Top Vendors by Category (via FPDS / FPDSplus)

TOP SDVOSB (DHS, last 5 years)

Over the past five years, within the “Other Computer Related Services” category at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Accenture Federal Services LLC has emerged as the clear leader among Other Than Small Businesses (OTSBs). With an impressive total of over $305 million in federal action obligations, Accenture has dominated this space, capturing the overwhelming majority of awarded contract dollars. This level of contract engagement suggests Accenture's deep integration with DHS’s IT infrastructure and its pivotal role in supporting complex technological and digital transformation initiatives. In stark contrast, other vendors have received significantly smaller awards—Highlight Technologies garnered just over $12 million, while BlueWater Federal Solutions followed with around $7 million. 

Remaining vendors, including Sierra Nevada Company, Aurora Systems Consulting, and American Telecom Solutions, received minimal obligations in comparison, ranging from $3.4 million down to less than $50,000. This steep disparity reflects a highly concentrated contracting environment where a single vendor—Accenture—has become the dominant force, leaving limited room for other players in this NAICS category.

TOP VENDORS with $10M to $50M contracts at DHS

Among vendors awarded $10M to $50M prime contracts by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the Other Computer Related Services category, several firms stand out.

Other top performers include Blue Tech Inc., Four Points Technology LLC, and CACI NSS LLC, all with strong federal contracting records. 

Further down the list, firms like Leidos, Govplace, and ITCON Services continue to show competitive engagement with DHS. These vendors represent potential teaming partners with proven capacity in delivering IT and technical services to DHS under mid-sized contract awards.
