Validatek-Citi, LLC

Validatek-Citi, LLC, a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in McLean, Virginia, provides IT engineering, software development, network services, and technical writing to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor, with no subcontractor footprint. The company is a Subcontinent Asian American-owned limited liability corporation competing across Computer Systems Design Services (NAICS 541512) and related IT service categories, operating on both set-aside and full-and-open vehicles — recent awards split between Competitive 8(a), Total Small Business set-asides, and unrestricted procurements.

Validatek-Citi's customer base concentrates heavily in Department of Homeland Security components and defense IT. The top five funding agencies account for 100% of combined potential value (per the vendor's award portfolio data), led by the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health NITAAC Office of Information Technology Acquisition ($40 billion across 2 awards), the Department of Homeland Security Immediate Office of the Secretary ($22 billion across 1 award), and the Defense Information Systems Agency ($284.3 million across 3 awards). The Coast Guard (7 awards, $60.2 million combined potential value) and DHS Office of the Chief Information Officer (4 awards, $38.5 million) represent the largest operating customer relationships. The $40 billion and $22 billion ceiling values reflect Validatek-Citi's placement on large-ceiling master GWACs rather than executed scope; combined dollars obligated stand at $325.8 million (1% of combined potential value), and recompete exposure totals $267.2 million over the next twenty-four months.

Validatek-Citi operates on two primary vehicles: the Chief Information Officer - Solutions and Partners 3, Small Business (CIO-SP3 SB) GWAC, where 15 task orders carry $388.9 million combined potential value, and the Enterprise Acquisition Gateway for Leading-Edge Solutions II (EAGLS II), where 9 task orders carry $49.3 million. Representative work includes a $9.024 million Competitive 8(a) delivery order with the Coast Guard (awarded July 2022, running through June 2027) for common operational picture support and system administration on the UCOP and GCCS-J platforms; a $2.034 million firm-fixed-price delivery order with the Defense Information Systems Agency for enterprise collaboration services bridge (August 2022 to January 2023); and an $8.604 million time-and-materials definitive contract with the Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs for Q-Flow queue management supplies and IT support services (awarded April 2022, completed September 2024).

SCI-reported invoicing shows $193.6 million across FY2022–FY2025, declining from $53.9 million (152 FTEs) in FY2022 to $45.1 million (128 FTEs) in FY2024 before recovering to $45.4 million (166 FTEs) in FY2025. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates run around $164.78 per hour, with senior labor pricing through $247.69 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors perform an 8% share of total hours, with 18 named subcontractors cited across the portfolio — indicating Validatek-Citi primarily delivers work with its own staff rather than through sub-heavy arrangements. Award volume has remained sparse in recent years (6 awards in 2021, declining to 1 in 2026 captured in source), suggesting either a shift in contracting strategy or a lag in award capture within the portfolio window.
