BD Squared LLC

What BD Squared LLC does

BD Squared LLC is a Tysons, Virginia-based federal contract vehicle consultancy founded in 2017 by Brian Friel. The firm helps federal contracting companies win major GWAC (Government-Wide Acquisition Contract) and IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity) vehicles, and subsequently win more task orders on those vehicles. Its core offering, "Vehicle Services," provides opportunity forecasting, opportunity analysis and tracking, teaming support, and proposal development with compliance procedures, covering approximately 14 best-in-class federal vehicles including MAS, Alliant 3, OASIS+, Polaris, MDA SHIELD, SeaPort-NxG, 8A STARS III, VETS 2, HCATS, FBI ITSSS-2, DLA JETS 2.0, RS3, SBEAS, and CIO-SP3 SB. A dedicated OASIS+ Phase 2 service helps clients identify biddable domains and develop winning proposals.

The company applies what it describes as a "big data" approach to federal contract opportunity analysis, leveraging founder Brian Friel's two decades of experience analyzing federal contracts, opportunities, and budget data — including pioneering IDIQ contract vehicle coverage at Bloomberg Government. Strategic Advisor Stephanie Mitchell brings direct DoD acquisition experience from DISA and multiple government contractors. Client outcomes are the primary proof point: nearly $7 billion in task orders won by clients over the past five years on supported vehicles, and 300+ domains won on OASIS+ Phase 2.

BD Squared operates a sales-led, professional services model. It is a privately held, founder-owned LLC with 13 employees and no disclosed external funding. Services are delivered through bespoke SOWs engaged via direct email outreach and website inquiry forms. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm operates exclusively in the U.S. federal market, targeting enterprise-scale federal contractors pursuing both DoD and civilian agency vehicles. No AI/ML capabilities, patents, partnerships, acquisitions, or third-party integrations are disclosed in the source material.
