What Concept Solutions, LLC does

Concept Solutions, LLC is a privately held federal information technology contractor founded in 1999 and headquartered in Reston, Virginia. The company delivers mission-critical IT services to U.S. federal agencies — primarily the FAA, FBI, NOAA, and U.S. Navy — covering software development and modernization, cloud and infrastructure optimization, cybersecurity, data science and analytics, unmanned aircraft systems integration, program management, and digital transformation. All work is contracted through government acquisition vehicles; Concept Solutions holds positions on eight or more major federal contracts, including GSA OASIS+, FBI ITSSS-2, FAA ITIPSS, FAA SETIS, FAA eFAST, NOAA NMITS, Navy SeaPort NxG, and GSA MAS, with vehicle expirations extending to 2032-2034. Pricing is determined at the task-order level based on negotiated labor categories and scope, with revenue mechanics characteristic of professional services rather than product sales.

Concept Solutions' proprietary technology asset is AvenGIS, a web-based geospatial intelligence platform currently deployed by the FAA and NAV CANADA for aviation surveillance, special activity airspace analysis, airport surface monitoring, drone detection, and altitude reservation planning. The platform integrates with FAA's NAS SWIM real-time feed and existing GIS systems. The company also operates the CS Innovation Hub, a self-funded internal R&D environment with specialized labs in AI/ML, DevOps, GIS, and automation, used both for employee development and customer pilots. The company is CMMI Level 3 certified in development and aligns its security and cloud work to NIST CSF, CDM, Zero Trust, and DevSecOps frameworks.

The business is founder-owned and operated, with all three co-founders (Phong Mai as CEO, John Krahulec as COO, and Todd Schaberg as CIO) remaining in active executive roles. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional capital, and headcount sits in the 101-250 range. The customer base is concentrated in U.S. federal agencies but spans four major departments and one international civil aviation customer; go-to-market is sales-led and capture-driven rather than channel-based, leveraging dedicated business development leadership and contract vehicle incumbency.

• SAIC: Federal IT services prime with broad DoD, intelligence, and civilian agency portfolio; competes on shared contract vehicles (SeaPort NxG, OASIS+) and similar software modernization / cloud / cybersecurity service offerings.
• ManTech International: Federal IT services firm serving DoD, intelligence, and federal civilian agencies with software development, cybersecurity, and mission systems work — closely aligned with Concept Solutions' federal IT services portfolio.
• CACI International: Federal IT and engineering services prime with strong DoD and intelligence customer base; competes on the same contract vehicles and offers overlapping software development, cloud, and cybersecurity capabilities.
• ICF International: Mid-sized federal IT and management consulting firm with comparable federal civilian, aviation, and energy clients; similar employee scale and overlapping service offerings in modernization, cloud, and analytics.
• Vectrus: Mid-sized federal services contractor with DoD and federal civilian exposure; comparable scale and competing on shared contract vehicles for IT, program management, and engineering services.
• Engility: Federal IT and engineering services firm (now part of SAIC) that competed directly with Concept Solutions on DoD and civilian agency task orders at similar scale prior to its acquisition.

Broad incumbents

• Booz Allen Hamilton: Largest pure-play federal IT and management consulting firm; competes broadly across FAA, FBI, DoD, and civilian agencies with a much larger scale and broader portfolio than Concept Solutions.

Others

• Esri: Dominant GIS platform provider whose ArcGIS technology underpins most federal geospatial workflows; AvenGIS integrates with Esri-compatible systems, making Esri both a potential partner and indirect competitor in geospatial aviation tooling.
