Octave Federal traces its institutional experience to more than four decades of work supporting U.S. agencies in the design, build, operations and protection of critical assets. The organization was historically known as Hexagon US Federal and is registered as HEXAGON US FEDERAL, INC. Wikidata records it as a facet of Hexagon AB, the Swedish industrial technology group, indicating that the federal unit originated within Hexagon's corporate structure. As Hexagon US Federal, the unit served as the group's dedicated vehicle for U.S. federal government business, bringing Hexagon's geospatial, safety and security technologies to federal civilian, defense and intelligence customers. Over time it built a federal contracting footprint that includes an indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract, number 47QTCA18D003G, and memberships in multiple Other Transaction Authority (OTA) consortia.
