ECS Federal, LLC

ECS Federal, LLC Government Services Division, doing business as Electronic Consulting Services Inc., is a full-and-open prime contractor and subcontractor delivering IT modernization, cybersecurity, cloud solutions, artificial intelligence and machine learning, enterprise IT infrastructure, and specialized technical consulting across civilian and defense federal agencies. The vendor operates as a for-profit limited liability company and Government Services Division subsidiary of On Assignment, Inc., headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, competing without set-aside designations across its prime portfolio and holding a substantial portfolio of indefinite delivery vehicles and government-wide acquisition contracts.

ECS Federal's customer concentration reflects a split between civilian and defense agency footprints. The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration leads by award count (296 awards, $6.49 billion combined potential value), driven by multiple BPA calls under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule for marine operations, engineering, and technical support at NOAA facilities nationwide. The Department of Homeland Security's Office of the Chief Information Officer anchors 46 awards valued at $23.16 billion, including a $640 million ADAPTS 2.0 BPA ceiling and multiple delivery orders for enterprise platforms management, cybersecurity, and cloud services. The Department of Justice's FBI Headquarters Division accounts for 67 awards totaling $11.07 billion, reflecting extensive work on IT support, laboratory systems, and CJIS operations. By potential value, GSA Federal Acquisition Service's role in issuing task orders through ECS Federal's multiple parent vehicles dominates the dollar picture at $92.19 billion across 17 awards, primarily reflecting the vendor's position on multiple-award government-wide contracts rather than individual customer relationships. ECS Federal also maintains substantial delivery relationships with the Department of the Navy, Department of the Army, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Defense Health Agency, the National Institutes of Health, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

ECS Federal holds multiple high-value parent vehicles positioning it as a significant player across federal IT procurement. The vendor sits on the OASIS+ Unrestricted multiple-agency IDIQ (announced December 2024, $999,999,999,999 ceiling, through December 2029) under the GSA Federal Acquisition Service; the Alliant 3 GWAC ($999,999,999,999.99 ceiling, through March 2036); the $20 billion NASA SEWP VI GWAC (awarded November 2026, through October 2036); the $8.6 billion Information Technology Supplies and Support Services 2 (ITSSS-2) master BPA with a civilian Headquarters Division agency (through June 2032); the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ ($151 billion ceiling, through December 2035); the $1.25 billion DARPA Technical and Analytical Support Services II (TASS II) indefinite delivery contract (through October 2028); and the $650 million Accelerating VA Innovation and Learning (AVAIL) contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs (through September 2027). Additional vehicles include the Alliant 2 GWAC, the $999 million NIH Strategic Technical ARPA-H Talent Support (STATS) indefinite delivery contract, the $1.1 billion National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases NEAT BPA, the State Department's Evolve IDIQ ($1.1 billion ceiling, through May 2027), the NOAA ProTech Services Solution (PROTECH) indefinite delivery contract, and the $60.7 billion Department of Veterans Affairs Transformation Twenty-One Total Technology Next Generation Two (T4NG2) program. Across these vehicles, ECS Federal places task orders and BPA calls under time-and-materials and firm fixed-price structures supporting IT modernization, cybersecurity, enterprise data services, cloud migration, and specialized technical labor.

Representative prime work grounded in named contract awards demonstrates ECS Federal's technical scope.

A $549.8 billion delivery order issued by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (September 2024, through September 2030, cost-plus-award-fee, under Alliant II) supports Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) data services with 76.4 FTEs and $65.1 million invoiced in FY2025, engaging subcontractors Booz Allen Hamilton, CACI Inc.

A $35.8 million Office of the Chief Information Officer delivery order (September 2025, through March 2027, under GSA MAS, labor-hour pricing) provides enterprise platforms management support with subcontractors Applied Research Associates Inc., 2 Twelve Solutions LLC (SDVOSB and 8(a)), Garrison Technology Group Inc., and Remedybiz Inc. (minority-owned SDB).

ECS Federal's subcontractor footprint reflects both its use of small business teaming partners and its role as a subcontractor to larger defense and IT primes. As a subcontractor, the vendor provides labor services under primes including Halvik LLC (supporting acquisition and program management services across multiple agencies on recurring mod cycles), BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services Inc. (U.S. Marshals Service Information Technology Division support), Peraton Technology Services Inc. (DHS data center and cloud operations support), Sev1Tech LLC (CISA enterprise engineering operations support), Booz Allen Hamilton (threat training and readiness programs), Leidos Inc., General Dynamics Information Technology Inc., International Business Machines Corporation (Navy Enterprise Resource Planning technical support), Accenture Federal Services LLC (CJIS operational services), and Vikusa LLC (customer support services). On prime awards, ECS Federal engages recurring subcontractors including Garrison Technology Group Inc., Procentrix LLC, Discover Technologies LLC, Irealis LLC, Applied Research Associates Inc., Siteimprove Inc., and various set-aside certified small businesses for specialized labor delivery. The vendor's SCI data shows an average sub-hours share of 7 percent across prime contracts, with 222 named subcontractors, indicating a primarily self-performed delivery model with targeted subcontracting for capability augmentation.

Activity has remained steady at 62–72 awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026), with 44 awards recorded in 2026 through early November. The vendor faces a recompete cliff with 62 awards (combined potential value $1.7 billion) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, driving near-term recompete exposure. Service Contract Inventory reporting shows SCI-invoiced revenue of $1.52 billion across FY2022–FY2025 (prime records only), representing a subset of the vendor's total federal services activity: $156.4 million in FY2022 across 4,873 FTEs, $457.8 million in FY2023 across 938 FTEs, $428.7 million in FY2024 across 799 FTEs, and $473.8 million in FY2025 across 821 FTEs. FY2022 reflects a data-aggregation artifact; underlying contractor-level activity in subsequent years indicates a stable FTE footprint of 800–1,200 personnel deployed to SCI-reportable federal service contracts. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates ran around $159.41 per hour, with senior labor pricing through $607.32 per hour and entry-level support roles at $58.87 per hour. The vendor's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 334 unique categories, ranging from help desk roles at $29.57 per hour to software technician roles at $476.85 per hour, with no security-cleared positions offered on the Schedule. ECS Federal competes exclusively on full-and-open vehicles and holds no SBA set-aside certifications across its known portfolio, positioning it as a mainstream federal IT services provider competing against both large primes and mid-market IT integrators across civilian and defense missions.
