Saliense Consulting LLC

Saliense Consulting LLC, doing business as Saliense, is an Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) and SBA 8(a) Program Participant headquartered in McLean, Virginia, that delivers cybersecurity, IT security compliance, data analytics, and enterprise transformation services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). The company is minority-owned (Subcontinent Asian American) and operates as a for-profit limited liability company with two named subsidiaries: Synergist JV2 LLC and Synergist JV LLC, both structured as joint ventures.

Saliense's customer base splits sharply between award volume and dollar concentration. Federal Emergency Management Agency dominates volume—28 awards and $49.1 million in combined potential value across FEMA's IT section and broader operations—but that represents only 67% of the award count. By potential value, the portfolio is anchored by two massive IDVs: NASA SEWP VI (two awards, $40 billion combined ceiling) and a USDA Office of the Chief Information Officer BPA ($1 billion). The Department of Commerce's U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research, and the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency round out the top five by dollars, collectively carrying $235.5 million in combined potential value across seven awards. Saliense serves 22 distinct federal agencies.

Saliense holds four core vehicle positions that anchor its federal footprint. Three GSA OASIS+ indefinite-delivery contracts, each carrying a multi-billion-dollar ceiling and expiring in 2024–2029, cover Total Small Business, Competitive 8(a), and Woman-Owned Small Business set-asides across seven functional domains including management and advisory, technical and engineering, and research and development. The company also sits on NASA's SEWP VI GWAC (awarded November 1, 2026, $20 billion ceiling through October 31, 2036, multiple award for IT solutions across all federal agencies) under both Total Small Business and Partial Small Business tracks. A December 2025 award under the Missile Defense Agency's Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ gives Saliense access to a $151 billion vehicle for multi-domain defense research, prototyping, cybersecurity, and modernization through December 2035. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule anchors the bulk of near-term execution: 83 task orders and $1.38 billion in combined potential value, with recent awards including a $41.3 million IS&P support delivery order for GSA's Compliance Division, a $33.9 million IT security services order for the U.S. Marshals Service, and a $24.7 million cybersecurity risk management framework services order for USPTO.

Beyond the GSA Schedule, Saliense's recent representative prime work includes a $62.8 million cybersecurity and privacy support delivery order from USPTO (awarded September 22, 2025, Total Small Business set-aside, placed on the GSA Schedule); a $14.04 million analytical infrastructure governance support task order from CISA under the GSA Schedule for time-and-materials work supporting the Sector Management division (awarded September 30, 2024, with $2.9 million invoiced and 9.7 FTEs deployed in FY2025 at $143.67/hr blended rate); a $4.5 million IT application development support contract from the Office of Naval Research (awarded March 13, 2025, 8(a) Sole Source, with Option Period I exercised); a $3.9 million operational and maintenance support contract from the Army Medical Command for the Army Recovery Care System (awarded September 17, 2025, 8(a) Sole Source); and a $3.488 million information technology support services purchase order from ACC Redstone to the Letterkenny Army Depot (awarded October 25, 2025, 8(a) Sole Source, with completion April 24, 2027). A $2.353 million CISA operational model transformation task order (awarded September 30, 2026, under OASIS+ WOSB) demonstrates recent momentum. Most recently, Saliense received seats on the NASA SEWP VI GWAC (November 1, 2026) and the USDA CPOC Cybersecurity Support Services BPA ($1 billion, September 21, 2026).

Activity trajectory shows volatility in recent years: 16 awards in 2022, declining to 11 in 2023, 7 in 2024, recovering to 8 in 2025, with 4 awards recorded in the source window through 2026. Nine awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, with combined potential value of $116.4 million—representing material recompete exposure for Saliense and recompete opportunity for competitors.

SCI-reported service-contract invoicing on prime contracts reached $112.3 million cumulatively across FY2022–FY2025, with an upward trend: $16.8 million in FY2022 (63 FTEs), $25.4 million in FY2023 (94 FTEs), $35.5 million in FY2024 (143 FTEs), and $34.6 million in FY2025 (140 FTEs). On federal service contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates ran around $128.28/hr, with the 10th percentile at $99.59/hr and the 90th percentile at $172.55/hr. GSA Schedule labor rates span entry-level configuration management roles at $52.90/hr through senior cloud management positions at $270.64/hr, with mid-career project managers and subject matter experts running $132–$172/hr. Subcontractors performed approximately 33 percent of contractor hours across SCI-reportable prime contracts, with 80 named subcontractors engaged, indicating material subcontractor reliance for delivery—a blended delivery model rather than pure captive staffing.

The top NAICS categories across the portfolio cluster around Custom Computer Programming Services (39 awards) and Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (11 awards), with secondary exposure in Ship Building and Repairing (4 awards), reflecting diverse agency needs and the broad scope of OASIS+ and SEWP VI vehicles. PSC codes align with IT security and compliance as a service (20 awards) and IT security compliance support labor (14 awards), confirming core capability positioning in cybersecurity, IT security, data analytics, and federal IT compliance—the concrete deliverables driving Saliense's federal contracting presence.
