As we enter 2025, Federal IT & Consulting firms face unprecedented competition in a rapidly evolving marketplace. A new administration brings fresh priorities, and the pace of technology innovation is accelerating. Change is not just expected; it’s guaranteed. In this environment, the 2025 OrangeSlices Vanguard FedCiv 250 spotlights the most successful firms with a proven track record of not only securing federal contracts but excelling in the fiercely competitive federal sector.

 

Kick off 2025 with us on January 13 for the Vanguard FedCiv 250, a premier event that highlights the most impactful IT and consulting firms shaping federal missions. This gathering will feature dynamic panels with Acquisition Leaders, Federal CTOs, and industry disruptors, sharing insights on emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities for FY25. Together, we’ll explore strategies to enhance service to U.S. citizens, veterans, and communities nationwide.
