Datadirect Networks Federal, LLC

Datadirect Networks Federal, LLC, a limited liability company and subsidiary of Datadirect Networks, Inc., supplies data storage hardware, high-performance computing systems, and storage infrastructure services to federal agencies primarily as a prime contractor (75% of recent awards) across defense and civilian science agencies, with no small business set-aside posture. The company is based in Columbia, Maryland, and operates as a manufacturer and systems integrator focused on storage device manufacturing and IT infrastructure support, centered on NAICS 511420 (Computer Storage Device Manufacturing) and related computer peripheral equipment categories.

Datadirect Networks Federal's customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of the Navy. The Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command (NMOC) accounts for 15 awards carrying $5.6 million in combined potential value — 86% of the vendor's recent award count and nearly 90% of its total potential value. Secondary customers include NASA Goddard Space Center (4 awards), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (2 awards), the Naval Education and Training Command (2 awards, $159 thousand potential value), and the Air Force ($178 thousand, a recent purchase order for HAP server support and upgrade at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, awarded April 20, 2026). The concentration is extreme: NMOC dominates both volume and dollars; the next five customers combined represent less than 10% of potential value.

Work under prime contracts flows through three indefinite delivery contracts: IDC 80ARC018D0010 (5 task orders), IDC N0010412DQ101 (5 task orders, $918 thousand combined potential value), and IDC DOCST133018CQ0073 (2 task orders). The vendor also subcontracts to Inuteq, LLC on NASA's Advanced Computing Services (NACS) procurement task orders for hardware, software, maintenance, and supporting materials to the Computational Information Systems Technology Office and the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (multiple task orders across 2024–2026), and to General Dynamics Information Technology on maintenance, equipment, and supplies delivery for the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory under Task Order 51 in fiscal 2024.

Activity is sparse and episodic. The vendor received one award in 2015, one in 2018, then six awards in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 — a pattern suggesting recent reactivation or expanded pursuit rather than sustained program presence. Combined potential value stands at $6.2 million against combined dollars obligated of $8.9 million (143% of potential), indicating obligation over baseline contract values or a data-capture timing mismatch. Only one award (the April 2026 Air Force purchase order, $178 thousand) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure.
