| FY2024 | $20.3 million |
| FY2025 | $27.6 million |
| FY2026 (incomplete) | $24.9 million |
FY2026 ended September 30, and its year-end contract reports and corrections are still arriving, so it's marked incomplete until about early January 2027.
These are every prime contract USAspending.gov records under UEI Q9LAZK8AELW8, from its award search. For a company that is part of a parent company, USAspending's recipient page can show a different figure for a year, because it counts the company's own record and its parent's record separately.

Figures are prime contract obligations reported to USAspending.gov. Subcontract work is listed separately below.
Subcontract work reported by primes
Prime contractors reported 8 subcontracts to it worth about $5.4 million in the last five years, according to USAspending.gov. Primes only have to report subcontracts of $40,000 or more (since October 1, 2025; $30,000 before that), so smaller jobs are missing. Amounts are net of any cuts primes reported. None of this is in the prime contract figures.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Booz Allen Hamilton Inc | Department of Veterans Affairs | 3 | $2.5 million | Apr 25, 2022 |

How to check or correct this record
The file sometimes leaves a certification out, and a newer one won't be in it yet. Self-reported business types are what the firm says about itself on SAM.gov; they aren't SBA certifications. This page doesn't show SBA's VetCert certification for veteran-owned firms; SBA's search below does.
Check or correct this record at the source: open its SAM.gov entry, or search UEI Q9LAZK8AELW8 () in SAM.gov's entity search (free sign-in) and in SBA's Small Business Search (formerly DSBS), which shows SBA certifications including VetCert. The business can update its details in its SAM.gov registration and its certifications at certifications.sba.gov.

Open contracts in Duty First Consulting LLC's NAICS codes
162 open federal opportunities on SAM.gov use one of Duty First Consulting LLC's NAICS codes and may be open to it: no set-aside, or, in the codes it is registered small under, a small business set-aside or one for a status it reports about itself on SAM.gov (service-disabled veteran-owned). Here are a few, those in its primary code first, then those in Virginia, then the soonest due.
Confirm eligibility first. Duty First Consulting LLC's service-disabled veteran-owned status is self-reported on SAM.gov, and this page can't confirm an SBA certification for it, so set-asides for it may be relevant but may not be open to it: SDVOSB and VOSB set-asides need SBA VetCert certification. SBA's Small Business Search shows a firm's current certifications.
