What C Evans Consulting does

C Evans Consulting (CEC) is a privately held, SBA 8(a)-certified, woman-owned federal consulting firm founded in 2015 and headquartered in Reston, Virginia. The firm provides compliance-ready, security-cleared professionals embedded into federal defense and civilian agencies across four core service lines: Human Capital & Talent Assessment, Acquisition Management, IT Security & Operations, and Program Management. CEC's customer base spans agencies including the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, IRS, TSA, DOJ, FBI, DHS, CISA, CBP, DEA, U.S. Marshals Service, OPM, the Executive Office of the President, and Washington Headquarters Services, as well as Amtrak.

CEC generates revenue through federal service contracts awarded via government-wide acquisition vehicles, including the OASIS+ 8(a), OASIS+ Small Business, and GSA MAS Schedule #47QREA21D000B, supplemented by direct 8(a) sole source awards and teaming arrangements with primes such as Deloitte and Accenture Federal Services. To expand capacity for larger programs, the firm formed the FedWorx Joint Venture with YRCI, an SBA-approved 8(a) Mentor-Protégé structure. The company is founded and led by Cecelia Evans (Founder and President) with a lean internal team (1–10 employees in firmographic data), and it has been Inc. 5000 ranked for seven consecutive years. No proprietary technology platform or software product is identified; the offering is a professional services model emphasizing cleared staff, OPM-aligned HR processes, FAR/DFARS compliance, and NIST-aligned IT support.
