CoreOnyx

What CoreOnyx does

CoreOnyx is a privately held, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) headquartered in Reston, Virginia, that provides digital transformation and enterprise IT services to U.S. federal and state government agencies. Founded in 2018 and operating with 51-100 employees, the company delivers modernization of legacy systems, cloud-native platform development, AI/ML integration, and managed services to civilian agencies including the Social Security Administration (SSA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of the Interior (DOI), Department of Transportation (DOT), Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Export-Import Bank (EXIM). Its work spans FedRAMP-secure cloud engineering, DevSecOps pipelines, full-stack development, UX modernization, and data integration across agency platforms that together power more than 3.5 billion citizen web transactions annually.

The company's technology stack is cloud-first and built on partnerships with AWS (Select Tier Services Partner), Microsoft, Google, Adobe, ServiceNow, Acquia, and Cloudflare, with FedRAMP-secure cloud environments and CDN performance (Cloudflare delivers 97% of SSA.gov traffic). Its proprietary assets include the MissionIQ five-pillar delivery framework, the patent-pending CERTAIN-T methodology, and QURii — an enterprise intelligence platform launched in January 2026 for AI-driven decision support with controlled/governed AI capabilities. QURii targets enterprise intelligence, RFP and acquisition triage, and human-in-the-loop AI orchestration, and the company cites AI capability types including generative AI, knowledge retrieval, process automation (RPA), and autonomous-agent-style governed operating system features. AI/ML is delivered through integration with third-party model providers (OpenAI, AWS, Google) rather than proprietary in-house models.

CoreOnyx generates revenue through government contract vehicles including the GSA IT70 Schedule (GS-35F-294GA), OASIS+ (Small Business and SDVOSB tracks), and agency-specific BPAs with SSA, DOI, DOJ, and EXIM. Pricing is established through federal competitive procurement and is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market combines direct federal field sales with channel partners (Carahsoft, CDW) and technology partners (AWS, ServiceNow, Adobe, Microsoft) for solution delivery, targeting both prime contracts and subcontractor roles in the government IT services market.
