RELI Group Named as 2026 Elev8[X] GovCon Finalist

Baltimore, MD (January 30, 2026) – RELI Group has been named a 2026 Elev8[X] GovCon Finalist by OrangeSlices AI, earning recognition among an elite group of government contractors demonstrating exceptional leadership, culture and mission delivery across the federal marketplace.

Elev8[X] represents the highest level of recognition within the Elev8 GovCon program. Introduced in 2026, the Elev8[X] distinction identifies leaders among leaders, organizations that consistently rise above their peers based on how their leadership, culture and execution are experienced by employees, partners, customers and peers. More than 1,200 companies have been nominated, evaluated and rated through the Elev8 program, making Elev8[X] one of the most grounded, experience based assessments of GovCon performance today.

From an already peer recognized Elev8 honoree group, Elev8[X] finalists emerged as the highest rated organizations across multiple dimensions of leadership, trust and delivery. These finalists are not selected based on a single contract win or milestone. Instead, they reflect organizations that consistently score higher across multiple perspectives, signaling maturity in leadership, clarity of purpose and reliability in execution. RELI Group was named a finalist in the Trusted Growth Architects category, which recognizes companies building teams, leaders and organizations designed to last.

“Being named an Elev8[X] GovCon Finalist is especially meaningful because it reflects consistency, how we lead, how we support our people and how we deliver for our government partners over time,” said Vishal Tulsian, President and COO of RELI Group. “This recognition affirms that our culture and approach to mission delivery are resonating across the ecosystem, not just in moments of success but day in and day out.”

This recognition builds on RELI Group’s continued momentum within the Elev8 GovCon program. RELI has been recognized as an Elev8 GovCon Honoree for four consecutive years, including 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026.

Final Elev8[X] category winners will be announced on April 16, 2026, at a live recognition event at the Round House Theatre in Bethesda, Maryland.
