What Xpect does

Xpect Solutions LLC is a Fairfax, Virginia-based federal systems integrator founded in 2004 that delivers enterprise IT, cybersecurity, digital transformation, and data analytics / AI services to U.S. federal law enforcement, health, civilian, and defense agencies. The company is anchored by two long-tenured customer relationships — the Federal Bureau of Investigation since 2004 and the National Institutes of Health since 2017 — and supports additional federal customers including the Department of Justice, the International Trade Administration, and Redstone Arsenal. Xpect's technology stack spans enterprise network architecture and engineering, Zero Trust cybersecurity, secure cloud services, AI/ML-enabled data analytics, physical security systems integration, and live-mission modernization using parallel environments with DevSecOps automation. It supports the FBI's data and communications networks for approximately 42,000 users on a 24x7x365 basis and operates multi-site NIH physical security BPAs through October 2028.

The company is organized around four integrated capability pillars — Enterprise Security & IT Solutions, Digital Transformation, Data/Analysis/AI Solutions, and Cybersecurity — with the cybersecurity pillar materially expanded in October 2025 through a dedicated practice led by a new Director of Cyber Programs. In January 2025, Xpect acquired GovDefender, adding digital transformation, secure web/mobile/application development, and secure digital media intake capabilities. Xpect generates revenue through federal prime contracts (EIACSS BPA, FBI NMU/NOC, FBI NEU, NIH BPAs), subcontract/teaming arrangements with federal primes such as NES Associates and the MIL Corporation, and recurring managed services including 24x7x365 network and physical security operations; contract pricing is set through federal acquisition regulation procurement rather than public rate cards.

Following its October 2024 acquisition by NewSpring Holdings (a ~$3.5B AUM private equity firm), Xpect is positioned as the third active platform within the NewSpring Federal Platform alongside BCore and C Speed. Leadership was restructured: Yusuf Abdul-Salaam (ex-ECS Federal, ex-DHA Group) became CEO, Amaha Tsegaye (ex-DHA Group, ex-ECS Federal) became COO, founder Ash Halim transitioned from CEO to President, and former 25-year FBI veteran Thomas Sobocinski joined the Board of Directors. The company maintains a CMMI Maturity Level 3 appraisal (re-issued in 2024) and operates offices in Fairfax, VA (headquarters), Washington, DC, and Huntsville, AL, with a federal-only geographic footprint across the Northeast, Southeast, and Idaho.

Core offering

Xpect Solutions is a federal systems integrator that designs, implements, and manages enterprise-wide IT, electronic and physical security, digital transformation, and data/AI capabilities for U.S. federal law enforcement and civilian agencies. The company delivers its offering through four integrated capability pillars — Enterprise Security & IT Solutions, Digital Transformation, Data/Analysis/AI Solutions, and Cybersecurity — executed via prime contracts, Blanket Purchase Agreements, and subcontracting arrangements. Its GovDefender subsidiary (acquired January 2025) extends the offering into secure digital media intake and application modernization for federal law enforcement customers.

Product overview

Xpect Solutions operates as a single federal-systems-integrator platform organized around four core capability pillars — Enterprise Security & IT Solutions, Digital Transformation, Data/Analysis/AI Solutions, and Cybersecurity — that are designed to work together to modernize legacy systems, secure critical information, and achieve efficiency for federal law enforcement and national security agencies. The Cybersecurity pillar was significantly expanded in October 2025 through a dedicated practice led by a Director of Cyber Programs, and is explicitly positioned as fully integrated with the other three pillars rather than a standalone offering. GovDefender, acquired in January 2025, operates as a sub-brand adding digital transformation, systems modernization, and web/mobile/application development capabilities (including secure digital media intake solutions) on top of the core platform.

Expansion highlights7 records

Broad incumbents

• SAIC: Large federal IT modernization, cyber, and engineering services integrator serving defense, intel, and civilian agencies including FBI and NIH. Competes for many of the same vehicles and task orders as Xpect, though at much larger scale and contract value.
• Peraton: Federal IT, cyber, and mission solutions provider serving intelligence, defense, and civilian agencies including law enforcement. Comparable in mission focus (cyber, network operations, intel analytics) though substantially larger and broader than Xpect.
• Booz Allen Hamilton: Major federal consulting and IT services firm with deep law enforcement and federal civilian practices (FBI, DOJ, NIH work). Provides overlapping cyber, data/AI, and digital transformation capabilities but as part of a much broader portfolio.
• Leidos: Large diversified federal IT, cyber, and engineering services prime contractor with significant FBI, DOJ, and civilian agency work. Broad incumbent that competes for the same federal vehicles but at materially larger scale, and as a prime rather than subcontractor on most programs.
• ManTech (now Constellation Brands Federal): Federal IT and cyber services provider with strong FBI and law enforcement customer base. Closely comparable in mission focus (network operations, cyber, IT modernization for federal law enforcement) though at much larger scale following Constellation acquisition.

Direct peers

• Unison Technologies: Smaller federal IT and engineering services firm supporting defense, intel, and civilian agencies. Comparable in scale and federal customer focus; competes for similar IT professional services and cybersecurity task orders.
• Rigil Corporation: Small federal IT and management consulting firm focused on government services across civilian and defense agencies. Comparable scale and federal services delivery model to Xpect; competes for similar IT modernization and program support awards.
• NES Associates: Federal IT services and systems integration company that is itself a current Xpect teaming partner on FBI Enterprise Operations Center work. Comparable in size and federal-customer base; overlapping IT professional services, network administration, and help desk capabilities.
• IntelliBridge: Mid-size federal IT and cyber services company serving intelligence, defense, and civilian agencies. Comparable in scale and federal-customer mix to Xpect; competes for similar IT modernization, cyber, and data analytics task orders.
• ECS Federal: Mid-size federal IT and cyber systems integrator with deep law enforcement and civilian agency customer base. Most directly comparable peer because Xpect's CEO (Yusuf Abdul-Salaam) and COO (Amaha Tsegaye) previously led DHA Group, which was sold to ECS Federal — and both held President/integration roles at ECS. Similar customer footprint, scale, and federal services delivery model.
