Nexight Group LLC

Nexight Group LLC, doing business as Nexight, provides regulatory consulting, policy analysis, strategic planning, communications support, and technical analysis services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (90% of recent awards) and selective subcontractor, headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland. The company is a small business limited liability company competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements; recent awards spanning FY2024–2026 carry no recurring set-aside designation, though a significant fraction of its work is set aside for total small business status. Nexight's core capability portfolio centers on federal agency support across regulatory writing, stakeholder engagement, workforce development planning, standards coordination, and strategic communications—delivered to civilian agencies across energy, manufacturing, agriculture, public health, and cybersecurity domains.

Nexight's customer base spans 38 distinct agencies, with concentration at the top tier. The Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology leads by award count (14 awards, $92.2 million combined potential value), anchored by a $70 million multiple-award IDIQ for marketing, branding, communications, and strategic analysis support to NIST's Innovation & Industry Services Organization (awarded September 1, 2024, through August 31, 2029). The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service follows by volume (18 awards, $3 million potential value), supporting the National Organic Program and regulatory writing across multiple rulemakings. The Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency ranks third by both count and value (8 awards, $22 million potential value), including a $1.196 million delivery order for stakeholder engagement and strategic planning support (awarded September 27, 2024, through May 26, 2025). GSA Federal Acquisition Service ranks second by potential value ($168.2 million across 2 awards), driven entirely by Nexight's recent award on the OASIS+ Total Small Business set-aside IDIQ (October 17, 2025, through October 16, 2030)—a multi-billion-dollar governmentwide vehicle reserved for small businesses across seven functional domains including Management and Advisory, Technical and Engineering, and Research and Development.

Nexight holds four major parent vehicles. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule anchors the majority of Nexight's task-order volume (70 orders, $66.4 million combined potential value), spanning regulatory support, communications, and technical consulting across USDA, NIST, CISA, FDA, and other agencies. The NIST $70 million IDIQ for marketing and strategic analysis (awarded September 1, 2024) has generated four delivery orders through mid-2026, including a $420,920 order for Manufacturing USA stakeholder engagement and outreach (awarded April 8, 2026, through April 7, 2027) and a $1.144 million order for Manufacturing Extension Partnership financial management training development (awarded September 1, 2024, through August 31, 2025). Nexight also holds a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration multiple-award IDIQ under the ProTech 2.0 Oceans Domain vehicle (April 12, 2024, through April 12, 2029) with an $8 billion ceiling for professional and technical services supporting NOAA's oceanic initiatives. A third vehicle is a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for performance management support services ($1.126 million ceiling, September 30, 2024, through September 29, 2026, with two task orders totaling approximately $430,580 as of mid-2026). A fourth is a USDA Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration BPA for administrative and regulatory record review services ($1.5 million ceiling, September 20, 2024, through September 1, 2026). Representative recent delivery orders outside the major IDVs include a $2.07 million FDA order for regenerative medicine standards coordination (awarded August 22, 2024, through September 21, 2027), a $4.73 million NIFA order for management consulting and agency process improvement (awarded September 30, 2023, through September 29, 2028), and an $11.67 million Department of Energy delivery order for advanced manufacturing and decarbonization subject matter expert support (awarded February 28, 2022, through August 27, 2025, with FY2022–2024 invoicing of $9.52 million across 44.3 FTEs and 56,775 contractor hours).

Activity has accelerated in recent years: 9 awards in 2022, 9 in 2023, 24 in 2024, 10 in 2025, and 3 through July 2026. Eight awards (combined potential value $7 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete risk for several regulatory support and workforce development contracts. Service Contract Inventory reporting spans FY2022–FY2024 and shows invoiced federal service revenue of $24.8 million across 31 prime contracts, with FY2024 invoicing of $8.6 million across 24.5 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts median around $119.97/hr, with rates spanning the 10th percentile near zero (likely flat-rate or expired-period reporting artifacts) through the 90th percentile at $403.23/hr. GSA Schedule labor rates run from $60.15/hr for communications analysts (bachelor's, one year experience) through $436.26/hr for executive directors (master's, twenty years experience), with no security-cleared positions offered. Across SCI prime contracts, subcontractors account for an average 5% of contractor hours, with eleven named subcontractors reported cumulatively; Nexight operates predominantly as a self-performing prime rather than a subcontracting-dependent firm.

In its subcontractor role, Nexight delivers technical and engineering support under larger primes. Named sub relationships include The Mitre Corporation (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures and Common Weakness Enumeration support for Department of Homeland Security, awarded May 8, 2024, and April 17, 2025), Energy Technology Alliance LLC (advanced materials and manufacturing technologies support for Department of Energy Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office and Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office, awarded April 25 and April 28, 2025), KBC Energy Solutions LLC (mission execution support for the National Energy Technology Laboratory, awarded September 1, 2023), and Dynamis, Inc. (Air Force Inspection Agency readiness exercise curriculum development and maintenance, awarded May 24 and September 24, 2022). Nexight also subcontracts to Celeen LLC for Department of Homeland Security security programs and strategic planning (awarded November 28, 2022). Federal grant work includes a National Science Foundation cooperative agreement for natural hazards engineering research infrastructure decadal visioning ($233,430, awarded August 15, 2022, through July 31, 2024, to examine research directions and infrastructure needs FY2026–2035), and an NSF project grant for Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation roadmapping planning and facilitation (awarded March 1, 2024, through August 31, 2024). Nexight's capability framing across all vehicles emphasizes writing and editing support, stakeholder engagement, workforce and educational development coordination, regulatory process support, standards development facilitation, performance management and strategic planning, and subject matter expertise across energy, manufacturing, and emerging technologies. The company's federal footprint demonstrates sustained customer relationships across multiple contract vehicles and fiscal years, with particular strength in NIST, USDA, FDA, and CISA accounts, and growing scale across time-and-materials and firm-fixed-price delivery orders.
