Constellation Software Engineering, LLC

Constellation Software Engineering, LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business headquartered in Annapolis, Maryland, delivers software development, engineering support, project management, IT services, and cybersecurity solutions to federal agencies primarily as a prime contractor (89% of recent awards), competing predominantly under SDVOSB and Total Small Business set-asides across government-wide acquisition contracts and agency-specific IDIQs. The vendor holds SBA certifications as both a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and Veteran-Owned Small Business through March 19, 2028, operates as a for-profit limited liability corporation, and manages three named subsidiaries: CSE Vets LLC (SDVOSB), RNS Ventures LLC (minority-owned SDVOSB joint venture), and Alpine Testing Solutions Inc.

Constellation's customer base spans 38 federal agencies with highly concentrated potential value in three anchors. NASA accounts for $40 billion in combined potential value across three awards, driven almost entirely by two recent SEWP VI GWAC seats (one Partial Small Business and one Total Small Business set-aside, each with $20 billion ceilings through October 2036). Below NASA, the Department of Commerce (NOAA) holds $3.01 billion, the GSA Federal Acquisition Service $1.02 billion, and the Department of Transportation (FAA) $1.01 billion. By award count, NASA Goddard Space Center leads with 25 awards ($24.1 million potential value), followed by GSA Federal Acquisition Service with 10 awards ($1.02 billion), and the Coast Guard with 8 awards ($32.9 million). This concentration masks a secondary revenue driver: the GSA awards include multiple POLARIS GWAC seats (SDVOSB pool with no specified ceiling through December 2030, and Total Small Business pool through January 2030) and OASIS+ vehicles (Total Small Business IDIQ through December 2029, SDVOSB IDIQ through September 2029), where Constellation competes for task orders across all federal agencies.

Constellation holds seven major parent vehicles spanning government-wide GWACs, agency-wide IDIQs, BPAs, and GSA Schedules. The SEWP VI GWACs (both the Partial Small Business and Total Small Business pools, NASA) carry the $20 billion-per-vehicle ceiling through October 2036. The POLARIS GWACs (GSA, SDVOSB and Total Small Business pools) carry no specified ceiling through December 2030 and January 2030 respectively. The OASIS+ Total Small Business IDIQ (GSA, $999.999 billion ceiling through December 2029) has generated 20 task orders valued at $68.2 million, with recent orders including a $264,317 Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency case-management delivery order (September 2025) and a $2.07 million Air Education and Training Command program-management and construction-inspection order at Laughlin Air Force Base (September 2025). The OASIS+ SDVOSB IDIQ (GSA, $999.999 billion ceiling through September 2029) complements the Total Small Business pool. The Missile Defense Agency's Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ carries a $151 billion ceiling through December 2035 (full-and-open, no set-aside) with an initial $500 delivery order issued in December 2025. Constellation also holds a $5.005 million single-award DEA IDC (SDVOSB, through June 2026) supporting the Enforcement Programs and Information Center, a $631 million VA Technology Acquisition Center BPA against the Multiple Award Schedule (SDVOSB, through August 2031), a $900 million Air Force Life Cycle Management Center IDIQ (no set-aside, through November 2027), and a $15 million Office of the Secretary of Defense Basic Ordering Agreement for AI Data Readiness (through March 2027). Constellation places 14 task orders on the GSA Federal Supply Schedule (GSA Schedule labor portfolio: 95 active labor categories spanning $35.94–$251.07 hourly, associate through master's education, no security-cleared roles).

Recent representative prime work includes a $3.21 million Air Force MAS delivery order for temporary engineering services supporting the Sentinel A3 beddown at Francis E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming (awarded November 2024, firm fixed-price through November 2029); an $18.06 million Chief of Naval Operations MAS delivery order for JAG Enterprise Cloud Environment sustainment managed services at Cape St Claire, Maryland (awarded September 2023, firm fixed-price through December 2028, with 49% of contractor hours subcontracted in FY2024); a $1.25 million Air Force Research Laboratory Phase II SBIR contract for HADRON, a decentralized data-storage solution for air-gapped environments (awarded May 2025, firm fixed-price through February 2027); a $239,003 Naval Strategic Systems Programs Phase I SBIR contract (awarded July 2025, total-small-business set-aside through January 2026); and a $2.786 million Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 MAS delivery order for construction management services in Cheyenne, Wyoming (awarded September 2024, firm fixed-price through September 2029, 3.2 FTEs and $454 thousand invoiced in FY2025 with no subcontractor engagement). Multiple construction-management and program-support orders under the MAS from the Veterans Affairs system, Air Force, and Coast Guard reflect recurring Constellation capability in facilities and project delivery.

Constellation operates predominantly as a prime on its own delivery teams. Across SCI-reportable contracts, the vendor self-performed 89% of contractor hours on average; across 33 SCI prime records spanning FY2022–FY2025, 11 named subcontractors contributed an average 11% of total hours. In subcontractor capacity, Constellation feeds work to BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services (integration and engineering services on ICBM weapon systems, recurring through 2024), ASRC Federal System Solutions (program analysis and control for NASA installations, recurring through 2025), Space Network Solutions (multidiscipline engineering support), Sikich Federal (cybersecurity operations center support for Indian Health Service), and others. The vendor reports consistent federal delivery across SCI: FY2022 invoiced $5.8 million across 22.3 FTEs; FY2023 $4.2 million across 11.7 FTEs; FY2024 scaled to $9.4 million across 50.5 FTEs; FY2025 $3.5 million across 31.4 FTEs. Derived government-paid hourly rates on prime SCI contracts run a median $114.86, ranging from $60.96 at the 10th percentile to $206.47 at the 90th percentile, reflecting a mix of engineering, program management, and administrative labor.

Activity over the past five years shows two awards in 2022, 13 in 2023, 13 in 2024, 10 in 2025, and 6 in 2026 (through early November). Five awards totaling $4.6 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating moderate recompete exposure. The $46.8 billion combined potential value across all 158 awards (140 prime, 18 sub) is heavily skewed by the three recent NASA awards ($40 billion) and the SHIELD IDIQ ($151 billion ceiling, though only $500 obligated to date); obligated dollars across all awards total $179.6 million, representing 0% of the inflated potential-value aggregate. The vendor's award portfolio concentrates across Engineering Services (35 awards), Administrative Management and General Management Consulting (27 awards), Custom Computer Programming (25 awards), Computer Systems Design Services (20 awards), and Research and Development in Physical and Engineering Sciences (18 awards), with PSC codes clustering in Support–Professional: Engineering/Technical (27 awards), Support–Professional: Other (15 awards), and IT and Telecom–Systems Analysis (10 awards).
