Govplace, LLC

Govplace, LLC, doing business as Govplace Inc., is a small business IT hardware and software reseller and systems integrator headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, competing predominantly as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) across federal civilian and defense agencies through full-and-open and small business set-aside vehicles. The company operates across a sprawling, highly diversified customer base spanning 392 federal agencies with no single customer accounting for more than 3% of recent award volume, anchored by Department of Homeland Security components (DHS CPO, CBP, Coast Guard, FLETC, and Secret Service together account for 32% of awards by count) and concentrated in IT hardware procurement, software licensing, and infrastructure maintenance delivered through transactional delivery orders and BPA calls.

Govplace's capability footprint centers on IT commodities and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions: hardware procurement (Dell servers, Cisco networking, Apple computing, HPE enterprise equipment, Nutanix appliances), software licensing and maintenance renewals (Splunk, VMware, Palo Alto Networks, Anaconda, Kiteworks, Oracle, Veeam, SAP governance suites), cloud and infrastructure services (AWS, Azure, GCP, Nutanix virtualization), and specialized forensics and law enforcement tools (GrayKey, EnCase, HYCU backup, CellHawk, Oxygen Forensic Detective). Representative prime work includes a $5.4 million Netscout software, hardware, training, and support delivery to DISA (Oct 2025, SEWP V); a $2.48 million Air Force eDiscovery SaaS solution at DOD Impact Level 5 with FedRAMP High certification (Feb 2025, ITES-2); a $1.94 million Department of Transportation Palo Alto AI software support (Sep 2025, SEWP V); and an $18.2 million National Cancer Institute discipline-agnostic electronic lab notebook software deployment across NIH (Sep 2025, CIO-CS). Two single-award IDIQs with the U.S. Secret Service—a $50 million software licensing contract (Sep 2024) and a $31.5 million class kits vehicle for the National Computer Forensics Institute (Jul 2024)—anchor Govplace's law enforcement capability and represent the largest potential-value customer relationships; recent delivery orders against these include a $3.28 million Secret Service Class Kits B order (Aug 2025) and a $1.78 million National Computer Forensics Institute hardware procurement (Aug 2025).

Vehicle positioning is heavily concentrated in two high-velocity GSA transactional vehicles: FirstSource (1,641 task orders, $437.3 million combined potential value) and FirstSource II (1,471 task orders, $338.2 million), along with the Multiple Award Schedule (656 task orders, $1.59 billion potential value) and SEWP V (517 task orders, $166.7 million). Govplace's awards are predominantly small task orders and BPA calls—the median delivery order ceiling is sub-$100K—indicating a vendor profile oriented toward rapid, repetitive commodity resale rather than complex integrations or managed services. Top NAICS codes reinforce this: Other Computer Related Services (4,448 awards), Computer and Software Stores (1,085), and Electronic Computer Manufacturing (250). The SCI dataset shows FY2024 invoiced revenue of $99.5 million across 5.1 FTEs on prime contracts, with a median government-paid hourly rate of $40,845 per hour—an anomalously high figure indicating the SCI dataset is capturing predominantly fixed-price hardware and software orders rather than time-and-materials labor; the 10th percentile rate of $148.38/hr and 90th percentile of $306,913.51/hr reflect extreme variance driven by product-line pricing rather than labor billing posture. On GSA Schedule labor categories, Govplace offers 415 active rates spanning $39.73/hr (Computer User Support Specialist) to $398.39/hr (Chief Information Security Officer), with no security-cleared roles; this broad portfolio signals labor-rate availability across the full IT support spectrum (entry-level support, developers, cloud engineers, CISO-level consulting) without specialized clearance footprint.

Customer concentration is dispersed: the top five DHS customers by award count (DHS CPO, CBP, Coast Guard, FLETC, Secret Service) represent 2,092 awards but only 32% of total awards; by potential value, USCIS dominates the top tier at $1.08 billion across 146 awards, with CBP ($204.9 million), Secret Service ($173.7 million), DHS CPO ($156.7 million), and TSA ($76.6 million) following distantly. This split signals a vendor with massive volume across small commodity purchases and a small number of large system procurements anchored in immigration and border-security IT modernization. Activity has declined modestly year over year—194 awards in 2022 to 172 in 2025, with only 33 awards year-to-date through August 2026—consistent with a maturing, transactional reseller footprint. A recompete cliff of 107 awards ($122.1 million combined potential value) completing within the next twenty-four months poses moderate risk; the small average order size mitigates the dollar impact, but the high volume suggests continuous competitive pressure across the GSA Schedule and SEWP V spaces.

Govplace operates primarily as a reseller and systems integrator, not a deep custom-development or managed-services vendor. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for 4% of total hours (4 named subs), indicating Govplace builds its own delivery and procurement teams and does not rely on a broad subcontracting network. Named sub work includes Jira and Confluence software licensing renewals to Colsa Corp (Oct 2025, Bounty Hunter program support), Bitbucket and Atlassian plugin renewals under the same prime (Sep 2025), and cable and connector assemblies for Bounty Hunter to Colsa (Sep 2025), suggesting Govplace's sub role is niche and reactive. As a subcontractor to primes, Govplace has minimal exposure in the source data, appearing as a named sub on only 37 awards (1% of total), largely software maintenance and licensing deliveries to larger contractors.

Corporate structure shows Govplace, LLC as the parent entity with one subsidiary, Govwave LLC, also organized as an LLC; no material business description distinguishes Govwave, and the source suggests Govwave operates as a contained subsidiary rather than a distinct operating division. The company is a certified small business registered in SAM since March 2002, with no minority-, women-, or veteran-ownership designations present in the source. Govplace competes in full-and-open procurements but leverages its small business status across set-aside vehicles (total small business set-asides dominate the contract descriptions), positioning itself for GSA Schedule, SEWP V, and FirstSource small business opportunities rather than 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. This posture—broad small business eligibility, no specialized socioeconomic designation, transactional resale model, dispersed customer base, and reliance on high-velocity GSA vehicles—identifies Govplace as a commodity-focused IT reseller with deep federal procurement access but limited differentiation or strategic lock-in. The $112 billion combined potential value across 6,504 awards reflects a vendor with enormous breadth and dollar exposure but minimal control over demand; the steep decline from potential value ($112B) to obligated dollars ($1.48B, 1%) underscores the fixed-price, delivery-order nature of the work and suggests actual enterprise revenue is a small fraction of ceiling values.
