What Gunnison does

Gunnison Consulting Group, Inc., founded in 1994 and headquartered in McLean, Virginia, is a venture capital-backed federal IT services contractor with 194 employees serving exclusively U.S. federal government agencies. The company operates across four primary customer segments — Health & Civilian, Defense, National Security, and Legislative — with named engagements at HHS, CDC, FDA, NIH, SAMHSA, U.S. Department of State, Interior, Treasury, Education, Census Bureau, USPTO, USDA, ICE, U.S. Marine Corps, Navy, DISA, OSD, DLA, NRC, NGA, Library of Congress, U.S. House of Representatives, AOUSC, and CFPB. Long-term client partnerships average 10+ years, and the firm maintains 30+ years of continuous federal delivery history through wholly owned subsidiaries CENTERPOINT (acquired February 2022) and G2SF (acquired November 2020).

Gunnison's delivery is organized around three service pillars — Cybersecurity, Digital Services, and Intelligence & Automation — supported by proprietary accelerators including the Gunnison AI Platform (GAIP), the Gunnison Cyberagility Framework (GCF), and the TIGR Lab innovation center. The CyberFusion Platform, launched in March 2026 through a flagship co-development with BMC Helix, applies Agentic AI to unify asset-centric cyber and IT operations for federal zero-trust mandates. Specialized solutions include the GUPS open-source GIS application for the Census Bureau (used across multiple decennial cycles), the LiMA system that processed hundreds of millions of census records up to 30x faster than legacy systems, and BMC Remedy ITSM support for the U.S. Marine Corps. Certifications include CMMI-DEV ML3, ISO 9001:2015, ISO/IEC 20000-1, and ISO/IEC 27001.

Gunnison generates revenue exclusively through federal procurement vehicles — GSA MAS, NITAAC CIO-SP3, AOUSC JITS, DOS CSS BPA, GLINDA BPA, Navy Seaport-NxG, NGA CRMA, ED CPSS, and U.S. Census Bureau ESF SE&I — under BPAs, IDIQs, and task orders with disclosed ceilings ranging from approximately $10M to $502M. Pricing is determined by government procurement processes and is not publicly disclosed. The company is private, has no public ticker, and is led by CEO Gil Dussek (appointed December 2019) with a board including former SRA International CEO Renny DiPentima, former IBM Global Public Sector head Anne Altman, and former Novetta CFO Rich Sawchak.
