10 Trending Vendor Profiles on G2X | September 1, 2026

Ten vendor profiles drawing attention in the G2X GovCon Directory, with company identity, capabilities, and current first-party context.

AI claims dominate the federal messaging across this group, though the framing differs sharply by company. SAIC says IDC MarketScape named it a worldwide leader in AI services for national civilian government and a leader in AI services for U.S. defense and intelligence agencies in its 2025 assessments. MetaPhase, a ServiceNow Elite Partner, is leading with ChallengeAI, which it calls smart, secure, mission-ready AI. Salesforce fronts Agentforce and a Government Cloud built to meet FedRAMP requirements. GDIT sells artificial intelligence alongside full-spectrum cyber and secure software development.

The rest of the set is a useful corrective. Epoch Concepts, a service-disabled veteran-owned reseller founded and led by former military personnel, assembles turnkey technology for customers including the Defense Health Agency and the Missile Defense Agency. Lockheed Martin's page here covers special operations logistics, maintenance, and sustainment. Acumen and Mathematica both sell analysis, one working health care and social policy programs for government agencies, the other connecting data, technology, and policy expertise for organizations that need decisions to survive implementation.

1. METAPHASE CONSULTING LLC

MetaPhase works the federal transformation market from the process side as much as the technology side, offering advisory services meant to help federal leaders navigate complex programs, launch initiatives, and drive enterprise change, with teams that weigh people, process, technology, and data together. The company is a ServiceNow Elite Partner and builds customized enterprise-wide digital workflow solutions for federal agencies. Its current front-page push is ChallengeAI, positioned as smart, secure, mission-ready AI, under the company's Bring Us Your Challenge banner. MetaPhase also promotes a run of workplace and growth recognitions: four Virginia Business Best Places to Work wins from 2021 through 2024, three Washington Post Top Places to Work wins from 2022 through 2024, and three Financial Times fastest-growing-company listings from 2021 through 2023.

2. GENERAL DYNAMICS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

General Dynamics Information Technology shortens its incorporated name, General Dynamics Information Technology Inc., for everyday use, including here. The company organizes its federal work around mission outcomes: smart government technology behind citizen-facing services, what it calls the battlespace of the future, security and experience at physical and digital borders, and homeland missions spanning intelligence and disaster response. Its capability set leads with full-spectrum cyber, artificial intelligence and data, secure software development built around user needs, and a portfolio of packaged mission solutions. GDIT markets all of it under the line America's invisible advantage, with the claim that better, faster government services have to be built.

3. SAIC

SAIC is the name Science Applications International Corporation carries in the market and on this record. The company's federal portfolio runs across mission IT, enterprise IT, engineering services, and professional services, and its current messaging leans hard on artificial intelligence. SAIC says IDC MarketScape named it a worldwide leader in AI services for national civilian government and a leader in AI services for U.S. defense and intelligence agencies in 2025 vendor assessments. Elsewhere it makes the case for secure multi-cloud to federal civilian agencies, promotes AI-driven tools to simplify claims processing and speed benefit delivery, and pitches data-driven interoperability for coordinated action across warfighting domains.

4. EPOCH CONCEPTS LLC

Epoch Concepts sells technology into government as a value-added reseller, and its pitch rests on understanding procurement, compliance requirements, and security assurances as much as the products themselves. The service-disabled veteran-owned small business was founded and is led by former military personnel and solutions architects. It designs and implements tailored, turnkey solutions with leading industry vendors, either standalone or integrated with systems an agency already runs, and carries the work from initial consultation through full deployment. Its government page lists experience with the Air National Guard, the Defense Health Agency, the intelligence community, and the Missile Defense Agency. A downloadable line card holds the vendor detail.

5. SALESFORCE, INC

Salesforce aims its public sector business at Government Cloud, which it says is designed to meet FedRAMP compliance requirements, and at Agentforce for public sector service work. The sales argument is operational: deflect case volume to self-service and digital channels, automate administrative tasks, and give staff an integrated view of case data with AI-powered automation. The company advertises a 70 percent reduction in call volume, a 20 percent increase in worker efficiency, and a 104 percent return on IT investment for agency customers. Salesforce also says it was named a Leader in the 2026 Forrester Wave for Public Sector Cloud Solutions.

The Program Executive Office of the Special Operations Forces Support Activity oversees it, and Lockheed Martin says it runs day-to-day operations covering global supply chain parts, warehouses and depots, aircraft, vehicle and equipment repair and modification, and critical infrastructure support and business process transformation. Lockheed Martin frames the arrangement with PEO SOFSA as on-demand, depot-like service for SOCOM components and other government organizations supporting SOCOM missions worldwide.

10. APPLIED RESEARCH INSTITUTE

The Applied Research Institute belongs to the University of Virginia, which is why this record carries RECTOR & VISITORS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA as the public-record name. UVA has described the institute as a channel for defense agencies to reach researchers across a range of university disciplines on cyber security, big data analytics, biometrics, logistics, transportation systems, economics, and other technical and operational problems facing the military, along with executive education for military and civilian leaders. Joan Bienvenue directed the institute at the time of that account.
