Spectrum Center Inc.

Spectrum Center Inc., a for-profit software manufacturer based in McLean, Virginia, delivers web-based spectrum management applications and software platforms to federal agencies as a prime contractor under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designations. The company specializes in Spectrum E, a comprehensive software suite enabling federal agencies to manage, track, analyze, and monitor radio spectrum licenses and operational technologies through perpetual licenses, cloud subscriptions, maintenance renewals, and training services.

Spectrum Center operates entirely as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) with no subcontractor footprint in the federal award record. The company's customer base is concentrated among spectrum-dependent agencies. The top five agencies by award count account for 49% of recent awards, led by the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard (22 awards, $355 thousand combined potential value), the Federal Communications Commission (17 awards, $849 thousand), and the Department of Homeland Security Chief Procurement Officer (15 awards, $322 thousand), with the Department of Justice and the Department of Commerce National Telecommunications and Information Administration rounding out the active set. The dollars-by-customer ranking diverges notably from volume: GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors 73% of combined potential value ($4.5 million across three awards) related to the company's GSA Schedule contract maintenance and renewal, while the FCC—second in dollars—places the most numerous orders for Spectrum E licenses and maintenance services.

Spectrum Center places 139 task orders (combined potential value $3.8 million) under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, the sole parent vehicle in the award record. Representative recent work includes a $164.9 thousand Spectrum E cloud advanced licenses delivery order with the FCC (August 2022), a $81.8 thousand Spectrum E advanced cloud subscription delivery order with the FCC (October 2021), and a $51.6 thousand spectrum software maintenance services delivery order with the FCC (March 2026). The Department of Justice places recurring annual renewal orders for Spectrum Center licenses and support (most recently $16.0 thousand, July 2026); the Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection procures PMOD software E licenses ($19.6 thousand as of June 2022); and DHS Office of the Chief Information Officer has purchased Spectrum E unlimited licenses with training and on-site assistance ($34.4 thousand, January 2022).

Activity has been episodic in recent years—five awards in 2022, then tapering to one or two awards per year through 2026—with only three awards (combined potential value $201 thousand) completing in the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure. The company's federal footprint, as captured in the Service Contract Inventory, is negligible: two SCI records across fiscal years 2022 through 2024, both as a named subcontractor on contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold, with 0.6 FTEs reported in FY2024. SCI-reportable activity does not reflect the company's primary business model, which routes revenue through software license sales and maintenance services on the GSA Schedule rather than through labor-hour service contracts captured in SCI. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $4 million against $8.7 million combined potential value (46% realization rate), indicating a customer base paying down multi-year license and maintenance contracts incrementally rather than in lump-sum obligations.
