Advanced Software Technologies Company, LTD.

Advanced Software Technologies Company, LTD., doing business as Astco, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business manufacturer of goods and software publisher headquartered in Rockville, Maryland that provides data set and catalog management software to civilian federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor. Astco operates in full-and-open competition — all recent awards carry no set-aside designation — across primary NAICS 541512 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and secondary categories in Software Publishers and Computer Systems Design Services.

Astco's federal footprint is highly concentrated and narrow in scope. Seventeen of twenty-two total awards (95% coverage) fund the Department of Agriculture's Office of the Chief Information Officer, with a combined potential value of $190 thousand. The Department of Agriculture's Office of the Chief Financial Officer accounts for three awards valued at $34 thousand, and the Department of the Air Force holds one award. The portfolio shows no revenue concentration risk between the two rankings — USDA OCIO dominates both volume and dollars by an identical margin. Across its entire prime award history dating to 1991, Astco has generated $230 thousand in combined potential value against $262 thousand in actual obligations, reflecting consistent delivery of annual purchase order renewals.

Astco's core capability is the ASTUTE data set and catalog management system, a software platform supporting USDA's information technology infrastructure and data governance. The vendor has held a recurring contract relationship with USDA OCIO spanning more than two decades, with annual software license renewals and maintenance services valued consistently between $12,000 and $13,800. Recent representative work includes a $13,800 firm fixed-price purchase order awarded by the Office of the Chief Information Officer on October 1, 2026, for ASTUTE software renewal supporting the Digital Infrastructure Services Center (completion September 30, 2027); a $13,515 definitive contract from USDA OCIO on October 1, 2025, continuing ASTUTE system maintenance (completion September 30, 2026); and a $13,230 purchase order from USDA OCIO on October 1, 2024, for ASTUTE software license renewal (completion September 30, 2025). All work is performed at Astco's location in Rockville or Potomac, Maryland. Activity has remained flat at one award per year across the last five fiscal years. Two awards (combined potential value $27 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure for the vendor.
