What EBSI does

EBSI LLC (legal name Expert Business Systems, LLC) is a Washington, D.C.-based, privately held, minority-owned small business founded in 1999. The company operates three divisions — Management Consulting Services, Accounting and Financial Services, and Information Technology Services — delivering professional services to federal, state, and local government agencies as well as private-sector clients. EBSI holds SBA 8(a), Washington D.C. LSDBE, and Maryland MDOT MBE certifications, and supports programs serving disadvantaged populations including at-risk youth, welfare recipients, and formerly incarcerated individuals through vocational training, career development, and program evaluation work.

The company's core service offerings center on IT professional services (IT strategic planning, capital planning, business process reengineering, system engineering and software development, testing and quality assurance, IT security and certification, network management), contract closeout services, event planning, and workforce development / educational training programs. EBSI delivers through established federal contracting vehicles — GSA Schedule 70 (GS-35F-0547M) with pre-negotiated hourly rates ranging $31.50/hr for administrative support to $225.30/hr for specialized network/systems architects, and GSA 8(a) STARS (GS-06F-0108Z). Past performance includes engagements for U.S. Treasury (STAR system), U.S. Department of Education (Guaranteed Student Loan redesign), PBGC, Criminal Justice Coordination Council (JUSTIS IV), DOL, and commercial clients including MCI, QWEST, Freddie Mac, AMTRAK, and Prudential.

EBSI monetizes primarily through professional services billed on hourly GSA labor categories across federal task orders, supplemented by management consulting and workforce development engagements. The company cites delivery performance of over 20 long-term complex projects completed by October 2007, with 99% delivered on schedule and on budget and over 90% executed as fixed-price contracts. No software product, API, or proprietary technology platform is offered; the business model is labor arbitrage through cleared/credentialed personnel accessing federal procurement vehicles.
