KippsDeSanto & Co. Advises Atlas Research LLC on its sale to Customer Value Partners, LLC
KippsDeSanto & Co. is pleased to announce the sale of Atlas Research LLC (“Atlas” or the “Company”) to Customer Value Partners, LLC (“CVP”).
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., Atlas provides evidence-based and innovative transformation solutions targeted at the most pressing, sizable, and complex health, healthcare, and social services challenges facing Federal agencies. Through implementation of data-driven insights and analytics, Atlas helps drive improved organizational effectiveness and transformation campaigns by optimizing technology, operations, and programs across the full lifecycle of customer needs.
Since its founding in 2008, Atlas has built deep and longstanding relationships across the Federal health market due to its role as a trusted partner capable of repeatedly delivering successful large scale, highly-visible, complex transformations across diverse enterprise-wide and organizational transformation efforts. Notably, the Company has established embedded relationships within the Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”), the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), and the Department of Defense (“DoD”), amongst others.
We believe this transaction highlights several key trends in the M&A market:
• Favorable view of exposure to large, growing Federal health market given recent change in administration
• Strong demand for access to the VA and HHS via major contract vehicles and BPAs (e.g., access to $1B VHA IHT IDIQ and $322M FDA BPA) as well as longstanding and embedded customer intimacy
• Desire for bolstered capabilities in leading edge digital and transformation solutions and expertise
• Continued emphasis on acquiring companies with deep personnel benches (highlighted by technical subject matter expertise, level of education, and requisite industry credentials)
• Strategic buyers place high value on the ability to complement and expand capabilities portfolio to further establish customer footprint without compromising on cultural alignment
