Altamira Technologies Corp

Altamira Technologies Corp, headquartered in McLean, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor (73% of recent awards) delivering advanced technical and intelligence services to defense and intelligence agencies—signals intelligence, measurement and signature intelligence, geospatial intelligence analysis, advanced data analytics, cyber operations, systems engineering, and mission application development—across full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations. Altamira is a subsidiary of Parsons Government Services Inc., a for-profit defense contractor and manufacturer of goods.

Altamira's customer concentration is pronounced and tied to a single platform. The Department of the Air Force's National Air and Space Intelligence Center dominates the recent award portfolio with 177 awards valued at $2.61 billion in combined potential value, anchoring 84% of the award count. The Advanced Technical Exploitation Program II (ATEP II) accounts for the overwhelming majority of this activity—dozens of delivery orders under cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangements, ranging from under $250,000 to $13.8 million, issued across fiscal years 2021 through 2024. Beyond NASIC, the top customers by potential value show material concentration at the Army Materiel Command (AMC), which holds two awards valued at $37.4 billion combined potential value—likely tied to a single large IDIQ or platform vehicle. The Department of the Air Force Secretary and broader Air Force organizations round out the top five. Twenty-seven agencies are served in total, but the bulk of dollars and activity flow through Air Force intelligence and Army contracting.

Altamira holds two major IDIQ vehicles announced in the source window. The OASIS+ Unrestricted multiple-award contract was awarded by GSA's Federal Acquisition Service on December 17, 2024, carrying a multi-billion-dollar ceiling through December 16, 2029, with no set-aside. More recently, on December 29, 2025, the Missile Defense Agency awarded Altamira a seat on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ with a $151 billion ceiling through December 28, 2035, designed to support multi-layered defense capabilities across research and development, systems engineering, prototyping, weapon design, test and evaluation, and cybersecurity, with the initial task order valued at $500. The BIG SAFARI program (Aeronautical Systems Center, $8.8 million, March 2024) and the Naval Air Systems Command's RH Exercise Systems Support (Seaport-NXG vehicle, $5.1 million, September 2023) represent secondary direct-award work. The top parent vehicle in recent activity is Indefinite Delivery Contract FA860415D7977, which carries 155 task orders worth $437.3 million—the backbone of ATEP II delivery orders from NASIC—followed by the OASIS IDIQ with 36 task orders and the SAF CDM Analytical & Technical Services IDIQ with 11 task orders totaling $157.4 million.

Altamira engages extensively with prime contractors as a subcontractor. The source lists 67 sub-awards (27% of recent activity) from major defense primes including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (numerous INSITE—Intelligence Systems Infrastructure, Tools, and Enhancements—engineering services sub-awards), Leidos Inc. (signals intelligence support and sensor capability sustainment), Lockheed Martin Corp (Next Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared labor across multiple task orders), Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (AFRL SHADOW RAPTOR engineering and data science, and NIMBUS ISR and systems development), Accenture Federal Services LLC (algorithmic warfare analysis and AI/machine learning work), and others. This pattern—strong prime position on NASIC ATEP II and select vehicles, coupled with significant sub work on major platforms—indicates Altamira functions both as a capable independent prime and as a key technical provider to larger defense system integrators. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, 43% of contractor hours are performed by subcontractors, with 62 total named subcontractors reported, reinforcing a model in which Altamira manages distributed technical teams.

Altamira's workforce scale and invoicing trajectory, measured through Service Contract Inventory data (covering federal service contracts above $150,000), shows recent contraction. SCI-reportable invoiced revenue peaked at $19.5 million across 59.3 FTEs in FY2022, declined to $23 million across 64.5 FTEs in FY2023, and contracted to $8.3 million across 44 FTEs in FY2024—a decline of 54% in both invoiced amount and headcount year-over-year. SCI government-paid rates on prime contracts ran a median of $101.57 per hour, with the 10th percentile at $46.30 per hour and the 90th percentile at $182.15 per hour, reflecting a mix of technical specialist, analyst, and senior engineer labor. GSA Schedule labor offerings span 126 categories from $55 per hour (technical specialist, bachelor's, entry-level) through $335.80 per hour (technical expert, master's, 7+ years experience), with no security-cleared positions listed.

Total prime and sub awards in the source window number 248, with a combined potential value of $42.16 billion against $539.8 million obligated (1% execution rate)—a signal of large ceiling IDIQs and vehicles not yet task-ordered at scale. The recompete cliff over the next twenty-four months shows only one award (the BIG SAFARI program, $8.8 million) approaching completion, indicating limited near-term competition exposure and a portfolio anchored to long-duration vehicles and delivery orders with extended performance periods. Award velocity accelerated in 2025 with 35 awards, versus 15–21 annually in 2022–2023, driven by the addition of the SHIELD and OASIS+ seats and continued NASIC task-order issuance. The category concentration—161 awards in Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, 40 in Engineering Services—and top PSC category of R&D Defense Other (122 awards) confirm Altamira's positioning as an applied research and technical intelligence provider rather than a production or support services vendor.
