Steel Point Solutions

What Steel Point Solutions does

Steel Point Solutions, LLC is a privately held government IT consulting firm founded in 2008 and headquartered in Calverton, Maryland, with an operational footprint described as serving clients nationwide. The firm is woman-owned and HUBZone-located, holding SBA 8(a), WOSB/EDWOSB, and WBENC certifications alongside CMMI Level 3 v2.0, ISO 9001/20000-1/27001, and CMMC Registered Provider Organization credentials. It delivers IT consulting, digital transformation, cybersecurity (including GSA HACS SIN services), cloud, analytics, and program management primarily to federal civilian and defense agencies — most notably the U.S. Air Force under a 5-year Blanket Ordering Agreement and DoD/DHA/Federal Healthcare programs — through contract vehicles including GSA MAS, GSA 8(a) STARS III, OASIS+, and the MDA Shield MAC IDIQ.

The company's product portfolio centers on Quantixa, its AI-driven software subsidiary, which powers four GenAI SaaS platforms: Ablefield (compliance and accessibility), Steel Pulse (governance, portfolio and program management), Pulse Planner (strategy and implementation), and Digisteam (agentic automation marketplace). Steel Point's revenue is generated through three streams: professional IT consulting services billed via time-and-materials, labor-hour, and firm-fixed-price arrangements; subscription or usage-based SaaS revenue from the Quantixa-powered platforms; and hardware/software product sales to government clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based through GSA contract vehicles.

Steel Point goes to market primarily through enterprise field sales with direct engagement of federal contracting officers, supported by industry events, INSA membership, and partner channels such as its Blue Steel Partners MAS entity and a VECRA/C3HS joint venture for digital archival services. CEO Likia T. Hawkins leads the company, supported by COO Michael Green (appointed November 2022), a former Navy CIO with 40-plus years of DoD/DHA IT leadership experience. The firm has been recognized with the FY2019 DoD Nunn-Perry Award (jointly with IBM Corporation), the 2023 HIRE Vets Gold Medallion, and EY Entrepreneurial Winning Women (Class of 2022).
