Anavation, LLC

Anavation, LLC, a Chantilly, Virginia-based for-profit limited liability company, operates as a prime contractor delivering C5ISR research, IT infrastructure support, data management, cybersecurity, and software engineering services to defense and civilian federal agencies across multiple IDIQs, BPAs, and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside restrictions, though it holds a position on the OASIS+ Total Small Business IDIQ as well.

Anavation's customer concentration tilts toward defense and homeland security. By award count, the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate leads with 20 awards ($850 thousand combined potential value), followed by the Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division with 18 awards ($8.62 billion combined potential value). However, by potential dollar value, the portfolio is dominated by two massive ceiling contracts: a $37.4 billion Responsive Strategic Sourcing for Services (RS3) delivery order with the Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground, and a $20 billion award with the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health NITAAC Office of Information Technology Acquisition. The FBI's ITSSS-2 BPA ($8.6 billion ceiling) anchors the company's civilian justice portfolio. Anavation has worked across 21 distinct customer agencies in recent years.

Anavation holds prime positions on eight significant IDVs and BPAs. The SHIELD Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense indefinite delivery contract from the Missile Defense Agency carries a multi-billion-dollar ceiling through December 2035 and encompasses R&D, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, and cybersecurity across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid domains. Two GSA OASIS+ contracts awarded December 2024—the Total Small Business IDIQ and the Unrestricted IDIQ, both with multi-billion-dollar ceilings through December 2029—position Anavation to compete across seven functional domains including Management and Advisory, Technical and Engineering, Research and Development, and Intelligence Services. Additional vehicles include the FBI ITSSS-2 BPA ($8.6 billion ceiling, single award, through June 2032) for IT and professional services; the Customs and Border Protection Enterprise Business Management Support Services 2 BPA ($900 million ceiling through October 2030); the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency National Background Investigation Services Modernization BPA ($800 million ceiling through July 2030) for software engineering; the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Architecture and Integration IDIQ ($900 million ceiling through November 2027); and the Office of the Secretary of Defense Joint Artificial Intelligence Center Data Readiness BOA ($249 million ceiling through March 2027). Anavation also places task orders under the Army RS3 IDIQ and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. Recent prime awards include a $22.6 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from Army RDECOM for C5ISR research and laboratory administrative support (awarded December 2023, running through April 2029), a $16.4 million firm fixed price delivery order from U.S. Cyber Command for unified platform data management under GSA MAS (April 2024), and a $20.6 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from Army RDECOM for IT infrastructure support at sensor laboratories and prototype testing facilities in Reston, Virginia (awarded August 2023, completing August 2026).

Anavation's activity trajectory shows growth through 2024—four awards in 2023 accelerating to 16 in 2024, with 15 awards in 2025—though the most recent award (June 2026) has not yet established a 2026 trend. Three awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $45.2 million, representing near-term recompete exposure. The company operates as a subcontractor alongside its prime footprint: 27 awards (37%) across the portfolio are sub positions, predominantly under BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services Inc. and Applied Research Associates, Inc. Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts, Anavation recorded $16.1 million in invoiced revenue in FY2022–FY2024, with FY2024 showing $4.5 million across 16.8 FTEs, indicating a declining invoiced-revenue trajectory even as prime contract ceiling values have expanded significantly. Median government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts run approximately $116.79 per hour, with the 90th percentile near $137.79 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors perform approximately 13 percent of contractor hours, with six named subcontractors reported, indicating that Anavation primarily builds its own delivery teams while leveraging limited subcontracting.
