Forum One Communications Corp

Forum One Communications Corp, doing business as Forum One, delivers web design, software development, digital marketing, content strategy, and user experience solutions to federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) competing predominantly full-and-open on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and related vehicles with no SBA set-aside certifications at the corporate level, though individual task orders carry total or partial small business set-asides as applicable. The Subchapter S Corporation, headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, and registered as a federal contractor since 2001, competes across 36 distinct federal agencies with a $430.6 million combined potential value portfolio anchored by four large blanket purchase agreements and multiple delivery orders under GSA vehicles.

Forum One's customer concentration is dominated by civilian digital services customers. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau accounts for 23 awards and $168.5 million in combined potential value (39% of dollars), led by a $100 million BPA for design, development, content, and marketing support services running through February 2028 and a $15 million editorial support BPA running through November 2028. The Smithsonian Institution represents 21 awards ($5.8 million combined potential value) split across website development, Google Ads management, and content development. The Department of the Interior (DI), however, anchors the single largest potential-value position: a $40 million Acquia Platform-as-a-Service BPA awarded March 2025 and running through March 2030 to the Office of the Chief Information Officer, with three interior bureaus—DI Departmental Offices ($34 million for DOI.gov hosting and support, June 2025 to June 2030), Bureau of Reclamation ($8.7 million for Acquia PaaS services, September 2025 to June 2031), and Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 ($11.1 million for digital agency services, April 2025 to April 2030)—issuing sub-calls under that vehicle. Peace Corps ranks third by award count (16 awards, $2.8 million) and the National Endowment for the Humanities fourth (12 awards, $1.9 million). The National Park Service issued a $13.5 million BPA call on September 28, 2026, for Drupal migration and content management system work under the Office of the Chief Information Officer Acquia PaaS BPA, running through September 2031 and set aside for total small business. Concentration by dollars is high—the top five customer agencies account for 74% of combined potential value—with CFPB and DI's Acquia vehicle dominating the forward pipeline.

Forum One's vehicle position centers on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, which carries 102 task orders and $287.7 million in combined potential value, with IT Schedule 70 placing 36 task orders and $17.8 million. The vendor holds three large blanket purchase agreements as a single-award prime: the $100 million CFPB design, development, content, and marketing BPA (total small business set-aside, February 2023 to February 2028), the $40 million DI Acquia PaaS BPA (no set-aside, March 2025 to March 2030), and the $15 million CFPB editorial support BPA (total small business set-aside, May 2023 to November 2028). Forum One also holds a $6.5 million single-award Digital Design and Development BPA with the National Archives and Records Administration under the GSA Schedule, currently in Option Year IV (September 2025 to September 2026), covering Archives.gov website redesign and migration work. Recent representative work includes a $13.5 million NPS Drupal migration and CMS work (September 2026), a $3.75 million National Assessment Governing Board website support delivery order (July 2026), a $6.41 million National Gallery of Art Drupal website development definitive contract (January 2025), a $2.73 million Department of the Interior Office of Human Capital Drupal development and operations contract (August 2023), and a $2.4 million Environmental Protection Agency web content management system upgrade (November 2021, total small business set-aside). The $3.1 million Department of Justice National FOIA Wizard delivery order (September 2022, total small business set-aside) rounds out the multi-million-dollar work set.

Activity has been uneven year over year—seven awards in 2022 rose to twelve in 2024, then declined to ten in 2025 and five in 2026 (through late September)—suggesting either a shift in award timing or portfolio maturation. Six awards with combined potential value of $13.7 million face completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete opportunity. Across SCI-reportable prime service contracts, Forum One invoiced $19.9 million in federal government labor over FY2022 through FY2025, with FY2022 representing the peak at $9.5 million across 29.2 FTEs, declining to $4.1 million across 6.3 FTEs in FY2025; this SCI activity represents a strict subset of the vendor's federal services revenue and excludes goods, products, and non-federal work. Government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts ran a median of $162.94 per hour, with rates spanning from a 10th percentile of $133.75 per hour through senior labor at the 90th percentile of $371.05 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed an average of 12% of total contractor hours, with 36 named subcontractors engaged over the period; Forum One's FTE trajectory on federal services work has contracted from 24.4 FTEs in FY2022 to 5.8 FTEs in FY2025, reflecting a shift toward lower-FTE-intensity engagements or a smaller services footprint relative to SCI-reportable activities. In its subcontractor role, Forum One has delivered web and social analytics support to DAI Global LLC on international development programs, environmental consulting to Research Triangle Institute on the EPA's drinking water program, and educational research support to RTI on the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study.
