Biswas Information Technology Solutions Inc.

Biswas Information Technology Solutions Inc., operating as Bits, is a women-owned small business (WOSB) prime contractor providing software development, systems engineering, data platform modernization, and IT support services to federal health agencies, primarily the Food and Drug Administration, under full-and-open and small-business set-aside vehicles. The company is minority-owned (Subcontinent Asian American) and SBA-certified as a women-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business, headquartered in Herndon, Virginia.

Bits operates as a prime contractor on 97% of its recent awards, with the FDA anchoring its customer footprint. The top customer by both award count and potential value reflects the agency concentration: FDA accounts for 34 awards worth $152.5 million combined potential value, representing 74% of award count across the top five customers. However, the potential-value ranking diverges significantly—the National Institutes of Health NITAAC Office of Information Technology Acquisition holds only two awards but carries $40 billion in combined potential value stemming from two OASIS+ governmentwide indefinite delivery contracts (one women-owned small business set-aside and one total small business set-aside), both awarded in 2025 with ceilings extending to 2030. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command ranks third in potential value with $5.28 billion across two awards, while the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration and the Office of the Secretary of Defense contribute additional large-dollar vehicles.

On the FDA work specifically, Bits delivers regulatory IT services including a $99.9 million Blanket Purchase Agreement under the Multiple Award Schedule for data platform modernization, proprietary software tools for drug review programs, and facility inspection site selection tools. Recent FDA awards include a $9.45 million Sentinel 3.0 Program Management Organization contract (awarded September 2024, time-and-materials, through September 2028) providing program management and business informatics support for post-market drug safety surveillance, and a $3.64 million 8(a) sole-source delivery order for FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine Corporate Database Portal redesign under the SPARC IDIQ (awarded January 2022).

Beyond the FDA, Bits holds multiple vehicles positioned for broader federal reach. The recently awarded OASIS+ woman-owned small business IDIQ (awarded June 2025, $999.9 billion ceiling through June 2030) and OASIS+ total small business IDIQ (awarded April 2025, $999.9 billion ceiling through April 2030) both sit on GSA's government-wide OASIS+ program and enable task-order competition across civilian agencies. Bits also holds the AI TALENT 2.0 Basic Ordering Agreement with the Office of the Secretary of Defense (awarded April 2025, $249 million ceiling through May 2028) for artificial intelligence talent acquisition services. On the NIH side, Bits placed a $2.88 million delivery order with the National Institute of Mental Health (awarded March 2026) for the NIH Neurobiobank biospecimen database and web portal under the CIO-SP3 SB GWAC, and a $349,914 time-and-materials delivery order with the NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations for low-code IT platform support under the same vehicle (awarded February 2026).

Bits' top parent vehicles by task-order count and combined potential value are the Multiple Award Schedule (11 task orders, $107.3 million), followed by two FDA-specific IDCs ($4.5 million and $2.3 million across 14 task orders combined), the CIO-SP3 SB GWAC (7 task orders, $14.4 million), and the 8(a) STARS II GWAC (5 task orders, $5.9 million). The company's award footprint skews toward small-business set-asides—FDA work splits between 8(a) sole-source, 8(a) competitive, total small business, and woman-owned small business designations; GSA and NIH vehicles similarly use small-business restrictions.

Activity has grown unevenly: three awards in 2022, one in 2023, three in 2024, five in 2025, and two year-to-date in 2026. The recompete cliff shows minimal near-term pressure—only $5.4 million in combined potential value reaches ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months. However, the source's snapshot shows only $41.9 million in total obligated dollars against $46.71 billion in combined potential value, indicating that most large vehicle ceilings (particularly the two OASIS+ IDCs and the naval/FAA vehicles) remain largely unexercised.

Service Contract Inventory data spans FY2022–FY2024 and shows SCI-reportable invoicing of $5.3 million in FY2022 (21.1 FTEs), zero in FY2023, and $50 thousand in FY2024 (0.2 FTEs)—reflecting the lag between contract award and deliverable invoicing. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, median government-paid rates ran around $123.15 per hour, with rates spanning $119.48 to $138.85 per hour at the tenth and ninetieth percentiles. On the GSA Schedule, Bits offers 43 labor categories ranging from scanning technicians at $36.63 per hour to senior consultants at $232.41 per hour, spanning associate through bachelor's degree requirements with no security-cleared positions. Sub-engagement on SCI prime contracts averaged zero percent by hours, indicating Bits builds its own delivery teams rather than relying on subcontractors for core work.

Bits subcontracts to larger primes on two recent awards: a Booz Allen Hamilton task order under the Unified Intake Tax Processing program supporting IRS FICO Blaze and rules-engine development (awarded July 2025), and a Booz Allen Hamilton CDM Defend Group task order for software development and cloud modernization (awarded August 2024).
