About the company
Creative Business Solutions, Inc., doing business as Cbs-Flow, is an 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) based in Bowie, Maryland, operating as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) across federal civilian and defense agencies. The vendor competes predominantly under 8(a) set-asides and holds two anchor vehicle positions: a $1 billion single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement under the Electronic FAA Accelerated and Simplified Tasks (eFAST) program and a seat on the $50 billion 8(a) STARS III Government-Wide Acquisition Contract.
Cbs-Flow's capability footprint spans IT modernization, program management, engineering consulting, logistics support, and professional services. Recent representative work includes a $5.51 million labor-hours delivery order from the National Science Foundation for the ESPCOR Program Monitoring System under 8(a) sole source, a $3.56 million firm fixed-price delivery order from the Air National Guard for Project Data System and Civil Engineering Master Cooperative Agreement System development and modernization through June 2026, and multiple DOD Locks Program technical support and prototype delivery orders totaling over $3 million across Naval Facilities Engineering Command and Naval Supply Systems Command. A $11.66 million VA bridge contract under SDVOSB sole source (May 2025–March 2027) reflects recent expansion into defense logistics infrastructure, while an $4.5 million NAVFAC single-award IDIQ for DOD Locks Program support anchors recurring defense engineering work.
Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward defense and science-agency customers. The top five customers by award count—Air National Guard (15 awards, $17 million), Army Training and Doctrine Command (13 awards, $17.4 million), Naval Facilities Engineering Command (11 awards, $6.9 million), Treasury Bureau of the Fiscal Service (9 awards, $1.5 million), and HHS Food and Drug Administration (7 awards, $5.5 million)—represent 38% of recent awards. By potential value, however, the ranking inverts sharply: GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors 99% of combined potential value at $50.11 billion (five awards, almost entirely the eFAST BPA ceiling), followed by VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick at $25.11 billion (six awards, driven by the bridge contract), Navy Naval Sea Systems Command at $10 billion (four awards), and Army Medical Command at $17.6 million. This divergence signals that while Cbs-Flow executes frequent small task orders across tactical military and civilian customers, its structural revenue capacity flows through two mega-vehicles held by GSA and VA.
Service Contract Inventory data covering FY2022–FY2025 shows a slight decline in SCI-reportable federal services invoicing from $11.4 million in FY2022 to $10.5 million in FY2025, with average FTE delivery hovering around 27–29 FTEs in FY2022–2024 and dropping to 22.3 FTEs in FY2025. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts run a median of $129.24 per hour, with junior roles at the 10th percentile at $48.78/hr and senior labor (Subject Matter Experts, Contract Specialists) at the 90th percentile reaching $255.43/hr. GSA Schedule labor categories span 47 unique roles from Production Control SME at $54.72/hr through Subject Matter Expert III at $181.84/hr, with education requirements clustering at the bachelor's level and security clearances present across a third of posted positions.
Teaming posture indicates a subcontractor-heavy delivery model. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for an average of 39% of contractor hours, with 45 named subcontractors engaged in recent years. The vendor subcontracts to Deloitte & Touche LLP on at least one Payment Oversight Program award captured in the source. Within the next twenty-four months, three awards with combined potential value of $13.3 million face ultimate completion dates and thus recompete exposure, primarily the NAVFAC DOD Locks Program IDIQ and smaller tactical delivery orders with Army, Navy, and Air Force customers. The vendor's SBA 8(a) certification expired July 19, 2023, according to the source data, which may constrain pursuit of new 8(a) sole-source work; however, the source shows ongoing 8(a) competitive and full-and-open awards, suggesting continued participation on vehicles not restricted to current 8(a) status.
