DAS Federal LLC

DAS Federal LLC, an SBA 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business and woman-owned business based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, delivers IT services, digital transformation, DevSecOps, automation, and healthcare technology solutions to federal civilian agencies and the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on 86% of its recent awards and as a subcontractor on defense and civilian programs. The company operates under 8(a) Competitive and 8(a) Sole Source set-asides on most prime work, with a parallel full-and-open footprint anchored by its position on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. DAS Federal maintains a subsidiary, DH Group JV LLC, a minority-owned and small disadvantaged business joint venture.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of Health and Human Services and its component agencies. The Food and Drug Administration accounts for ten awards (10 of 21 total, or 48% of award count) with $21.2 million in combined potential value; the National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute holds two awards worth $17.2 million combined; and the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management has two awards for $615 thousand combined. GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors the potential-value ranking with two awards totaling $50 billion combined ceiling — one on the 8(a) STARS III GWAC (awarded February 23, 2022, through July 1, 2029) and one on the newly awarded SHIELD IDIQ (awarded December 29, 2025, through December 28, 2035, with a $151 billion ceiling). The concentration divergence is stark: GSA's $50 billion comes from one vehicle (8(a) STARS III) leveraged across FDA, National Cancer Institute, and HHS civilian orders; the raw award count reflects sustained activity across smaller-dollar delivery orders under those vehicles rather than sole-source or high-value prime contracts.

Recent named work includes a $9.3 million definitive contract with the National Cancer Institute for operation and support of the CTEP PIO (awarded June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2031, cost-plus-fixed-fee); an $11.3 million delivery order with the FDA for FDA TRACK support and services under 8(a) STARS III (awarded September 24, 2025, firm fixed price, through September 25, 2029); a $7.2 million delivery order with the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management for Transition Assistance Program Employment Navigator System operations, maintenance, and development under 8(a) STARS III (awarded August 1, 2024, labor-hours basis, through July 31, 2029); a $4.4 million delivery order with GSA's Office of Administrative Services for Robotic Process Automation technical support specialist services under 8(a) STARS III (awarded January 18, 2024, through January 17, 2029); and a $3.2 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement model management and technical support (awarded November 1, 2021, through March 31, 2025, with a recent February 6, 2025 modification to descope non-essential consulting).

Activity has remained relatively stable through 2024 and 2025. The vendor recorded four awards in 2022, four in 2023, three in 2024, five in 2025, and two awards in 2026 (as of mid-June). The combined potential value of $50.06 billion is dominated by the SHIELD IDIQ ($151 billion ceiling); excluding SHIELD, the firm carries $50.06 billion in contract ceiling value across the 8(a) STARS III vehicle ($50 billion) and smaller definitive contracts and delivery orders. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $31 million, representing less than one percent of combined potential value.

DAS Federal holds a seat on the 8(a) STARS III GWAC with seven task orders and $27.7 million in combined potential value; the GSA Multiple Award Schedule with four task orders and $1.3 million combined value; and the newly awarded SHIELD Indefinite Delivery Contract. The 8(a) STARS III vehicle has driven the most recent delivery-order activity, with FDA alone issuing four distinct delivery orders under it since 2023 (ESTARS implementation and operations support at roughly $1.3 million; Office of Planning, Evaluation, and Risk Management resource support at $317 thousand; FDA TRACK support at $11.3 million; and IT automation support at $2.9 million).

Service Contract Inventory data covering federal service contracts above $150,000 (FY2022–FY2024) shows DAS Federal invoiced $11.3 million across prime records, with $3.9 million in FY2022, $3.7 million in FY2023, and $3.7 million in FY2024. The vendor delivered approximately 15.5 to 23.5 FTEs annually across these fiscal years, reflecting modest but consistent workforce deployment on SCI-reportable contracts. On federal services contracts, median government-paid rates ran around $89.77 per hour, with labor spanning from the 10th percentile at $59.13 per hour through the 90th percentile at $142.87 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed an average of 17% of contractor hours, with seven named subcontractors reported; this indicates DAS Federal builds most delivery teams internally while engaging specialized subs selectively. As a subcontractor, DAS Federal appears as a sub on work with Eagle Hill Consulting (CTP Budget and Acquisitions System work, January 30, 2026), Deloitte Consulting LLP (Data Modernization Phase 3, December 18, 2025), and Computer Evidence Specialists LLC (Rhapsody application implementation and OCE drug labeling, December 9, 2024), signaling secondary engagement as a specialized labor or technical sub on larger prime programs. The vendor's primary category focus is Computer Systems Design Services (11 awards), followed by Custom Computer Programming Services (4 awards) and Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (3 awards).
