About Optiv Federal Inc.

Optiv Federal Inc., a cybersecurity and IT solutions provider headquartered in Hanover, Maryland, operates as a prime contractor (72% of recent awards) and subcontractor delivering software licensing, endpoint security, network infrastructure, and IT advisory services to federal agencies on a full-and-open basis with recurring HUBZone set-aside participation. The company is a child entity of Fishnet Security, Inc., with named subsidiaries including FedBiz IT Solutions LLC, Clearshark Services, Inc., and Clearshark LLC.

Optiv Federal's capability footprint centers on enterprise software procurement and licensing across commercial vendors—Red Hat, Palo Alto Networks, CyberArk, Checkmarx, Qualtrics, GitLab, Trellix, Splunk, and others—combined with hardware maintenance, network access control appliances, and cloud-based security services. Representative recent work includes a $3.6 million NOAA delivery order for Red Hat licensing and support to the National Weather Service (awarded April 2026), a $10.5 million Social Security Administration delivery order for Checkmarx SAST software under SEWP V (base plus four option years, HUBZone set-aside, awarded March 2024), a $1.24 million Defense Information Systems Agency delivery order for Palo Alto Networks subscription under SEWP V (September 2025), a $2.85 million Securities and Exchange Commission delivery order for Adobe Enterprise Term License Agreement (July 2021), and a $1.8 million SSA task order for Gurucul Labs managed security and risk analytics service under the Multiple Award Schedule (August 2021). The company also holds a $43.2 million Basic Ordering Agreement with NOAA for Red Hat software and support services, which anchors the majority of NOAA task orders in recent years.

Customer concentration reflects a mix of civilian IT buyers and defense agencies. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 27% of awards: the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (16 awards), NOAA (14 awards, $60.1 million combined potential value), the Smithsonian Institution Office of the Chief Information Officer (9 awards, $469 thousand), SSA (7 awards, $13.3 million), and the Federal Trade Commission (7 awards, $211 thousand). By potential value, the Securities and Exchange Commission dominates at $308.5 million across seven awards, followed by NOAA at $60.1 million, SSA at $13.3 million, and GSA Federal Acquisition Service at $6.9 million—a pronounced divergence from volume concentration, driven by Optiv Federal's position on the SEC's $300 million basic ordering agreement. Optiv Federal sits on the Multiple Award Schedule (38 task orders, $8 million combined potential value), SEWP V (20 task orders, $18.8 million), a NOAA BOA (12 task orders, $16.8 million), Alliant II (19 task orders), and Alliant (8 task orders), positioning the vendor to compete across civilian IT procurements and defense-accessible vehicles.

Activity has grown sharply in the past two years—nine awards in 2022, two in 2023, ten in 2024, 42 in 2025, and 25 to date in 2026—reflecting expansion of task order volume, particularly under SEWP V and NOAA relationships. Recompete exposure is material: 26 awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $27.7 million. The vendor's GSA Multiple Award Schedule labor portfolio spans 15 categories, including Software Architect ($131.40/hr), Database Consultant ($157.32/hr), Cybersecurity Manager ($214.67/hr), Cybersecurity Associate Consultant ($301.02/hr), and Primary IT Consultant ($334.41/hr), all requiring a bachelor's degree with two to eight years of experience and no security clearance; a Forescout Advanced Administrator Course offering is also available at $3,590.93 per student.

As a subcontractor, Optiv Federal partners with primes including Leidos, CACI Inc., General Dynamics Information Technology, Booz Allen Hamilton, General Dynamics Mission Systems, Salient CRGT, Pantexas Deterrence, and CACI NSS—primarily delivering software licenses, maintenance, and IT infrastructure products on enterprise-level IT sustainability, cloud services, and satellite ground-systems contracts. Across the sub portfolio, work includes checkpoint maintenance, cloud products and tools (Microsoft Azure Government and AWS), systems engineering integration, end-user IT support, and MUOS ground system sustainment. Service Contract Inventory data shows minimal SCI-reportable invoicing ($0 across FY2022–FY2024 prime records) and negligible FTE footprint (0.9 FTEs in FY2022, zero thereafter), indicating that most of Optiv Federal's federal revenue flows through software licensing and equipment deliveries rather than labor-intensive service contracts above the SCI threshold.
