About the company
Costquest Associates LLC, a subsidiary of CQA Holdings Inc. based in Cincinnati, Ohio, operates as a prime contractor providing broadband geospatial data infrastructure, mapping, and database development services to federal telecommunications agencies under full-and-open competition. The vendor holds no SBA set-asides and competes across the entire federal marketplace as a for-profit limited liability company.
Costquest's federal customer base is highly concentrated in two agencies. The Federal Communications Commission accounts for four awards with $88.9 million in combined potential value, while the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration holds one award for $47.8 million, together representing 96% of the vendor's combined potential value across all awards. The FCC concentration reflects Costquest's core capability in broadband serviceable location fabric development and maintenance — a mission-critical dataset supporting federal broadband policy and deployment tracking.
Costquest's three largest named contracts define its operating profile. The vendor was awarded a $40.99 million definitive contract by the FCC on September 4, 2026, for development, update, and maintenance of the Broadband Serviceable Location Fabric through February 24, 2032, comprising a 12-month base period plus four optional 1-year periods. The work involves creation and biannual updates to a geospatial dataset of all Broadband Serviceable Locations across the United States, territories, and tribal lands, with performance on a hybrid-remote and onsite basis at FCC headquarters in Washington, DC. An earlier FCC award, issued November 10, 2021, for $44.9 million, established the initial Broadband Location Serviceable Fabric database with ultimate completion on February 24, 2027 — now within the recompete cliff. The NTIA contract, awarded February 14, 2023, provided $47.75 million for broadband fabric mapping data collection and management support to the BroadbandUSA program, with performance in Cincinnati and ultimate completion on August 13, 2028.
Two awards (combined potential value $92.7 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore present significant recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoiced revenue shows $3.9 million in FY2023 against the NTIA contract; no labor hours were captured in subsequent fiscal years in the SCI dataset, consistent with Costquest's fixed-price delivery model where labor is embedded in contract ceiling rather than invoiced separately. The vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor with zero subcontract engagement on named awards. Category concentration skews toward geospatial surveying and mapping services (three awards) and computer systems design services (two awards), reflecting the broadband infrastructure and database-management focus underlying Costquest's federal footprint.
