What OnPoint does

OnPoint Consulting, Inc. is a privately held, Arlington, Virginia-headquartered federal IT and consulting services firm founded in 1991, operating as the U.S. national security arm of Publicis Sapient (the digital business transformation hub of Publicis Groupe). The company delivers four integrated service lines to U.S. federal agencies: Cybersecurity (24x7x365 security monitoring, incident response, forensics, risk and vulnerability assessment, secure operations center); Enterprise Systems and Implementation Management (requirements analysis, systems development, database administration, data warehousing, business intelligence); Cloud Architecture and Infrastructure Services (enterprise architecture, IT service management, LAN/WAN management, server administration, disaster recovery); and Digital Communications and Strategic Marketing (CX/UI design, brand strategy, content creation, social media, public affairs).

The firm serves Defense & Intelligence (U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army), Energy & Environment (National Nuclear Security Administration, Department of Energy Office of Science), Civilian (Department of State Consular Affairs, Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security), and Health (NIH, NIMH) agencies. OnPoint's technical backbone is composed of cleared personnel, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 20000-1:2018, and ISO 27001:2013 certifications, a CMMI Level 3 rating, and the 2021 James S. Cogswell Outstanding Industrial Security Achievement Award, rather than proprietary software platforms.

Revenue is generated exclusively through federal procurement vehicles (GSA MAS, NIH CIO-SP3, GSA OASIS SB Pool 1, GSA 8(a) STARS III) on time-and-materials or fixed-price task orders, with go-to-market executed via relationship-led business development, industry conference presence (ACT-IAC, DOE), thought leadership content (podcasts, blog), and three SBA-approved mentor-protege joint ventures (MissionPoint, InfoPoint, NuviPoint) that extend capture into 8(a) and sole-source awards.
