What clearAvenue does

clearAvenue is a private systems integration company headquartered in Columbia, United States, founded in 2002. The firm provides software development, maintenance, and applied artificial intelligence and machine learning services to U.S. federal government agencies. Its sole documented customer segment is federal agencies, with positioning centered on addressing technical capability gaps in AI/ML for mission-focused federal use cases. The company operates with 51-100 employees and reaches customers through an enterprise field sales motion consistent with federal procurement practices. Pricing and specific contract vehicles are not publicly disclosed, and no named product modules or platform architecture are identified in the available data — the offering appears to be services-led rather than product-led.

On 9 October 2025, clearAvenue was acquired by Xcelerate Solutions, a strategic operating company backed by McNally Capital. The transaction was part of Xcelerate's broader strategic expansion into AI/ML capability delivery for federal clients, alongside two other acquisitions financed by McNally. Following the acquisition, clearAvenue operates as a subsidiary of Xcelerate Solutions, integrating its AI/ML and software development capability into the parent's federal portfolio. No pre-acquisition financial data, management team details, certifications, or specific federal contract vehicles are disclosed in the available sources.

Direct peers

• Booz Allen Hamilton: Booz Allen Hamilton is the largest pure-play federal AI/analytics and consulting firm, serving DoD and intelligence clients with AI/ML implementation capabilities closely aligned to ClearAvenue's federal AI/ML value proposition. Direct competitor on task orders where AI talent and past performance drive award decisions.

Broad incumbents

• CACI International: CACI is a major federal IT services and solutions integrator with national-security and intelligence-customer AI/ML-relevant work. Competitor on federal prime contracts and on subcontractor flow for AI/ML delivery capability.
• ManTech International: ManTech is a federal IT and technology services firm focused on defense, intelligence, and federal civilian agencies with growing AI/ML and data analytics practices. Comparable federal IT integrator serving overlapping customer missions.

Overlap on federal AI/ML systems integration work; tends to compete on larger vehicles while ClearAvenue targets mid-tier task orders.
