Why it Matters

BlueVoyant Government Solutions switched lobbying firms after spending $640,000 with Roosevelt Group since 2022. The cybersecurity company hired Holly Strategies Inc., gaining access to a former House Armed Services Committee communications director. This represents a strategic shift toward specialized defense expertise as Congress intensifies its focus on cybersecurity defense issues with major legislation on the horizon.

By the Numbers

Current engagement:
– $50,000 spent with Holly Strategies in Q2 2025
– One lobbyist: Joshua Coleman Holly

Historical spending:
– Total lobbying since December 2022: $690,000
– Previous firm (Roosevelt Group): $640,000 across 12 filings
– Focus areas: Supply chain security and cybersecurity defense issues

Broader Context

Congress is intensifying focus on cybersecurity and supply chain vulnerabilities. Recent House Armed Services Committee hearings examined defense acquisition reform and security standards. The House Homeland Security Committee held hearings on evolving global cyber threats, particularly from China targeting critical infrastructure.

BlueVoyant provides “end-to-end supply chain risk management solutions” for government organizations. The company helps agencies identify and resolve cyber supply chain risks.

The Agenda

The latest filing lists “Issues related to cybersecurity” under defense policy. BlueVoyant previously focused on “Supply chain security” with Roosevelt Group.

Key legislation includes the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 and the Federal Contractor Cybersecurity Vulnerability Reduction Act. The Promoting Resilient Supply Chains Act would create federal frameworks for supply chain assessment.

Competitive Landscape

Fortress Information Security LLC lobbies on “cybersecurity supply chain risk management appropriations.” Vanta Inc. promotes “third-party risk management tools” for DoD.

Major trade groups including the Information Technology Industry Council and Aerospace Industries Association actively shape Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification policies.

Between The Lines

Joshua Coleman Holly served as Communications Director for House Armed Services Committee during the 112th Congress. He brings 11 years of Capitol Hill experience directly relevant to BlueVoyant’s issues.

Rep. Nancy Mace reintroduced cybersecurity legislation for federal contractors. Sen. Mike Rounds chairs the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Cybersecurity. Bipartisan legislation from Senators Cornyn and Peters targets defense cybersecurity and supply chains.

Recent House Armed Services Subcommittee hearings reviewed DoD’s IT posture and “zero trust” architecture implementation.

The Bottom Line

BlueVoyant’s shift to specialized defense lobbying reflects the company’s ambitions in the federal market. With Congress actively legislating on cybersecurity and supply chain issues, the timing positions BlueVoyant to influence policy development. The investment in experienced representation suggests a serious long-term commitment to government business.
