About Excelsior Defense, Inc.
Excelsior Defense, Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) and self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, operates exclusively as a prime contractor providing unarmed and armed security guard services to the federal government, with active SBA certifications expiring April 20, 2028. The vendor competes across both set-aside (predominantly SDVOSB set-aside and sole-source) and unrestricted delivery orders, though set-aside designations recur frequently across the prime footprint.
Excelsior Defense's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on security operations: unarmed physical security, armed security guard staffing, access control, screening services, emergency support, and supervisory oversight. The vendor operates through two primary vehicles. Its $65.5 million GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract, awarded July 23, 2021, with final completion July 22, 2031, carries four labor categories (Guard I at $31.37/hr, Guard II at $37.00/hr, Supervisor at $56.00/hr, and Project Manager at $61.44/hr) available domestically across 48 states with no security-clearance requirements. The vendor also holds the Law Enforcement & Security Services IDV. Since the GSA MAS award, Excelsior Defense has received approximately 35 delivery orders and purchase orders totaling roughly $34.7 million, predominantly from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Representative work includes a $3.5 million unarmed security guard services delivery order to Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 in San Antonio, Texas (completion May 31, 2029), a $2.17 million SDVOSB set-aside delivery order to VISN 7 in Augusta, Georgia (completion September 30, 2026), and a $12.4 million consolidated security guard services delivery order to VISN 9 for Memphis VA Medical Center and associated clinics (completion September 30, 2026).
Customer concentration is extreme: the top five VA networks (VISN 8, VISN 9, the National Cemetery Administration, VISN 7, and VISN 17) account for 122 awards worth $103.5 million combined potential value across the entire award portfolio of 178 total awards. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 alone represents 50 awards ($61.6 million), reflecting the vendor's embedded position as the primary security provider across VA Gainesville facilities. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service sits at $65.7 million in combined potential value through the MAS vehicle itself. Beyond the VA and GSA, Excelsior Defense has worked with 14 additional federal agencies, though in minimal volume; concentration at the VA exceeds 90 percent of total potential value.
On the GSA Multiple Award Schedule vehicle, 128 task orders carry $125.5 million combined potential value. The Law Enforcement & Security Services IDV has generated 21 task orders worth $23.6 million. Other parent vehicles carry minimal volume. Activity has been episodic rather than growing: seven awards in 2022, nine in 2023, four in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026, suggesting either maturation into a steady-state delivery posture on existing large contracts or market compression. Eight awards with combined potential value of $26.3 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure concentrated at VA facilities in Gainesville and Sarasota.
SCI-reported invoiced revenue across federal service contracts above the reporting threshold was $9.3 million in FY2023 and $7.3 million in FY2024, supporting 171 FTEs in FY2023 and 147 FTEs in FY2024 on prime contracts. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts ran with median around $25.37/hr, ranging from $22.00/hr at the tenth percentile to $39.64/hr at the ninety-fifth percentile—reflecting low-skilled guard work at the bottom end and supervisory roles at the top. The vendor self-performed 100 percent of reported hours with zero subcontractor engagement, signaling a fully organic delivery model with no feeder-prime relationships. Excelsior Defense operates as a pure prime, building its own labor teams for every contract; it has never subcontracted as a named sub on any federal award in the source record.
