Agile Decision Sciences, LLC

Agile Decision Sciences, LLC, a subsidiary of Arctic Slope Regional Corporation (ASRC Federal Holding Company), is an SBA-certified 8(a) Alaskan Native Corporation-owned small disadvantaged business based in Huntsville, Alabama, delivering systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), records management, IT operations, program management, and professional services to federal civilian and defense agencies as a prime contractor on 176 of its 177 recent awards (99%). The firm competes predominantly under 8(a) set-asides—Competitive 8(a), 8(a) Sole Source, and Total Small Business designations—across a portfolio spanning $60.88 billion in combined potential value across 177 awards issued since 2013, with peak activity in 2023 (67 awards).

Agile Decision Sciences' customer concentration is anchored by three major federal procurers. NASA Headquarters accounts for 48 awards ($715 million combined potential value), dominated by task orders under the $212 million NASA Research and Education Support Services-II (NRESS-II) competitive 8(a) set-aside IDIQ for space communications and navigation (SCAN) engineering, program planning and control, spectrum management, and mission directorate administrative support. The Environmental Protection Agency holds 14 direct awards ($212 million combined potential) plus five regional awards ($6.5 million), predominantly through the $160 million Information Management Center Services V (IMCS V) competitive 8(a) IDIQ—a 54-task-order vehicle generating $120.4 million in combined potential value for records management, library services, docket center operations, and information management center support across EPA headquarters and regional offices nationwide. The Department of the Army Communications Electronics Command holds 13 awards ($189.4 million combined potential), primarily through the $99.98 million Software Engineering Center Centerwide IDIQ for four-year SETA support to Army Software Innovation Center (ASIC) initiatives in Huntsville and Aberdeen Proving Ground. GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors the potentialvalue ranking with the $50 billion 8(a) STARS III GWAC (5 awards, a placeholder ceiling), generating at least $103.1 million in combined task order value across Department of Labor (Office of Workers' Compensation Programs), Department of Defense (Office of the Secretary of Defense), Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, U.S. Secret Service, U.S. Air Force, and Department of State delivery orders. Defense Health Agency accounts for 4 awards ($91.4 million combined potential) spanning clinical data management (National Cancer Institute), cybersecurity support (Program Executive Office Systems, $87.8 million Competitive 8(a)), clinical quality management ($19.8 million 8(a) Sole Source), and health system revenue cycle support.

The vendor's recent activity trajectory shows growth through 2023 (24 awards in 2022 to 67 in 2023) followed by contraction to 16 awards in 2024 and partial recovery to 18–20 awards in 2025–2026, suggesting a maturing portfolio with fewer new IDIQ wins and increasing task-order concentration. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is substantial: 62 awards ($863.2 million combined potential value) reach ultimate completion dates between October 2026 and October 2028, creating significant recompete risk on high-value incumbencies, especially IMCS V, Army SETA, and NASA work.

Concrete capability delivery spans records management and information technology operations (EPA IMCS V task orders for library, docket center, digitization, and document imaging services); systems engineering and technical assistance for Army and Air Force software modernization (SETA support, C3 infrastructure, software sustainment); spectrum management and regulatory support for NASA and federal agencies; cybersecurity support services (Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency $190.7 million Competitive 8(a), $87.8 million PEO Systems); clinical data management and healthcare consulting (National Cancer Institute $38.7 million Competitive 8(a), Defense Health Agency $66.4 million Total Small Business); and program management and administrative support across civilian agencies. Representative prime awards include the $190.7 million Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency cybersecurity contract (Competitive 8(a), issued June 29, 2022, ultimate completion June 28, 2027, performing across Quantico and multiple subordinate locations with $32 million invoiced in FY2025 across 112 FTEs at blended rates around $137/hr and approximately 51% subcontracted); the $87.8 million Program Executive Office Systems cybersecurity contract (8(a) Sole Source, September 25, 2023, June 28, 2027, invoiced $17.1 million in FY2025 across 51.5 FTEs); the $66.4 million Defense Health Agency administrative and consulting contract (Total Small Business, March 7, 2024, March 6, 2029, invoiced $6 million in FY2025 across 49.6 FTEs at $58.32/hr blended with 51% subcontractors including Booz Allen Hamilton, Knowesis, and Alexa Research); and the $47.9 million Air Force Warner Robins 402d Software Engineering Group support contract (8(a) Sole Source, November 23, 2021, November 22, 2026, staff-augmentation and engineering services at Top Secret classification with Indrasoft Inc. subcontracting since November 2021).

