Riva Solutions Inc.

Riva Solutions Inc., a minority-owned, 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business based in McLean, Virginia, operates as a federal prime contractor delivering web development, IT modernization, systems integration, and administrative support services to civilian agencies across more than 50 federal customers. The company competes predominantly under 8(a) set-aside vehicles and full-and-open competition, with 334 prime awards (100% of recent federal activity) spanning indefinite-delivery contracts, blanket purchase agreements, and delivery orders.

Riva's customer concentration is diffuse across civilian IT buyers. The top five customers by award count account for 60% of recent awards, led by the Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration Technical Center (74 awards, $32.3 million combined potential value), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (42 awards, $5.72 billion), and the Department of Agriculture's Office of the Chief Information Officer (41 awards, $69.5 million). By dollar magnitude, however, the profile shifts sharply: GSA's Federal Acquisition Service anchors $50.2 billion of the $90.03 billion combined potential value across just five awards—Riva's position on OASIS+ Unrestricted and related GWACs, and Naval Sea Systems Command adds another $10 billion across three awards. Civilian civilian agencies dominate Riva's customer set; military and defense exposure is limited. Riva holds a seat on the 8(a) STARS III GWAC, the CIO-SP3 Small Business GWAC, the $60 million NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory IT Support Services BPA (single-award, through August 2027), the eFAST BPA under the FAA (through September 2029), and the OASIS+ Unrestricted GWAC (through December 2029). On the Multiple Award Schedule, Riva operates 178 task orders (potential value $640.6 million), the primary vehicle for delivery orders with agencies including NOAA (IT support for research laboratories in Boulder, Colorado), USDA (Drupal web development for enterprise platforms), and the Patent and Trademark Office (case management systems and personnel services). The OCIO IT Support Services IDIQ carries 20 task orders ($29.2 million combined potential value).

Recent capability examples ground Riva's execution across its customer base. In August 2026, NOAA awarded a $9.9 million delivery order for COASTWATCH/OCEANWATCH/POLARWATCH program operations and science support (time-and-materials, competitive 8(a), through July 2029). In June 2026, NOAA issued a $5.5 million BPA call for NWAVE/ESRL IT support (time-and-materials, through December 2027). In February 2026, the Treasury Department's Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources awarded a $16.3 million BPA call for financial systems operations and modernization (firm fixed price, competitive 8(a), through February 2031). In September 2024, the Patent and Trademark Office issued a $30.7 million delivery order for P-TACTS (Patent Trial and Appeals Case Tracking System) operations, maintenance, and modernization (labor-hours, partial small business set-aside, through June 2028). In July 2024, the FAA issued a $4.1 million 8(a) sole-source BPA call for IT support at the Technical Center (labor-hours, through March 2027). These contracts reflect Riva's repeated positioning as a go-to contractor for federal civilian IT infrastructure modernization, case management systems, web platform operations, and administrative support.

Activity has declined from 56 awards in 2022 to seven in 2026 year-to-date; the 28 awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $141 million and face recompete. This recompete exposure is material—the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory BPA ($60 million ceiling), the eFAST BPA ($1 billion ceiling), and dozens of USDA and Commerce BPA calls represent recurring revenue sources now at contract-end.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue across federal services contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $171.4 million over FY2022–FY2024: $54.8 million in FY2022 (437 FTEs), $60.9 million in FY2023 (376 FTEs), and $55.8 million in FY2024 (690 FTEs). The FTE surge in FY2024 reflects expanded delivery on high-volume contracts, particularly NOAA research-lab IT support and FAA administrative services. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Riva paid government hourly rates with a median of $94.03 per hour, ranging from $32.52 (10th percentile, administrative support) to $160.82 (90th percentile, IT engineering and modernization roles). Subcontractors performed 34 percent of contractor hours across Riva's prime contracts, with 144 named subs engaged; the company self-performs core IT architecture and web development and layers subcontractors for administrative support and labor-intensive delivery.

On the GSA Schedule, Riva carries 299 active labor categories spanning administrative roles at $23.62 per hour through senior cloud architects at $287.37 per hour, with no security-cleared offerings. Representative mid-range categories include business analysts ($89.87/hr, bachelor's, four years experience), project managers ($112.88/hr, bachelor's, ten years experience), and cloud IT security specialists ($135.86/hr, bachelor's, two years experience).

Riva's teaming footprint is minimal: the company operates almost exclusively as a prime, with one disclosed sub award (September 2023, under Dawson Solutions for professional support services). This self-performance posture reflects Riva's strategy to control delivery on core IT modernization and web development work while sourcing labor-intensive administrative and operations support through named subcontractors under its own prime contracts rather than flowing upward as a sub to larger primes.
