CDO Technologies Inc.

CDO Technologies Inc., a Black American-owned small business headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, operates as a prime contractor across a sprawling portfolio of IT hardware, automatic identification technology (AIT), telecommunications, cybersecurity, and cloud services to the Department of Defense and civilian federal agencies. The vendor competes predominantly on full-and-open vehicles—GSA Schedules, OASIS+, and agency IDIQs—with recent awards showing no reliance on set-aside categories, though older awards carry Total Small Business and Competitive 8(a) designations; this posture reflects the vendor's transition toward unrestricted competition as it scales.

CDO's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward defense and Air Force operations. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 45% of all awards, anchored by the Department of the Air Force (130 awards, $11.4 million combined potential value), Air Force Materiel Command and its subordinate Lifecycle Management Center (128 awards combined, $76 million), the Marine Corps (53 awards, $22.8 million), and Army personnel at Fort Belvoir (14 awards, $109.5 million). When ranked by potential dollar value, the distribution shifts dramatically: the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command carries $13.96 billion in combined potential value across just 9 awards, driven by the vendor's recent award on the Automatic Identification Technology 7 (AIT 7) IDIQ. The Air Education and Training Command follows with $6.22 billion across 28 awards, and GSA Federal Acquisition Service with $2.94 billion across 26 awards. This dual structure—many small orders to Air Force logistics hubs alongside a handful of billion-dollar IDIQs held with Navy and Air Force—creates a customer footprint where dollars are concentrated in strategic platforms even as transaction volume clusters around Air Force base-level operations.

CDO holds several marquee parent vehicles. The vendor was awarded a $151 billion Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ with the Missile Defense Agency on December 29, 2025 (most recent award in the source), positioning the vendor in the Missile Defense Agency's layered defense posture across air, space, cyber, and hypersonic threat domains through 2035. The vendor also holds seats on both OASIS+ unrestricted and OASIS+ Total Small Business IDIQs (each carrying $999.99 billion ceiling placeholders, indicating no specified dollar cap) with GSA, awarded in December 2024 and April 2025 respectively. A $392.75 billion Blanket Purchase Agreement under Air Education and Training Command's Information Technology Infrastructure Maintenance parent provides the vendor access to sustainment and operational readiness work for digital and IP-based voice systems, Giant Voice alert systems, cable and antenna infrastructure, and Land Mobile Radio backbone equipment across all Air Force installations CONUS and OCONUS. The vendor also holds an $8.75 billion Base Infrastructure Modernization Services IDIQ with Air Force Materiel Command Electronic Systems Center (through August 2034), an $8.6 billion single-award BPA under GSA MAS with the Department of Justice for comprehensive IT, cybersecurity, and logistics solutions, and a $72.9 million Network Infrastructure Support Services IDIQ with Defense Logistics Agency (expired June 2025, now a recompete exposure). Across these vehicles, CDO places task orders on the Federal Supply Schedule GS35F5457H (146 task orders, $55.9 million potential value), Network-Centric Solutions II (70 task orders, $380.4 million), multiple Air Force contract vehicles (63 and 42 task orders respectively under specific IDIQs), and 8(a) STARS III (37 task orders, $50.8 million).

The vendor's award activity has contracted. From 2021 (19 awards) through 2024 (9 awards) and into 2025 (8 awards), the submission rate has declined by 58%, dropping from a 2021 peak. This decline coincides with the vendor's shift toward larger-value IDIQs that spawn fewer but higher-value task orders; the award count itself is therefore misleading—the vendor holds $79.99 billion in combined potential value across 774 prime awards. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is modest: two awards with ultimate completion dates falling within that window carry combined potential value of $46.8 million, primarily from the Defense Logistics Agency Network Infrastructure Support Services BPA (expired June 2025) and residual smaller orders from Air Force and Army programs.

