Akima Data Management LLC

Akima Data Management LLC, a subsidiary of Nana Regional Corporation (an Alaskan Native Corporation), is an SBA 8(a)-certified small disadvantaged business providing IT infrastructure support, telecommunications cabling and fiber optic installation, DevSecOps and cloud platform services, and enterprise IT modernization to federal agencies across civilian and defense sectors, operating as a prime contractor (100% of awards in the source). The company is based in Herndon, Virginia, and held $127.8 million in SCI-reported invoiced federal service contract revenue from FY2023 through FY2025, delivering approximately 177 to 212 FTEs annually across a diversified portfolio of 35 distinct federal customer agencies with no dominant concentration.

Akima's federal customer base spreads across civilian IT modernization (Food and Drug Administration, Department of State, Department of Interior) and defense IT infrastructure (Department of Defense Washington Headquarters Service, Air Force, Defense Threat Reduction Agency). The top five customer agencies account for 44% of awards by count, with the Department of the Air Force (13 awards, $23.5 million combined potential value), National Science Foundation Division of Administrative Services (11 awards, $14.8 million), Air Force Materiel Command Electronic Systems Center (11 awards, $131.9 million), Customs and Border Protection (8 awards, $2.3 million), and DOD Washington Headquarters Service (8 awards, $185.8 million) anchoring activity. When ranked by potential value dollars, NASA dominates with two awards totaling $40 billion in combined potential value—the recent SEWP VI GWACs (one Total Small Business set-aside, one Partial Small Business, both $20 billion ceilings with October 31, 2036 completion)—followed by DOD Washington Headquarters Service ($185.8 million across 8 awards) and Air Force Materiel Command Electronic Systems Center ($131.9 million across 11 awards). This value concentration reflects large IDIQs rather than order volume; the company's actual customer concentration by order count is comparatively balanced across civilian and defense accounts.

Capability footprint centers on telecommunications infrastructure installation (fiber optic cabling, outside plant deployment, Wi-Fi provisioning, network node refresh), commercial internet service delivery (particularly at Hanscom Air Force Base), IT support services and platform modernization (DevSecOps, enterprise document and records management, control systems IT support), security services (operational security, cybersecurity support, security equipment), and administrative and program support services. Representative named contracts include a $61.9 million Defense Threat Reduction Agency security support services definitive contract (8(a) sole source, March 2022 through February 2027), a $40.2 million Department of State overseas protection services contract (time-and-materials, February 2023 through May 2028), a $26.8 million DoD Inspector General cybersecurity support services delivery order (September 2023 through September 2028), a $4.59 million FDA DevSecOps platform support delivery order (April 2026 through April 2029), and multiple Hanscom Air Force Base commercial internet and infrastructure task orders totaling several million dollars across fiber installation, Wi-Fi provisioning, and site surveys. Akima also holds a $19.25 million Air Force commercial internet service provider IDIQ (February 2022 through January 2027) from which 16 task orders have been issued to date, valued at approximately $7.27 million.

Akima operates as a prime contractor exclusively within the source data; no subcontract work appears in its award footprint. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the company reported approximately 11% of contractor hours performed by subcontractors, with 50 named subcontractors across the portfolio. Named subcontractors include Buchanan & Edwards, Inc. (training and communications support on the State Department GTM HRIT order), Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (major subcontractor on Special Access Program review support services), Act1 Federal LLC (regional center support), and Translang LTD (regional center work). The vendor self-performs the majority of delivery and retains flexibility to subcontract support functions on larger or specialized engagements.

GSA Schedule presence supports labor-hour and time-and-materials delivery across 101 active labor categories, with hourly rates spanning $59.37 (Logistics Coordinator) through $232.94 (Software Architect IV), all at bachelor's degree or above with no cleared positions offered. The median rate across the schedule runs approximately $127.84 per hour; SCI data shows government-paid rates at the 10th percentile of $71.56/hr, median of $127.84/hr, and 90th percentile of $223.34/hr, reflecting a spectrum of entry-level administrative, mid-tier technical, and senior architecture roles.

Recent activity shows strong growth year-over-year. Awards increased from 10 in 2022 to 42 in 2025, with 11 awards in 2026 (through October). SCI-reported invoicing grew from $29.2 million in FY2023 to $49.7 million in FY2024 (70% growth) and remained steady at $49 million in FY2025; FTE headcount grew correspondingly from 101 FTEs in FY2023 to 204 in FY2024 and stabilized at 212 in FY2025. Akima faces a recompete cliff of 25 awards (combined potential value $237.5 million) completing within the next twenty-four months, including major contracts with the Air Force, FDA, DOD, and other agencies that will require recompete activity.

Akima maintains established positions on four major parent vehicles: the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (24 task orders, $71.2 million combined potential value) where it holds a $500,000 ceiling contract (awarded March 6, 2024, through March 5, 2029); the Polaris GWAC (awarded December 30, 2024, $999,999,999,999 ceiling, Total Small Business set-aside); NASA SEWP VI GWACs (two awards November 1, 2026, $20 billion ceilings each, through October 31, 2036); a $500 million Department of Interior indefinite-delivery IT support services contract (Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise set-aside, September 20, 2024); the Air Force Hanscom CISP IDIQ ($19.25 million, 8(a) sole source); and several single-award IDIQs with FDA ($30 million EDRMP, $20 million CVM IT modernization), DOD Washington Headquarters Service ($180 million control systems IT support), Air Force Electronic Systems Center ($98.7 million BASE BITI wireless recapitalization), and Division of Administrative Services ($8.5 million security services). From these vehicles, Akima draws a mix of 8(a) sole-source and competitive task orders, with recent awards trending toward full-and-open delivery orders under established parent vehicles.

Akima's set-aside posture is predominantly 8(a). Across the prime footprint, the majority of awards carry 8(a) sole-source designations; a smaller share compete under competitive 8(a) set-asides (e.g., $5.39 million Army Housing Division contract, April 2025, Competitive 8(a)). Non-set-aside task orders and delivery orders account for approximately 40% of recent award volume, issued against established parent vehicles (NASA SEWP VI, Polaris GWAC, GSA Schedule, Air Force Hanscom IDIQ, DOD Washington Headquarters Service IDIQs) where Akima's 8(a) standing provides a competitive advantage but is not mandatory to compete. The company's 8(a) certification expires April 9, 2029.

Top NAICS categories by award count include Other Computer Related Services (36 awards), Wireless Telecommunications Carriers Except Satellite (23 awards), Computer Systems Design Services (18 awards), and Administrative Management Consulting (11 awards). Top PSC categories reflect IT and telecommunications network services (Network As A Service, Network Support Services, IT Management Support Services Labor) and professional support labor. The portfolio shows balanced breadth across infrastructure, platform, and labor-hour delivery models, positioning Akima as a capable multi-discipline federal IT contractor with established relationships across civilian and defense customer bases.
