Astor & Sanders Corporation

Astor & Sanders Corporation, a women-owned small business headquartered in McLean, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor on federal IT and professional services work with $30.66 billion in combined potential value across 204 awards (71% prime, 29% sub). The vendor holds SBA certifications for Women-Owned Small Business, is minority-owned and Subcontinent Asian American-owned, and competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements rather than set-aside vehicles; it retains a subsidiary, Systems Integration & Development Inc., also woman-owned and minority-owned.

Astor & Sanders' capability footprint centers on IT operations, database administration, network management, application support, and geospatial information systems (GIS) analysis for civilian agencies. Recent prime delivery work includes a $11.98 million IRS Network Management Control Center IT support services task order under the CIO-SP3 SB GWAC (May 2024, completion April 2025), a $10.79 million Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics electronic Business Support Systems and e-Grants operations and maintenance task order under GSA MAS (June 2022, completion December 2024), a $4.72 million Defense Human Resources Activity Wage Modernization Support Services delivery order under CIO-SP3 SB (September 2022, completion September 2024), and multiple GIS and database administration BPA calls with the Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service ranging from $105,551 to $370,561 under GSA MAS between 2021 and 2025. Most recently, Astor & Sanders received a $4 billion Indefinite Delivery Contract award with Naval Sea Systems Command for SeaPort-NXG IT and technical services (January 2025, completion January 2029), backed by a $500 minimum-guarantee task order.

Customer concentration is pronounced: the top five funding offices account for 74% of awards by count, with the Department of Interior US Geological Survey (63 awards, $26.2 million potential value) and the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (43 awards, $91.7 million potential value) anchoring the portfolio by volume. By potential value, however, two IDV positions dominate: the National Institutes of Health NITAAC Office of Information Technology Acquisition (2 awards, $20 billion potential value, primarily the CIO-SP3 SB GWAC vehicle) and Naval Sea Systems Command (4 awards, $7.96 billion potential value, largely the newly awarded SeaPort-NXG contract). This divergence reflects Astor's recent procurement of large government-wide vehicles; the dollars are heavily concentrated in two IDV relationships despite broader historical customer diversity.

Astor & Sanders holds positions on five major vehicles: the 57-task-order IDC 140G0321D0002 (USGS enterprise IT services), the 50-task-order DOLJ109A30650 IDC ($195.9 million potential value), the 36-task-order 8(a) STARS III GWAC ($163.1 million potential value), the 30-task-order GSA Multiple Award Schedule ($138.6 million potential value), and the 9-task-order IT Schedule 70 ($7.5 million potential value). Activity has been volatile: fifteen awards in 2022 collapsed to five in 2023 and four in 2024 before rebounding to seven in 2025, reflecting extended recompete cycles and vehicle transitions. The recompete cliff is minimal—only one award ($603 thousand) reaches completion within the next twenty-four months—positioning the vendor to avoid large near-term renewal risk.

On federal service contracts captured in the Service Contract Inventory above the $150,000 reporting threshold, Astor & Sanders reported $37.8 million in invoiced prime revenue across FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $21.8 million, FY2023: $16 million, FY2024: zero SCI records, reflecting the data lag). SCI-reported FTE delivery scaled from 88.7 FTEs in FY2022 to 32.2 FTEs in FY2023 to 11.5 FTEs in FY2024, indicating a sharp contraction in service-contract labor volume, though SCI is a partial view excluding the large IDV awards. Government-paid median rates on SCI prime contracts ran $106.13 per hour, ranging from the 10th percentile at $49.38/hr to the 90th percentile at $141.37/hr, positioning the vendor in the mid-market for federal IT labor. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors supplied 11% of total contractor hours on average, with nineteen named subcontractors appearing across the reported prime contracts, indicating Astor builds delivery teams primarily from its own staff rather than leaning heavily on subs.

Astor & Sanders operates as a subcontractor predominantly to Nationwide IT Services Inc., the prime on the USGS Scientific Computing and Analysis Support (SCAS) III IDC and the USGS Enterprise IT Services IDC (140G0321D0002), where Astor supplies network administration, application support, enterprise hosting, DevOps, and ShakeAlert seismic monitoring systems support across dozens of USGS task orders since 2021. Astor also subs to Leidos on Department of Defense DCHRMS and DCPDS software sustainment support (August 2025 and October 2024). The Nationwide IT Services relationship represents the bulk of Astor's sub volume and is the primary avenue for USGS interior work; the Leidos sub work is recent and defense-focused, narrower in scope.

On GSA Schedule, Astor & Sanders carries 139 active labor categories spanning $46.30/hr for Help Desk Specialist I roles (associates, no clearance) through $332.34/hr for senior Subject Matter Expert V positions (bachelors-level, 20+ years experience, no clearance), with mid-tier categories such as Cloud IT Specialist III at $130.90/hr and UNIX Systems Administrator at $118.09/hr. The portfolio reflects no security-cleared offerings and emphasizes cloud, systems administration, and application-support skill sets aligned to the vendor's civilian IT operations footprint.
