• Tambellini Group: Tambellini Group is a K-12 and higher education advisory and research firm providing technology and strategic advisory services to educational institutions. Directly comparable in education vertical focus, and was itself acquired by MGT in 2025, indicating product overlap.

Broad incumbents

• MAXIMUS: MAXIMUS is a large, publicly traded government services and consulting firm serving state and federal agencies, including significant education and human services work. Comparable in vertical focus but materially larger and broader than MGT.
• Guidehouse: Guidehouse (formerly PwC's public sector practice) is a major advisory firm serving US state, local, and federal government clients across health, education, and civilian agencies. Overlaps with MGT's government advisory footprint but operates at substantially greater scale.
• ICF International: ICF is a public-sector-heavy consulting and digital services firm with deep state and federal government relationships in education, health, and infrastructure. Comparable business model and customer base to MGT, but much larger and publicly traded.
• CGI Federal: CGI Federal delivers IT and management consulting to US federal, state, and local government clients, with significant education and grants-management work. Comparable in vertical and service mix to MGT but operates as part of a much larger global IT services firm.
