Dager Technology , LLC

Dager Technology, LLC is a women-owned small business based in Fairfax, Virginia that delivers specialized training, exercise support, and technical assessment services for explosive ordnance disposal and counter-weapons-of-mass-destruction missions to federal law enforcement and defense agencies, operating exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) under woman-owned small business set-asides and full-and-open competitions.

The company's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which accounts for 16 of 26 recent awards and $18.9 million in combined potential value. The Department of Defense and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency collectively represent six awards worth $2.5 million and two awards worth $12.9 million respectively. The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate and GSA Federal Acquisition Service round out the active federal footprint. Unlike most federal contractors, Dager Technology has not subcontracted to other primes; all work is self-performed, which aligns with SCI data showing zero sub-hours share across prime contracts. The SCI dataset shows SCI-reportable invoiced revenue of $11.6 million across FY2022–FY2025, with staffing scaling from 6.8 FTEs in FY2022 to 10.1–10.3 FTEs in FY2024–FY2025, and government-paid hourly rates ranging from $83.69/hr at the tenth percentile to a median of $149.10/hr, with subject-matter-expert roles reaching $999.91/hr at the 90th percentile.

Dager Technology's primary revenue driver is the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' Raven's Challenge Training Events contract, a woman-owned small business set-aside definitive contract awarded September 1, 2023 with a $8.77 million ceiling running through September 28, 2028. The contract scaled significantly from $106 thousand in FY2023 (49 hours at $2,171/hr) to $1.8 million in FY2024 (11,796 hours at $149.10/hr), indicating maturation from project-delivery to sustained training-event operations in Fairfax, Virginia. The company also holds a $7.83 million woman-owned small business set-aside definitive contract with ATF for Vulcan's Forge and RedOps, awarded September 27, 2024 and running through September 26, 2029, which involves identification and optimization of field-expedient tools for explosive ordnance disposal units and public-safety bomb-squad capability assessments. Performance spans ATF facilities, military bases, and company-operated facilities at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama and Fairfax, Virginia.

Dager Technology holds two major indefinite delivery vehicles: a $2 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of Defense for hazardous devices annual training (May 6, 2024 through May 5, 2029), against which six task orders totaling $97 thousand have been issued, and a $4 million GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (April 23, 2024 through April 22, 2029) with labor categories spanning junior associates through 20-year subject-matter experts at hourly rates from $57.64 to $204.27. A cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency for operational assessments of emerging and disruptive technologies supporting EOD and counter-WMD missions carries a $6.81 million ceiling through June 30, 2029 and contemplates two to five assessment events annually at the secret classification level, performed in Sterling, Virginia.

Recent activity shows volatility: six awards in 2024 followed by two in 2025 and one in 2026 (a June 1, 2026 BPA call for hazardous devices branch training worth $198 thousand under a total small business set-aside running through May 31, 2027). Two awards are scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $9 million and representing a material recompete opportunity. The company's category concentration is split between training and technical services delivery: eight awards fall under All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction NAICS, seven under Professional and Management Development Training, and three each under Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services and research and development categories. The PSC split reflects this mix, with 11 awards coded to Professional Support services and 10 to education and training services.
