/in /by

KippsDeSanto & Co. is pleased to announce that its client, Omni Federal (“Omni” or “the Company”), has received a strategic investment from Madison Dearborn Partners (MDP), a leading private equity investment firm based in Chicago that has raised aggregate capital of more than $31 billion since 1992.

Omni was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Washington, DC; the Company also maintains a strong presence in other core markets such as Boston, MA, Colorado Springs, CO, San Antonio, TX, and St Louis, MO. The Company provides highly specialized DevSecOps, cloud, cyber, and enterprise software solutions to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC) – these solutions are tailored to government objectives and adapted to both improve mission performance and achieve transformative outcomes across the federal landscape. The Company leverages commercially proven capabilities and technologies,  coupled with a range of innovative software platforms developed within its Omni Labs and Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) innovation centers to deliver transformative experiences for the DoD and IC and their end users.

Omni’s team of more than 250 employees takes a user experience (UX)-focused and mission-driven mindset to improve the technologies utilized by the nation’s Warfighters and intelligence specialists, while empowering end-users to enable their success with simple and effective software solutions. The Company’s highly credentialed workforce leverages the power of DevSecOps, cloud, and cyber solutions, coupled with data analytics, and artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) to increase situational awareness, improve decision making, and enhance national security.

The investment represents a new platform for MDP, affording Omni a partner to support its mission of modernizing the federal government’s legacy mission systems and ensuring security and resiliency in the face of evolving threats. Boasting recent awards on numerous signature programs including the United States Space Force (USSF) Forge C2, National Geospatial Agency (NGA) ODIN II, and Digital University (DU), the Company is positioned for continued growth as the software accelerator for the DoD and IC.

This transaction highlights several key trends in the government technology solutions M&A market:

  • Significant market demand for technology-driven companies providing innovative enterprise software solutions to the federal government;
  • Growing interest in commercially validated technologies suitable for deployment across government customers; and
  • Significant financial sponsor appetite for platform investments across highly differentiated technology providers that navigate the demand for enterprise solutions across multiple departments, agencies, and end markets.
