Experian Information Solutions, Inc.

Experian Information Solutions, Inc., operating as Experian, is a foreign-owned, for-profit information services company based in Costa Mesa, California, that competes full-and-open across federal civilian and defense agencies as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) delivering credit reporting, identity verification, income verification, data analytics, and consumer credit panel survey services. The company holds no SBA certifications and builds its delivery teams internally, with zero subcontractor engagement across SCI-reportable prime contracts.

Experian's federal footprint spans 58 distinct customer agencies with $2.13 billion in combined potential value across 204 awards (204 prime contracts and IDVs, 8 sub-awards). The top five customers by award count account for 57% of recent awards, anchored by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (71 awards, $80.8 million combined potential value) dominating activity through a $23.3 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract for consumer credit information panel data collection that has generated 18 task orders valued at $18.3 million. The Social Security Administration (14 awards, $77.5 million combined potential value) is the second-largest customer, with work centering on a $31.2 million External Data Source IDC for identity proofing and credentialing services supporting online customer verification; Experian issued six task orders under this vehicle totaling $23.4 million in potential value. The Department of Justice US Marshals Service Asset Forfeiture Contracts Team places high-volume, low-dollar purchases (17 awards, $130 thousand), while the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (7 awards, $10.9 million) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (7 awards, $7.9 million) round out the concentrated set. By potential value, the rankings shift dramatically: the Department of Treasury Internal Revenue Service anchors $1.8 billion in combined potential value across four awards—a single outlier figure that represents an IRS modernization or major enterprise contract vehicle that dwarfs all other customer relationships and creates extreme concentration risk.

Experian's vehicle portfolio includes a $39.5 million GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract (awarded August 2024, through July 2029) covering credit reporting, employment verification, fraud detection, business intelligence, and consumer credit reports with volume-based pricing; 26 task orders have been placed under this vehicle totaling $6.8 million. The company also holds a $7.5 million Housing and Urban Development blanket purchase agreement for credit bureau services (awarded June 2023, extended through June 2028), a $6.87 million Food and Nutrition Service indefinite delivery contract for SNAP and income verification services (through September 2027), and a $5 million Library of Congress FEDLINK electronic resources subscription IDC (through September 2027). Recent prime work examples include a $39.8 million Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services sole-source definitive contract awarded February 2026 for remote identity proofing services supporting CMS identity management and health insurance exchange authentication across multiple access points through February 2029; a $1.44 million Food and Nutrition Service delivery order issued September 2026 for unlimited income verification reports; a $1.06 million Consumer Financial Protection Bureau delivery order for consumer credit information panel data collection (September 2026); and a $555 thousand Defense Logistics Agency delivery order under the GSA MAS for enterprise market research subscription and business credit information (May 2026, extending through May 2031).

Activity has been steady across the recent period—12 awards in 2022, 18 in 2023, 23 in 2024, 16 in 2025, and 12 in 2026 (partial year)—with 12 awards (combined potential value $7.1 million) facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore exposed to recompete. On the sub side, Experian delivers identity verification services to Booz Allen Hamilton on the HALE BOPP/COMET IT operations and maintenance project (multiple awards from 2022 through 2025 for credit bureau and business information services), identity and access management services to By Light Professional IT Services under a VA contract (July 2024), and consolidated debt collection system support to Accenture Federal Services (May 2023). Across SCI-reportable service contracts above the $150,000 threshold, Experian invoiced $95.7 million in FY2022–FY2025, with sharp growth in FY2025: $9.3 million (FY2022), $14.7 million (FY2023), $17 million (FY2024), and $54.8 million (FY2025). Workforce scale reflected in SCI ranged from 2.7 FTEs in FY2022 to 7.6 FTEs in FY2025. Government-paid hourly rates on federal services contracts ran a median around $1,919/hr, with senior labor pricing spanning $3,252/hr at the 90th percentile and entry-level rates around $1,263/hr at the 10th percentile. The vendor self-performs all SCI-reportable labor; zero subcontractor hours are reported across the SCI dataset.
