Obverse Inc.

Obverse Inc., a DC-based minority-owned and self-certified small disadvantaged business, operates as a prime contractor delivering administrative management consulting, program support services, and IT professional services to federal civilian agencies, with negligible subcontracting exposure (98% prime, 2% sub). The company is a Black American-owned, DOT-certified DBE Subchapter S corporation founded in 2002, holding ISO 9001:2015, CMMI Level 3, and CMMC L1 certifications.

Obverse's customer concentration runs heavily to the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration, which accounts for 23 awards ($10 million combined potential value) — approximately 52% of the 44-award footprint documented in the source. The Department of Agriculture Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights anchors the dollar ranking with 2 awards worth $11.3 million combined potential value, followed by USDA's Office of Operations (7 awards, $5.1 million), the Department of the Army Medical Command (2 awards, $2.1 million), and the DOL Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management (1 award, $1.8 million). These five customer nodes cover 94% of combined potential value across $32.1 million in total award footprint. The gap between award-count concentration (DOL ETA leading on volume) and dollar concentration (USDA ASCR leading on value) reflects Obverse's embedded position on the DOL IDIQ vehicle — 18 of Obverse's task orders sit under Indefinite Delivery Contract DOLJ091A20988 with a combined potential value of $4.9 million. Obverse also holds a GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract (ceiling $475,000, awarded July 2022, completion July 2027), through which it offers 27 labor categories spanning technical assistance, technology adoption, telecommunications engineering, database administration, systems engineering, and subject matter expertise, with hourly rates ranging from $30.20 to $189.88 and requiring a bachelor's degree minimum but no security clearance.

Obverse's award portfolio by NAICS emphasizes Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (30 of 44 awards), with subordinate activity in Custom Computer Programming Services, IT-related services, and Janitorial Services (3 awards). PSC concentration parallels this: 27 of 44 awards fall under Support–Professional: Other, with smaller groupings in Program Management Support, Housekeeping, and Legal Support. Recent activity is sparse in the source data — one sub-award surfaced in November 2025 as a Booz Allen Hamilton subcontractor delivering enterprise application modernization and cloud migration services.

The Service Contract Inventory dataset shows four SCI records spanning FY2022–FY2024: two as prime, two as named subcontractor. Prime SCI invoicing registered zero dollars across both fiscal years; FTE reporting shows 869 FTEs across all records in FY2024 (1 prime, 1 sub), a significant spike from 10.4 FTEs in FY2022. The low SCI invoicing despite high FTE count suggests either that Obverse's larger prime awards fall below the SCI $150,000 reporting threshold, sit in excluded categories (goods, classified, micro-purchases), or were performed in fiscal years outside the SCI window. On prime SCI contracts, Obverse carried 0% of hours to subcontractors, indicating internal delivery.
