There are no disclosed institutional investors, parent companies, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or M&A activity. The company is founder-led by Tejash Patel (CISSP), who built the firm on early-career cybersecurity relationships with federal clients.

Broad incumbents

• Leidos: Largest pure-play federal IT services prime; sets the bar on prime contractual scope, cybersecurity, and data analytics for civilian agencies including SSA-adjacent programs.
• ICF International: Public professional services firm with deep federal civilian practice spanning IT modernization, cybersecurity consulting, and data analytics for agencies such as HHS, SSA, and FEMA — directly comparable service mix.
• SAIC: Large public federal IT services prime with deep civilian and defense footprint; competing for SSA and adjacent civilian work and typically serving as the prime under whom smaller firms like TAYS subcontract.
• ManTech International: Public federal IT and cybersecurity services prime with a heavy civilian and intelligence footprint; an established sub-or-prime competitor for the same SSA and adjacent agency work TAYS targets.
• Booz Allen Hamilton: Largest federal IT and cyber consulting incumbent with significant SSA and federal civilian work; sets the rate/sub-flow landscape that TAYS competes within as a sub or teammate.

Direct peers

• CALIBRE Systems: Mid-size, privately held federal management consulting and IT services firm serving defense and civilian agencies with similar size, domain specialization, and reliance on contract vehicles.
• MAXIMUS: Public federal services and technology firm with one of the largest SSA engagements in the market. Closest analogue on revenue mix, customer concentration, and IT modernization/bpo services to federal health and benefits agencies.
• Agile Defense: Mid-size federal IT services and cybersecurity provider to DoD and civilian agencies; comparable size, capability stack (software engineering, data analytics, cyber), and small-business contracting posture.
