What Quaestor Federal Consulting does

Quaestor Federal Consulting is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) founded in 2011/2012 by Phil Oakley, a former Army intelligence officer with 22 years of military service. Headquartered in Lorton, Virginia, with 11-50 employees, the firm provides consulting, program management, and technology solutions to U.S. federal government agencies, with a primary focus on the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community. The company reports $200M+ in products and solutions delivered cumulatively over its 14-year history, with 750+ contract wins annually and a 75%+ RFQ win rate. Its leadership team includes former senior government officials, including a former CIA Deputy Director/CTO and a former State Department Deputy CIO, providing deep clearance-holding expertise and federal contracting relationships.

Quaestor Federal's core service portfolio is organized around four capabilities: Data & Analytics (securely accessing, integrating, and visualizing data across multiple sources), Systems Integration (connecting disparate technologies and platforms into mission-ready systems), Agile Business Practices (applying Agile methods to federal project delivery), and Program Management. The company operates as a value-added reseller and integration partner for major technology vendors including Palantir, IBM, Dell, Apptio, Aspera, Pixia, and Isilon, holding the #1 federal reseller position with several of these platforms for multiple years. In November 2025, Quaestor expanded into secure communications through the Sekur National Security Team partnership, offering SekurMail, SekurMessenger, SekurVPN, and SekurVoice to federal, state, and local government agencies.

The business model is anchored on winning federal government contracts through direct bidding, set-aside procurement (a privilege of SDVOSB certification), and partner-driven channel relationships. Revenue is generated through professional services delivery, systems integration, and technology resale, with a Low-paid organic growth posture and no institutional funding rounds or M&A activity disclosed. The customer base is concentrated in U.S. federal government agencies, with named clients including the U.S. Army, NGA, the Department of State, Fort Huachuca, and various national security organizations.
