Abacus Technology Corporation

Abacus Technology Corporation, a minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American-owned small business headquartered in Chevy Chase, Maryland, operates as a prime contractor (98% of awards) delivering IT infrastructure, telecommunications, systems engineering, and IT support services to defense and civilian federal agencies. The company competes predominantly on full-and-open vehicles and set-aside IDIQs rather than exclusively 8(a) or other socioeconomic reserves, though it holds positions on Total Small Business vehicles including OASIS+ Small Business and the recently awarded $392.75 million Air Education and Training Command Information Technology Infrastructure Maintenance BPA.

Abacus's recent award footprint reflects a portfolio anchored in defense IT infrastructure and base operations support. The company holds a $151 billion Indefinite Delivery Contract under the Missile Defense Agency's Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program, awarded December 29, 2025, with an initial delivery order valued at $500 for materials, labor, and engineering support across classified and unclassified defense modernization programs at Huntsville, Alabama. On the civilian side, Abacus holds a $2.419 billion single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Federal Aviation Administration for Information Technology Innovative Procurement Strategic Sourcing (ITIPSS) non-National Airspace Systems IT mission support running through May 2034. The Air Force dominates the customer base by award count—402 awards with $2 million combined potential value—but the Air Education and Training Command anchors the most dollar value at $6.35 billion across 82 awards, primarily for network operations and infrastructure maintenance services across Department of Air Force installations worldwide. NASA Kennedy Space Center represents the third-largest customer by dollar value at $1.1 billion across 270 awards, predominantly small telecommunications and IT equipment orders under an Indefinite Delivery Contract (NNK08OH01C) that alone carries 558 task orders and $112 million in potential value.

Recent concrete awards demonstrate Abacus's service delivery scope. An $88.4 million delivery order from Air Force Materiel Command (November 2024) under the Responsive Strategic Sourcing for Services (RS3) IDIQ covers base communications, plans, and operations support at Tullahoma, Tennessee through July 2030, with subcontractors Bluewater Federal Solutions and Obsidian Global providing IT and communications infrastructure support. A $105.3 million delivery order from Air Education and Training Command (July 2025), also under RS3 and set-aside for Total Small Business, covers operations, management, and defense of the Air Force portion of the Department of Defense Information Network through a 26th Network Operations Squadron engagement at Montgomery, Alabama, with women-owned subcontractors Inode Ink and DLS Engineering Associates providing AFINC III support and program management. A $124.7 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order under the GSA OASIS Small Business vehicle (August 2024) supplies technical advisory and assistance services for the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center Program Executive Office at Hanscom Air Force Base, with subcontractors P E Systems (service-disabled veteran-owned small business), Applied Research Solutions, and Sumaria Systems providing technical and engineering support. A $33 million definitive contract from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (March 2024) for USMTM CITS administration continuance runs through September 2026 and is performed in Saudi Arabia on a firm-fixed-price basis. An $8.4 million enterprise IT support order for the Air Force Office of Special Investigations at Quantico (March 2024) uses Jba, Inc., a veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small business, as the IT help desk subcontractor. A $5.54 million bridge contract from the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (September 2025) through September 2026 provides continued IT support services during protest resolution and also engages Jba for help desk services.

Vehicle positioning is central to Abacus's strategy. Beyond SHIELD, ITIPSS, and the AETC BPA, Abacus holds seats on OASIS+ Unrestricted (December 2024, no dollar ceiling specified) and OASIS+ Total Small Business (December 2024, no dollar ceiling specified), positioning the vendor across the government-wide professional services landscape. The company maintains active GSA Schedule (Multiple Award Schedule) positions and sits on the Air Force's Network-Centric Solutions II (NETCENTS II) IDIQ and the Responsive Strategic Sourcing for Services (RS3) IDIQ, both primary vehicles for base IT and infrastructure support orders. Top parent vehicles by task-order volume include the NASA Kennedy Space Center Indefinite Delivery Contract NNK08OH01C (558 task orders, $112 million potential value), Federal Supply Schedule GS35F4934G (167 task orders, $51.1 million), Air Force Indefinite Delivery Contract FA940105D0001 (102 task orders, $1.63 billion), and Air Force Indefinite Delivery Contract FA300207D0027 (80 task orders, $20.5 million).

Customer concentration runs deep in defense and space operations. The top five customer segments by potential value—Air Education and Training Command ($6.35 billion across 82 awards), Air Force Materiel Command Nuclear Weapons Center ($1.64 billion, 104 awards), Air Force Materiel Command Electronic Systems Center ($1.13 billion, 52 awards), NASA Kennedy Space Center ($1.1 billion, 270 awards), and Department of Transportation ($233.9 million, 16 awards)—account for 10% of combined potential value, indicating significant concentration in Air Force and space-related infrastructure but a long tail of smaller civilian and defense IT orders. The portfolio spans 104 distinct federal agencies; NAICS concentration clusters in Wired Telecommunications Carriers (774 awards), Computer Systems Design Services (192 awards), and Computer Facilities Management Services (86 awards), reflecting the vendor's infrastructure and telecom backbone posture.

Activity trajectory shows moderated recent growth. Awards peaked at 21 in 2024 but declined to 14 in 2025; the company faced a modest recompete cliff with only three awards ($43.2 million combined potential value) completing within the next twenty-four months. Across SCI-reported service contracts (a strict subset excluding classified work, goods, and non-federal revenue), Abacus invoiced $115.6 million in prime service-contract revenue from FY2022 through FY2024—$35.1 million (FY2022, 182 FTEs), $40.3 million (FY2023, 201 FTEs), and $40.2 million (FY2024, 198 FTEs)—indicating stable-to-declining utilization within the SCI-reported window. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, median government-paid hourly rates run around $88.86/hr, with senior labor pricing through $145.90/hr; the company offers 230 unique GSA Schedule labor categories ranging from data-entry roles at $35.12/hr to principal subject-matter experts at $249.77/hr, with no security-cleared positions offered. Across prime contracts, subcontractors account for roughly 20% of total contractor hours, with 37 named subcontractors reported across the SCI dataset.

Abacus subcontracts to mid-tier and specialized primes in specialized roles. Applied Research Solutions, Inc. appears as the dominant prime relationship, with Abacus delivering engineering and administrative support services across multiple directorates (HN, NCN, DE-OB) and fiscal-year increments through April 2024. Colsa Corp engaged Abacus for SCAT 1 engineering and program-management support (November 2025). CACI NSS and CACI Federal use Abacus for network operations security center support and Base Information Management services across multiple Space Force installations (October 2025). Teksynap Corporation brought Abacus in for NOAA Systems Business IT Services (September 2025). Centuria Corporation engaged Abacus on Base Level Information Technology Services 3.0 (August 2023). A NASA sub-award (August 2023) routed Abacus through an unnamed prime for Enterprise Mission IT Services (eMITS) work supporting systems engineering, software development, IT operations, and cybersecurity across NASA centers. The pattern indicates Abacus operates as a specialist subcontractor to larger integration and program-management primes on defense R&D and base-operations work, complementing its strong prime position on infrastructure and telecommunications contracts.
