About the company
Cloudwave Inc., a minority-owned, Subcontinent Asian American-owned for-profit company headquartered in McLean, Virginia, operates predominantly as a subcontractor (96% of awards) providing computer programming, DevOps support, and IT operations and maintenance services to federal agencies, with recent prime contract positions on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and the Missile Defense Agency's Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) contract vehicle. The company holds SBA small disadvantaged business certification and operates a minority-owned subsidiary, Cloudwave Technology Venture LLC, which carries joint-venture women-owned and economically disadvantaged women-owned small business designations.
Cloudwave's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in GSA IT operations work. The GSA Office of the Chief Information Officer accounts for 107 of 112 total awards (96% of award count), driven almost entirely by subcontract delivery orders under IBM as prime on Alliant II, where Cloudwave has executed 106 task orders for GSA IT operations and maintenance development support services, DevOps support, and computer programming. The remaining awards split between a $5.4 million Total Small Business set-aside delivery order from the Corporation for National and Community Service Office of Procurement Services for data management and training professional services (closed June 2026 with de-obligation of $780,254.78); a $249,566 delivery order from GSA's Office of the Chief Information Officer for CLOUDWAVE AI services under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule; a $500 thousand ceiling Multiple Award Schedule contract with the GSA Federal Acquisition Service (awarded October 2021, ultimate completion October 2026); and two awards on the Missile Defense Agency's SHIELD contract vehicle (a January 2026 indefinite delivery contract with $151 billion ceiling and a $500 initial delivery order). Cloudwave maintains a minority-owned subsidiary relationship with Cloudwave Technology Venture LLC but competes full-and-open on most vehicles; recent prime awards show no set-aside designations except the Total Small Business set-aside on the data management order.
The GSA Multiple Award Schedule carries 40 labor categories spanning business analysis, development, architecture, quality assurance, and program management, with hourly rates ranging from $62.33 per hour (Programmer/Analyst Junior, associate's degree) to $211.30 per hour (Cloud IT Subject Matter Expert Senior, bachelor's degree with 10 years' experience). No security-cleared roles are offered on the schedule. Across the SCI dataset, Cloudwave recorded roughly 20 to 24 FTEs in federal service contract work in FY2022 and FY2024 (6 total SCI records, all as named subcontractor, 0 as prime), indicating that the vast majority of the vendor's federal volume runs through sub engagement on larger primes rather than as reportable prime service contracts. The gap between combined potential value of $6.2 million and combined obligated dollars of $22.4 million reflects the heavy concentration of recurring small task orders under Alliant II that individually carry low ceilings but accumulate significant total spend.
Cloudwave operates almost exclusively as a feeder to IBM on GSA IT operations work, with one material subcontract to Leidos (a September 2024 travelers processing vetting software task order with performance through September 2025). Recent activity shows sharp concentration in FY2024 and FY2025 (59 and 49 awards respectively) driven by the Alliant II task order volume, with only two awards in 2026 to date. The SHIELD contract vehicle carries significant strategic weight despite minimal current volume — the $151 billion ceiling and December 2035 ultimate completion date position Cloudwave for potential growth into defense R&D and prototyping work if task orders materialize, but the current footprint shows the vendor as an IBM sub on GSA civilian IT maintenance rather than a SHIELD prime driver.
