Aretec, Inc.

Aretec, Inc., a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor delivering IT modernization, cloud engineering, data analytics, and professional services to federal agencies. The company competes predominantly under 8(a) sole-source and competitive set-asides across civilian IT customers, with recent awards spanning full-and-open delivery orders on agency-wide vehicles. Aretec is a Subchapter S corporation and SBA 8(a) Business Development Program participant; it holds a named subsidiary, Aretecsbd LLC, also certified as a minority-owned small disadvantaged business.

Aretec's federal footprint is heavily anchored in large-value indefinite-delivery vehicles. The company holds seats on two OASIS+ contracts (OASIS+ 8(a) and OASIS+ Total Small Business, both awarded in 2024–2025 with multi-billion-dollar ceilings), a $418 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the SBA for Google Cloud Platform cloud services through May 2028, a $23 million GSA Multiple Award Schedule IT professional services vehicle (209 labor categories spanning $56/hr through $335/hr), and the CIO-SP3 Small Business GWAC where it has placed seven task orders worth $17.1 million. These vehicles enable Aretec to compete for task orders government-wide across management, technical, engineering, research, intelligence, and facilities domains.

Aretec's customer concentration is extreme: the SEC dominates by volume and dollars (15 awards, $266.7 million combined potential value across 100% of portfolio coverage). The SEC relationship centers on a single marquee delivery order — a $101.1 million labor-hour contract for National Examination Program IT Application Enhancements and Maintenance issued November 2021 under the One OIT IDIQ vehicle, running through October 2031 — that alone accounts for nearly two-thirds of Aretec's combined portfolio potential value. Three additional SEC delivery orders on the One OIT IDIQ (Cloud Center of Excellence Support, $4.1 million; Search Engine and Analytic Support, $2.4 million; and an earlier ACES CCOE cybersecurity delivery order, $4.5 million) round out Aretec's SEC stack. Beyond SEC, the next-highest-value customer is the National Institutes of Health (2 awards, $40 billion combined potential value) through the NITAAC CIO-SP3 vehicle, followed by the SBA at $418 million. Department of Homeland Security US Citizenship and Immigration Services accounts for 5 awards ($14.6 million potential value) primarily on CIO-SP3 SB delivery orders for network architecture consulting, continuous monitoring and agile support, and classified communications assessment services awarded 2021–2022.

Aretec competes across computer systems design services (24 awards, primary NAICS), other IT-related services, and custom programming work. Representative recent awards include a $926.7 thousand purchase order from the Air Force Research Laboratory (February 2026) for Dimensions.ai research-database subscription maintenance (bridge action through November 2026), a $2.7 million Air Force Research Laboratory definitive contract for data analytics software and subscription support (8(a) sole source, January 2023), a $1.7 million Office of the Chief Information Officer definitive contract for EO14042 legacy system maintenance and operations (8(a) sole source, May 2023 through April 2028), and a $3.9 million USCIS delivery order on CIO-SP3 SB for P3CT (Policy, Planning, Performance, Communications and Training) services (8(a) sole source, February 2022). Aretec also supplied Apptus X-Author software licenses to the SBA Office of Capital Access ($334 thousand, 8(a) sole source) and the SBA Office of Disaster Assistance ($304 thousand, no set-aside, April 2022).

Service Contract Inventory data capture SCI-reportable invoiced revenue of $57 million across FY2022–FY2024 (prime contracts). The trajectory shows contraction: FY2022 invoicing of $21 million across 68.4 FTEs (contract-level), declining to $19.4 million across 31.2 FTEs in FY2023 and $16.6 million across 29.9 FTEs in FY2024. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reported work run median $142.62/hr, with the 10th percentile at $70.78/hr and the 90th percentile at $282.01/hr, consistent with Aretec's GSA Schedule rate spectrum ($56–$335/hr across 209 labor categories). Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for an average of 33% of contractor hours, with 40 named subcontractors reported; Aretec reported only one SCI record as a named subcontractor, indicating minimal federal sub work. Aretec operates as a nearly exclusive prime contractor (100% of awards are prime awards; zero sub-awards appear in the portfolio).

Activity volume has slowed materially. The award count dropped from five in 2022 to six in 2023, then fell to one award in 2024 and two in 2025, with one award to date in 2026. The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months shows three awards (combined potential value $5.1 million) reaching completion, a small exposure relative to the portfolio's $40.74 billion potential value, though that figure is dominated by the two OASIS+ multi-billion-dollar placeholder ceilings awarded in late 2024 and early 2025. Outside those two OASIS+ vehicles, meaningful recompete exposure is limited. The company's 17 distinct customer agencies and wide spread across IT service categories suggest diversification in practice, but the SEC's $266.7 million share of concrete potential value and the singular $101.1 million NEP contract underscore revenue concentration risk concentrated on a single agency and a single long-running platform.
