ASM Research, LLC

ASM Research, LLC, a foreign-owned IT solutions integrator based in Fairfax, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor delivering database systems management, healthcare IT, and defense personnel data services to the Department of Defense and related agencies on full-and-open (non-set-aside) federal contracts. The company competes across a highly concentrated customer base anchored in DoD, with recent work concentrated on operations and maintenance for the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database, veterinary services systems management for the Defense Health Agency, Army training systems, and Army National Guard medical IT modernization.

ASM Research's federal footprint is substantial in dollar volume but narrow in scope. The company holds 1,315 awards (1,309 prime, 6 sub) with combined potential value of $99.03 billion across 54 distinct customer agencies, though 79% of awards concentrate among five Army and Veterans Affairs contracting offices. The top two customers by potential value are the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (10 awards, $72.55 billion) and the Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center Austin (51 awards, $1.08 billion), followed by the GSA Federal Acquisition Service (11 awards, $903.8 million) and the Army Headquarters Office of the Chief of Staff (472 awards, $554.2 million). This divergence between award count and dollar concentration signals that most awards are small incremental task orders, while a small number of large vehicles dominate the potential-value landscape — particularly the NAVSEA contract, which anchors the $72.55 billion ceiling. ASM Research operates under five core IDIQs: W91WAW07D0016 (205 task orders, $66.1 million), W91WAW12D0010 (191 task orders, $95.9 million), Federal Supply Schedule GS35F4782G (136 task orders, $308.3 million), DASW0199D0037 (100 task orders), and W74V8H04D0052 (90 task orders, $22.3 million).

Capability concentration reflects the customer footprint. The company's NAICS distribution is led by Custom Computer Programming Services (687 awards), followed by Other Computer Related Services (150 awards) and Computer Systems Design Services (119 awards), with material activity in Human Resources Consulting Services (90 awards). PSC codes cluster around R&D Defense (265 awards), IT and Telecom—Other IT and Telecommunications (208 awards), and IT and Telecom—Programming (195 awards). Concrete recent work includes a $47.76 million Army Training Requirements and Resource System (ATRRS) core application contract through February 2025 with subcontractors Enterprise Technology Solutions (a woman-owned small business), New TECH Solutions, and Mks2 LLC (service-disabled veteran-owned); a $17.33 million Army National Guard bridge order on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule for Medical Electronic Data Care History and Readiness Tracking (MEDCHART) system implementation and maintenance through January 2025 (subcontractors included Sterling Computers Corporation, a woman-owned small business, and Planned Systems International Inc., a minority-owned Asian-Pacific American-owned firm); an $18.1 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Defense Human Resources Activity for Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database operations, maintenance, and migration (multiple delivery orders ranging from $367 thousand to $3 million through August 2026); a $2.47 million Defense Health Agency veterinary services systems management sustainment contract; and operations-and-maintenance delivery orders for the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database ranging from $2.8 million to $3 million per period. The company also holds sub positions under Halvik LLC on the Active Army Strength Forecaster (A2SF) program, providing operations research and data analysis support to Army personnel planning.

Activity has contracted sharply over the past five years — nine awards in 2023, four in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — reflecting either portfolio wind-down or lack of new prime awards in the source data. The combined potential value of obligated dollars stands at $2.05 billion (2% of the $99.03 billion ceiling), indicating heavy reliance on placeholder ceilings and inactive vehicles; the NAVSEA contract accounts for most of the delta.

Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold, ASM Research invoiced $74.1 million in prime-contract revenue (FY2022–FY2025), with FY2022 the strongest year at $48.4 million across 199 FTEs. Invoicing contracted sharply in FY2023 ($12.9 million, 8.6 FTEs) and FY2024 ($245 thousand, 102 FTEs), then recovered partially in FY2025 ($12.5 million, 34.8 FTEs). Government-paid median hourly rates on prime contracts ran around $149.68/hr, with rates spanning $57.86/hr at the 10th percentile (helpdesk and analyst entry roles) through $484.28/hr at the 90th percentile (senior technical specialists). Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed roughly 20% of delivered hours, with 28 named subcontractors appearing in the SCI dataset — indicating that ASM Research typically builds mixed internal-delivery and subcontractor teams. On the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, the company maintains 227 active labor categories spanning $55.14/hr to $329.01/hr (high school to bachelor's education, no security-cleared roles), covering entry-level helpdesk, IAM analysts, security administrators, project management, and health IT business systems roles.
