Certified Technical Experts, Inc.

Certified Technical Experts, Inc., doing business as CTE, is a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Peachtree Corners, Georgia, that operates as a 100% prime contractor across federal IT services, healthcare staffing, and administrative support work. CTE is Subcontinent Asian (Asian-Indian) American owned, DOT certified as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise, and carries SBA 8(a) Business Development Program positioning that anchors significant work to set-aside vehicles.

CTE's customer concentration is heavily weighted to defense and civilian health agencies. Across 90 total awards, the top five customers by count account for 74% of the award portfolio, led by the Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command (29 awards, $17.2 million combined potential value), the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh (16 awards, $31.6 million combined potential value), and the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Maxwell Air Force Base (9 awards, $2.7 million combined potential value). However, the potential-value ranking diverges sharply: the GSA Federal Acquisition Service holds a dominant $50 billion combined potential value across three awards (the 8(a) STARS III GWAC), the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command carries $5.28 billion across four awards, and the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Headquarters anchors $1 billion across a single award — the eFAST Blanket Purchase Agreement with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2029. The top five customers by potential value account for 100% of combined dollars. CTE's award profile therefore splits into two tiers: small-dollar, high-volume healthcare staffing and IT services work delivered to AETC and CDC, and large-vehicle positions held with FAA and Navy that generate substantial ceilings with modest task-order activation to date.

CTE's primary vehicle positions are the GSA 8(a) STARS III Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (through July 2026), the FAA's $1 billion single-award eFAST BPA (through September 2029), the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (four task orders, $4.7 million combined potential value), and the Federal Supply Schedule GSS35F0302Y (one task order, $5.1 million combined potential value). The BPA and STARS III vehicle represent structural anchors in CTE's footprint; the FAA BPA in particular carries no set-aside requirement and is positioned to deliver legacy system modernization, sustainment, security, and software development to the National Airspace System. Recent representative capability work includes a $5.1 million CDC delivery order for enhancement, development, maintenance, and interoperability of medical coding systems at the National Center for Health Statistics (Durham, North Carolina, ultimate completion March 22, 2025); a $4.3 million CDC delivery order for software maintenance and support services placed under the GSA MAS (ultimate completion September 27, 2025); a $1.8 million 8(a) Sole Source definitive contract with AETC for strategic communications support (ultimate completion March 31, 2025); and a $1.1 million 8(a) Sole Source contract with CDC Pittsburgh for administrative support services (Chamblee, Georgia, ultimate completion April 18, 2027). CTE also delivered healthcare staffing — including lab technicians, pharmacy technicians, women's health registered nurses, and dietitian services — to AETC and Armed Forces Retirement Home under 8(a) Sole Source awards in 2021–2022.

Activity has declined significantly. CTE received 11 awards in 2021, three in 2022, one in 2023, one in 2024, and one in 2026. Only three awards (combined potential value $1.9 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. Service Contract Inventory data shows SCI-reportable invoiced revenue of $3.6 million across 24.4 FTEs in FY2022 and $3.5 million across 13.8 FTEs in FY2024, with zero invoicing reported in FY2023; on federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates ran around $75.61 per hour, with senior labor pricing through approximately $155.09 per hour. CTE self-performs all reported SCI labor with zero subcontractor engagement across its prime contracts. The portfolio spans custom computer programming services (16 awards), healthcare practitioner services (15 awards), other computer-related services (8 awards), and administrative management consulting (7 awards), reflecting dual capability in federal IT modernization and healthcare staffing support.
