Lexisnexis Special Services Inc.

LexisNexis Special Services Inc., doing business as Reed Exhibitions, a large, for-profit subsidiary of Reed International PLC headquartered in McLean, Virginia, is a government-wide prime contractor delivering identity verification, data analytics, fraud prevention, and investigative research services across 90 federal agencies—competing entirely on full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations. The company operates as a 100% prime contractor across its federal footprint, with combined potential value of $1.63 billion across 406 awards spanning nearly two decades of federal contracting since 2003.

LexisNexis anchors its federal position on two dominant indefinite delivery vehicles: the $194.5 million GSA Login.gov Next Generation Identity Proofing BPA (multiple-award, awarded March 15, 2024, ultimate completion March 14, 2029) and a $528.6 million Department of Labor BPA for unemployment insurance identity verification and fraud protection under the American Rescue Plan Act. The Login.gov BPA alone has generated three task orders totaling approximately $92.3 million: a $7.45 million FA1 document capture and authentication call awarded May 1, 2024 (completion April 30, 2026); a $29.28 million continuity of identity verification solution call issued May 1, 2025 (completion April 30, 2027); and a $55.59 million combined FA1 and FA2 identity resolution call awarded May 1, 2026 (completion October 31, 2031). Beyond these flagship IDVs, the vendor holds 126 task orders valued at $1.37 billion across the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. Representative recent prime awards include a $33 million U.S. Secret Service delivery order for mission support analytical services (March 23, 2026, completion March 22, 2031); a $25.7 million Customs and Border Protection delivery order for law enforcement investigative database access (December 1, 2022, completion November 30, 2027); a $24.1 million Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency delivery order for LexisNexis ProMonitor alert service (March 28, 2024, completion March 27, 2028); and a $6.05 million Bureau of Diplomatic Security delivery order for ACCURINT investigative tools (September 29, 2021, completion September 28, 2026).

Customer concentration is pronounced across two rankings. By award count, the top five agencies account for 31% of all awards: Federal Emergency Management Agency (44 awards, $51.8 million potential value), FEMA Incident Support Section (32 awards, $3.2 million), Coast Guard (20 awards, $1 million), Office of Personnel Management (16 awards, $104.7 million), and Internal Revenue Service (12 awards, $137.5 million). By potential value, the top five diverge substantially: GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates at $550.6 million combined potential value (9 awards), followed by the IRS at $137.5 million (12 awards), OPM at $104.7 million (16 awards), FEMA at $51.8 million (44 awards), and Immigration and Customs Enforcement at $45.1 million (6 awards). The GSA's $550.6 million figure reflects the aggregated ceiling value of multiple task orders placed against the Login.gov BPA and the Multiple Award Schedule vehicle, illustrating how platform concentration inflates a single customer's dollar share despite moderate award count. FEMA's large award count masks its relatively lower dollar value per award—primarily small task orders for disaster-relief identity verification and fraud prevention support.

Capability scope spans four concurrent pillars: government-wide identity proofing and authentication (Login.gov document capture, identity verification, fraud prevention); law enforcement and investigative research (ACCURINT for Government, ACCURINT for Law Enforcement, ACCURINT Virtual Crime Center, Accurint Trax with VIPER, investigative search engines); credit and background reporting (tri-merged credit reports, background investigations, skip tracing); and specialized fraud and risk mitigation (ProMonitor alert service, FraudPoint scoring, risk mitigation support for ICE Homeland Security Investigations). Across the award portfolio, 119 awards fall under the Credit Bureaus NAICS, 83 under Other Computer Related Services, 38 under Computer Training, and 29 under Software Publishers, with top PSC categories reflecting web-based subscription IT services (61 awards), administrative credit reporting support (43 awards), and web-based subscription systems (37 awards). Recent work for disaster response agencies (FEMA) includes identity verification and authentication support for hurricanes Idalia, Fiona, and related disasters, as well as COVID-19 funeral assistance batch processing. Work for the IRS includes fraud verification and identity proofing development under the American Rescue Plan Act. The vendor maintains no active security-cleared labor on GSA Schedule (13 active labor categories, no secret or top secret roles), with rates spanning $84.51/hr for Systems Administrator through $337.15/hr for Principal Software Engineer.

Activity has remained steady at 18–27 awards per year from 2022 through 2025, declining to 5 awards in 2026 (likely incomplete year-to-date as of the May 1, 2026 reporting date). Nineteen awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing $89.6 million in combined potential value and triggering recompete risk. SCI-reportable invoiced revenue (service contracts above $150,000) totaled $2.6 million across FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $1.5 million / 3.0 FTEs; FY2023: $105 thousand / 0.0 FTEs; FY2024: $1 million / 2.5 FTEs), with government-paid hourly rates derived from SCI records averaging around $310/hr (10th percentile $197/hr, 90th percentile $3,800/hr), reflecting a mix of standard IT delivery labor and specialized subject-matter expert and analytical roles. SCI data is a narrow snapshot: it excludes goods, products, micro-purchases, classified contracts, and non-federal revenue, and captures only a subset of the vendor's $1.63 billion federal contracting footprint. The vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontractor engagements recorded in the award data—all delivery is self-performed.

Corporate structure places LexisNexis Special Services Inc. as a subsidiary of parent Relx Inc., a foreign-owned for-profit organization. Reed Exhibitions, the vendor's primary doing-business-as name, sits within the broader Relx divisional structure alongside seven other named subsidiaries including Reed Business Information LTD, Intelligize Incorporated, and Ascend Worldwide LTD. The parent company's foreign ownership is disclosed in the vendor record but carries no set-aside implications—the vendor competes on full-and-open federal procurements exclusively and maintains large-business posture across all awards.
