About the company
INQ LLC, an SBA 8(a) certified economically disadvantaged women-owned small business and Asian-Pacific American minority-owned company headquartered in McLean, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor providing specialized OSINT tools, transition support services for federal infrastructure modernization, and defense research and development labor and materials across civilian and defense agencies. The company competes predominantly under 8(a) sole-source and total small business set-asides on definitive contracts and task orders, though it maintains a position on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and holds a seat on the Missile Defense Agency's $151 billion Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ under full-and-open competition.
INQ LLC's federal footprint is concentrated and recent. The vendor has placed eight prime awards (100% of its portfolio) across four distinct customer agencies since September 2023, with combined potential value of $1.5 million. The Transportation Security Administration anchors the portfolio, accounting for three awards and $978 thousand in combined potential value — all tied to 8(a) sole-source transition support services for TSA's mandated migration to the GSA Enterprise Infrastructure Solution (EIS). Representative work includes a $529,737 firm-fixed-price definitive contract awarded September 30, 2025, for technical and pricing consulting support under the EIS program (exercising Option Period 1 through September 29, 2027), a $251,916 contract from September 27, 2024, covering similar EIS transition support, and a $196,720 closeout contract from September 28, 2023. The Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division holds two awards with nominal combined potential value ($1 thousand) under a specialized OSINT tools indefinite-delivery contract (NAICS 513210, Software Publishers) set as a total small business multiple-award IDIQ with an eight-month ceiling ($500) and a performance period extending through March 29, 2032; the contract structure includes up to two vendors per category across eleven OSINT tool categories (financial, dark web, business information, vehicle history, terrorism-related data, imagery, video, identity records, and property records), all delivered as FedRAMP-certified SaaS with 24/7 support and Section 508 compliance. The Missile Defense Agency awarded two task orders carrying nominal value ($500 combined potential value) under the SHIELD program, with the initial delivery order placed December 29, 2025, at Huntsville, Alabama, supporting multi-domain defense systems engineering, artificial intelligence integration, and modernization across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat domains through December 28, 2035. GSA's Federal Acquisition Service supplies a $500,000 Federal Supply Schedule contract through May 27, 2030, covering IT professional services and engineering across two special item numbers (54151S and 541330ENG) with labor rates spanning $55.87 to $250.61 per hour across software engineers, security engineers, program managers, and program support specialists.
Activity accelerated sharply in 2025, jumping from one award annually in 2023 and 2024 to four awards in 2025 and two in 2026. Two awards (combined potential value $530 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing recompete risk on TSA's EIS transition support work. INQ LLC operates as a parent holding three named subsidiaries: Pexchange LLC (woman-owned, Asian-Pacific American minority-owned WOSB), Vanguard Research, Inc. (woman-owned, Asian-Pacific American minority-owned WOSB under Subchapter S structure), and Qigc LLC (joint-venture women-owned, DOT-certified DBE). The subsidiary structure suggests capability depth in data exchange, research services, and DBE-eligible procurement channels, though the current award footprint does not surface active priming or substantial subcontracting work under these entities.
