Award counts and obligations are both scoped to NAICS 541715 only — not a company’s total federal portfolio, and not a claim that the underlying work matches this code’s title beyond what the code itself covers. Companies are resolved to the platform’s own production family-root spine, and an identical registered name appearing under two legal registrations is merged into one row — a small number of near-duplicate registrations (a punctuation or naming variation the spine has not yet linked) may still appear separately. A set-aside badge renders ONLY when the company’s OWN current federal registration confirms it holds that status today; an unconfirmed status is never displayed. Designation badges are never a size determination this platform makes.

Dollars Are Not the Same as Capability
Rankings show who wins the dollars. What each company can actually do is inside.

This page ranks NAICS 541715 the way the federal government’s own records break it down: total obligations under this one code, summed across the last five completed fiscal years — never a contract ceiling, and never a claim about who does the best work. It does not, and cannot, tell you whether a company can actually run this kind of engagement, who they’ve done that work for, or how they’d fit on a team next to you.

That read takes more than a NAICS code: demonstrated capabilities pulled from these companies’ own contract descriptions and performance work statements, their customer relationships, every filter by revenue division and certification, and a full profile for anyone on this page.

Plus the labor rates behind the prices, the Other Transactions most tools never touch, and buying-office intelligence behind every customer.

That’s the data we put at your fingertips.

This ranking is pulled directly from the government’s own federal award records, current through August 2026. Rank changes, new entrants, and companies that drop off are never hidden or smoothed over.
