About this award
U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued a delivery order to Aretecsbd LLC on February 6, 2026, under the 8(a) STARS III GWAC for technology service desk services, with a ceiling value of $60.8 million and an ultimate completion date of March 15, 2031.
The 8(a) STARS III is a $50 billion GSA-administered multiple-award GWAC supporting IT and cybersecurity services across federal agencies, awarded February 23, 2022. This delivery order is issued under the Competitive 8(a) set-aside. Aretecsbd LLC is an SBA-certified 8(a) joint venture and Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Fairfax, Virginia, where performance is located. The firm delivers IT operations and cybersecurity services exclusively to federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor and holds a position on the STARS III vehicle itself. According to Service Contract Inventory reporting, Aretecsbd invoiced $24 million across 78.3 FTEs in FY2024 and $10 million across 26.0 FTEs in FY2023 on SCI-reportable prime contracts, reflecting significant year-over-year workforce expansion. Government-paid hourly rates on federal services contracts span from $82.34 to $194.13 per hour, with a median of $163.69 per hour across roles ranging from Cloud Technical Assistant through Cloud Senior Developer and Cloud Program Manager II. Approximately 38 percent of contractor hours are performed by subcontractors on average, though recent USCIS work demonstrates zero subcontractor engagement on self-performed efforts.
