What Dexis Consulting Group does

Dexis Consulting Group is a U.S. federal contractor founded in 2001 by CEO Mihir Desai, headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, that delivers security analytics, program management, monitoring & evaluation, and technical advisory services to U.S. government agencies operating in fragile and high-risk environments. It serves as a prime contractor to at least seven federal clients — USAID, Department of State, Department of Defense, CDC, DFC, DOL, DSCA, and HHS — executing work across roughly 75–80 countries, with concentrated long-term presence in Central America, West/East Africa, Central Asia, and the Middle East. Headcount stands at 501–1,000 and total contract value reached three quarters of $1 billion across 45 funded contracts and 30 contract vehicles in 2024.

The firm's portfolio blends staff-augmentation, embedded advisory, and program-delivery engagements delivered through IDIQs (DFC, DOS PMELS II, CDC ITOPSS 4.0, DOD AM&E), GSA schedules (OASIS+ Unrestricted, PSS MAS), and BPAs, often via joint ventures. Distinctive technical assets include the proprietary MIROS-GT migration management system (biometrically linked to DHS IDENT/BDSP), voice-recognition and big-data analytics for criminal network mapping, AI-powered computer-aided detection for chest X-ray TB screening (delivering a measured 30% lift in case identification in Indonesia), and genomic sequencing for drug-resistant TB in Central Asia. Subsidiaries Checchi & Company (rule of law/anti-corruption) and New Century US (law-enforcement training), plus joint ventures GSV (with ZemiTek) and TDX (with TI Verbatim Consulting), extend the addressable market into global health and CBRN defense respectively.

Commercially, Dexis runs a professional services model priced on task-order basis under federal procurement vehicles, with multi-year contract cadence. In December 2023, CM Equity Partners provided growth capital to support a Vision 2030 strategy of expanding into natural disaster recovery, climate, and AI-enabled citizen services. The company was consolidated under the legal entity Dexis Interactive LLC, with the board now including former ICF International CEO Sudhakar Kesavan and three CMEP partners.
