About the company
Kaptivate LLC, a minority-owned, Hispanic American–owned 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business based in Alexandria, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) delivering open innovation prize competition design, strategic program management, competency modeling, and marketing and communications services to civilian federal agencies under set-aside and full-and-open vehicles. The company is a sole proprietorship competing predominantly under 8(a) and Total Small Business set-asides; across recent awards, approximately 58% carry 8(a) designations (either Competitive or Sole Source) and 33% carry Total Small Business set-asides.
Kaptivate's customer concentration sits heavily with GSA and the Department of Education. The top five funding agencies account for 71% of awards by count. GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates potential value with $3.45 billion in combined potential across four awards, reflecting Kaptivate's seat on the OASIS+8A competitive 8(a) multiple-award IDIQ (awarded August 2025, ceiling through August 2030) and the OASIS+SB Total Small Business multiple-award IDIQ (awarded April 2025, ceiling through April 2030). The Department of Education's Office of Career Technical and Adult Education anchors volume with six awards worth $97.3 million combined potential, centered on open innovation prize competition design and launch work under the Experimental Design and Advanced Research Projects Accelerator (EDARPA) BPA. The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration, National Institute of Standards and Technology, and GSA's Technology Transformation Service round out the top five by potential value. Representative recent work includes a $20 million EDARPA BPA call (awarded September 2026) to develop collaborative ecosystems connecting secondary and postsecondary education, adult education providers, employers, workforce entities, and community partners; a $17.1 million EDARPA call (awarded September 2025) to design and launch an open innovation prize competition for the Career and Technical Education Connecting Talent to Opportunity Challenge; a $6.3 million call to design and conduct the Work-Based Learning Ecosystem Challenge under EDARPA; and an $85 million BPA with HHS for HRSA-wide marketing services on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule.
Vehicle position reflects a deliberate IDIQ and BPA strategy. Kaptivate holds four GSA and agency IDIQs and BPAs: the OASIS+8A competitive 8(a) multiple-award IDIQ, the OASIS+SB Total Small Business multiple-award IDIQ, a $70 million NIST multiple-award IDIQ (awarded September 2024) for marketing, branding, communications, and strategic analysis services through August 2029, and the $85 million single-award HHS BPA. Twelve task orders against the Multiple Award Schedule carry $189.3 million in combined potential value; five against EDARPA carry $47.3 million. The awards per year trajectory shows accelerating volume from 2022 (two awards) through 2024 (seven awards), with four awards (combined potential value $23.1 million) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete.
SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold reached $3.5 million in FY2024 across 8.3 FTEs, climbing from $1.1 million in FY2022 across 4.3 FTEs. Kaptivate self-performs all labor (zero sub-hours share across SCI-reportable prime contracts), reflecting a direct-delivery model. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI contracts median around $141/hr, with the spectrum ranging from roughly $105/hr to $167/hr — positioning the company in the administrative and program-management bandwidth rather than highly specialized technical labor. GSA Schedule labor offerings span 33 categories from Administrative Support ($83.27/hr) through Technology Consultant III ($321.29/hr), with education requirements ranging from high school through master's degree and no security-cleared roles currently offered. The capability portfolio reflects service delivery in program management, strategic communications, open innovation and challenge design, human capital and training support, and marketing and branding — all framed toward civilian agency mission support rather than defense or classified work.
