Global Skills Exchange Corporation

Global Skills Exchange Corporation, doing business as Gsx and Global Skills X-Change, operates as a veteran-owned small business providing professional staff augmentation, security certification support, and insider-threat training to defense and civilian federal agencies, primarily as a prime contractor (91% of awards) on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and OASIS+ Small Business set-asides. The Alexandria, Virginia-based Subchapter S corporation specializes in human resources consulting, security professional development, and counterintelligence support work under primary NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services) and PSC codes for professional support and certifications.

Global Skills Exchange's customer base concentrates heavily on defense and security agencies. The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) leads by both award count and dollars, with six awards carrying $19.4 million in combined potential value. The General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service and the Office of the Secretary of Defense split the second tier — GSA with two awards worth $19.1 million and OSD with five awards worth $9 million. The top five customer agencies account for 93% of combined potential value. Recent representative work includes a $3.9 million delivery order from the Secret Service under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule for HR Research and Assessment Division staff augmentation (awarded September 2026, running through May 2031), a $998,090 Total Small Business delivery order from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration for national registry test development and analysis (awarded September 2025, completion September 2030), and multiple DCSA task orders for security certification program support and counterintelligence training delivery.

Global Skills Exchange holds a seat on the OASIS+ Total Small Business set-aside IDIQ awarded April 15, 2025, with a five-year base period and one five-year option running through April 14, 2030. The IDIQ spans seven functional domains — Management and Advisory, Technical and Engineering, Research and Development, Intelligence Services, Environmental Services, Facilities, and Logistics — and carries a $999,999,999,999 ceiling (a system placeholder indicating no specified cap). The vendor places most task orders against the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (16 task orders, $42.9 million combined potential value), positioning it for broad federal agency access. Activity remains sparse in the recent award stream: only one award in 2021, one in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026, with combined potential value of $62.1 million across 22 awards since 2009 and combined dollars obligated of $35.9 million (58% of potential value). Subcontractor engagement is minimal — the vendor appears in two named sub positions (Pherson Associates and University of Maryland on security certification and insider-threat academy work), neither reported in the SCI dataset. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Global Skills Exchange invoiced $967 thousand over FY2023 through FY2025, delivering roughly 0.6 to 1.2 FTEs per fiscal year at median government-paid rates around $133.77 per hour, with rates spanning $108 to $160 per hour at the percentile extremes.