SCI-reported invoiced revenue grew from $59.4 million across 189 FTEs in FY2022 to $167.8 million across 538 FTEs in FY2025—a 183% increase in dollar volume and a 2.8x expansion in workforce scale over three years, reflecting rapid scale-up across major awards. Median government-paid rates run approximately $86.93 per hour, with 10th-percentile labor priced around $42.45/hr (records management, administrative support) and 90th-percentile professional services commanding $155.68/hr and above (cybersecurity, SETA, program management). Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors averaged 19% of contractor hours, with named sub-engagement reaching 165 distinct subcontractors, signaling heavy reliance on sub-teams to scale delivery. Notable subs include Booz Allen Hamilton (records management, cybersecurity infrastructure, health system analysis), Deloitte Consulting (revenue cycle, clinical quality, infrastructure modernization), General Dynamics Information Technology (records management, business systems), Defense Acquisition Support Services LLC (Army SETA, women-owned small business), and Chenega IT Enterprise Services LLC (investigative support, 8(a) Alaskan Native Corporation-owned).

Agile Decision Sciences operates as a prime on indefinite delivery vehicles spanning contract types: the $160 million EPA IMCS V (Competitive 8(a) multiple-award IDIQ, November 1, 2022, October 31, 2027) generating 54 task orders for records management and information services across EPA regions; the $99.98 million Army Software Engineering Center Centerwide IDIQ (8(a) Sole Source single-award, September 23, 2022, September 22, 2026) for Army SETA and software support; the $50 billion 8(a) STARS III GWAC (GSA Federal Acquisition Service, February 23, 2022, July 1, 2026) placing 9+ task orders for civilian IT and professional services; the $212 million NASA Research and Education Support Services-II (single-award Competitive 8(a), through July 31, 2026) generating 48 task orders for SCAN engineering and program management work; the $190.7 million Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency cybersecurity contract (Competitive 8(a), June 29, 2022, June 28, 2027); the $38.7 million National Cancer Institute clinical data management contract (Competitive 8(a), January 15, 2023, January 14, 2028); and numerous smaller single-award IDIQs and definitive contracts across Rural Utilities Service ($24.5 million, 8(a) Sole Source, July 2023), Transportation Security Administration ($10.3 million TSA mobile app development, no set-aside, September 2023), and Department of Interior ($17.5 million technical efficiencies, 8(a) Sole Source, September 2023). The vendor also holds a position on OASIS SB (GSA $999 billion multiple-award IDIQ) and specialized Army SETA vehicles under Communications Electronics Command and Program Executive Officer structures, enabling task-order competition across Army modernization and software engineering priorities.

Agile Decision Sciences' posture as a subsidiary of Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, an Alaskan Native Corporation, anchors its 8(a) and minority-owned business status, which shapes both its set-aside eligibility and its customer perception as an SBA-certified small disadvantaged business prime. The firm's subcontracting strategy—averaging 19% sub-hours share across primes but reaching 50%+ on large cybersecurity and clinical programs—reflects deliberate use of specialized subs (cybersecurity vendors, women-owned IT firms, healthcare consultants) to scale capability delivery while maintaining prime control and profit capture. Recompete risk concentrates in EPA IMCS V (54 orders expiring through October 2027), Army SETA vehicles (multiple orders expiring September 2026 through May 2028), and Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency cybersecurity work (51% subcontractor dependency, June 2027 ultimate completion), all representing core revenue anchors that will face competitive pressure as contract terms conclude.
