Cyone Inc.

Cyone Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Aberdeen, Maryland, delivers commercial intelligence application software, software engineering support, and integration services to the Department of the Army as a prime contractor (55% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor under research and development vehicle work. The company competes predominantly full-and-open; no set-aside designations appear across the prime awards, though self-certification as a small disadvantaged business is consistent.

Cyone's footprint is heavily concentrated in Army intelligence and targeting programs. The top customer by both volume and dollar value is the Department of the Army's Program Executive Office for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors, which accounts for 9 awards and $52.5 million in combined potential value—roughly 84% of all dollars. The broader Department of the Army carries an additional 24 awards (primarily through other offices and divisional buyers) valued at $9.7 million. The remaining customer base includes the Air Force Space Command Space and Missile Systems Center, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, GSA, and the Missile Defense Agency. This concentration is stark: PEO IEW&S alone represents the overwhelming majority of invoiced work and potential value.

Cyone's capability portfolio centers on intelligence applications software development, licensing, and sustainment for Army targeting systems. The company delivers software-only solutions that capture and track intelligence support attributes through a single user interface, enabling threat analysis and command decision support. Concrete representative work includes a $6.6 million delivery order (awarded April 2026, running through March 2027) for commercial intelligence application support to targeting under the Army's primary IDIQ; a $25.3 million delivery order (awarded July 2022, completion September 2024) procuring testing, exercise support, security certification, interoperability testing, and licensing for the Intelligence Support to Targeting requirement; and a $570.2 million licensing and sustainment order (awarded July 2025, running through July 2026) supporting Army intelligence applications. Task order activity shows a pattern of repeated procurements for functional configuration audits, engineering change proposals addressing cyber vulnerabilities, exercise support, and software licensing renewals.

Cyone holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with PEO IEW&S (contract W56KGY22D0006), valued at $25.1 million with an ultimate completion date of July 19, 2027, covering commercial software solutions for Army intelligence and targeting requirements. This vehicle anchors the prime footprint—18 of the company's task orders, carrying $37.1 million in combined potential value, flow through this single IDIQ. Cyone also sits on the GSA OASIS+ Total Small Business Set-Aside GWAC (awarded December 2024, running through December 2029) with a multi-billion-dollar ceiling, a GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (awarded January 2023, running through January 2028) valued at $475 thousand covering 15 labor categories in software engineering, systems engineering, security, and integration at rates ranging from $142.45 to $214.79 per hour (all roles require bachelor's or master's degrees and security clearances), and holds a seat on the recently awarded Missile Defense Agency's Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ, a $151 billion multiple-award vehicle for multi-domain defense systems research and development. The SHIELD position is newly minted (December 2025) with an initial $500 task order.

In the subcontractor role, Cyone works under Parsons Government Services Inc. on the Intelligence Development Enabled Awareness & Solutions (IDEAS) program, providing research, development, integration, enhancement, and sustainment of intelligence software systems. This sub work, captured in multiple modifications dated September 2023 through November 2024, addresses PEO IEW&S intelligence applications development and is ongoing.

Activity has grown unevenly—two awards in 2022 to sixteen in 2023, declining to ten in 2024, and recovering to twelve in 2025—with only three awards recorded in 2026 through April. The company faces a modest recompete cliff: two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $7.1 million, neither on the primary PEO IEW&S IDIQ (which runs through July 2027). By category, the footprint is dominated by software publishers (19 awards) and research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences (17 awards), reflecting the intelligence software and integration focus.
