ABOUT US

Built by Veterans. Driven by Mission. Enabled by Tech.

GovXcel is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) delivering technology-driven solutions that empower government missions. We specialize in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, cloud transformation, and workforce modernization—led by veterans, built for impact, and structured for performance.

We believe service doesn’t end when the uniform comes off. It evolves.

Our Mission

To empower government agencies through veteran-led, technology-enabled teams that deliver measurable outcomes in cybersecurity, AI, cloud modernization, and workforce innovation.

Our Vision

To become the most trusted and impactful SDVOSB in the nation — known for our innovation, discipline, and relentless commitment to mission success.

Our Story

Born from firsthand experience in both public service and private sector innovation, GovXcel was created to bridge a critical gap: the disconnect between federal modernization initiatives and the ability to execute with precision, speed, and trust.

We saw agencies struggling to modernize. We saw prime contractors searching for SDVOSB partners who could actually deliver. So we built something different:

Teams with names, not numbers
Outcomes, not hours
Veterans, not temps
Technology, not templates

GovXcel exists to be more than a checkbox — we are your execution partner for mission-critical transformation.

Our Core Values

Service

Mission-first, always.

Excellence

We set elite standards and surpass them.

Innovation

We don’t follow trends; we lead transformation.

Integrity

We do what’s right, not what’s easy.

Impact

We measure success by what improves, not just what gets done.
