Colvin Run Networks, Inc.

Colvin Run Networks, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in McLean, Virginia, operates as a defense and civilian federal R&D contractor, competing predominantly as a prime (98% of awards) under total small business set-asides across Department of Defense and civilian agency research programs. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation specializing in advanced information technology services—analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity, and cloud computing—with a dominant footprint in SBIR and STTR programs and significant exposure to space, missile warning, and naval systems development.

Colvin Run's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Department of the Navy commands. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) accounts for 10 awards valued at $4.01 billion combined potential value, anchored by a $4 billion SeaPort-NxG multiple award contract awarded January 2, 2025, running through January 1, 2029. The Air Force Research Laboratory follows with 14 awards totaling $8.4 million in potential value, primarily through SBIR Phase I and Phase II awards. Naval Air Systems Command (Naval Air Warfare Center), Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, and Naval Strategic Systems Programs round out the Navy customer set with six combined awards valued at $6.2 million. The Department of the Interior entered Colvin Run's customer base in September 2026 with two recent awards: a $70 million modernization BPA under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (Office of the CIO) and a $28.3 million BPA call (Interior Business Center) for AI modernization and infrastructure security through December 23, 2028. The top five customers account for 76% of award count and 100% of combined potential value; the Navy's NAVSEA relationship dominates both volume and dollars, while Interior's recent entries represent the largest single awards by ceiling value.

Representative prime work includes a $1.999 million definitive contract from NAVSEA (March 23, 2026) for advanced IT services—analytics, AI, machine learning, and data fusion—supporting the Space Based Infrared System High (SBIRS High) Major Defense Acquisition Program, with cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing completing March 23, 2029; a $1.8 million SBIR Phase II definitive contract from Air Force Research Laboratory (December 12, 2024) for "RAGTIME," leveraging analytics and IT solutions with firm fixed-price structure completing December 12, 2026; a $2.25 million Naval Information Warfare Systems Command R&D definitive contract (October 21, 2024, cost-plus-fixed-fee, completing May 1, 2029); and a $2.29 million Other Transaction Order from NAVSEA (September 25, 2024) covering milestone performer costs for an unspecified program completing October 16, 2026. SBIR Phase I awards cluster around $175,000 to $240,000 firm fixed-price contracts across AFRL, NAVSEA, Naval Air Warfare Center, and Naval Information Warfare Systems Command; recent Phase I completions date to mid-2026, with Phase II efforts carrying completion dates into 2026–2027.

Colvin Run holds three parent vehicles with task order activity. The SeaPort-NxG IDIQ (Naval Sea Systems Command, $4 billion ceiling, through January 2029) anchors the Navy relationship and carries two nominal-value task orders ($500 each minimum guarantee). The Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ (Missile Defense Agency, 10-year ceiling extending through December 28, 2035) was awarded December 29, 2025, with a $500 initial delivery order; the SHIELD contract encompasses R&D, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, test and evaluation, and cybersecurity across multi-domain defense systems. The Multiple Award Schedule (GSA) carries a Federal Supply Schedule contract (issued January 10, 2023, ceiling $500,000, through January 9, 2028) covering 15 IT professional services labor categories—project management, systems analysis, cybersecurity, cloud computing—at hourly rates spanning $99.73 for Project Support I (bachelor's, no experience) through $360.68 for Subject Matter Expert IV (bachelor's, 12 years' experience), with no security-cleared roles. A $70 million BPA also sits on MAS under the Office of the Chief Information Officer (September 24, 2026, through September 23, 2031) for modernization services, and Interior's $28.3 million BPA call runs against MAS as well.

Activity shows growth trajectory followed by flattening: four awards in 2023, six in 2024, ten in 2025, three in 2026, and one in 2027. Combined potential value across all 41 prime and sub awards stands at $4.12 billion, with only $31.4 million obligated (1% execution rate), reflecting the predominance of ceiling values on IDIQs and BPAs versus task-order obligations. Within the next twenty-four months, four awards totaling $7.4 million in potential value reach ultimate completion, creating modest recompete exposure. The vendor subcontracts minimally—one sub award (2%) to Serco Inc. on a NAVSEA Professional Support Services task (January 20, 2023)—and does not appear as a named subcontractor on other primes in this dataset. SCI-reported service contract activity is negligible: only one SCI record, as a subcontractor, with 0.6 FTEs in FY2024, indicating that Colvin Run's federal footprint is dominated by R&D contract activity and IDV vehicles above or outside SCI's $150,000 threshold coverage.

NAICS concentration skews heavily toward research and development: 26 awards fall under NAICS 541711 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), five under NAICS 541722 (Nanotechnology R&D), three under Engineering Services, and three under Other Computer Related Services. PSC coding mirrors this R&D posture, with 12 awards coded to National Defense R&D—Applied Research, five to DoD Military—Applied Research, and four each to Basic Research and Experimental Development. All 41 awards carry total small business set-aside designations except the three IDIQs (SHIELD, SeaPort-NxG, and MAS BPA), which competed full-and-open. Colvin Run operates exclusively under set-aside protection on all smaller definitive contracts and SBIR/STTR efforts, with set-aside categories confined to total small business rather than 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or women-owned designations.
