Chronos Systems Inc.

Chronos Systems Inc., a minority-owned, black American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Suitland, Maryland, operates as a prime contractor on federal IT services, credentialing support, and facilities-management contracts with no recorded subcontractor activity. The firm is a Subchapter S corporation competing across full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside vehicles, with a portfolio spanning 38 prime awards across twelve customer agencies since 1998.

The vendor's dollar footprint is dominated by three large awards. A $17.9 million ceiling Delivery Order from the Department of Defense for credentialing support services, awarded May 1, 2023 and running through April 30, 2028, sits on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and anchors the DoD relationship. GSA Federal Acquisition Service accounts for $57.6 million combined potential value across three awards on the MAS vehicle. DoD Washington Headquarters Service represents seven awards totaling $18.8 million combined potential value. A $46.3 thousand purchase order from USAID's Bureau for Management, awarded September 2024, covered replacement of UPS batteries and fuses at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C., representing the most recent transaction.

Customer concentration sits with federal IT and facilities infrastructure customers. The top five agencies by potential value account for 95% of combined potential value, with GSA's MAS seat generating the largest single pool ($57.6 million across three awards), followed by DoD accounts ($32.1 million across two awards) and DoD Washington Headquarters Service ($18.8 million across seven awards). By award count, DoD Washington Headquarters Service leads with seven awards, the Department of the Army follows with five awards, and GSA Federal Acquisition Service and the Department of the Interior's U.S. Geological Survey each carry three awards. The vendor places 17 task orders on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (generating $51.2 million combined potential value) and holds an Indefinite Delivery Contract (DASW01-01-A-0059) with five task orders on record.

The vendor's capability portfolio clusters around IT services and facilities infrastructure support, with top NAICS categories running to Other Computer Related Services (20 awards), Custom Computer Programming Services (3 awards), and Computing Infrastructure Providers and Data Processing (2 awards). The top PSC category, IT and Telecom—Other IT and Telecommunications, encompasses 14 awards. On the GSA Multiple Award Schedule labor portfolio, Chronos offers 30 active labor categories spanning $34.77 to $169.79 per hour, covering junior application trainers and system administrators through senior hardware/software analysts and knowledge management specialists. No security-cleared positions are offered in the published GSA schedule.

Activity has been sparse in recent years — one award each in 2023 and 2024 — though the recompete cliff shows one award (the $17.9 million DoD credentialing-support delivery order) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold ran to $1.3 million in FY2023 and $3.3 million in FY2024, reflecting a workforce of 13.6 FTEs in FY2023 and 31.1 FTEs in FY2024 across prime contracts; government-paid hourly rates on these contracts clustered around a median of $49.01 per hour with minimal subcontractor engagement. The vendor operates entirely as a prime contractor with no sub-award footprint.