Recent concrete work spans hardware procurement, infrastructure services, and cloud hosting. On December 18, 2024, the vendor delivered 80 Zebra extended range scanners to the Surface Deployment and Distribution Command under the Automatic Identification Technology 6 (AIT 6) IDIQ for $46,190 firm-fixed-price. In September 2025, CDO received a $42,717 delivery order from PEO Enterprise Information Systems under the newly awarded AIT 7 IDIQ for commercial automatic identification technology supporting the Enterprise Business System—Convergence program at Fort Belvoir. The Air Force Space Command awarded CDO a $39.6 million delivery order under GSA MAS in June 2022 for cybersecurity and information assurance technical and engineering support to reduce cybersecurity and IA risks across the DOD Information Network, Air Force Information Network, and interconnecting systems at Scott Air Force Base; SCI reporting shows this contract invoiced $3.3 million in FY2023 (14.7 FTEs, 30,645 contractor hours, $107.53/hr blended rate) and $3.8 million in FY2024 (20.8 FTEs, 43,211 contractor hours, $87.81/hr). On June 1, 2022, the Air Force Sustainment Center awarded a $7.2 million purchase order for the Air Force Global Enterprise Tracking (AFGET) program at Warner Robins Air Force Base, with Entegrity Consulting Group, LLC (women-owned, economically disadvantaged small business, also Dayton-based) subcontracted for technical support and operations. The vendor holds a $16.9 million delivery order from the Air National Guard under the Responsive Strategic Sourcing for Services (RS3) IDIQ (award date July 24, 2024, completion July 23, 2029) for network incident resolution, IT security configuration, compliance management, IT monitoring, and server and workstation administration at Joint Base Andrews; SCI reporting shows FY2024 invoicing of $514 thousand across 3.5 FTEs and 7,191 contractor hours at a blended $71.47/hr rate, with subcontractors Insight Global, LLC and Intellect Solutions, LLC (EDWOSB/WOSB-certified) performing 49% of contractor hours. Earlier work included a $10.1 million delivery order from District Washington (Air Force) in March 2022 under GSA MAS for virtual data center cloud hosting services supporting the PKH-WILSON-SISTARE program through July 2023, and a $1.64 million purchase order from Air Force Reserve Command in March 2023 for Service Oriented Computing Environment (SOCE) support at South Base, Georgia through January 2024.

CDO's service-contract activity captured in SCI shows a contraction over the three-year period covered: FY2022 invoicing of $18 million across 55 FTEs (contract-level aggregation), FY2023 of $15.2 million across 49.7 FTEs, and FY2024 of $4.3 million across 24.2 FTEs. The downward trajectory reflects both completion of large fixed-price service contracts and a shift toward task-order driven procurement from IDIQs, where invoicing is episodic and SCI reports each delivery order's labor separately. On the vendor's prime service contracts captured in SCI, government-paid hourly rates ranged from a 10th percentile of $57.98/hr to a median of $98.54/hr to a 90th percentile of $236.26/hr, reflecting a mix of technical labor (network engineers, security analysts) and senior program management. Across these prime contracts, subcontractors performed an average of 49% of contractor hours, with 21 named subcontractors reported; this sub-engagement pattern—approaching parity with internal delivery—indicates CDO builds delivery teams through strategic subs rather than relying solely on direct hires.

CDO's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 70 active categories, ranging from Material Control Specialist at $31.51/hr (high school diploma, 1 year experience, SCA applicable) through Subject Matter Expert 4 roles at $196.71/hr (bachelor's degree, 10 years experience). The mid-range contains Project Managers ($62.90/hr), Computer Programmers ($82.09/hr), Security Engineers ($101.44/hr), Cloud Security Analysts ($115.09/hr), and Cloud Program Managers ($129.04/hr), all without security-clearance requirements. This breadth positions the vendor to staff infrastructure, IT, and cybersecurity work across civilian and defense agencies without clearance overhead, aligning with its full-and-open IDIQ and GSA Schedule posture.

The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor across its 774 awards (100% prime, 0% sub), distinguishing it from vendors that blend prime and sub work. This prime-only profile, combined with its seat on OASIS+ (both restricted and unrestricted), SHIELD, multiple Air Force infrastructure IDIQs, and GSA MAS, positions CDO as a platform contractor capable of teaming and subcontracting subs rather than feeding a larger prime. The vendor's core capability remains automatic identification technology (Zebra printers, scanners, RFID tags), network infrastructure support (wireless and wired telecom services), cloud hosting (AWS and commercial cloud provisioning), and cybersecurity engineering, delivered across 95 distinct federal agencies with greatest concentration in Air Force base-level logistics operations and select Navy and Army enterprise systems.

CDO focuses on asset and inventory management, automated data capture, RFID, managed services, logistic support, supply chain management, enterprise engineering, software development, TO management, & information assurance. CDO is CMMI Level II certified.
