Phia LLC

Phia LLC, a minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in West Linn, Oregon, delivers cybersecurity operations, program management, and IT modernization services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (62% of recent awards) and subcontractor under multiple vehicle platforms, competing predominantly in full-and-open and small-business set-aside procurements without a designated 8(a) certification despite holding seats on competitive 8(a) vehicles.

Phia's customer footprint concentrates heavily on the Department of Homeland Security ecosystem. Across 26 total awards, DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) dominates award count with 11 awards valued at $34.3 million combined potential value, while the GSA Federal Acquisition Service ranks first by potential value at $50 billion (driven entirely by the newly awarded SHIELD IDIQ). The Department of the Interior CIO and the Department of the Treasury round out the active set. The split between volume and dollars creates a dual customer strategy: CISA represents recurring operational cybersecurity work; GSA vehicles enable government-wide distribution capability.

Phia holds seats on three major acquisition vehicles that define its competitive footprint. The SHIELD IDIQ (Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense), awarded December 29, 2025, by the Missile Defense Agency carries a $151 billion ceiling through December 2035 and covers defense R&D, prototyping, systems engineering, and modernization across air, missile, space, and cyber domains — the initial delivery order is valued at five hundred dollars with performance in Huntsville, Alabama. The OASIS+ Small Business set-aside IDIQ (ceiling $999,999,999,999, awarded December 19, 2024, through December 2029) enables Phia to compete for integrated professional services across all federal civilian agencies. The 8(a) STARS III GWAC (ceiling $50 billion, awarded February 23, 2022, expiring July 1, 2026) provides another government-wide vehicle with competitive 8(a) set-aside framing. Additionally, Phia operates under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and holds a $136 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Office of the Chief Information Officer's Cybersecurity Division, which has generated two task orders valued at $27.1 million and $10.1 million respectively for SIEM and ICAM support services performed in Fairfax, Virginia, running through February 2030.

Phia's concrete capability portfolio centers on cybersecurity operations and infrastructure. Recent prime work includes a $31 million time-and-materials delivery order awarded March 29, 2024, under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule to CISA for program management and technical assistance on cybersecurity strategies, policies, and special projects through March 2028; a $27.1 million total-small-business BPA call awarded February 28, 2024, for cybersecurity operations tools support; and a $10.1 million total-small-business BPA call for SIEM and ICAM technical services. An earlier $3.3 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract with CISA (awarded September 29, 2023, closed September 28, 2024) covered strategic operations, communications, project management, and operational intelligence within CISA's Information Operations Division. Work spans both program and technical labor — the GSA Schedule labor portfolio lists 38 active categories ranging from Digital Forensics Analyst ($82.96/hr) through expert-level roles (SME II at $336.59/hr, master's degree and 15 years experience), with no security clearance required for listed positions.

Phia's activity has accelerated in the past three years — two awards in 2020, zero in 2021, one in 2022, then three in 2023, five in 2024, and six in 2025 — with the SHIELD and OASIS+ awards arriving in the final months of 2024 and December 2025. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $31 million), indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. On Service Contract Inventory records, Phia reported $7.9 million in prime invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $1 million over 3.5 FTEs; FY2023: $645 thousand over 2.6 FTEs; FY2024: $6.2 million over 17.6 FTEs), indicating FY2024 scaling on federal services work above the $150,000 reporting threshold. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid rates ran a median of $145.08/hr with the 90th percentile at $195.42/hr, reflecting mid-career professional-services pricing; subcontractors performed an average 19% of hours on prime contracts, with seven named subcontractors reported.

Phia operates primarily as a prime builder on its own delivery teams but engages subcontractors selectively. Across ten sub awards (38% of recent awards), Phia subcontracts to ECS Federal, LLC (three TESS and IGF awards from August and July 2025 for technical engineering support labor and systems-design services) and Ironclad Technology Services LLC (two awards from March and June 2025 for help-desk support and IT services). The corporate structure includes a subsidiary, Fides Strategies LLC, designated as a self-certified small disadvantaged business operating as a limited liability company.
