Chugach Information Technology LLC

Chugach Information Technology LLC, an Alaska Native Corporation-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, operates as a prime contractor (94% of recent awards) delivering engineering services, IT systems integration, naval combat-systems support, and equipment procurement to the Department of Defense. The vendor is a tribally owned, minority-owned subsidiary of Chugach Government Solutions, LLC and competes predominantly full-and-open rather than under set-asides, with notable 8(a) sole-source and competitive designations on specific vehicle work.

The vendor's customer base concentrates heavily in Navy platforms. The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command accounts for 334 awards valued at $605 million combined potential value, followed by Naval Sea Systems Command with 111 awards and $5.3 billion combined potential value—a substantial divergence signal indicating that NAVSEA orders carry far higher unit values despite lower order counts. Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard (32 awards, $342.4 million), Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support (9 awards, $90.3 million), and the Department of the Navy United States Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) (40 awards, $4.4 million) round out the top five. Together these five customers account for 78% of awards and 14% of combined potential value.

Chugach holds three primary vehicle positions anchoring its prime delivery. An Indefinite Delivery Contract (N6523617D8002) supports 108 task orders valued at $16.9 million combined potential, while IDC N6523617D8007 carries 79 task orders worth $20.8 million. An 8(a) Streamlined Technology Acquisition Resources for Services (8a STARS II) GWAC position generated 13 task orders valued at $35.5 million. The vendor also operates on the Chief Information Officer-Solutions and Partners 3 Small Business (CIO-SP3 SB) GWAC and holds a newly awarded seat on the Missile Defense Agency's Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ, a $151 billion multiple-award vehicle awarded December 29, 2025, with ultimate completion December 28, 2035.

Capability portfolio centers on Navy combat-systems engineering and shipboard integration. Representative prime work includes a $1.58 million delivery order from Naval Air Warfare Center (July 2025) for collaborative briefing systems aboard USS George Washington (CVN-77); a $1.54 million Naval Air Warfare Center delivery order (May 2024) for collaborative briefing systems on USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76), with subcontracted IT equipment from RGB Systems (Extron Electronics), touchscreen displays from Planar Systems, and metalwork from TST Fab & Machine; a $7.07 million U.S. Coast Guard delivery order (March 2022) for Unclassified Common Operational Picture engineering development services under CIO-SP3 SB, with ManTech Advanced Systems International providing primary software development; and a $72.9 million Defense Logistics Agency IDIQ for network infrastructure support services running through June 2025, from which multiple task orders issued for site surveys and installation work across DLA locations in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. Cable assembly procurements and equipment components (radomes, handsets, bridge display units, audio-visual systems) to DLA Aviation and Land & Maritime round out the goods-oriented portfolio, typically valued between $100 thousand and $700 thousand per order.

Activity trajectory shows volatility followed by growth. The source spans 2022–2026; awards per year ran 15 (2022), 7 (2023), 26 (2024), 28 (2025), and 2 (through January 2026). This pattern reflects vehicle recompete timing and task-order issuance clustering rather than consistent ramp. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $646 thousand), indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure across the prime portfolio.

On SCI-reportable service contracts above the $150 thousand threshold, Chugach invoiced $9 million in FY2022 across 47.7 FTEs, declining to $4.8 million and 21.6 FTEs in FY2023 and further to $3.2 million and 17.6 FTEs in FY2024. This reflects the shift toward task-order delivery against larger vehicle ceilings rather than standalone service contracts. Median government-paid hourly rates on prime SCI contracts ran $90.19/hr, with the 10th percentile at $66.84/hr and the 90th percentile at $153.23/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for roughly 3% of total contractor hours, with five named subs reported; the vendor builds most delivery teams internally rather than leaning on subcontractor labor share.

In its subcontractor role, Chugach delivers engineering and technical support across Naval combat-systems programs. Named primes include Science Applications International Corporation (multiple CANES, TACNET, and CB-ISEA task orders for Fleet Integration, SOVT support, and ILS since 2024), The Mil Corporation (MSE technical support task orders, 2024–2026), General Dynamics Information Technology (NAWCAD Wolf Ship and Air C5ISR systems support, October 2025), Huntington Ingalls (CVN-80/81 detailed design and construction engineering support, 2024), Battelle Memorial Institute (network support and DTSS labor, 2022–2024), G2 Software Systems (JMINI engineering and system maintenance, 2022–2024), and several others. Subcontract work is predominantly Navy platform engineering rather than standalone IT services, reflecting Chugach's position as a technical integrator within larger ship-systems primes.

The vendor's GSA Schedule offering spans 19 labor categories, ranging from $67.08/hr (IT Systems Security Officer with high school education and two years' experience) through $153.28/hr (Subject Matter Expert), with no security-cleared roles. Representative mid-spectrum categories include Programmer/Analyst at $80.58/hr, IT Systems Security Analyst at $92.56/hr, and Database Systems Architect at $114.71/hr—all requiring high school education and experience ranging from 5 to 15 years.

Combined potential value across all 696 awards (prime and sub) totals $46.46 billion, though only $333.6 million (1% of potential value) has been obligated to date, reflecting the nascent SHIELD vehicle award and the prevalence of task-order vehicles with ceiling values that dwarf order intake. The vendor has worked with 37 distinct customer agencies, with Navy information-warfare and combat-systems platforms dominating the footprint by both order count and dollar concentration.
