Aries Systems International, Inc.

Aries Systems International, Inc. operates as a prime contractor delivering IT systems engineering, configuration management, and production support services to the Department of the Navy, with 92% of recent awards held as a prime and the balance as a subcontractor to other defense primes. The company is headquartered in Stafford, Virginia, and competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements across Navy-managed indefinite-delivery vehicles rather than under SBA set-aside categories, with the exception of a June 2026 delivery order set aside for Total Small Business.

Aries' federal portfolio centers on Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NIWC) work. The top customer by far is the Information Warfare Systems Command, which anchors $85.3 million (75% of combined potential value) across four awards. The Bureau of Naval Personnel accounts for $27.4 million across four awards, and the Naval Sea Systems Command contributes $3 thousand across four awards. Six distinct Navy offices and commands together represent 81% of the award count and 99% of combined potential value. The company has served the Navy continuously since at least 1994.

On the Seaport Next Generation (Seaport-NXG) Navy IDIQ, Aries holds four task orders worth $65.4 million combined potential value, focused on MyNavy HR IT Solutions manpower and personnel systems work. The three named task orders span configuration management, production support, software change management, testing, analysis, design, and documentation services. The most recent order, awarded June 25, 2026, carries a $29.4 million ceiling and runs through June 24, 2031, set aside for Total Small Business. An earlier order from May 2023 carries a $14.8 million ceiling and completes May 9, 2028, with no set-aside applied; this award faces recompete in the next twenty-four months. Aries also holds four task orders under SeaPort-e, the legacy Navy IT vehicle, worth $47.3 million combined potential value.

Service Contract Inventory data shows that across prime contracts, Aries invoiced $20.1 million in federal services revenue in FY2022 through FY2025 (FY2022: $4.1 million, FY2023: $5.8 million, FY2024: $5.1 million, FY2025: $5.1 million). FTE trajectory across SCI-reportable contracts ranged from 20.0 to 43.8 full-time-equivalent personnel, with FY2025 at 37.7 FTEs. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, government-paid rates median around $83.51/hr, with senior labor pricing through $83.75/hr. Across prime contracts in SCI, subcontractors performed approximately 20% of contractor hours; the company named two subcontractors in SCI reporting. As a subcontractor, Aries delivered technical services support and data management labor to CACI Inc. on a December 2024 award under an OPNAV N16 contract and to an unspecified prime on an April 2025 technical services award.
