Fiscalnote, Inc.

Fiscalnote, Inc., a Washington, D.C.-based technology company, is a prime federal contractor delivering subscription-based legislative intelligence platforms, including CQ Roll Call, CQ.COM, and FiscalNote, to 65 distinct federal agencies on a full-and-open (non-set-aside) basis. The company competes exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontracting footprint; it holds a single-award, $60 million Indefinite Delivery Contract through the Library of Congress FEDLINK program (October 2023 through September 2028) that serves as the primary vehicle for its federal business. Fiscalnote operates as a parent company with one named subsidiary, CQ Roll Call, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business.

Fiscalnote's federal capability is narrowly defined: subscription access to congressional tracking, bill monitoring, legislative news analysis, member profiles, hearing transcripts, and customized policy analysis through its proprietary CQ Roll Call, CQ.COM, and FiscalNote platforms. The company delivers no other goods or services to the federal government. Representative work includes a $751,648.75 delivery order from the Department of State Bureau of Administration for comprehensive legislative platform access (May 2025, FEDLINK vehicle), a $599,442.20 definitive contract with the Federal Communications Commission for CQ Roll subscriptions through August 2030, and a $320,098.58 delivery order to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency for quarterly CQ subscriptions through August 2029. A $24,000 one-day congressional training workshop with Department of Homeland Security (March 2023) and a $265,495 congressional training definitive contract with the U.S. Air Force (January 2023 through November 2027) represent exceptions; most work is platform subscription delivery.

Customer concentration is moderate and diffuse. The top five customer agencies by award count (NASA Shared Services Center, 11 awards; Department of Justice Justice Management Division, 8 awards; DEA, 4 awards; National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 4 awards; Department of Interior Office of Inspector General, 3 awards) account for 27 percent of 113 total awards. However, dollar concentration is lower: the Department of State Bureau of Administration leads by potential value at $1.8 million across 3 awards (6 percent of combined potential value), followed by the Federal Communications Commission at $719 thousand. Most agencies award Fiscalnote contracts in the $15,000 to $150,000 range annually. This distribution suggests Fiscalnote functions as a widely adopted commodity service rather than a strategic vendor for any single agency.

The Library of Congress FEDLINK Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC 03310323D0031) anchors Fiscalnote's federal business: 49 of 113 awards are task orders issued under this vehicle, carrying $6 million in combined potential value. Task orders span 40+ civilian agencies, reflecting FEDLINK's design as a governmentwide mechanism for electronic information resources. Delivery orders under FEDLINK run through September 2028; the vehicle itself expires that month. Fiscalnote holds no other parent vehicles, no GWACs, no BPAs, and no agency-wide IDIQs beyond FEDLINK.

Activity has grown sharply. Fiscalnote recorded 7 awards in 2022, 14 in 2023, 36 in 2024, and 30 in 2025; the 2026 count stands at 11 (partial-year snapshot as of late June 2026). The combined potential value across all 113 awards is $70.3 million, though only $6.3 million (9 percent) has been obligated to date. Fifteen awards totaling $1.7 million in potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represent recompete exposure. Most recompetes will be handled through FEDLINK task order renewals or direct purchases by using agencies; the FEDLINK IDC itself recompetes in September 2028 — a multi-billion-dollar recompete opportunity should Fiscalnote choose to pursue continuation.

Fiscalnote competes in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside footprint. One subsidiary, CQ Roll Call, Inc., holds self-certified small disadvantaged business status, but source data does not show this designation driving contract awards or set-aside competitions. Work is performed entirely in Washington, D.C.; performance locations do not extend to field offices or subordinate locations.
