Peraton Risk Decision Inc.

Peraton Risk Decision Inc., based in Loveland, Colorado, is a for-profit federal contractor operating exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) in background investigation and personnel security vetting services for civilian and national-security federal agencies. The vendor competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its portfolio.

Peraton's capability footprint centers on comprehensive background investigation fieldwork, personnel vetting, and security clearance support across multiple investigation tiers (Tier 4, Tier 5, reinvestigation, and periodic update investigations). The vendor's two largest federal vehicles are a $2.25 billion single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) through December 2027, which carries capacity to process up to 500,000 federal background investigations annually, and a $120 million single-award blanket purchase agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement under the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule through July 2029. A delivery order against the DCSA contract issued April 1, 2023, carries a $735.6 million ceiling and extends through March 31, 2027. Recent representative work includes a $115.7 million BPA call from Customs and Border Protection issued February 14, 2026, for background investigative services under GSA MAS, a $19.8 million Background Investigation Services II call from Immigration and Customs Enforcement for Tier 4, Tier 5, and reinvestigation checks with fieldwork products through February 2027, and an $81.5 million BPA call from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for background investigations supporting the Office of Security and Integrity through April 2026.

Customer concentration is pronounced. The Office of Personnel Management's National Background Investigations Bureau anchors 94% of combined potential value across the top five customers, with $11.22 billion across four awards; the DCSA adds $5.51 billion across five awards; and the OPM main office contributes $2.62 billion across five awards. Among the remaining dollars, Customs and Border Protection (19 awards, $512.9 million combined potential value) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (16 awards, $469 million combined potential value) lead by award count. The top five customers by potential value account for 94% of the vendor's combined potential value footprint, reflecting heavy concentration in civilian personnel security missions dominated by OPM and DCSA work.

On GSA Multiple Award Schedule, Peraton holds labor categories ranging from Administrative Assistant at $46.38 per hour through Program Manager at $169.37 per hour, with security-clearance requirements pervasive across the spectrum. The vendor's investigator and senior investigator roles are priced at $96.50 and $118.44 per hour respectively, with quality control and field management roles in the $88–$97 range. GSA Schedule activity delivers 75 task orders valued at $1.96 billion combined potential value, the largest vehicle by task-order count, followed by the Human Resources and Equal Employment Opportunity Services vehicle (29 task orders, $663.9 million combined potential value).

SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold shows growth: $168.7 million in FY2022 across 692 FTEs, rising to $226.8 million in FY2024 across 1,356 FTEs — a 35% revenue increase and 96% FTE expansion over two years. Government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts run a median of $78.28 per hour, with the 10th percentile at $38.29 per hour and the 90th percentile at $114.35 per hour. Subcontractor engagement on prime contracts averages 5% of contractor hours, with 36 named subcontractors reported. Named subs include Potomac Management Solutions LLC (an SBA-certified 8(a) and EDWOSB), Equifax Workforce Solutions LLC, and Omniplex World Services Corporation, deployed primarily for field investigative services and education verification work.

Peraton's award trajectory shows modest recent volume — two awards in each of 2025 and 2026 — against a long institutional history dating to 2002. Five awards carrying $894.7 million combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represent recompete exposure. The vendor operates across 25 distinct customer agencies with primary concentration in DHS components and OPM for investigative and security vetting work; 97 of 127 awards fall under NAICS 561611 (Investigation and Personal Background Check Services), underscoring capability singularity in federal background investigation markets.
