XL Associates, Inc.

XL Associates, Inc., doing business as XLA, a Vienna, Virginia-based for-profit government services provider, operates as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) delivering administrative management consulting, program support, and professional services to federal agencies across a multi-billion-dollar footprint on a full-and-open (non-set-aside) basis. The company holds no SBA designations; it competes in unrestricted federal markets and carries a subsidiary structure including X2W Solutions LLC (minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business, Subcontinent Asian American-owned joint venture) and Mid Oasis LLC.

XLA's federal portfolio is anchored by a single dominant customer relationship: the Drug Enforcement Administration represents 154 awards (48% of award count) valued at $223.2 million combined potential value, driven almost entirely through task orders against a $91.95 million single-award BPA (15DDHQ25A00000007) running through February 2030. The BPA provides labor-hour priced professional, technical, and administrative support across DEA functions — financial management, training and international affairs, public affairs, technical operations, personnel staffing, and specialized roles such as seizure specialists, data analysts, and regulatory drafting support. Beyond DEA, XLA's customer concentration is highly dispersed. The National Archives and Records Administration (20 awards, $128.1 million potential value) anchors IT security support services delivered under GSA Multiple Award Schedule delivery orders. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (21 awards, $114.7 million) and the Department of State (multiple bureaus: African Affairs, Democracy Human Rights and Labor, Oceans and Environmental Affairs — combined 112 awards, $43.8 million) round out the top tier. The top-five-customer concentration by dollars is just 3% of combined potential value, reflecting a highly fragmented customer base across 71 distinct federal agencies.

XLA's parent vehicle positions center on the Mission Oriented Business Integrated Services vehicle (700 task orders, $495.1 million combined potential value) and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (136 task orders, $303.8 million). The Professional Services Schedule holds 72 task orders valued at $55.7 million. The DEA single-award BPA generates 27 task orders at $31.6 million. This multi-vehicle posture enables XLA to compete across civilian and law enforcement missions simultaneously. Recent representative work includes $12.55 million for IT security support services to the National Archives and Records Administration (GSA MAS delivery order through September 2030), $3.99 million for field agent professional and technical support to the DEA (labor-hour task order through May 2027), $1.61 million for administrative support to the DEA Office of Finance (through May 2027), and smaller specialized task orders for travel helpdesk support ($794,519), crypto seizure specialists ($607,346), and public affairs support ($1.07 million) — all under the DEA BPA.

Activity has remained flat to slightly declining year over year (12 awards in 2022, 15 in 2025, 15 in 2026 to date), with 22 awards (combined potential value $34.1 million) reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete exposure. SCI-reportable federal service-contract invoicing totaled $59.6 million across FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $18.3 million, FY2023: $25.4 million, FY2024: $15.9 million), with government-paid median hourly rates around $95/hr and a spectrum from $55/hr entry-level administrative roles through $208/hr senior expert positions. The SCI workforce showed a notable spike to 1,691 FTEs in FY2024 (compared to 128–176 FTEs in prior years), signaling either a data reporting change or a material scaling of SCI-reportable deliveries. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for roughly 7% of contractor hours, with 34 named subs — a posture indicating XLA builds most delivery capacity internally rather than relying on sub-tier partners.

XLA's NAICS concentration is overwhelming: 538 of 622 awards fall under Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (NAICS 541611), with smaller segments in computer-related services (29 awards) and professional organizations. Primary Service Classification aligns with this: support-professional program management and support dominates (187 awards), followed by administrative support and contract/procurement/acquisition support. GSA Schedule labor rates span 88 categories from $36.57/hr (Secretary) through $321.86/hr (Senior Executive Associate), with security clearances required across most roles, reflecting the law-enforcement and national-security orientation of the DEA relationship. The company has maintained SAM.gov registration since 2001 and carries a 25-year federal contracting history supporting DEA, DOJ components, NARA, USAID, and FEMA across domestic and international locations.
