Academi Training Center LLC

Academi Training Center LLC, doing business as Constellis Advisors And Training, provides specialized tactical training, range operations, security advisory services, and training facility management to the federal government as a large prime contractor across full-and-open competition, with no SBA set-aside designations and $15.66 billion in combined potential value across 1,314 awards since 2000.

Academi is a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Moyock, North Carolina, with a parent entity, Academi LLC (also based in Herndon, Virginia), and two named subsidiaries: International Development Solutions LLC and Blackwater Airships LLC. The vendor operates physical training infrastructure—including live-fire ranges, demolition ranges, underwater training facilities, and urban combat environments—and delivers personnel training, range rental services, and tactical advisory support to defense, law enforcement, and diplomatic agencies. Core NAICS categories reflect this infrastructure-centric model: Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing (432 awards), All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction (303 awards), Junior Colleges (264 awards), and All Other Amusement and Recreation Industries (147 awards). Primary PSC coding centers on Education/Training—Other (373 awards) and Education/Training—General (172 awards).

Customer concentration is dispersed across 78 agencies, with the top five customer agencies by award count accounting for 57% of recent awards. The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center leads by count (228 awards, $28.4 million combined potential value), followed by United States Special Operations Command (201 awards, $919.2 million), the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard (136 awards, $37.7 million), the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security (96 awards, $1.67 billion), and the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (93 awards, $13.9 million). By dollar value, however, the rankings shift sharply: the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command anchors 86% of combined potential value with just 10 awards worth $10.01 billion combined, followed by the State Department Bureau of Diplomatic Security ($1.67 billion across 96 awards), United States Special Operations Command ($919.2 million), the Army Materiel Command Redstone Arsenal ($655.7 million across 29 awards), and the State Department Bureau of Political Military Affairs ($157.7 million across 9 awards). This divergence signals that while Academi holds numerous small training task orders across military and law enforcement customers, a handful of large Navy and State Department vehicles drive most enterprise revenue.

Vehicle footprint reflects this split between high-frequency, low-value training orders and fewer large strategic advisory contracts. The Law Enforcement & Security Services GSA Schedule represents the largest by task-order volume (427 task orders, $110.6 million combined potential value), supporting recurring range rental and training facility use across federal law enforcement and security agencies. The Navy Expeditionary Combat Command IDIQ (N6133902D0015) carries 228 task orders ($28.8 million combined), issuing small delivery orders for small arms ranges, demolition courses, and underwater training—typical delivery-order values range from $6,000 to $75,000 per order. Academi holds a single-award IDIQ with Navy Expeditionary Combat Command, awarded April 9, 2026, with a ceiling of $3.8 million through April 2031, covering low-to-no-impact all-inclusive training support for Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group Two within 50 miles of Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek/Fort Story, Virginia, including shooting ranges, demolition ranges, underwater demolition, advanced demolition courses, urban training areas, modular facilities, shipboard training, and target vehicle support. Named State Department vehicles include the Global Advisory and Support Services IDIQ (mentioned in multiple delivery orders for advisory work in Peru, Kenya, Panama, Guyana, Romania, and Vanuatu), and the Coast Guard holds a large facilities-construction vehicle for firearm ranges and tactical areas (awarded September 26, 2022, $823,235.91, completion September 25, 2027). Recent named contracts span tactical training with Navy (Center for Security Forces Antiterrorism/Navy Security Force turnkey training support under Seaport-NXG, $8.3 million, awarded September 17, 2021), counter-terrorism mobility for the Army ($82,536.96, April 2025), advisory services with State ($3.75 million for Kenya, $531,892 for Peru, $282,412 for Panama, $327,846 for Guyana, all under the Global Advisory and Support Services IDIQ), and range support across multiple agencies (Marine Corps range rentals, Coast Guard Emergency Vehicle Operator Course, DEA range rental, ATF Special Response Team training facilities).

Activity trajectory shows declining award volume: 20 awards in 2022, 14 in 2023, 15 in 2024, 9 in 2025, and 7 in 2026 year-to-date. Within the next twenty-four months, only two awards (combined potential value $31.1 million) face ultimate completion and recompete exposure, suggesting minimal near-term recompete risk despite the large dollar value anchored in Navy Sea Systems Command.

SCI-reported federal service-contract invoicing totaled $11.1 million across FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $3.9 million across 6.6 FTEs; FY2023: $1.5 million across 8.3 FTEs; FY2024: $5.8 million across 3.7 FTEs), reflecting only contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold and excluding goods, products, and non-federal revenue. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $51.99/hr to a median of $143.30/hr, with senior-labor rates extending to $2,662.77/hr at the 90th percentile, indicating a mix of entry-level range support and senior advisory personnel. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, 0% of contractor hours were performed by subcontractors, showing Academi builds and staffs its own delivery teams rather than relying on subs. The vendor holds five named sub-award positions across Booz Allen Hamilton, PAE Government Services, and Fluor Marine Propulsion (nuclear training support and engineering-development work), representing less than 1% of its award footprint and a minor revenue stream relative to its prime posture.

Academi competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements—no awards carry set-aside designations—positioning it as a large-business competitor across civilian training, military tactical training, and State Department advisory markets. The vendor's competitive surface spans GSA Schedules, agency IDIQs, and SeaPort-NXG, with most work flowing through standing indefinite-delivery vehicles rather than one-off competitive procurements.
