Communications Resource Inc.

Communications Resource Inc., doing business as C R I, is a women-owned small business based in McLean, Virginia, that provides physical security and surveillance solutions—including physical access control systems (PACS) installation and maintenance, video management system upgrades, intrusion detection system deployment, and electronic security system design and maintenance—to federal civilian agencies exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). C R I holds SBA certifications as a Women-Owned Small Business and Small Disadvantaged Business, operates as a Subchapter S Corporation, and is also certified as Hispanic American-owned. The vendor operates across NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services) and PSC 6350 (miscellaneous alarm and security detection systems) with over 25 years of federal security infrastructure experience.

C R I's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward civilian agencies and IT modernization customers. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 29% of recent awards: the National Institute of Standards and Technology (117 awards, $23.8 million combined potential value), two Department of Agriculture offices (88 and 82 awards respectively), the US Census Bureau (66 awards, $6.3 million), and the Department of Agriculture Office of Procurement and Property Management (57 awards, $23.2 million). The top five customers by potential value account for 8% of combined potential value; GSA Federal Acquisition Service leads at $37.1 million across 16 awards, followed by NIST at $23.8 million. C R I's activity trajectory shows modest recent volatility—13 awards in 2022 and 2023, rising to 21 in 2024, then declining to 12 in 2025 and 7 year-to-date in 2026—with 15 awards (combined potential value $190.2 million) reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months and facing recompete.

C R I's vehicle footprint centers on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, under which 300 task orders carry $98 million in combined potential value, alongside three large-value indefinite-delivery contracts with the Department of Agriculture (AG3142C090004, 157 task orders, $48.1 million; and 533142021015, 153 task orders, $10.9 million) and a single-award IDIQ with NIST (6 million dollars, ultimate completion November 7, 2026). Recent representative work includes a $4.5 million time-and-materials delivery order from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for Electronic Security System administration, maintenance, monitoring, and repair at the Division of Physical Security Operations (awarded August 2024, completion August 2029); a $3.35 million firm fixed-price sole-source women-owned small business contract from the US Census Bureau for Lenel OnGuard access control system and CCTV preventative and corrective maintenance through May 2027; a $1.9 million total small business delivery order from the Department of State's Office of the Secretary for Modernized Physical Access Control & Security Systems upgrade support (awarded September 2023, completion September 2026); and a $10.7 million NARA total small business Blanket Purchase Agreement for comprehensive physical security infrastructure protection systems services (awarded September 2024, ultimate completion September 2025), under which four significant BPA calls have been issued for video management system upgrades, PACS implementations, and surveillance system work at presidential libraries and NARA facilities nationwide.

C R I also holds a seat on the OASIS+ Total Small Business Set-Aside IDIQ (awarded April 2025, completion April 2030, ceiling $999,999,999,999 placeholder) and an OASIS+ Women-Owned Small Business IDIQ (awarded September 2024, completion September 2029, ceiling $999,999,999,999 placeholder), positioning the vendor as eligible to bid task orders across federal civilian agencies on both programs. The vendor maintains a GSA Federal Supply Schedule with 38 active labor categories spanning administrative, database administration, IT quality assurance, system development management, application design engineering, program management, and IT strategic planning roles; hourly rates run from $50.34 to $225.72 with education requirements from high school through bachelor's degree and no security-cleared labor offered. On federal service contracts captured in the Service Contract Inventory (FY2022–FY2024), C R I reported SCI-reportable invoicing of $63.2 million across 31 prime records, with FY2024 invoicing at $20.9 million across 46.6 FTEs and median government-paid rates around $161.15 per hour, ranging from $17.00 per hour at the 10th percentile to $345.46 per hour at the 90th percentile. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed roughly 9% of total contractor hours, suggesting C R I primarily builds its own delivery teams; the vendor operates as a prime on all identified awards with no documented subcontractor relationships. Set-aside posture skews toward total small business and women-owned small business designations; of the 1,417 prime awards in the source footprint, approximately 40% carry total small business, woman-owned small business sole source, or woman-owned small business set-aside designations, with the remainder issued full-and-open or without set-aside designation.
