Top Vendors by Category (via FPDS / FPDSplus)

TOP OTSBs (DHS, last 5 years)

Over the past five fiscal years, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has directed substantial funding toward large vendors—classified as Other Than Small Businesses (OTSBs)—under the NAICS category for Data Processing, Hosting, and Related Services. Leading the field is Peraton Enterprise Solutions LLC, which secured approximately $167.5 million in total action obligations. Close behind are Manhattan Associates, Inc. with $158.9 million, and IBM (International Business Machines Corporation) with $154 million. Together, these top three vendors account for nearly half a billion dollars in DHS contracts, underscoring their significant role in supporting the agency’s data and technology infrastructure.

Other notable recipients of DHS funding include Knight Point Systems, LLC with $120.4 million, INSERSO Corporation with $83.4 million, Dev Technology Group Inc. with $82 million, and ManTech Advanced Systems International, Inc., which received over $54.6 million. Additional vendors such as Leidos, Inc., Akamai Technologies, and Seyatek LLC each earned between $40–50 million, while the remaining companies—including Guidehouse Digital, Reuters, and Doma Technologies—secured smaller, yet still substantial, awards ranging from $30 million to under $10 million.

This distribution highlights DHS’s strategic investments in experienced, large-scale IT vendors capable of delivering critical data services. While a few companies lead with dominant contract shares, the data also reflects a diverse vendor base contributing to DHS's digital operations and mission-critical capabilities.
