Riva Solutions Inc.

Riva Solutions Inc., a minority-owned 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business based in McLean, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) delivering web development, IT modernization, systems integration, and administrative support services to civilian federal agencies across 55 distinct customer organizations. The firm is a Subchapter S corporation with Subcontinent Asian American ownership and competes predominantly under 8(a) and small-business set-asides, though it also pursues full-and-open competition on larger vehicles like the OASIS+ Unrestricted GWAC and the Electronic FAA Accelerated and Simplified Tasks (eFAST) BPA.

Riva's customer concentration is divided between sustained high-volume relationships and a handful of dollar-anchor contracts. The top five agencies account for 59% of awards by count: the FAA Technical Center leads at 74 awards valued at $32.3 million (mostly sub-$500 thousand delivery orders for administrative and secretarial support at Atlantic City, New Jersey); the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration follows with 44 awards worth $5.73 billion (dominated by time-and-materials IT support for research laboratories in Boulder, Colorado); USDA's Office of the Chief Information Officer holds 41 awards at $69.5 million (primarily Drupal-based web development and platform operations on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule); the US Patent and Trademark Office accounts for 24 awards valued at $2.06 billion; and the FAA Headquarters contributes 19 awards worth $1.02 billion. By dollar potential value, the distribution tilts sharply toward the GSA Federal Acquisition Service ($50.2 billion across 5 awards — a placeholder ceiling on the OASIS+ Unrestricted vehicle awarded December 2024) and NOAA ($5.73 billion), with the Patent and Trademark Office, FAA Headquarters, and the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration rounding out the dollar-driven top five. The concentration signals: Riva operates sustained operational-support relationships with mid-sized civilian agencies (FAA, NOAA, USDA) but derives most of its potential-value exposure from government-wide vehicles (OASIS+, STARS III, CIO-SP3 Small Business) rather than single-customer IDIQs.

Riva's vehicle position spans GSA Schedules, large federal GWACs, and agency-specific IDIQs. The Multiple Award Schedule anchors task-order execution with 183 orders worth $650.2 million combined potential value; work includes recurring time-and-materials IT support contracts with NOAA (a single $60 million BPA for NWAVE and ESRL operations running through August 2027), Drupal web-development calls with USDA, and web-support orders across civilian agencies. The OASIS+ Unrestricted GWAC (awarded December 17, 2024, with a placeholder $999.999 trillion ceiling through December 16, 2029) positions Riva for task orders across civilian agencies on IT modernization, systems integration, and web development without set-aside restriction. Riva holds the eFAST BPA with the FAA (ceiling $1 billion through September 2029), which has funded an $4.08 million labor-hours task order for technical-center IT support. The OCIO IT SUPPORT SERVICES IDIQ (technically under the Office of the Secretary, Department of Defense [Civilian], with a Total Small Business set-aside, $76.8 million ceiling through August 2028) has generated 22 task orders worth $35.7 million, spanning supply-chain risk assessment, AI center-of-excellence support for the International Trade Administration, and CATTS data-services work. A $175 million NIH Business and Professional Support Services III IDIQ (awarded July 19, 2022, through August 12, 2026) procures business and professional support across HHS and other federal customers. Riva also holds an NSF single-award Airtable no-code-application IDIQ ($4.5 million ceiling through July 2027, with five delivery orders issued to date totaling approximately $438.7 million — indicating option exercise or ceiling amendment activity).

Riva's recent activity shows a declining trajectory. Awards per year fell from 57 in 2022 to 14 in 2026 (first 10 months), with year-over-year drops in 2023 (20 awards), 2024 (28 awards, a partial recovery), 2025 (18 awards), and 2026. This decline coincides with a sharp recompete cliff: 24 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next 24 months carry combined potential value of $118.7 million, creating near-term recompete exposure across multiple vehicles and customer relationships. The combined potential value across all 343 awards is $90.05 billion (dominated by the OASIS+ placeholder ceiling), but only $465.5 million is obligated (1% of potential value), indicating substantial headroom on existing vehicles but limited near-term cash burn and execution velocity.

Riva's SCI-reported federal service-contract activity reflects a labor-intensive delivery model. Across FY2022–FY2025, Riva invoiced $216.5 million on prime SCI-reportable contracts: $54.8 million in FY2022 (437 FTEs), $60.9 million in FY2023 (376 FTEs), $55.8 million in FY2024 (690 FTEs — a peak year), and $45.1 million in FY2025 (238 FTEs — a 47% year-over-year decline in both revenue and headcount). Median government-paid hourly rates across SCI records run $95.07 per hour, with a 10th percentile of $33.10/hr (administrative roles) and a 90th percentile of $160.44/hr (senior IT and systems-integration positions). Subcontractors perform an average of 33% of contractor hours across Riva's prime contracts, with 181 named subcontractors engaged, indicating a blended delivery model in which Riva self-performs mid-level technical and administrative work while subcontracting specialized or overflow labor. The FY2025 FTE collapse (238 FTEs, down from 690 in FY2024) suggests either contract closeout, delayed invoicing, or reduced task-order activity in the early-2026 period captured in the source.

Riva holds active GSA Schedule labor rates across 299 categories spanning $23.62/hr for clerical positions (high school, 2 years' experience) to $287.37/hr for senior cloud IT consultants (bachelor's, 8 years' experience). The portfolio covers web designers, business analysts, project managers, cloud-infrastructure engineers, and IT security specialists, with no security-cleared positions offered. This breadth supports the vendor's core capability set in web modernization, application development, systems integration, and IT operations—work reflected in the composition of top NAICS codes (Document Preparation Services 93 awards, Custom Computer Programming Services 85 awards, Other Computer Related Services 43 awards) and PSC categories (Administrative Support/Word Processing 96 awards, IT and Telecom Application Development 54 awards).

Riva operates as subcontractor on a minimal footprint: only 2 sub-awards appear in the source, both awarded in 2022–2023, representing less than 1% of recent awards. One sub-award involved professional support services to the Department of Labor under Dawson Solutions as prime; the other supported the Department of Labor's foreign-labor-certification modernization under Booz Allen Hamilton. This sub posture, combined with the 99% prime-contractor split, indicates Riva builds its own delivery teams and competes for its own prime relationships rather than functioning as a feeder subcontractor to larger integrators.

Activity trajectory and recompete exposure create near-term strategic challenge. The vendor has seen award volume decline from 57 (2022) to 14 (first 10 months of 2026), with FTE footprint collapsing from 690 (FY2024) to 238 (FY2025) on SCI-reportable contracts. The 24 awards completing within 24 months ($118.7 million combined potential value) span multiple vehicles and agencies—including FAA, NOAA, USDA, NRC, and Department of Commerce work—each requiring separate recompete action. The OASIS+ Unrestricted vehicle (awarded December 2024) and the eFAST BPA (current) position Riva for new task orders, but declining annual award counts suggest either competitive loss, customer budget constraints, or reduced scope on existing vehicles rather than strong pipeline momentum.
