Excella, LLC

Excella, LLC, an Arlington, Virginia-based for-profit limited liability company, competes as a prime contractor (89% of awards) delivering data science, cloud engineering, Agile software development, and IT modernization services to federal civilian agencies on full-and-open competition across multiple contract vehicles and GSA Schedules. The vendor does not pursue set-aside categories; all recent awards are competed unrestricted.

Excella's customer base is heavily concentrated in civilian human resources and data modernization. The Office of Personnel Management dominates by award count—54 awards with $597.1 million combined potential value—anchored by a $110 million enterprise-wide data science and analytics BPA and multiple task orders for HR Systems (HRS) product development, Power BI and Power Apps engineering, Databricks deployment, and Human Capital Data and Management Modernization (HCDMM) platform work. The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health NITAAC Office of Information Technology Acquisition represents the largest single dollar exposure at $20 billion combined potential value (a placeholder ceiling on a multi-year IDV, not obligated value). The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command contributes $5.28 billion across nine awards, primarily under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ awarded December 29, 2025, with only a $500 placeholder initial delivery order to date. The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services accounts for $467.7 million across five awards, including a $120.2 million Digital Innovation and Development (DID(IT)) II delivery order from March 2022 supporting USCIS IT modernization through October 2026. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau placed 21 awards worth $81.3 million, primarily web and software development support on GSA Schedules through 2023. These top five customers account for 97% of combined potential value but only 68% of award count—a tension driven by the SHIELD and NIH IT Acquisition vehicles, which carry multi-billion-dollar ceilings but remain early in execution.

Excella's core vehicle position sits on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), where 88 task orders generate $1.44 billion combined potential value, including 30 orders under Information Technology Schedule 70 ($103.5 million) and 21 under the Professional Services Schedule ($17.5 million). The vendor also holds seat(s) on the OPM Data Science and Analytics Support Services IDIQ (5 task orders, $49.2 million), the FERC Data Support Services BPA ($112 million ceiling, three active BPA calls with $13 million invoiced through FY2025), and recently secured both a $138.1 million single-award BPA with the Office of the Inspector General (September 1, 2026) for data analytics support services under EO 14398, and the $151 billion SHIELD IDIQ with the Missile Defense Agency (December 29, 2025), though SHIELD work is nascent. The vendor also holds a $249 million multiple-award Basic Ordering Agreement with the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Joint Artificial Intelligence Center data readiness and AI development support through March 2027.

Recent GSA Schedule labor pricing spans $102.23/hr for entry-level health business data analyst roles (bachelor's degree, no clearance) to $258.80/hr for IT executive information technology consultant positions (bachelor's degree, seven years' experience, no clearance). The 61 active labor categories cluster around cloud development ($138–$157/hr), business analysis and management consulting ($173–$199/hr), and senior IT executive roles. SCI-reported invoiced activity on prime contracts totaled $163.3 million across FY2022–FY2025, with government-paid hourly rates (derived) clustering at a median of $147.65/hr, 10th percentile $118.31/hr, and 90th percentile $186.38/hr, consistent with GSA pricing. SCI-reported FTE delivery grew 80% from 101 FTEs in FY2022 to 206 FTEs in FY2025, reflecting scale-up on OPM and FERC programs. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 9% of contractor hours, with 55 named subs engaged; Excella self-performs the substantial majority of delivery.

Excella subcontracts to Federal Management Partners, LLC on multiple OPM human capital program strategy and support service calls covering user experience design research, human-centered design, digital transformation, and data science support for OPM's Federal Staffing Center programs (USA Staffing, USAJOBS, USA Hire, USA Performance). Excella also subs to Intellibridge, LLC on a USCIS platform modernization sub-award (July 2026), to General Dynamics Information Technology on visa lifecycle support services (September 2024), and to TQI Solutions, Inc. on Naval Sea Systems Command Agile and SAFe engineering support (July 2025). The subcontract footprint reflects OPM dominance—nine recent subs to Federal Management Partners spanning multiple calls through the Federal Staffing Center and Human Resources Line of Business (HRLOB) data management programs—with the remainder supporting defense and immigration modernization efforts under larger prime contractors.

Activity per fiscal year shows growth: seven awards in 2022, two in 2023 (recompete quiet period), eight in 2024, thirteen in 2025, and six awarded through September 2026. Eight awards totaling $87.3 million combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete exposure for OPM HRS, CFPB, and FERC contracts. SCI invoicing grew 80% year over year from FY2022 to FY2025 ($28.8 million to $51.9 million), consistent with expanding prime delivery headcount on OPM platform modernization and data analytics work. The vendor carries no security-clearance-based labor roles on its GSA Schedule and does not report classified or defense-primary work in recent active prime awards, concentrating instead on civilian data engineering, cloud modernization, and HR systems transformation.
