What Consensus Solutions does

Consensus Solutions LLC is a privately held federal strategy and management consulting firm founded in 2019 by Sanjay Rajpal and headquartered in Springfield, Virginia within the Washington, DC Metropolitan Region. The firm operates as an SBA 8(a)-certified small business with 11-50 distributed, work-from-home employees, and it sells exclusively to U.S. federal agencies through recognized contract vehicles including GSA OASIS+ (Small Business and 8(a) Set-Aside pools), DOD Navy SeaPort-NxG, and multiple VA vehicles (IHT, T4NG, AVAIL, DHA GSP).

The company's offering comprises thirteen core practice areas spanning the full federal consulting lifecycle: organizational transformation, strategic planning and advisory, performance measurement and improvement, human capital and workforce management, internal operational and IT auditing, federal acquisition modernization, GAO High Risk List strategy and management, instructional design and training, emergency management, and Microsoft Power Platform-based workflow automation and data analytics. Delivery rests on certified professionals holding PMP, PMI-ACP, Green Belt Lean Six Sigma, and Prosci credentials, supported by a Microsoft Power Platform tooling layer for data analytics, dashboarding, and process automation.

The business model is professional-services revenue earned through federal task orders and prime contracts, with no commercial or international exposure. Named federal customers include the SBA Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience, the VA Office of Acquisition and Logistics, the Veterans Health Administration (where Consensus Solutions leads the Human Resources Modernization program serving 360,000+ employees), and the VA Office of Information and Technology Compliance Readiness Directorate. Pricing is quote-based via government procurement, with the SBA 8(a) certification enabling sole-source direct awards in addition to full-and-open competition. The firm has no disclosed external funding, operates as a bootstrapped LLC, and is led by founder-CEO Sanjay Rajpal alongside practice directors Lily Wynne and Ben Leavy.
