Sikich CPA LLC

Sikich CPA LLC, a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, delivers financial statement audits, compliance reviews, incurred cost audits, FISMA assessments, forensic accounting, and expert witness services to federal agencies primarily as a prime contractor across 122 distinct customer agencies on a full-and-open competitive basis, with no SBA set-asides or socioeconomic designations.

Sikich operates as a prime on 96% of its federal awards (971 of 1,007 total awards tracked in the source) and competes predominantly in open federal contracting rather than under set-aside vehicles. The firm's capability footprint centers on government audit and financial management services: financial statement audits for inspector general offices (National Science Foundation OIG, Department of Homeland Security OIG, NASA OIG), incurred cost audits of research institutions and federal awardees, compliance reviews addressing FISMA and Payment Integrity Information Act requirements, forensic accounting and expert witness support for Department of Justice litigation, and internal controls and A-123 assessment work. Representative prime contracts include a $70.3 million delivery order from the Department of Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General for financial statement audit services (May 2026, GSA MAS, through February 2031); a $54.8 million delivery order from the Department of Defense Office of the Inspector General for USTRANSCOM Transportation Working Capital Fund financial statement audits for fiscal years 2026–2030 (January 2026, labor-hours pricing, with subs Econometrica Inc., RM Advisory Services LLC, and McConnell & Jones LLP); and a $25.3 million delivery order from the General Services Administration for HUD Consolidated, Ginnie Mae, and FHA financial statement audit support services (August 2024, through September 2028, administrative transfer under Executive Order 14240).

Sikich holds a broad portfolio of indefinite delivery vehicles. The firm sits on the OASIS+ Unrestricted Multiple Agency Contract (GSA Federal Acquisition Service, $999,999,999,999 ceiling, through December 2029) as a multiple-award contractor. Single-award BPAs include a $60 million Department of Energy Chief Financial Officer financial management and audit support services vehicle (March 2026, through March 2031) and a $54.8 million Department of Labor Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management financial services BPA (July 2025, through January 2030). Sikich also holds a $150 million Office of Finance Accounting and Financial Management Services BPA (May 2025, through May 2030) and a $5 million National Science Foundation Office of the Inspector General audit services BPA (July 2024, through July 2029). The firm maintains multiple-award blanket purchase agreements with NASA (fiscal years 2026–2029 financial statement audits, no ceiling specified), the National Archives and Records Administration ($3.4 million through February 2029 for audit and inspection services), and the National Endowment for the Arts ($500 thousand through January 2030 for independent audits).

Customer concentration by award count centers on inspector general offices and research oversight: the National Science Foundation Office of the Inspector General leads with 82 awards ($26 million combined potential value), followed by the National Science Foundation itself (79 awards, $436 thousand), the Environmental Protection Agency (58 awards), the Department of State (48 awards), and the Corporation for National and Community Service (37 awards, $2.9 million). By dollar value, the top customers are the Department of Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General (12 awards, $73 million), the Securities and Exchange Commission (10 awards, $27.5 million), the National Science Foundation Office of the Inspector General (82 awards, $26 million), the Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration (25 awards, $20.8 million), and the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Justice Management Division (26 awards, $14.4 million). The two rankings diverge materially: NSF-OIG dominates award frequency but ranks third by dollars, while DHS OIG and SEC rank below the top five by award count but anchor most of the dollar value, indicating a mix of high-frequency smaller audits and fewer large agency-level contracts.

The firm's parent vehicle footprint is dominated by the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, which hosts 187 task orders worth $1.03 billion in combined potential value, and a legacy vehicle called Financial and Business Solutions that carries 287 task orders ($222 million). Other vehicles include The Professional Services Schedule (54 task orders, $4.2 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract SAQMPD04D0035 (32 task orders, $15.6 million), and Indefinite Delivery Contract DJJ07C1484 (19 task orders, $13.7 million). These vehicles reflect Sikich's position as a widely available federal audit and accounting services provider across civilian agencies.

Activity has grown materially year over year: 19 awards in 2023, 37 in 2024, 30 in 2025, and 33 in 2026 (with one award in 2027). The recompete cliff shows 36 awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, with combined potential value of $71.6 million, including the DHS OIG financial statement audit, several large NSF-OIG institutional audits, and numerous NARA compliance and audit services contracts.

SCI-reported invoicing of federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $62.4 million across fiscal years 2022–2025, growing from $11.1 million in FY2022 to $22 million in FY2025. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Sikich deployed roughly 47 FTEs in FY2022, 51 FTEs in FY2023, 65 FTEs in FY2024, and 71 FTEs in FY2025, indicating scale-up in federal service delivery. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts ran from $98/hr at the 10th percentile (entry-level audit support) to a median of $132/hr (mid-career auditors and internal controls specialists) to $375/hr at the 90th percentile (senior consulting and specialized roles such as actuarial work). Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for an average of 7% of contractor hours, with 77 named subcontractors identified, indicating Sikich builds most of its delivery internally rather than leaning heavily on subs. The GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 46 active categories, ranging from Intern ($70.17/hr) through Senior Consultant ($299.47/hr) and Actuary ($448.87/hr), with no security-clearance requirements across the portfolio.

Sikich subcontracts to larger prime contractors in a secondary role on specialized financial management and audit tasks. Named primes include The Mil Corporation (recurring A-123 internal controls follow-on support, data integrity and GTAS reporting, financial audit support, and IT audit ISSO guidance work), CGI Federal Inc. (Veterans Affairs financial management system support and USDA financial management services), Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (Department of State operational finance management support and DHS financial statement audit work), KPMG LLP (DHS FY2025 integrated financial statement audit), Guidehouse Inc. (FBI Finance and Facilities Division administrative and professional services), and Accenture Federal Services LLC (USAID enterprise information assurance work). These sub relationships reflect Sikich's role as a feeder to large systems integrators on financial management modernization and audit programs, particularly at the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of State, and USAID.

Sikich's footprint by NAICS is heavily concentrated in 541211 (Offices of Certified Public Accountants), which accounts for 500 of 1,007 awards, followed by 541990 (All Other Legal Services, 78 awards), 541219 (Other Accounting Services, 51 awards), 541519 (Other Computer Related Services, 17 awards), and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services, 15 awards). By PSC code, 604 awards fall under Support-Management: Auditing, 80 under Support-Professional: Expert Witness, 77 under Support-Management: Accounting, 54 under Support-Management: Financial, and 48 under Support-Professional: Other. This concentration reflects Sikich's core positioning as a federal government audit and financial management provider, with secondary forensic accounting and litigation support capability.
