The Gordian Group, Inc.

The Gordian Group, Inc., doing business as The Gordian Associates, is a for-profit provider of construction cost estimating software, facility condition assessment services, and building intelligence solutions that operates as a prime contractor on 99% of recent awards across 74 federal agencies. The company competes in full-and-open environments without set-aside designations; no awards carry minority-owned, women-owned, 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB designations.

Headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, The Gordian Group is a parent entity with two subsidiaries—R.S. Means Company LLC and 4Clicks Solutions, LLC—that collectively deliver RSMeans Online construction cost data, eGordian and CostWorks estimating software, and facility condition assessment capabilities. The company's platform portfolio also includes the VFA Capital Planning Database and 4Clicks Project Estimator, grounded in primary NAICS codes around software publishers and computer-related services (NAICS 511210, 541512).

FEMA dominates The Gordian Group's federal footprint, accounting for 104 awards and $37.1 million of the combined $79.9 million potential value across the full 302-award portfolio. The Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), Department of the Army Installation Management Command regional offices (Southeast and Pacific), and USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) round out the top five customers by potential value. Across these agencies, The Gordian Group's work splits between two distinct capability streams: RSMeans software licensing and facility condition assessment services.

Under FEMA's $12.1 million Indefinite Delivery Contract (70FA3021D00000001), awarded April 12, 2026, The Gordian Group has issued 104 task orders valued at $8.5 million combined potential for RSMeans Online, CostWorks, and related cost estimating subscriptions supporting public assistance and disaster recovery operations. Representative orders include a $1.057 million delivery order (April 14, 2026) for RSMeans Construction Cost Estimating Software licenses at FEMA headquarters, a $721 thousand order (February 17, 2025) for RSMeans enterprise licenses across FEMA headquarters and regional offices, and $478 thousand and $455 thousand delivery orders (September 27, 2024 and September 27, 2023, respectively) for RSMeans Online licenses supporting Puerto Rico disaster recovery under multiple hurricane declarations. The FEMA IDIQ includes task orders ranging from $3 thousand to over $1 million, demonstrating FEMA's sustained demand for cost estimating capabilities across regions and disaster recovery phases.

APHIS operates a $3 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (established May 3, 2023, running through May 2, 2028) under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule through which the company has issued 27 task orders totaling over $884 thousand for facility condition assessments at critical APHIS locations. Representative facility condition assessment contracts include $96.4 thousand (APHIS Modernization and Administrative Building campus, Greenville, SC), $78.4 thousand (National Center for Plant Protection, Laurel, MD), $77.3 thousand (National Veterinary Services Laboratory, Ames, IA), and $72.4 thousand (National Wildlife Research Center, Fort Collins, CO), with performance extending across domestic and international sites including Puerto Rico and Mexico. The company also holds a $21.6 million GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (47QTCA24D006Z, valid through March 25, 2029) through its 4Clicks Solutions subsidiary, from which it places both RSMeans software delivery orders and facility assessment work orders across federal civilian and defense agencies.

Beyond FEMA and APHIS, The Gordian Group delivers RSMeans subscriptions to NASA ($645 thousand, five-year FEDRAMP-authorized cloud platform base plus two one-year options, April 2026), the National Nuclear Security Administration ($5.5 million builder infrastructure management and cost data support, May 2024), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (multiple RSMeans subscription awards totaling $492 thousand to $711 thousand, with four-year and five-year periods), the Department of Defense Southeast Region ($980 thousand eGordian subscription services base year plus ACWS migration, September 2021, with one-year options through September 2026), the Social Security Administration (multiple Tririga Facility Condition Strategic Planning contracts totaling $88 thousand to $706 thousand annually), Naval Facilities Engineering Command (training and software renewal orders), and the Naval Sea Systems Command (RSMeans software maintenance and licensing).

Activity has grown steadily: 26 awards in 2022 to 49 in 2023, declining to 41 in 2024, then recovering to 46 in 2025, with 28 awards through September 2026. Fifty-two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $5.2 million, representing moderate recompete exposure dominated by FEMA and APHIS renewal cycles. The company obligated $41 million (51% of combined potential value) across all awards, indicating strong cash conversion on recent procurements.

GSA Schedule labor rates reflect a consulting and project management posture: IT Facility Service Consultant roles span $163.46 to $257.58 per hour for positions requiring bachelor's degrees and ten to fifteen years of experience, with no security clearance requirements specified. This labor portfolio supports the company's facility assessment and software implementation service delivery.

Subcontract exposure is minimal (2 sub-awards, <1% of total): Amentum Technology, Inc. engaged The Gordian Group for RSMeans renewal under a Missile Defense Agency IT services management contract (December 2025), and Fluor Marine Propulsion engaged The Gordian Group for RSMeans annual subscription and sub-license incorporation under the Naval Nuclear Laboratory operations contract (August 2024). The company's federal strategy centers on prime contracting through established IDIQ and BPA vehicles rather than subcontract pathways.
