Cloud Nine Technologies Inc.

Cloud Nine Technologies Inc., a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Herndon, Virginia, delivers IT operations, systems modernization, and administrative support services to federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor on 95% of its recent awards. The company is structured as a Subcontinent Asian American-owned Subchapter S corporation and competes predominantly under full-and-open procurement rather than set-asides, though it holds an 8(a) Sole Source BPA with the Federal Aviation Administration that carries $11.8 million in ceiling value.

Cloud Nine's customer base concentrates heavily on the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The top five funding entities account for 67% of awards by count and 100% of combined potential value, with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office anchoring 18 awards valued at $43.1 million and HUD's Office of the Chief Financial Officer holding 11 awards at $25.2 million. The Federal Aviation Administration Headquarters contributes 4 awards at $21.8 million. A significant anomaly in the potential-value rankings is the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health NITAAC Office of Information Technology Acquisition, which appears as a $40 billion combined potential value across 2 awards — likely representing a ceiling on an indefinite-delivery vehicle rather than task-order execution. Recent prime work includes a $781,867 delivery order from HUD for Inventory Management System Public Housing Information Center (IMS/PIC) business support under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (awarded June 29, 2026, with completion June 30, 2027), and a $11.8 million 8(a) Sole Source BPA modification with FAA's eFAST for operations and maintenance support of the Real Estate Management System (REMS) and Automated Inventory Tracking System (AITS) through September 30, 2026.

Cloud Nine places the majority of its work under five parent vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract DU208WP15D02 (9 task orders, $9.1 million), the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (7 task orders, $10.2 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract DU203NP15D09 (7 task orders, $2.1 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract DU208WP15D04 (5 task orders, $3.2 million), and the Electronic FAA Accelerated and Simplified Tasks BPA (3 task orders, $21.8 million). The vendor's award portfolio reflects episodic rather than sustained activity — one award in each of 2021 and 2023, two in 2024, and one in 2026 — with only two awards valued at $12.5 million combined facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. Across its top NAICS categories, Cloud Nine concentrates in Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (25 awards), Telephone Answering Services (10 awards), and Custom Computer Programming Services (9 awards), with Computer Systems Design Services accounting for 7 awards.

On its GSA Multiple Award Schedule, Cloud Nine prices labor across 21 active categories spanning $84.83 to $206.54 per hour, with no security-cleared positions offered. Labor roles range from Application Engineer/IT Analyst I at the entry level ($84.83/hr, bachelor's degree, two years' experience) through Program Manager II at the senior end ($206.54/hr, master's degree, ten years' experience), covering systems analysts, software testers, and computer scientists at mid-spectrum rates around $100–$140 per hour. Service Contract Inventory data for FY2022–FY2024 shows SCI-reportable invoiced revenue of $5 million across 17 prime records, with $1.1 million in FY2022, zero in FY2023, and $3.8 million in FY2024, representing roughly 4.3 FTEs in FY2022 and 18.7 FTEs in FY2024. Government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts averaged a median of $112.81 per hour, with the 10th percentile at $85.95 per hour and the 90th percentile at $140.55 per hour. As a subcontractor, Cloud Nine performs Public and Indian Housing IT development, modernization, and enhancement work to Spatial Front Inc. and Deloitte Consulting LLP under HUD task orders, with sub awards from September 2024, June 2024, and November 2023. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Cloud Nine performs zero percent of hours through subcontractors, indicating it builds its own delivery teams rather than relying on subs.
