D3 Systems, Inc.

D3 Systems, Inc., a for-profit market and social science research company based in Tysons, Virginia, delivers public opinion polling, media landscape assessments, and qualitative research to federal agencies as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations. The vendor operates predominantly under a single large Blanket Purchase Agreement vehicle and conducts surveys and focus groups in support of U.S. foreign policy, public diplomacy, and global media initiatives.

Customer concentration is extreme and decision-relevant: the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) accounts for 49 of 87 total awards (56% by count) with $23.4 million combined potential value (86% of total portfolio), while the Department of State's Bureau of Intelligence and Research carries 24 awards with $3.2 million. The remaining customer agencies—USAID, State's regional bureaus, and USAGM subordinate components—constitute less than 1% of combined potential value. This concentration reflects D3's anchor position under a $20 million single-award BPA with USAGM running through July 2028, from which 36 task orders have been issued at roughly $78 thousand per order. Beneath that vehicle sits an older USAGM BPA (95170023A0245) carrying 8 task orders worth $830 thousand combined.

D3's work product is granular and geographically dispersed. Representative prime awards include a $735,771 purchase order from State's Bureau of Intelligence and Research for public opinion research (completion July 2025), a $256,937 USAGM BPA call for the Tajikistan National Survey (completed September 2023), a $239,590 call for the Kazakhstan NS QT audience-research project (completed March 2025), and multiple sub-$200 thousand orders for country-specific media research in Mexico, Colombia, Turkey, Iran, Nigeria, and Niger. Several BPA calls explicitly support USAGM's International Broadcasting Act mandate to measure and inform network programming abroad. Recent awards cluster in 2023 (13 awards) and 2022 (8 awards); activity has declined materially in 2024–2026 (9 awards combined), signaling either maturation of the USAGM BPA or completion of discrete projects. Only three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $296 thousand), which limits near-term recompete exposure but also suggests the bulk of the portfolio is already obligated or completed.

D3's subcontract footprint is minimal—two named subs under Peraton Inc. (operational planning and assessment services for the Department of Defense, awarded April 2026) and an undisclosed prime (AMELA project modification, June 2023)—and a single federal grant as recipient: a cooperative agreement with West Point Military Academy for oath-to-the-constitution focus groups (completed September 2023). The vendor's capability profile, as grounded in award history, centers on quantitative and qualitative survey design, focus-group implementation, and media-audience research for U.S. foreign policy and public diplomacy customers, with no evidence of IT engineering or infrastructure work despite generic language in some award summaries suggesting "IT and professional services." The NAICS distribution (80 of 83 awards in 541910—Marketing Research and Public Opinion Polling) confirms this specialization. The vendor's federal footprint is civilian, with no direct Department of Defense prime awards and minimal presence on government-wide vehicles outside the USAGM BPA.
