Cgtech

Cgtech, a foreign-owned software company headquartered in Irvine, California, delivers computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) simulation and verification software—principally its VERICUT product line for numerical control and CNC machining process modeling—as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) to federal agencies across NASA, the Department of Defense, and military commands. Cgtech is a subsidiary of Sandvik, Inc., a Swedish multinational manufacturer, and competes on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

Cgtech's capability portfolio centers on VERICUT software maintenance, licensing, training, and support for federal manufacturing and aerospace operations. The platform simulates and verifies CNC machining processes, material removal operations, and numerically controlled production sequences to support component design validation, process optimization, and manufacturing simulation. Representative prime work includes a $328.7 million purchase order from the Air Force Materiel Command's Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (awarded November 2021, completion November 2026) for nine VERICUT licenses with multi-axis simulation, auto-differentiation, machine simulation, and CATIA V5 and MasterCAM interfaces, plus on-site and off-site training; a $501 thousand cooperative agreement with NASA's Shared Services Center (awarded June 2022, completion December 2026) for Phase 1 of the NASA High-Rate Composites Aircraft Manufacturing project, focusing on design-for-manufacturing work using VERICUT to model and verify manufacturing processes for large composite airframe structures; and a $116.6 thousand purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (September 2025, completion December 2025) for VERICUT verification CNC machine simulation software packages and three days of on-site training at Irvine, supporting Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division programs including the Ohio Replacement Program and Virginia-class submarine variants.

Cgtech's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward NASA's Shared Services Center, which accounts for 57 awards (30% of total award count) and $6.8 million (56% of combined potential value). The Air Force Materiel Command's Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex ranks second with 15 awards and $1.2 million in potential value. The top five customer organizations—NASA Shared Services Center, Warner Robins, NASA (broader agency), Naval Sea Systems Command, and Army TACOM—represent 64% of all awards and 87% of combined potential value. The concentration reflects Cgtech's embedded position as the sole-source VERICUT provider across multiple defense and civilian aerospace agencies; nearly all purchase orders are justified as sole-source procurements under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii) based on Cgtech's exclusive proprietary rights to the software.

Cgtech holds a $1 million Blanket Purchase Agreement (80NSSC20A0006) with NASA's Shared Services Center running through February 2026, with 30 task orders placed against it worth $1.1 million in combined potential value. Two additional NASA BPAs—80NSSC23AA010 (5 task orders, $245 thousand) and a broader IDC (NNX14MC95B, 30 task orders, $1.1 million)—account for a significant portion of active work. Purchase orders under these vehicles fund recurring annual software maintenance renewals at NASA centers (Langley, Marshall, and others) and military installations (Warner Robins, Jacksonville, Rock Island, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Watervliet Arsenal).

Activity has remained relatively flat over five years (8 awards in 2022 to 11 in both 2024 and 2025, with 7 through August 2026). Nine awards with combined potential value of $1.1 million complete within the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure. The broader portfolio spans 191 awards since 2000, with $12.2 million in combined potential value and $7.8 million obligated (64% of ceiling). Work is performed primarily at Cgtech's Irvine headquarters and at customer sites (NASA centers, shipyards, arsenals, air logistics complexes) across Alabama, Virginia, Florida, New York, Illinois, Georgia, and California.

Cgtech's subcontractor footprint is minimal (3% of awards). Named sub-awards include work under Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies on management and operations of the National Security Campus (software and virtual machine configuration components, August and May 2025) and under Consolidated Nuclear Security for the Y-12 National Security Complex and Pantex Plant (November and October 2024). Lockheed Martin subs account for training and software maintenance components (October 2024). These sub awards align with Cgtech's role as a specialized software licensing and support provider embedded in larger operations and security contracts.

Cgtech's customer agencies include NASA (57 awards across Shared Services Center and broader agency), the Army (20 awards via TACOM), the Air Force (15 awards via Warner Robins), the Navy (30 awards split between Naval Air Systems Command and Naval Sea Systems Command), and the Defense Department broadly. The vendor has established an extensive track record since 2002 with federal aerospace and defense operations, positioning VERICUT as critical manufacturing-simulation infrastructure for submarine construction, surface combatant modernization, aircraft component verification, and Army ground-system manufacturing validation. No federal grant awards appear in the recent footprint beyond the single NASA cooperative agreement on composites manufacturing.
