Elevation, LTD.

Elevation, LTD., doing business as Elevacion, is a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Washington, D.C., that delivers integrated marketing, communications, public relations, branding, and creative services to federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively (100% of awards). The company is a Subchapter S corporation and Hispanic American-owned entity that competes predominantly full-and-open without set-aside protections, though individual task orders under its vehicles occasionally carry small-business set-asides.

Elevacion's customer footprint is heavily concentrated in the Department of Homeland Security ecosystem. DHS Customs and Border Protection dominates the portfolio at 94 awards (203.1 million combined potential value, or roughly 36% of total dollars), anchored by long-running work on the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) program, the Trusted Traveler Program, trade facilitation, border security outreach, and dissuasive marketing campaigns targeting Central America. Beyond CBP, the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services brings substantial dollars ($234.3 million across 5 awards) — the second-largest customer by potential value but a stark contrast in award volume, signaling a small number of high-dollar vehicles. DHS's Chief Procurement Officer office and Immediate Office of the Secretary add $33.6 million and $31 million respectively, and GSA Federal Acquisition Service contributes $43.9 million across the company's own Federal Supply Schedule contract. The top five customers account for 96% of combined potential value across 112 awards.

Elevacion operates primarily through two parent vehicles: the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule (91 task orders, $373.4 million) and The Professional Services Schedule (72 task orders, $54 million). A $48.7 million single-award BPA with DHS CBP and a $7.5 million multiple-award BPA with the Export-Import Bank provide direct agency vehicles. A newly awarded GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract effective January 17, 2024, through January 16, 2029, carries a $43.8 million ceiling with 31 labor categories spanning graphic design, media planning, account management, creative direction, and strategic planning; all roles require bachelor's degrees with no security-cleared positions offered, and hourly rates run from $119.87 to $378.53. Representative recent task orders include a $6.5 million Trusted Traveler Program outreach BPA call (June 2024), a $5.1 million ESTA media outreach and marketing BPA call (September 2025), a $4.9 million DHS Office of the Secretary core report support services BPA call (June 2025), and a $4.1 million Office of Homeland Security Statistics core report support services BPA call (June 2024).

SCI-reported invoiced revenue across federal prime service contracts above the $150,000 threshold grew from $24.8 million in FY2022 (13.7 FTEs) to $53.8 million in FY2023 (21.3 FTEs) to $50.6 million in FY2024 (29.1 FTEs), reflecting substantial scale-up across the period. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI contracts ranged from $159.42 at the 10th percentile to a median of $305.82/hr, with senior roles commanding rates through $2,470.90/hr. The company performs nearly all work in-house; across SCI-reported prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for an average of 10% of total contractor hours, with five named subcontractors in the dataset. The company operates as a pure prime: it holds no sub-awards in the source and does not operate as a subcontractor to other primes.

Recent award activity has moderated from a 2024 peak of six awards to one award in 2026 year-to-date, though the 2026 sample consists of a single data point (the February 2026 CBP conference support delivery order). Only four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying $16.6 million in combined potential value — a modest recompete cliff. The broader portfolio, anchored by the DHS CBP relationship and the GSA vehicles, demonstrates sustained ordering activity despite year-to-year variability in new-award counts. NAICS coding reflects Elevacion's pure marketing-and-communications posture: 93 of 119 awards classify under Advertising Agencies (NAICS 541810), with 21 under Marketing Consulting Services and 5 under Graphic Design Services; PSC coding shows Support-Management: Public Relations (71 awards) and Support-Management: Advertising (25 awards) as the dominant work categories.

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