Blue Ivy Partners, LLC

Blue Ivy Partners, LLC, a veteran-owned small business based in Arlington, Virginia, provides software licensing, DevSecOps pipeline integration, data analytics tools, and cloud infrastructure procurement to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (79% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on defense IT modernization and cyber programs. The company holds SBA certification as both a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) and Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), expiring September 28, 2028. Blue Ivy Partners competes across both set-aside and full-and-open categories, with set-aside designations (Total Small Business) appearing on roughly half of recent prime awards and full-and-open awards clustered around larger enterprise license renewals and software-as-a-service delivery orders.

The company's capability portfolio centers on software license procurement, management, and renewal across commercial platforms including Tableau, Databricks, Plotly, F5, and Cohesity, combined with DevSecOps pipeline integration and cloud toolchain services for defense engineering programs. Representative prime work includes a $153.7 million delivery order (awarded February 2023, ultimate completion May 2026) for Sentinel Systems software-as-a-service under Total Small Business set-aside from the Air Force; a $34.99 million delivery order (August 2021) for Ground Based Strategic Deterrent software toolchain management and DevSecOps services; a $14.95 million delivery order (April 2025, set aside Total Small Business) for contractor management of software licenses supporting the 76th Software Engineering Group at Tinker Air Force Base; and a $4.28 million purchase order (April 2026) for Thunder Camp License Procurement from Air Force Materiel Command. The company also holds a $100 million multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of the Air Force (established July 2020), which has generated over a dozen task orders for enterprise software licenses, and a $5 million Basic Ordering Agreement with Air Education and Training Command for DevSecOps pipeline and platform integration services.

Customer concentration aligns heavily with Air Force organizations. The Department of the Air Force commands 97% of combined potential value across recent awards, with the Air Force Secretary's office (6 awards, $103.3 million potential value) and Air Force Materiel Command (3 awards, $35.8 million) anchoring the portfolio. The Navy Information Warfare Systems Command represents the second-largest customer by award count (10 awards, $5.2 million potential value) but carries minimal dollar share compared to Air Force work. The top five customers account for 49% of award count but drive the vast majority of dollar exposure through concentrated Air Force relationships.

Blue Ivy Partners places work under two major parent vehicles: the Basic Ordering Agreement FA830720G0003 (5 task orders, $220.4 million combined potential value) — which houses the Sentinel Systems and related Air Force software-as-a-service work — and the Blanket Purchase Agreement FA701420A0010 (17 task orders, $9.4 million), which supports ongoing Tableau and analytics license renewals across Air Force Headquarters. The company also holds positions on the OASIS+ small-business vehicle (4 task orders) and multiple indefinite-delivery contracts for Navy and other defense customers.

Recent activity shows growth from 2 awards in 2022 to 10 in 2024, with 9 awards in 2025 and 1 newly awarded in 2026. Only 2 awards (combined potential value $5.2 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure. In its subcontractor role, Blue Ivy Partners delivers software licenses, cloud products and tools, and DevSecOps services to major defense integrators including Leidos (Systems Engineering Integration Contract II task orders), General Dynamics Information Technology (Cloud Products and Tools contract), Applied Research Associates (F-22 TE-RECCS II and GBSD software support), Science Applications International Corporation (Mobile Command Vehicle and AFMS3.0 GitLab renewals), and Teksynap Corporation (DTRA cybersecurity and IT support). The company's award portfolio spans Software Publishers (32 awards), Computer Systems Design Services (10 awards), and Related Services (8 awards), with IT Software and software maintenance service plans dominating the PSC distribution.
