Summary
Xpect Solutions, a Fairfax-based cybersecurity and federal contracting firm majority-owned by private equity platform NewSpring Holdings, has completed its acquisition of Amivero, a Reston-based security company. The deal marks Xpect's second Virginia federal contractor acquisition since NewSpring's initial investment, signaling an aggressive consolidation strategy within the federal services market.
The combined organization will operate with over 450 employees and will provide expanded service reach across federal law enforcement and national security agencies. Both companies service the same customer base, with Amivero earning recognition as one of the D.C. region's fastest-growing companies prior to acquisition. The integration positions the enlarged platform to compete more effectively for prime contracts and government-wide purchasing vehicles.
Xpect Solutions provides Enterprise IT and Security solutions targeting federal civilian agencies and law enforcement. The company has demonstrated execution capability, having previously secured a prime contract on the EIACSS Blanket Purchase Agreement in support of FBI security initiatives. Service capabilities include network engineering, software-defined networking, cloud migration, and security storage solutions. Amivero's addition expands these offerings and consolidates complementary security competencies within a single entity.
The transaction reflects NewSpring's platform-building approach within federal services—a sector characterized by high barriers to entry, sticky customer relationships, and recurring revenue streams. By acquiring multiple regional contractors, NewSpring is constructing a scaled federal services business capable of bidding on larger, more complex government contracts while maintaining the specialized expertise that smaller firms typically leverage for competitive advantage.
