative named subcontractors include Industrial Economics Inc. (environmental and economic consulting support on EPA programs) and Bluepath Labs LLC (37% of hours on CFPB RegTech Tier 1 work, an 8(a) veteran-owned small business).

Censeo's small business set-aside posture is bifurcated. Roughly 30% of recent awards carry Total Small Business set-aside designations, predominantly on NIH BPSS III ($508,105 order), GSA OCIO PMO support ($22.3 million), EPA Smart Sectors ($2.25 million), and select FCC and Bureau of Diplomatic Security task orders (value engineering studies, mostly under $200,000). The OASIS+SB placement (December 2024) and HCaTS SB vehicle (2021–2026) anchor the set-aside footprint going forward. However, 70% of Censeo's recent awards remain full-and-open, including the largest-ceiling vehicles (GSA MAS, FCC BPA, CFPB BPA, EPA $54 million technical support IDC). The firm shows no 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB designations in the source; its small business classification rests on size alone. Corporate structure indicates for-profit organization status, no stated minority or disadvantaged-business ownership, and no veteran designation.

Capability framing across the award portfolio centers on management consulting, program evaluation, and IT advisory services. Representative work includes FCC cybersecurity third-party assessments ($333,618 CORES-FRN incident evaluation; $415,280 cybersecurity expert services), FCC broadband data collection program support (Task 9, $602,545; Task 10, $506,133), FCC Affordable Connectivity Program management ($1.45 million ACP Support Tasks 1-4), EPA lean management and continuous improvement ($1.6 million), EPA program evaluation and evidence building ($703,991), Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regulatory technology operations ($9.3 million RegTech Tier 1), and GSA E-Government Travel Service (ETSNext/GO.GOV) transition support ($10.1 million customer engagement BPA call). GSA's Office of Governmentwide Policy awarded a $19.17 million PPOMSS delivery order (June 1, 2024 through November 30, 2028, labor-hours basis), with FY2024 invoicing of $994,000 across 5.4 FTEs and 11,275 contractor hours at $88.17 per hour blended rate, employing Tetra TECH EGT and Koepsell Career Counseling as subcontractors (54% sub-hours share in FY2024).

Censeo operates almost entirely as a prime contractor (418 of 420 awards, 100% of prime footprint). Only two sub-award records appear in the source: a July 2026 IT labor resources role under Guidehouse Inc. and a July 2024 program management support subcontract under Guidehouse. This indicates Censeo is predominantly engaged in prime delivery and rarely marketed as a feeder subcontractor to larger integrators. The 22% average sub-hours share across SCI-reportable prime contracts signals active use of specialized subcontractors for component delivery rather than self-contained vertical delivery. GSA Schedule labor offerings span nine categories from Business Analyst I at $136.33 per hour to Managing Director I at $463.48 per hour, with bachelor's and master's degree requirements but no security clearances listed.

The firm was established in 2003 and maintains headquarters at 1776 I Street NW, Suite 850, Washington, D.C. 20006. Recent activity and vehicle acquisitions (OASIS+SB December 2024, GSA OCIO PMO BPA December 2024) signal continued pursuit of high-ceiling civilian agency vehicles, while the collapse of the IRS $300 million BPA (March 2025) represents a material loss of potential recompete value. The moderate award velocity and 3% obligation rate across a $7.9 billion ceiling portfolio suggest Censeo functions as an established option on large civilian-agency vehicles rather than an aggressive pursuer of new logos, with revenue concentration on a handful of active customer relationships (FCC, GSA, EPA, CFPB, NIH).
