Elevation, LTD.

Elevation, LTD., doing business as Elevacion, is a Washington, D.C.-based minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business that delivers integrated marketing, communications, public relations, branding, advertising, and creative services to federal agencies entirely as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), operating predominantly through full-and-open federal supply schedule and blanket purchase agreement vehicles without reliance on set-aside procurement.

Elevacion's customer base is heavily concentrated within the Department of Homeland Security. DHS Customs and Border Protection accounts for 94 awards and $203.1 million in combined potential value — representing 78% of award count and 34% of total portfolio value across 121 prime awards. The remaining portfolio splits between the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (6 awards, $252.3 million potential value, anchored by an $18 million time-and-materials delivery order through July 2029 for health insurance marketplace public education and outreach targeting Spanish-reliant uninsured populations via Cuidadodesalud.gov and Healthcare.gov), DHS Chief Procurement Officer (7 awards, $33.6 million), DHS Immediate Office of the Secretary (5 awards, $32.6 million), and the Export-Import Bank of the United States. The divergence between award-count and potential-value rankings reflects CMS's concentration in high-dollar strategic communications contracts versus CBP's volume of smaller operational marketing calls. Nine distinct federal agencies have awarded to Elevacion; the top five account for 96% of combined potential value.

Elevacion's primary vehicle is the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), under which it holds a $43.8 million Federal Supply Schedule contract (awarded January 2024, running through January 2029) covering 31 labor categories in graphic design, media planning, account management, creative direction, and strategic planning at hourly rates spanning $119.87 (Graphic Designer, two years' experience) to $378.53 (Senior Partner/Program Director, eighteen years' experience). All positions require bachelor's degrees and no security-cleared roles are offered. The MAS vehicle anchors 93 task orders valued at $392.3 million combined potential value. Elevacion also operates under a $7.5 million multiple-award BPA with the Export-Import Bank (awarded September 2023, through September 2028) for communications and social media services, and holds a $5.1 million CBP BPA for ESTA media outreach services and marketing (ceiling through March 2027). The Professional Services Schedule accounts for 72 task orders valued at $54 million combined potential value, suggesting Elevacion leverages both GSA and agency-specific vehicles.

Within DHS CBP, representative work spans ESTA program marketing ($6.5 million Trusted Traveler Program outreach call through September 2026, delivering 2.6 FTEs and government-invoiced labor of $1.9 million through FY2025 at a derived rate of $197.34/hr), Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism conference support, Central America dissuasive marketing campaigns, and internal strategic communications to the Office of Field Operations. Across DHS Immediate Office of the Secretary, Elevacion delivers office of Homeland Security Statistics core report services and organizational innovation reports (ranging from $4 million to $6 million call values). SCI-reported invoiced revenue totaled $30.3 million across 24.8 FTEs in FY2025, $50.6 million across 29.1 FTEs in FY2024, $53.8 million across 21.3 FTEs in FY2023, and $24.8 million across 13.7 FTEs in FY2022, indicating a plateau following growth through FY2023. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid hourly rates median around $319.89/hr, with a 10th percentile of $161.79/hr and a 90th percentile of $2,395.46/hr, reflecting mix of entry-level design labor and senior-level strategic direction. Elevacion self-performed 91% of contractor hours on average across SCI-reportable prime contracts, with only 9% of hours performed by named subcontractors (six total subs named across the dataset), positioning the company as a predominantly insourced delivery model with minimal subcontractor leverage.

Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal: only two awards (combined potential value $6 million) reach ultimate completion before October 2028, with the $43.8 million GSA MAS vehicle and $252.3 million CMS portfolio extending well beyond the two-year window. Activity velocity has moderated in recent years — three awards in 2026 (as of late September), four in 2025, and six in 2024 — suggesting either a maturing account base with fewer new task orders or potential pipeline shift. Elevacion's footprint is anchored in NAICS 541810 (Advertising Agencies, 95 awards) and 541820 (Marketing Consulting Services, 21 awards), with PSC support codes reflecting public relations (71 awards) and advertising work (26 awards), confirming capability concentration in government communications rather than technical or management consulting services.

Elevation is an award-winning,

full-service communications company with its roots in multi-cultural advertising.
