Chitra Productions LLC

Chitra Productions LLC, a women-owned small business headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia, operates as a federal prime contractor (97% of recent awards) delivering training development, instructor support, IT operations, program management, and professional services across the Department of Defense and civilian agencies, with a subsidiary portfolio including joint-venture entities and specialized service companies (Cpc2 Joint Venture LLC, Aha-Cp JV LLC, Sandbridge Technical Services LLC, CP2 JV LLC, Aicomply LLC, American Professional Services Group LLC). Chitra is SBA-certified as a Women-Owned Small Business and Small Disadvantaged Business, with Subcontinent Asian American ownership. The company competes predominantly under set-asides, with recurring Woman-Owned Small Business and Total Small Business designations across its prime footprint, and maintains a subsidiary structure anchored in joint-venture, HUBZone, and minority-owned entities.

Customer concentration at Chitra is heavily weighted toward Navy logistics and Army training. The top five customer agencies account for 49% of award count but 91% of combined potential value—a stark divergence driven by two anchor programs. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command leads with 11 awards and $15.35 billion in combined potential value, nearly all from the Seaport Next Generation vehicle; the Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command follows with 19 awards and $291 million, anchored by the $207.4 million Cyber Center of Excellence Instructor Training Support Services IDIQ. GSA Federal Acquisition Service (8 awards, $245.1 million), the Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command (11 awards, $152.4 million), and the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (7 awards, $101.2 million) round out the active set. Chitra holds seats on multiple government-wide vehicles: the OASIS+ Total Small Business IDIQ ($999 billion ceiling, December 19, 2024 award through December 18, 2029) and OASIS+ Women-Owned Small Business IDIQ ($999 billion ceiling, September 30, 2024 award through September 29, 2029) via GSA; Seaport Next Generation (Navy IDIQ, six task orders, $71 million combined potential value); the Cyber Center of Excellence IDIQ ($207.4 million, October 29, 2021 award through October 28, 2026); Naval Training Products and Services IDIQ ($315.5 million, July 24, 2025 award); the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) vehicle with the Missile Defense Agency ($151 billion ceiling, December 29, 2025 award); and a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (12 task orders, $31.4 million). Chitra also holds single-award vehicles: an $11.4 million Sustainment Battle Lab BPA with TRADOC, a $100 million Chief Human Capital Officer BPA for business services, and a $49 million RDECOM STEM education and outreach IDIQ awarded June 26, 2026.

Award activity shows growth through 2025 (two awards in 2022 to eleven in 2024) but declined in 2026 (three awards through mid-year in source), with eight awards totaling $48.4 million reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete exposure. Chitra's capability portfolio, grounded in recent awards, spans military training delivery (cyber instructor support at Fort Eisenhower; Basic Officer Leader Course technician support; FA26 instructor training at Fort Gordon), naval logistics and command support (readiness-based sparing modeling for Naval Sea Logistics Center, $25.4 million ceiling through May 31, 2031; naval command and logistics support, $18.6 million ceiling through November 6, 2028), Army modernization research (experiments, war-games, and prototyping for the Futures and Concept Center, $1.7 million), HBCU and minority-serving institution research partnerships (summer internship and cadet research programs, $4.96 million through December 13, 2027), and civilian Air Force training content development (civil engineer education and training courses for Air Force Civil Engineer Center via Human Capital and Training Solutions GWAC, $10.8 million through June 30, 2029). The company also operates as a strategic communications and campaign development partner to the Army (DDB Chicago sub-awards, $1.2+ million annually, for creative production, product testing, and campaign strategy support).

Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts, Chitra invoiced $31.5 million from FY2022 through FY2025 (FY2022: $6.9 million across 41.2 FTEs; FY2023: $9.1 million across 40.6 FTEs; FY2024: $10.6 million across 25.2 FTEs; FY2025: $4.9 million across 25.0 FTEs). SCI data represents a subset of federal service contracts above $150,000 and excludes classified, goods, and non-federal revenue. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates ran around $138/hr, with senior labor pricing through $304/hr and entry-level roles at $70/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Chitra subcontracted 31% of contractor hours to an average of 30 named subcontractors, indicating moderate reliance on sub-tier delivery for capacity, particularly in specialized training and logistics domains. FTE trajectory shows stability around 22–35 contractor FTEs per fiscal year in SCI data, with growth in sub-engagement in FY2024–FY2025 as prime subcontractor hours increased.

On the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, Chitra holds 80 active labor categories spanning production assistants at $24.54/hr through program managers at $203.49/hr, with titles across media production, data analysis, IT and systems roles, program management, and architecture, requiring education from high school through bachelor's degree and no security clearance postures. The labor portfolio supports Chitra's civilian-agency play, especially in training content and professional services delivery.

Chitra's subcontractor footprint is lean relative to its prime posture. Named sub relationships include recurring work under DDB Chicago (Army strategic communications and campaign production task orders through December 2025) and sub-tier delivery across TRADOC instructor support and Navy logistics contracts routed through Chitra's prime IDIQs. The company's sub-hours share and named subcontractor count suggest it builds its own delivery capability for core cyber training and logistics work but engages specialized creative and communications subs when required.

Recent awards and vehicle positions reflect Chitra's strategic focus on defense training modernization, naval readiness support, and Army-wide professional services procurement. The two OASIS+ GWAC positions (totaling nearly $2 trillion in combined ceilings, though these carry placeholder ceiling values) position Chitra to compete across seven functional domains (management, technical, R&D, intelligence, environmental, facilities, logistics) for civilian and defense agencies. The SHIELD vehicle award, though currently a nominal $500 initial task order, signals entry into the Missile Defense Agency's multi-domain defense modernization portfolio and positions the company for future orders in weapon design, prototyping, systems engineering, and AI/machine-learning applications in missile defense.
