Pavion Corp.

Pavion Corp., doing business as Ctsi, is a service-based systems integrator that delivers audiovisual, fire-safety, security, and communications infrastructure to federal agencies as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards). The company operates from Chantilly, Virginia, competes predominantly full-and-open (no SBA set-asides characterize the prime footprint, though several individual awards carry Total Small Business designations), and operates multiple subsidiaries including Casey Fire Systems Inc., AFA Protective Systems Inc., Integrated Security Solutions Inc., and Star Asset Security LLC, each serving specialized security and fire-protection capability areas.

Pavion's federal work centers on design, installation, maintenance, and refresh of audiovisual systems, including video teleconferencing, collaboration rooms, digital signage, and war room displays; physical-security infrastructure such as access control, intrusion detection, CCTV, and video surveillance; and emergency-response systems including nurse call, fire alarm, and public-address solutions. Representative prime work includes a $8.5 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health (Office of the Director) for audiovisual design, installation, and maintenance services across the NIH campus (through May 2024); a $589,500 delivery order with the Department of Veterans Affairs (Veterans Integrated Service Network 1) for nurse call and code blue system testing and maintenance at a VA facility in Brockton, Massachusetts (through July 2029); a $274,160 purchase order from the VA (VISN 5) for nurse call system upgrade at the Washington, D.C. VA Medical Center (through February 2025); and recurring orders for Navy war room collaboration system upgrades, Air Force videoconference installations, and Army audiovisual equipment at domestic and overseas locations including South Korea and Japan.

Customer concentration is sharp by dollar value and more distributed by award count. The top customer by potential value is the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, representing 16 awards worth $23.5 million combined potential value (16% of the total portfolio). The National Institutes of Health Office of the Director accounts for 8 awards, $8.7 million. Below that, the Department of the Air Force (32 awards, $2.1 million), the U.S. Marine Corps (21 awards, $1.6 million), and the Air Education and Training Command (24 awards, $1.4 million) round out the top five customers by count. The top five customers by dollar value account for 26% of combined potential value, indicating a highly diversified customer base across 228 distinct federal agencies. The NIH concentration—with HHS Clinical Center and Office of the Director together representing $32.2 million across 24 awards—reflects sustained audiovisual and facility-infrastructure relationships at that agency.

Pavion operates across the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) as a dominant vehicle: 335 task orders on MAS carry $37.4 million in combined potential value. The vendor also holds positions on Indefinite Delivery Contracts through HHS (13 task orders, $7.6 million), Alliant II (5 task orders), and Federal Supply Schedule vehicles. The MAS position allows the vendor to respond to task orders from any federal agency without further competition; this vehicle concentration explains the broad customer distribution and the vendor's ability to sustain recurring work across Defense, civilian health agencies, and others.

Activity trajectory shows volatility rather than sustained growth. The vendor logged 22 awards in 2022, declining to 14 in 2023 and remaining flat at 14 in 2024, then dropping to 8 in 2025 and 3 through early July 2026. Combined potential value across all 782 awards (prime and sub) stands at $145.6 million, with $68.7 million obligated (47% realization rate). Only 4 awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, carrying $488 thousand combined potential value—a minimal recompete cliff, suggesting most of the active portfolio extends beyond two years or has been completed.

The NAICS footprint underscores the vendor's core: All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (311 awards), Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing (141), Electronic Computer Manufacturing (47), and other equipment and installation codes. Top PSC codes align: Video Recording and Reproducing Equipment (79 awards), Miscellaneous Communication Equipment (64), Information Technology Support Equipment (41).

Service Contract Inventory captures only 8 records (3 as prime, 5 as named subcontractor) above the $150,000 threshold across FY2022–FY2024, with $129 thousand in prime invoicing in FY2023 and negligible FY2024 activity in the SCI dataset—a strict subset reflecting the vendor's reliance on purchase orders, delivery orders, and equipment-driven contracts rather than large service-staffing arrangements. SCI-reported FTE trajectory shows 0.2 FTEs in FY2023 and 8.1 FTEs in FY2024 (including sub-engagement), with the FY2024 figure reflecting activity under General Dynamics contracts. GSA Schedule labor rates span $84.33 to $196.78 per hour across 22 categories, including Project Administrator, Audio Visual Journeyman Technician, Nurse Call Technician, and Electrician, with most roles requiring security clearance and ranging from high-school to bachelor's-level education.

Pavion operates as a prime on 774 of its 782 awards (99%), with only 8 sub-award records—primarily on General Dynamics Information Technology and General Dynamics One Source contracts involving facility and security-operations services. The vendor's subcontract footprint is negligible; it functions predominantly as a systems integrator and prime contractor rather than as a feeder to larger defense primes. The $675 million Electronic Security System Generation 7 IDIQ with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville, cited repeatedly in award descriptions but not separately itemized in the current source snapshot, anchors the vendor's largest single vehicle position and positions it for DoD installations' security infrastructure work. The combination of the NIH BPA, MAS position, and the Army Corps ESS VII contract vehicle creates a multi-agency, multi-sector prime posture typical of mid-market systems integrators operating at the federal installation and facility level.
