Arlo Solutions L.L.C.

Arlo Solutions L.L.C., a Washington, D.C.-based economically disadvantaged women-owned small business and concurrent SBA 8(a) participant, provides cybersecurity, management consulting, program management, and intelligence support services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (92% of recent awards), operating across both set-aside and full-and-open competition. The firm also holds WOSB, EDWOSB, and SDVOSB certifications and operates through two named subsidiaries, Starlo Innovation, LLC and Starlo Innovation II, LLC, which carry identical small-business and service-disabled veteran ownership credentials.

Arlo's customer footprint concentrates heavily in defense and national security. The top five funding agencies account for 72% of recent awards by count, anchored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (14 awards, $1.09 billion combined potential value) and GSA Federal Acquisition Service (7 awards, $50 billion combined potential value). The two rankings diverge sharply: GSA's dollar dominance stems entirely from four massive OASIS+ IDIQs awarded in 2024 and 2025 (OASIS+ 8(a), OASIS+ Total Small Business, OASIS+ SDVOSB, and OASIS+ WOSB, each with a $999,999,999,999 ceiling through 2029–2030), while OSD's 14 awards reflect sustained task-order activity on defense intelligence and counterintelligence support. Other significant customers include the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (2 awards, $4 billion combined potential value, including a Seaport-NXG IDIQ), the Department of Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources (2 awards, $8.8 million), and the Department of Agriculture Office of the Chief Information Officer (3 awards, $8.1 million).

Arlo holds a portfolio of major vehicle positions anchoring its competitive posture. Beyond the four OASIS+ vehicles, Arlo competes through a Missile Defense Agency Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ with a $151 billion ceiling through December 2035, awarded December 29, 2025; an $856 million OSD BPA for Support Services to the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence & Security Enterprise (February 15, 2025–February 14, 2030), against which two significant labor-hour calls totaling $137.9 million have been issued; and a $4 billion Naval Sea Systems Command Seaport-NXG IDIQ. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule carries seven task orders worth $59.4 million combined potential value. The SHIELD award is particularly recent and material, enabling Arlo to compete for R&D, prototyping, disruptive-technology, systems-engineering, and advanced-weapon-design task orders across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid-threat domains, with work in Huntsville, Alabama and at classified-facility locations.

Recent representative prime work demonstrates the breadth of Arlo's delivery scope. On September 28 and 23, 2026 (within the past two weeks), the Department of Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources awarded two MAS delivery orders: a $3.76 million firm fixed-price order through September 2031 for acquisition workforce training conference and industry day event support, and a $4.99 million firm fixed-price order through September 2031 for executive administrative, administrative, and project management support services. On June 22, 2026, the Navy SECNAV Criminal Investigative Service at Quantico awarded a $3.46 million Total Small Business set-aside delivery order through June 2031 for IMESA support. On June 15, 2026, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency issued a $2.32 million bridge-contract 8(a) sole-source definitive contract through December 2026 for cybersecurity support (Cybersecurity Engineer, Security Architect, Analyst, Vulnerability Assessment, Information Systems Security Officer, and Incident Responder roles across 15.5 FTEs at Arlington and Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, requiring Secret clearance and CMMC Level 1 certification). On May 13, 2026, OSD awarded a $59.4 million Competitive 8(a) BPA call through November 2030 for administrative, policy, operations, and analytical support to the Sensitive Activities and Special Programs office. On February 21, 2025, the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security issued a $78.5 million labor-hour BPA call through September 2029 for SASP and Executive Directorate support. On August 29, 2023, OSD awarded a $5.36 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract through August 2028 for event planning support and OSBP training and outreach. The August 1, 2023 OSD delivery order for counterintelligence, law enforcement, and security support carries a $17 million ceiling through April 2028 under total small business set-aside.

Arlo's activity trajectory shows sustained growth. Awards per year grew from three in 2022 to ten in 2025, with six awards in 2026 (year-to-date through late September). Seven awards (combined potential value $72.1 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating moderate recompete exposure. A significant recompete-opportunity cliff arrives when the $856 million OSD BPA approaches February 2030 and when OASIS+ vehicles begin rolling off in 2029–2030.

SCI-reportable invoiced revenue on prime service contracts shows expansion from $5.4 million across 11.1 FTEs in FY2022 to $12.6 million across 37.6 FTEs in FY2025, reflecting workforce scaling across the past four fiscal years. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reported prime contracts run a median of $193.20 per hour, with a 10th percentile at $129.99 per hour and a 90th percentile at $781.00 per hour — a wide spread reflecting both administrative labor and senior-level subject-matter expertise. The GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 34 categories from administrative officer support ($106.16/hr, high school education, seven years' experience, no clearance) through senior subject-matter experts ($194.24/hr, bachelor's, seven years' experience). Critically, no GSA Schedule labor categories carry a security-clearance requirement, indicating that classified work and classified staffing flows through other contract vehicles and are therefore invisible to SCI reporting.

Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, 29% of contractor hours are performed by subcontractors drawn from a pool of 26 named subs, indicating a mixed delivery model in which Arlo builds significant in-house capacity while leveraging specialized partners. In the subcontractor footprint, Arlo delivers cyber and intelligence support to Booz Allen Hamilton (award date May 20, 2025) and performs AI/ML algorithm and model research, development, deployment, operations, and maintenance labor to ECS Federal (award date March 4, 2025). Sub work constitutes 8% of recent awards by count (3 of 39), suggesting that Arlo primarily operates as a prime rather than as a feeder to larger contractors.

Primary NAICS concentration sits with Other Computer Related Services (14 awards) and Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (8 awards), with secondary exposure in Human Resources Consulting Services (4 awards) and R&D in physical, engineering, and life sciences (3 awards). PSC designation mirrors this: Support–Professional–Other (17 awards) dominates, with Program Management/Support (3 awards) and IT and Telecom categories (4 awards combined) rounding out the set. This portfolio framing aligns with Arlo's stated service mix of cybersecurity, consulting, program management, and intelligence support but does not surface the classified intelligence, counterintelligence, and special-activities content that flows through OUSD(I&S) and OSD contracts—that content is largely invisible to NAICS and PSC codes because classified work often carries generic or placeholder designations.

Activity growth, coupled with four concurrent OASIS+ IDIQs and a $151 billion SHIELD IDIQ awarded in the past twelve months, positions Arlo as an emerging player in defense intelligence and national-security professional services, with particular strength in OSD, Navy, and defense-security-focused civilian agencies. The firm's SBA certifications across 8(a), WOSB, EDWOSB, and SDVOSB enable it to compete across set-aside and unrestricted vehicles, and its subsidiary structure signals intent to maintain or expand women-owned and service-disabled veteran credentials across distinct legal entities.
