Calibre Systems Inc.

Calibre Systems Inc., an employee-owned management consulting and digital transformation company headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, delivers training, program management, financial analysis, systems engineering, and administrative support services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) across defense, civilian, and grant-funded programs. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside posture; all named prime awards carry no set-aside designation.

Calibre's customer base concentrates heavily on the Department of the Army. The top five customer organizations by award count account for 61% of recent prime awards, led by the Department of the Army proper (565 awards, $343.1 million combined potential value), the Department of the Army Headquarters (242 awards, $345.7 million), and the Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command (218 awards, $2 billion). By potential value, however, concentration shifts: the GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates at $12.06 billion combined potential value across 33 awards, reflecting Calibre's footprint on OASIS+ Unrestricted and the Multiple Award Schedule. The Army Training and Doctrine Command follows at $2 billion across 218 awards, the Office of the Secretary of Defense at $1.31 billion across 26 awards, the Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick at $950.6 million across 20 awards, and the Army Office of the Secretary at $553.2 million across 55 awards. This value-count divergence signals a mix of large strategic vehicles and numerous smaller task orders distributed across Army operational commands.

Calibre's vehicle position spans both defense-specific and government-wide IDIQs. The company holds a seat on the $610 million Army Training Support Systems Enterprise (TSS-E) indefinite delivery contract (196 task orders, $156.8 million combined potential value), Mission Oriented Business Integrated Services (189 task orders, $139.2 million), the GSA Multiple Award Schedule under Federal Supply Schedule GS35F5833H (179 task orders, $458.5 million), the GSA OASIS+ Unrestricted multiple-award IDIQ awarded December 2024 with no dollar ceiling specified in the source, and a $249 million Basic Ordering Agreement for AI TALENT 2.0 with the Office of the Secretary of Defense awarded April 2025. Additionally, Calibre recently received a $151 billion multiple-award indefinite delivery contract as a consortia member under the Missile Defense Agency's Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) vehicle awarded December 2025, positioning the company to bid on national missile defense modernization and integration programs. Calibre also holds single-award vehicles with the Army ($13.8 million ceiling for financial management operations support through March 2029), the National Institutes of Health ($175 million for business and professional support services through August 2026), and a $42.7 million single-award BPA with the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Cost Analysis and Visualization Environment support running through October 2030.

Calibre's most visible recent work illustrates its core capability portfolio. A $79.75 million single-source logical follow-on delivery order from the VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick, awarded May 2026 under HCaTS, provides Transition Assistance Program training and placement services through May 2028, with Horizon Strategies LLC (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business), The AFX Group LLC/Manatee Solutions (veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned), and GBX Consultants Inc. (veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned) as named subcontractors. A $50.5 million delivery order under the Army's TSS-E for range operations at the National Training Center, Fort Irwin, California (awarded April 2023, completion June 2026), engaged Lexicon Consulting Inc. (women-owned small business) as the primary range operations subcontractor, along with Amerigas Propane, SPI LLC, and supporting vendors. An $18.5 million delivery order from the Office of Personnel Management under HCaTS (awarded August 2025, completion August 2030) trains Army and Department of Defense personnel on Army Working Capital Fund principles and processes. A $33.6 million delivery order from Army Training and Doctrine Command (awarded April 2023, completion April 2028) provides sustainable range program website portal support, with 17% of contractor hours subcontracted to Pangaea Information Technologies LTD in FY2024. Service Contract Inventory data shows SCI-reportable invoiced federal service revenue of $174.7 million across FY2022–FY2024 (prime contracts only), with FY2024 invoicing of $56.5 million across 414 FTEs and an average sub-hours share of 33% of total contractor hours across prime contracts.

Activity trajectory shows decline from 60 awards in 2023 to 52 in 2024 and 35 in 2025, with 12 awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date as of the source date. Within the next twenty-four months, 19 awards with combined potential value of $199.2 million reach ultimate completion, representing moderate recompete exposure concentrated in Army training support and financial management operations vehicles. On federal service contracts captured in SCI, government-paid rates run from a 10th percentile of $29.63/hr through a median of $130.27/hr to a 90th percentile of $514.76/hr, reflecting a mix of administrative and senior technical labor. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for an average of 33% of total contractor hours, indicating Calibre builds its own delivery teams while leveraging specialized subs for targeted capability areas (geospatial support, web portal development, range operations, environmental engineering) and small-business compliance.

Calibre's subcontractor footprint shows active teaming with mid-size and small business providers. Named primes Calibre subcontracts to include Halvik LLC (enterprise services for Army G-4 Logistics directorate; multiple ongoing modifications exercising options and adding funding through 2025), International Business Machines Corporation (IT enterprise support for the Logistics Data Acquisition Center under Army contracts; 15+ modifications and new task orders tracked), Deloitte Consulting LLP (strategic transformation and enterprise project support for Defense Logistics Agency; change management and staffing models), Peraton Inc. (Air Force product data systems and enterprise migration support at Robins AFB), Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (CDM Defend Group cloud and digital transformation; management consulting on larger vehicle), and Nextstep Technology Inc. (National Guard Bureau operations research and management analysis staffing). Across the sub-award portfolio, Calibre typically supplies labor hours, financial analysis, program management, or systems integration while subs provide specialized technical or domain expertise—a pattern consistent with a prime-led, sub-augmented delivery model.

Grant activity is limited. Calibre appears as a named sub-recipient in four federal grant sub-awards from the University of Maryland, Baltimore under Department of Health and Human Services funding: the Cooling to Help Injured Lungs (CHILL) Phase IIb clinical trial (sub-award dates July 2025, August 2024, July 2023) and the Intercollaborative Radiation Countermeasure (INTERACT) Consortium for Medical Countermeasures (sub-award date June 2023). The company provides web collaboration and project management support for these clinical research initiatives but does not hold the federal grant awards as prime recipient.

Calibre's corporate structure includes two named subsidiaries: Cizer Software Corporation and Maguire-Reeder, LTD., though the source does not detail their distinct capabilities or operational roles. Recent activity has contracted modestly after a 2023 peak, yet the company's dominant footprint on Army training support systems, OASIS+, and the new SHIELD national defense vehicle positions it for sustained federal spending in military readiness, range sustainment, program analysis, and digital transformation initiatives across the Department of Defense and civilian agencies.
