Akima Data Management LLC

Akima Data Management LLC, an SBA 8(a)-certified Alaskan Native Corporation-owned small business, delivers IT infrastructure support, cybersecurity services, telecommunications infrastructure installation, and federal security services to civilian and defense agencies as a prime contractor across a diversified federal customer base. A wholly owned subsidiary of Akima LLC (parent: Nana Regional Corporation, Inc.), the Herndon, Virginia-based firm operates predominantly under 8(a) sole-source and competitive 8(a) set-asides, with a recurring posture toward full-and-open delivery orders under established IDIQs and schedule vehicles.

Akima Data Management's customer concentration spans defense and civilian agencies with no dominant customer. The top five funding agencies by potential value—DOD Washington Headquarters Service ($140.9 million across ten awards), Air Force Materiel Command Electronic Systems Center ($131.9 million across eleven awards), Food and Drug Administration ($89.2 million across eight awards), Office of the Secretary of Defense ($70 million across three awards), and Defense Threat Reduction Agency ($64.1 million across two awards)—account for 39 percent of combined potential value across 110 prime awards. By award count, the same five agencies plus Customs and Border Protection hold 46 percent of recent awards (51 of 110). The vendor works across 31 distinct customer agencies, indicating broad federal reach without concentration risk.

Akima Data Management operates primarily through single-award IDIQs and blanket purchase agreements across Air Force, Defense, Interior, and FDA. Major parent vehicles include a $90 million DoD Washington Headquarters Service IT support IDIQ (ten task orders, $65.4 million combined value); a $98.7 million Air Force Materiel Command base information transport infrastructure IDIQ (two delivery orders, $33.7 million); a $48 million Air Mobility Command BPA under the Multiple Award Schedule (five task orders, $697 thousand through September 2025); a $500 million Department of Interior and Indian Health Service IT support IDIQ set aside for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (single award, no task orders yet listed in detail); an $8.5 million Division of Administrative Services security services IDIQ (six task orders); a $30 million FDA enterprise document and record management platform IDIQ (five delivery orders totaling $25.3 million); and a $999.999 billion Polaris GWAC (GSA, multiple award, 10-year ordering period, set-aside for small business). Akima also holds a $19.25 million Air Force commercial internet service provider IDIQ for Hanscom Air Force Base (sixteen task orders, $7.27 million through August 2025), positioned through February 2027. Recent awards under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule total roughly $70.6 million across twenty task orders.

Capability framing from awards and SCI data shows Akima delivers enterprise IT modernization, DevSecOps platform support, cybersecurity and information assurance services, operational security (OPSEC) and special security representative support, network infrastructure cabling and fiber optic installation, data center and Wi-Fi infrastructure provisioning, IT hardware and software supplies, information management and records management support, and telecommunications support services. Representative prime work includes a $40.4 million Department of State time-and-materials contract for overseas protection services third-party contractor support (awarded February 21, 2023, through May 20, 2028, delivering 33.2 FTEs in FY2024 at $92.60/hr median rate); a $34.6 million Defense Security Cooperation Agency definitive contract for Near East South Asia and Perry Center regional service support (awarded September 30, 2024, through September 29, 2029, with Act1 Federal LLC and Translang LTD as named subcontractors); a $23.6 million DoD Washington Headquarters cybersecurity support services delivery order (September 27, 2023, through September 28, 2028); a $21.5 million DoD Washington Headquarters control systems IT support services delivery order (April 17, 2023, through April 16, 2028); a $17.6 million Office of the Secretary of Defense Special Access Program Enterprise Review Support Services contract (July 25, 2022, through July 5, 2027, with Booz Allen Hamilton as a major subcontractor); a $17.0 million Department of State GSA-MAS delivery order for Global Technology Management Human Resources IT Training and Development Services (September 30, 2024, through September 29, 2029, with Buchanan & Edwards, Inc. as subcontractor); and a $13.3 million FDA DSC IT Service Support purchase order (September 11, 2025, through August 28, 2027). Hanscom Air Force Base work is persistent across awards, including Wi-Fi and commercial internet infrastructure orders in the $100,000 to $1.6 million range.

Activity has grown substantially—from ten awards in 2022 to 42 in 2025, with six awards recorded through October 2026. Combined potential value across all 110 awards is $1.28 billion, with $275.3 million obligated (22 percent). However, 38 awards carrying $200.5 million in combined potential value are scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting a significant recompete cliff. The awards-per-year trajectory shows acceleration through 2025 but a sudden drop to six awards so far in 2026, signaling either a reporting lag or a change in procurement velocity that warrants monitoring.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue from federal service contracts shows Akima delivered $29.2 million in FY2023 (125 FTEs) and $49.7 million in FY2024 (204 FTEs across 26 SCI-reportable prime contracts), reflecting 70 percent year-over-year growth in both dollars and workforce. Government-paid median hourly rates on SCI contracts ran around $120.26/hr, with rates ranging from $69.59/hr (10th percentile) to $245.64/hr (90th percentile). Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, named subcontractors performed approximately 9 percent of total contractor hours; 28 distinct subcontractors were named across the SCI dataset. The GSA Schedule labor portfolio carries 31 unique categories spanning $59.37/hr to $204.74/hr, all at bachelor's degree and above, with no security-cleared positions offered.

Akima Data Management operates as a prime contractor on all classified awards in the source (100 percent prime posture); subcontracting activity is limited to named subs on SCI-reportable contracts, suggesting Akima builds its own delivery teams and brings subs in only on selective large engagements. Named subcontractors include Booz Allen Hamilton (Special Access Program Enterprise Review Support Services), Buchanan & Edwards, Inc. (State Department training and communications), Act1 Federal LLC and Translang LTD (DSCA regional center support), and a roster of 24 other firms. The vendor does not appear in the source as a subcontractor to other primes, positioning it as a prime-focused vendor that supplements delivery with selective strategic partnerships on complex awards. Eight(a) sole-source awards dominate the early awards list (2021–2023), while full-and-open and competitive 8(a) delivery orders are increasingly prevalent in 2024–2026, reflecting Akima's ability to compete outside set-asides as task orders flow from established IDIQs.
