Bacula Systems Corp

Bacula Systems Corp, a foreign-owned for-profit organization headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, supplies enterprise open-source network backup and recovery software licenses and maintenance services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (93% of recent awards) competing predominantly under full-and-open procurement without set-aside designation, though it holds a small-disadvantaged-business status. The vendor's federal portfolio spans three decades of awards concentrated in civilian IT infrastructure support across five customer agencies, with all work comprising small purchase orders and software subscriptions valued under $200 thousand per award.

Bacula's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which accounts for 15 of 30 recent prime awards (50% of award count, $328 thousand of $818 thousand combined potential value). The National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders anchors eight recurring annual maintenance contracts valued at $142 thousand combined; the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Shared Services Center holds four awards for $156 thousand; and the Department of the Navy's Naval Air Systems Command / Naval Air Warfare Center holds two awards valued at $192 thousand combined potential value, representing the highest individual contract ceiling at $166,969 for a Bronze Subscription with options through July 2029. NOAA and Naval Air Warfare Center rankings diverge slightly across award count versus potential value — NOAA leads in volume but Naval Air Warfare Center carries higher per-order magnitude — reflecting NOAA's pattern of frequent small-dollar renewals versus Navy's multi-year subscription model.

Bacula participates on two indefinite-delivery contracts with one task order each under unspecified parent vehicles, generating minimal vehicle-based portfolio concentration. The vendor's top NAICS categories are computing infrastructure providers and data processing (11 awards) and software publishers (9 awards), with primary PSC codes anchored to perpetual-license software procurement (8 awards) and application-development-support labor (5 awards). Recent activity shows flat to declining year-over-year volume — four awards in 2022, five in 2023, three in 2024, four in 2025, and one in 2026 — with only two awards (combined potential value $41 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure. In its subcontractor role, Bacula delivers software subscriptions to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory under a federally funded research and development center contract awarded June 2025 and to General Dynamics Information Technology for weather and climate operational supercomputing (WCOSS2) managed services awarded March 2025. Bacula's federal footprint is characterized by high-frequency, low-dollar software renewals concentrated in scientific and climate research agencies with established, multi-year operational relationships.
