What Concept Plus does

Concept Plus, LLC is a privately held federal IT services firm founded in 2008 and headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, with a secondary office in Arlington, Virginia. The company is an SBA-certified 8(a) small disadvantaged business with CMMI Level 3 and ISO 9001 certifications, providing Oracle solutions, cloud computing, data analytics, AI/ML integration, digital services, health IT, mobile and web development, audits and claims processing, and program management to U.S. Department of Defense, federal health, and federal civilian agencies. Notable clients include the U.S. Air Force (DCAPES, CEMS, WSMIS, MRO training), Defense Health Agency, NIH/NIEHS, SEC, and U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command, with delivery executed through a dense stack of government-wide acquisition contracts including GSA Schedule GS-35F-0264Y, 8(a) STARS III, CIO-SP3 Small Business, Air Force SBEAS, SeaPort-NxG, and the SEC One IT vehicle.

The firm operates a federal services revenue model with revenue earned through professional services arrangements (time-and-materials, cost-plus-fixed-fee, firm-fixed-price) and IDIQ task orders. Its technology stack centers on Oracle (Gold Partner status) with supporting capabilities in cloud (AWS, OCI), Snowflake data analytics, and Microsoft enterprise tooling; the company has begun productizing two proprietary offerings, CP Essential Cloud Console for OCI (ECCO), a SaaS tool for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure cost management, and the Unified Movement & Data Platform (UMDP), a TRL-6 solution for secure edge-to-enterprise data movement in DDIL environments. Concept Plus has scaled through two acquisitions (Dougherty & Associates in 2019, US Information Technologies Corporation in 2022) and a growth investment from Blue Delta Capital Partners in November 2023, and has recently added senior executive leadership recruited from Leidos, Tyto Athene, and the U.S. Air Force.

Headcount stands at 51-100 employees, with the business spanning Defense (primary), Federal Health (primary), and Federal Civilian (primary) segments. Distribution is exclusively domestic through federal procurement channels, with go-to-market executed via relationship-based capture on pre-competed contract vehicles and direct sales to agency program offices; the firm is recognized with multiple industry awards including Washington Technology Fast 50, Inc. 5000, Virginia Fantastic 50, and Air Force Life Cycle Management Center team awards.
