Fearless Solutions, LLC

Fearless Solutions, LLC, doing business as Fearless, is a Baltimore-based, Black American-owned, minority-owned small disadvantaged business certified under the SBA 8(a) program that delivers cloud engineering, digital services, application modernization, and technical workforce development to federal civilian agencies almost exclusively as a prime contractor on GSA and agency-specific vehicles. The vendor operates 90 percent of its recent federal award footprint as a prime (100 of 111 awards), with the remaining 10 percent as a subcontractor on larger integrator-led programs; across SCI-reportable federal services contracts, Fearless invoiced $201.7 million from FY2022 through FY2025, peaking at $68.1 million in FY2024 across 209 FTEs, with government-paid hourly rates running a median of $149.45 per hour and ranging from roughly $96 to $188 per hour across the labor spectrum.

Fearless competes predominantly under competitive 8(a) and Total Small Business set-asides, reflecting its 8(a) certification and federal policy preference for small disadvantaged businesses. The vendor holds named subsidiaries Fearless Talent, LLC and Guides, LLC, both minority-owned and Black American-owned. The company's customer concentration is heavily shaped by two distinct acquisition vehicles. GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates the dollar ranking by an order of magnitude—15 awards carrying $50.07 billion in combined potential value—almost entirely through the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), where Fearless operates 74 task orders valued at $862.1 million. By award count, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services leads with 18 awards worth $197.3 million in combined potential value, followed closely by GSA Federal Acquisition Service with 15 awards. GSA Technology Transformation Service (9 awards, $31.3 million), CDC Pittsburgh (6 awards, $27.9 million), and the Air Force Air Education and Training Command (6 awards, $28.1 million) round out the top five funding customers. Across all 34 distinct customer agencies, the top five account for 49 percent of recent award count and 99 percent of combined potential value, signaling extreme concentration in a small number of large civilian customers.

Recent representative prime work spans technical training, digital infrastructure, and healthcare IT. Fearless received a $118 million multiple-award BPA from Treasury's Departmental Offices (awarded April 27, 2026, running through January 7, 2031) for non-IT technical workforce development and training under the MAS. At CDC, Fearless executed a $3.88 million delivery order under the 8(a) STARS III GWAC (September 6, 2024, completion September 23, 2027) for a data repository and dashboard supporting Executive Order 14398; SCI reporting shows FY2025 invoicing of $1.4 million across 4.3 FTEs and 8,863 contractor hours at a derived rate of $157.21 per hour, with 74 percent of hours subcontracted to three specialized labor providers. At the National Archives and Records Administration, Fearless secured a $65.57 million delivery order under 8(a) STARS III (September 30, 2022, completion September 29, 2027) for ERA 2.0 managed services and DevOps on a firm fixed-price basis. At CMS, Fearless holds a $67.56 million delivery order (August 23, 2022, completion November 23, 2026) for the Medicaid and CHIP Program (MACPRO) under the MAS with Total Small Business set-aside. Fearless also received a $1.32 million EDA Build to Scale grant (CFDA 11.024) from the Department of Commerce in November 2023 (completion October 31, 2026) to fund the Hutch Digital Services Incubator, which aims to scale minority-owned and women-owned digital services firms in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Fearless seats on the 8(a) STARS III government-wide acquisition contract (multi-award, competitive 8(a) set-aside, $50 billion ceiling, issued February 23, 2022, ultimate completion July 1, 2026) and holds named IDVs with the Office of Personnel Management ($132.86 million digital services BPA, single award, no set-aside, October 2022 through October 2027), the Securities and Exchange Commission ($62.5 million digital services BPA, multiple award, no set-aside, August 2023 through August 2028), the Department of Health and Human Services under the Pandemic Ready Interoperability Modernization Effort and Data Modernization Initiative ($96.44 million BPA, multiple award, no set-aside, ultimate completion September 2025), and the Office of Investments and Innovations ($4.5 million single-award IDC for user experience and agile capacity services, 8(a) sole source, August 2025 through August 2026). Fearless also holds a $15 million Basic Ordering Agreement with the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Joint Artificial Intelligence Center data readiness and AI development (multiple award, no set-aside, March 2022 through March 2027) and a $950 million multiple-award IDIQ with the Department of the Air Force for the Advanced Battle Management System program (no set-aside, ultimate completion May 2025).

On its subcontractor footprint, Fearless delivers digital services integration and modernization work to prime contractors anchored by Maximus Federal Services (Eligibility Appeals Operational Support, cited in three sub-award records from September 2023 forward), Booz Allen Hamilton (Data Modernization Accelerator for CDC, cited in two sub-award records from November 2024 forward), Leidos (enterprise notifications and system modernization support), Oddball (VA.gov Enterprise Notifications Project), and Solutions71 (Air Force Geospatial Information Management System staffing). These subcontract relationships position Fearless as a capacity provider and technical integrator to larger systems integrators rather than as an independent prime on defense or mixed-agency programs.

Activity peaked in 2022 at 24 awards, declined through 2024 (11 awards), softened in 2025 (5 awards), and rebounded modestly in 2026 (10 awards through September 30). Sixteen awards with combined potential value of $227.5 million reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and face recompete. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Fearless subcontracts an average of 36 percent of total contractor hours to a portfolio of 175 named subcontractors, signaling selective rather than pervasive reliance on outsourced delivery; workforce data shows FTEs fluctuating from 76 in FY2023 to a peak of 209 in FY2024 and settling at 102 in FY2025, reflecting both direct hiring and labor volatility tied to task-order pacing.

Fearless's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 81 active categories priced from $100.34 to $221.29 per hour, covering health IT and cloud IT development and DevOps roles at bachelor's-degree minimum with no security-clearance offerings. Representative pricing includes Health IT Web Developer I at $100.34 per hour (entry-level), Cloud IT Software Developer III at $190.36 per hour (seven years' experience), and Health IT DevOps Cloud Engineer III at $221.29 per hour (senior individual contributor)—a spectrum consistent with the vendor's median government-paid rate of $149.45 per hour on prime contracts and its 10th-to-90th percentile range of $95.55 to $187.96 per hour. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule serves as the dominant parent vehicle, with 74 task orders carrying $862.1 million in potential value, enabling Fearless to compete for civilian agency IT modernization, digital services, and workforce development work across departments including HHS, GSA, the Air Force, CDC, and Treasury.

Specialties include: Data Visualization, Software Engineering, Web Application Development, and Rapid Prototyping.
