What FSA Federal does

FSA Federal (legal entity Forfeiture Support Associates, LLC) is a private professional services firm founded in 2003/2004 that delivers administrative, legal, investigative, and analytical support to U.S. federal law enforcement and homeland security agencies. Operations are organized around a portfolio of core capabilities — Records Management, Administrative Support, Legal & Litigation Support, Program & Operations Management, Investigative & Audit Support — and around mission-oriented services including Asset Forfeiture Program Support, Financial Investigations, Illegal Pharmaceutical Diversion, Financial Litigation, and Language Translation. The underlying delivery model relies on credentialed personnel (over 100 retired federal investigators, more than 40 barred attorneys, over 300 certified paralegals, plus CPAs and Certified Fraud Examiners) working on-site at approximately 490 government worksites covering all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, with particularly deep coverage of the 94 U.S. Attorney's Offices nationwide.

The company serves primary customers across the U.S. Department of Justice (DEA, FBI, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Attorney Offices, Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys), the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (USCIS, CBP, Border Patrol), the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and INTERPOL. Service delivery is anchored by two contract vehicles: the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (Contract Number GS-07F-0412V), which makes pre-negotiated rates available to federal, state, and local agencies, and the Asset Forfeiture Program support contract covering all 14 participating agencies and spanning 32 labor categories from records examiner to financial analysis and legal support. Quality management is certified to ISO 9001:2015.

FSA Federal is a joint venture owned by Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC) and Amentum, with the Board of Directors comprising representatives from both parents. Leadership includes President & CEO George Mendiola Jr. (since 2017, prior leadership of a $500M+ sector at Engility) and four operational VPs covering Operations (former DEA senior management), Finance & Accounting (prior Amentum and GE), People/Talent/Systems (Chief Ethics Officer, joined 2005), and Strategic Initiatives (28-year DEA veteran). The company is headquartered at 2553 Dulles View Drive, Suite 450, Herndon, Virginia, with no public ticker, no disclosed funding history, no disclosed revenue, and no merger, acquisition, or restructuring activity recorded in the available data.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Booz Allen Hamilton: Major federal consulting and professional services prime with substantial DOJ, DHS, and law enforcement support work. Comparable mission space but delivered through a much larger consulting platform.
• Leidos: Large federal services prime with deep DOJ and DHS portfolios spanning IT, professional services, and investigations support. Broad incumbent that competes for task orders where FSA plays but at significantly greater scale.
• CACI International: Federal IT and professional services prime competing across DOJ, DHS, and intelligence missions. Overlaps with FSA on cleared investigations, litigation support, and records management task orders.
• Peraton: Federal services prime formed from the Perspecta/Hewlett Packard Enterprise services assets, serving homeland security, justice, and intelligence missions. A scaled alternative for law enforcement and homeland security professional services work.
• Maximus: Government services firm operating large-scale federal citizen-services and program-support contracts. Less direct overlap in investigations, but comparable in operating model as an embedded workforce contractor for federal civilian agencies.

Direct peers

• Guidehouse: Management consultancy with a significant federal practice serving DOJ, DHS, and Treasury on financial-crimes, anti-money-laundering, and asset recovery programs — direct functional overlap with FSAs financial investigation work.
• ICF International: Public consulting firm with a federal practice spanning DOJ and DHS advisory, financial investigations support, and program management. Closely comparable in customer base and mission-support orientation.
• Amentum: FSAs other JV parent and a major federal/international services contractor. Provides the same parent-backed contracting advantages SAIC does and competes for overlapping DOJ and DHS task orders, making it the second most direct comparable.
• SAIC: One of FSAs two JV parents and itself a top-tier federal professional services prime. Direct overlap in DOJ, DHS, and intelligence community support, with comparable cleared workforces and contract-vehicles — making it both a parent and the most direct strategic peer.
• CALIBRE Systems: Mid-sized federal professional services firm focused on asset management, financial analysis, and program support for DOJ, DHS, and DOD. Closest pure-play comparison to FSAs asset forfeiture and financial investigation footprint.
