Sokat Consulting LLC

Sokat Consulting LLC, doing business as Sokat, is a woman-owned, minority-owned, SBA 8(a) certified small business based in Baltimore, Maryland that delivers artificial intelligence engineering, workforce development training, and cloud technology solutions to federal civilian and defense agencies primarily as a prime contractor (92% of recent awards). The vendor competes across 8(a) set-asides, Total Small Business set-asides, and full-and-open vehicles; recent activity shows concentration in 8(a) Sole Source and Competitive 8(a) procurements, with a marked shift toward Total Small Business set-aside activity in 2025–2026.

Sokat's award footprint spans six federal agencies, led by the GSA Federal Acquisition Service and the Department of the Treasury Departmental Offices, though the concentration is heavily skewed by vehicle ceilings rather than obligated value. GSA accounts for $50 billion in combined potential value (nearly all from the 8(a) STARS III GWAC awarded February 2022), while Treasury Departmental Offices holds $173.9 million across a $118 million Technical Workforce Development and Training BPA awarded April 2026 and a $50.3 million AI-powered Coding Assistant Tools indefinite-delivery contract awarded September 2025. The Office of the Secretary of Defense contributes $498 million in combined potential value across two vehicles — a $249 million Test and Evaluation BPA for the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center awarded January 2022 and a $249 million Basic Ordering Agreement for AI Talent 2.0 services awarded April 2025. Obligated dollars are minimal ($7.5 million across all awards, or less than 0.02% of combined potential value), reflecting that most vehicles remain early in task order issuance.

Recent capability work illustrates Sokat's shifting focus from IT modernization to workforce development and AI tooling. A $5.1 million delivery order under Treasury's AI Coding Assistant Tools contract (awarded September 2025, completing September 2026) supplies artificial intelligence coding and chat tools with GPT-4-comparable performance, FISMA Moderate/High compliance, and usage-based licensing for approximately ten thousand software seats annually. Treasury's $118 million Technical Workforce Development BPA (awarded April 2026) funds six-month and twelve-month technical training curricula covering AI engineering, with performance in Baltimore and Woodstock, Maryland. The Department of the Interior issued a $552,360 BPA call under the same Treasury vehicle in May 2026 for artificial intelligence engineer workforce development extending through May 2027. An earlier $650,000 Definitive Contract from the Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center (March 2022–April 2023, now completed) delivered the Sokat Suicidal Ideation Engine (SSIE), a specialized decision-support tool developed under 8(a) Sole Source terms.

Sokat holds positions on multiple vehicles spanning civilian and defense procurement. The 8(a) STARS III GWAC (GSA, $50 billion ceiling, multiple award, expired July 2026 in the source date) enabled an $8.3 million delivery order from the Department of the Interior for AI coding and chat tools. The Multiple Award Schedule hosts six task orders ($121.3 million combined potential value) supporting workforce development, Solutions Lab support services, and AI tooling. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $2.6 million), reducing recompete exposure relative to the vendor's five-year IDV runway.

GSA labor-rate data reflects Sokat's staffing model: forty-four active labor categories span business intelligence analysis, systems analysis, quality assurance engineering, software development, cloud DevOps engineering, and subject matter expertise at rates from $83.63/hr (Business Intelligence Analyst I with bachelor's degree and one year experience) through $329.30/hr (Subject Matter Expert IV with twelve years experience). No security-cleared roles are offered on the GSA Schedule. Service Contract Inventory reporting shows zero invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2025 on SCI-reportable prime contracts, with FTE headcount rising modestly from zero FTEs in FY2022–FY2023 to 5.1 FTEs across prime and sub roles in FY2025 — a signal that work is either pre-revenue (task orders not yet invoiced), early-stage delivery, or reflected in non-SCI-reportable contract types (products, goods, classified). Sokat subcontracts as a named sub on a Deloitte Enterprise Measurement and Configuration Services engagement (January 2024) and operates with zero sub-engagement hours on its own prime contracts, indicating delivery-team execution by direct hire rather than sub-reliance.
