Colsa Corp

Colsa Corp, a Huntsville, Alabama-based self-certified small disadvantaged business and HUBZone joint venture, operates as a prime contractor (98% of awards) delivering systems engineering, software development, tactical communications infrastructure, data link test tools, and technical support services to defense, civilian space, and intelligence agencies on full-and-open federal contracts and government-wide acquisition vehicles. The company competes without set-aside restriction across its portfolio, though its SDB and HUBZone status anchors selection on mixed-set and unrestricted vehicles; recent work spans the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NIWS), Missile Defense Agency, Air Force, Army, and NASA, with particular depth in command-and-control systems, unmanned systems integration, and federal IT modernization.

Colsa operates as a Subchapter S corporation with two named subsidiaries: F.C.A. Properties, Inc. (minority-owned, veteran-owned, SDVOSB) and Colsa Solutions Inc. (veteran-owned, SDVOSB). The parent entity holds a dense portfolio of federal contract vehicles positioned across defense and civilian acquisition channels. Prime IDIQs include a $400 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract with NASA's Shared Services Center for functional support services (financial management, human resources, procurement, enterprise services) at Huntsville and John C. Stennis Space Center; a $59.4 million single-award IDIQ with Naval Information Warfare Systems Command for DLTT, gateway systems, and mini-rack development and technical support; and a $95.1 million multiple-award IDIQ with Army PEO Simulation, Training and Instrumentation for aerial target systems field engineering and support. Colsa also holds seats on five government-wide vehicles: SEWP VI (NASA IT procurement, $20 billion ceiling, awarded November 2026), OASIS+ Unrestricted (GSA, $999.999 trillion ceiling, multiple-award, December 2024), OASIS+ Total Small Business (GSA, $999.999 trillion ceiling, small-business set-aside, December 2024), SHIELD (Missile Defense Agency, $151 billion ceiling, full-and-open, December 2025), Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract or EWAAC (Air Force, $46 billion ceiling, multiple-award, March 2023), and positions on ASTRO (GSA FEDSIM, $999.999 trillion ceiling, three separate multiple-award vehicles, November 2021), TETRAS II (Air Force Materiel Command, $999.950 billion ceiling, June 2023), and Seaport-NXG (Navy multiple-award IDIQ). Additional vehicles include the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Architecture and Integration Directorate IDIQ ($900 million, June 2023), the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center Test and Evaluation BPA ($249 million, January 2022), and the Office of the Secretary of Defense JAIC AI Data Readiness BOA ($249 million, March 2022).

Customer concentration by award count centers on the Department of the Army (621 awards), Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (373 awards, $477.2 million combined potential value), Defense Intelligence Agency (156 awards), Naval Sea Systems Command (106 awards, $13.1 million), and Missile Defense Agency (99 awards, $2.02 billion). By dollar value, the Air Force dominates at $46.9 billion combined potential (13 awards—reflecting massive EWAAC and SHIELD ceiling exposure), followed by NASA ($20 billion, 9 awards including the $400 million functional services IDIQ and $20 billion SEWP VI award), Army PEO Simulation Training and Instrumentation ($17.63 billion, 10 awards including the $95.1 million ATS-3 IDIQ), Missile Defense Agency ($2.02 billion), and Air Force Materiel Command ($1.31 billion, 26 awards). The concentration figures reflect 82% of combined potential value across these five customers. Recent task-order activity shows sustained ordering volume under the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command single-award $55 million data link test tools IDIQ (N6600108D0042, 169 task orders at $12.8 million combined) and a competing NIWS IDIQ (N6600108D0098, 168 task orders at $54.7 million), with consistent secondary activity under MDA vehicle N6600108D0011 (111 task orders) and NIWS IDIQ N6600116D0025 (85 task orders, $42.7 million).

Concrete capability work spans three principal domains.

Fourteen awards with ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $38.2 million, representing moderate recompete exposure. The 1,947 total awards in the source dataset span 1,983–2026, with distinct customer agencies reaching 71 entities. Engineering Services dominates the NAICS profile (653 awards), followed by Computer Systems Design Services (185 awards) and Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (176 awards). Top PSC codes reflect systems engineering and defense R&D: Support Professional Engineering/Technical (277 awards), Maintenance/Repair of Communication and Detection Equipment (234 awards), and National Defense R&D Services (176 awards). Colsa operates as a prime contractor on nearly all work, with only 2% of awards in sub positions, primarily supporting HX5 LLC on Engineering, Professional, and Administrative Support Services at Eglin Air Force Base Armament Directorate, Torch Technologies on Aviation Mission Systems architecture, Science Applications International Corporation on software lifecycle development, Oasis Systems on Cyber Test Group labor, and CACI on NASA Consolidated Application and Platform Services—reflecting a tightly focused sub footprint concentrated on large-prime federal vehicles where Colsa delivers labor and technical expertise rather than prime-contract scope.
