OCT Consulting LLC

OCT Consulting LLC, an SBA 8(a) certified minority-owned (Subcontinent Asian American) small disadvantaged business headquartered in McLean, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor providing acquisition support, program management, contract administration, and IT modernization services to civilian and defense federal agencies across multiple government-wide vehicles and schedule contracts. The firm competes predominantly under 8(a) set-asides and full-and-open vehicles, with 100 percent of recent awards as prime work and no subcontractor engagement reported across SCI-reportable contracts.

OCT Consulting's customer concentration skews heavily toward civilian agencies and a single dominant defense customer. The top five funding sources by potential value account for 98 percent of combined potential value: the National Aeronautics and Space Administration anchors the portfolio with three awards (SEWP VI GWACs and the SHIELD IDIQ) carrying sixty billion dollars in combined potential value, followed by the Naval Sea Systems Command ($3.96 billion across four awards), the Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard ($140.5 million across seven awards), the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration ($18.3 million across two awards), and the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ($17.1 million across eight awards). The top five customers by award count present a different footprint: the Food and Drug Administration leads with fourteen awards ($6.4 million), the GSA Federal Acquisition Service holds ten awards ($2 million), NOAA follows with eight awards ($17.1 million), the Coast Guard holds seven awards ($140.5 million), and the Securities and Exchange Commission accounts for five awards ($6.6 million). The NASA concentration is recent and dominated by SEWP VI (a multiple-award GWAC awarded November 1, 2026, with a twenty billion dollar ceiling through October 31, 2036) and the Missile Defense Agency's SHIELD vehicle (awarded December 29, 2025, with a one hundred fifty-one billion dollar ceiling through December 28, 2035); these two vehicles alone account for most of the company's potential value. Among operating contracts, civilian customers across 39 distinct federal agencies drive daily ordering activity, with acquisition and program-management focus across contract administration, closeout support, and systems engineering roles.

OCT Consulting's parent-vehicle portfolio is anchored by government-wide and agency-specific frames. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule remains the highest-volume active ordering vehicle with forty task orders carrying one hundred sixty-three million eight hundred thousand dollars in combined potential value; the One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services - Small Business (OASIS SB) carries fourteen task orders and one hundred nineteen million one hundred thousand dollars; the OASIS+ Total Small Business vehicle holds three task orders and seven million dollars; and two task orders against an 8(a) STARS III GWAC carry one million three hundred thousand dollars combined. Recent additions include OCT Consulting's December 2024 awards to the OASIS+ Unrestricted (no set-aside, multi-billion-dollar ceiling) and OASIS+ 8(a) (Competitive 8(a) set-aside, multi-billion-dollar ceiling) GWACs, positioning the firm to compete across both set-aside and full-and-open federal agency buys going forward. The SEWP VI GWAC (November 2026, twenty billion dollars) and SHIELD IDIQ (December 2025, one hundred fifty-one billion dollars) open defense-technology modernization and multi-domain defense pipelines.

Recent capability work illustrates OCT Consulting's core delivery model. Representative 2024–2026 awards include a nine million nine hundred eighty-six million dollars delivery order from the Office of the Assistant Administrator (likely State Department) for closeout support contractor services under OASIS SB (Competitive 8(a) set-aside, exercising option period, FY2025 invoiced one million seven hundred thousand dollars across 4.4 FTEs, self-performed); an eleven million nine hundred six million dollars Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency order for systems engineering and technical assistance services under OASIS SB (Competitive 8(a), labor-hour pricing, FY2025 invoiced three million two hundred thousand dollars across 13.4 FTEs, self-performed); a seven million three hundred nine million dollars Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate delivery order for verification and validation closeout support on the OES-CAPS program under OASIS SB (Competitive 8(a), exercising option period two, FY2025 invoiced nine hundred eighty-five thousand dollars across 5.2 FTEs, self-performed); a six million two hundred seventy-one million dollars Bureau of Administration professional services contract (no set-aside used, exercising Option Year 1, firm fixed price); and a three million twenty-five million dollars USDA Agricultural Research Service delivery order for AI infrastructure optimization using lakehouse architecture under MAS (no set-aside, base year plus two option years through March 2029). Earlier work reflects FDA recruitment services, Coast Guard acquisition support, NOAA IT support, and closeout support work across multiple civilian agencies under solo-source 8(a) and competitive 8(a) designations. Activity through FY2025 shows steady volume: fourteen awards in 2023, sixteen in 2024, four reported in 2025, and ten in 2026 (through early November). Ten awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying forty million dollars in combined potential value and exposing the vendor to recompete activity in acquisition support, contract closeout, and program management domains.

SCI-reported invoicing across federal services contracts (a strict subset excluding goods, classified work, and non-federal revenue) totaled twenty-seven million eight hundred thousand dollars in FY2025 across 126 full-time equivalents delivered to the federal government, building from nineteen million three hundred thousand dollars (96.3 FTEs) in FY2022. The SCI dataset shows zero percent subcontractor hours share across prime contracts, indicating OCT Consulting self-performs all reported labor. Median government-paid hourly rates ran around one hundred eleven dollars sixty-four cents per hour, with junior labor pricing from seventy dollars fifteen cents per hour and senior technical roles reaching one hundred seventy-nine dollars six cents per hour. GSA Schedule labor-rate pricing spans from forty-four dollars seventy-four cents per hour (Records Technician) through two hundred eighty-three dollars forty-eight cents per hour (Cyber Subject Matter Expert II), covering 74 unique categories at the associate and bachelor's degree levels with no security-cleared labor offerings.

The vendor's NAICS concentration aligns with its service footprint: administrative management and general management consulting services (43 awards), engineering services (23 awards), computer systems design services (8 awards), ship building and repairing (6 awards, driven by Naval Sea Systems Command SHIELD work), and computer facilities management services (5 awards). PSC coding reinforces the acquisition-and-program-management character, with support professional program management and support (19 awards), management contract and procurement acquisition support (19 awards), and other professional support (16 awards) leading the portfolio. Set-aside posture across primes splits between 8(a) Competitive and 8(a) Sole Source designations on OASIS SB and MAS vehicles, and full-and-open competitive access on OASIS+ Unrestricted, SEWP VI, and SHIELD; this dual posture enables OCT Consulting to pursue both set-aside reserves and larger general-population task orders.
