Arch Systems LLC

Arch Systems LLC, a Baltimore-based women-owned small business certified as HUBZone and minority-owned (Subcontinent Asian American), delivers enterprise IT modernization, data quality platforms, AI/ML solutions, and DevSecOps capabilities to civilian and defense federal agencies as a prime contractor (94% of recent awards) and subcontractor on cyber security and data analytics work. The company is structured as a limited liability corporation and self-certified as a small disadvantaged business, with a parent entity also operating under the Arch Systems LLC name.

Arch Systems' customer concentration reflects heavy weighting toward health and civilian IT programs. The top five funding agencies by count account for 38% of awards: the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services leads by potential value ($27.08 billion across 9 awards), followed by the Internal Revenue Service (7 awards, $6.6 million), the General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service (7 awards, $20.9 million), the National Institutes of Health Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (5 awards, $188.1 million), and the Social Security Administration (4 awards, $3.9 million). The value rankings diverge significantly: the NIH NITAAC Office of Information Technology Acquisition ($60 billion across 3 awards) and NASA ($40 billion across 2 awards) anchor the potential-value concentration through large vehicle ceilings, while CMS drives operational volume through a steady stream of delivery orders for fraud detection, prevention, and provider oversight work.

Arch Systems operates across a multi-vehicle portfolio anchored by large government-wide vehicles awarded within the past fourteen months. The company holds seats on the CIO-SP3 SB GWAC (22 task orders, $110.8 million combined potential value), where it delivers enterprise IT services, training, and system support to civilian agencies including the IRS, NOAA, USCIS, and DHS. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule (11 task orders, $89.5 million) supports IT audit, monitoring, and professional services work. Arch Systems was awarded in November 2026 to both the SEWP VI GWAC (two awards, $20 billion ceiling each) for IT communication and audio-visual solutions, and holds positions on the GSA POLARIS GWAC pools (both woman-owned and total small business sets-aside, multi-billion-dollar ceilings through 2031), the OASIS+ WOSB and OASIS+ total small business IDIQs (both multi-billion-dollar ceilings through 2029), and the Missile Defense Agency's SHIELD IDIQ ($151 billion ceiling through 2035, with a $500 initial order issued in December 2025). The company also holds a single-award NIH HBCU Path to Excellence and Innovation IDIQ ($12.25 million through 2029), the Navy SeaPort-NXG IDIQ ($4 billion ceiling through 2029), and an Office of the Secretary of Defense AI Talent 2.0 Basic Ordering Agreement ($249 million through 2028).

Recent concrete capability work spans data quality, enterprise architecture, fraud detection, and federal health IT governance. A $20.45 million April 2026 Air Force delivery order under CIO-SP3 SB called for the Kessel Run Enterprise Software Toolchain; an $18.936 million April 2025 USCIS order under CIO-SP3 SB supported business architecture development and strategic specification design for enterprise modernization; a $19.605 million November 2025 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services delivery order under the Provider Enrollment and Oversight IDIQ aimed to detect and prevent fraud and waste in Medicare and Medicaid; a $17.78 million September 2024 NOAA delivery order under CIO-SP3 SB supported the National Weather Service Meteorological Development Laboratory with time-and-materials staffing (FY2025 invoiced $5 million across 25.6 FTEs and 53,143 hours at a derived $93.78/hr blended rate, with 48% of hours subcontracted). The Army awarded a $1.763 million April 2026 definitive contract for Hawkeye DQ, an AI data quality platform for the Army Integrated Personnel and Pay System operating at Impact Level 5; the Air Force Research Laboratory purchased TRUSTEVAL ($70 thousand, June 2026) and TWINTRAP ($140 thousand, March 2026), both AI/ML-enabled test and evaluation or cyber deception platforms. Recent Head Start monitoring work for the Administration for Children and Families spanned multiple orders: an $18.28 million March 2026 delivery order (transferred from Department of Interior) through GSA Schedule for Office of Head Start monitoring digital services (time-and-materials), and a $17.999 million September 2025 delivery order also for Head Start monitoring digital services (invoiced $2.1 million in FY2025 across 7.3 FTEs and 15,139 hours at $140/hr blended rate, with one subcontractor performing 44% of hours). A $14.6 million September 2026 Department of Agriculture Farm Production and Conservation delivery order under OASIS+ WOSB focused on IT portfolio management, IT financial management, and program/project management.

Activity has grown measurably: three awards in 2022 to fifteen in 2024, with a recent plateau at twelve in 2025 and fourteen through November 2026. Seven awards carrying $45.9 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure on Head Start monitoring, IRS training, and other civilian IT service lines. Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts (prime records), invoiced revenue grew from $4.7 million in FY2022 to $18.2 million in FY2025, with FTE delivery expanding from 19.1 to 38.2 across the same period. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid hourly rates ran around $142/hr, with junior labor priced near $80/hr and senior leadership roles through $312/hr. GSA Schedule labor categories span 112 active slots from help desk ($42.77/hr) through project director ($253.90/hr), with the majority in the mid-range professional and engineering bands (program manager, $121.87/hr; web developer, $114.02/hr; QuickSight developer, $102.03/hr), supporting full-stack IT delivery and modernization staffing.

Arch Systems operates as a delivery team builder on federal services contracts: across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 30% of total contractor hours, with 36 named subcontractors identified across the contract portfolio. The company subcontracts to Noblis Inc. for cyber security support and to Peraton Inc. for data analytics work. Five sub-awards in the recent record reflect limited subcontractor posture on federal contracts; the vendor competes predominantly as a prime. Within NAICS classification, Computer Systems Design Services (34 awards) and Custom Computer Programming Services (11 awards) dominate; PSC codes align with support services, application development, and IT operations labor categories. The company maintains CMMI Maturity Level 3 certification and compete under Total Small Business, Woman-Owned Small Business, HUBZone, and competitive full-and-open designations across its vehicle portfolio, with set-aside posture varying by customer and vehicle — large GWACs like POLARIS and OASIS+ carry set-aside pools, while many delivery orders under CIO-SP3 SB carry Total Small Business or HUBZone designations. Arch Systems' recent award trajectory and multi-billion-dollar IDV ceiling positions reflect its standing as an established women-owned federal IT contractor with deep civilian agency relationships anchored by health, homeland security, and civilian IT modernization missions.
