Deltek Inc.

Deltek Inc., a subsidiary of Roper Technologies headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, sells commercial off-the-shelf software licenses, maintenance, and support services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards), competing in full-and-open federal procurements without set-aside designations. The vendor operates across 95 distinct customer agencies through firm fixed-price purchase orders and sole-source awards, delivering enterprise project management, cost estimation, risk analysis, and construction specification platforms to both civilian and defense sectors.

Deltek's portfolio centers on specialized software products: Acumen Fuse and Cobra (project management and earned-value analysis), Costpoint (cost estimation and financial management), WinSight and PROPRICER (cost analysis and estimating), SpecPoint and MasterSpec (construction specification and architectural documentation), GovWin IQ (market research and business development intelligence), and Open Plan (project planning). Representative prime awards include a $565.4 million maintenance and support contract with Air Force Materiel Command for WinSight software (March 2024), a $511.8 million sole-source GovWin IQ market profile subscription service with GSA Federal Acquisition Service (September 2023), a $51.4 million Acumen Fuse upgrade for the Department of Energy's Portsmouth Paducah Project Office (January 2022), and a $407.3 million Software Acumen Enterprise License award from the Defense Contract Management Agency (September 2024). Across the 475 awards in the source, 458 are prime contracts and 17 are subcontract positions; combined potential value stands at $24.7 million with $23 million obligated (93% execution rate).

Customer concentration skews toward defense and administrative IT buyers. The top five customers by award count — Naval Sea Systems Command (35 awards, $282 thousand), Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (33 awards, $1 million), Defense Contract Management Agency (19 awards, $6.6 million), Smithsonian Office of the Chief Information Officer (16 awards, $311 thousand), and Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management (16 awards, $145 thousand) — account for 25% of all awards. By dollar value, concentration is higher: DCMA, Air Force Materiel Command, and Naval Air Systems Command together represent 51% of combined potential value, with DCMA anchoring $6.6 million across 19 awards. Navy and Air Force dominate the customer base, but Deltek also serves civilian agencies including NASA, Smithsonian, Department of Transportation, Department of Justice FBI, U.S. Coast Guard, and Interior.

Deltek places the overwhelming majority of work through the General Services Administration's Information Technology Schedule 70, with 158 task orders carrying $3.4 million in combined potential value. A handful of other indefinite delivery contracts and agile acquisition vehicles appear in the portfolio, but IT Schedule 70 is the dominant vehicle. The vendor competes on Schedule 70 as a sole-source provider on many awards (Acumen Fuse and Cobra renewals are recurrently sole-sourced under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i)) and also wins competitive calls from agencies holding existing schedules.

Activity has remained flat at 15–18 awards per year from 2022 through 2025, with only 8 awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date (reflecting partial-year data as of mid-October). Seven awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $966 thousand, representing modest recompete exposure. The vendor's 4% sub-award share (17 subcontract positions) reflects its primary role as a software licensor executing its own contracts rather than teaming under larger systems integrators; however, Deltek does appear as a subcontractor to Amentum Technology, Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, Hanford Tank Waste Operations & Closure, and others, typically renewing software licenses and support within larger facility management or IT infrastructure contracts. SCI-reportable invoicing (service contracts above the $150,000 threshold) totaled $504 thousand across FY2022–FY2024, with zero FTEs reported in SCI records, reflecting Deltek's model as a software vendor delivering licenses and maintenance with minimal labor content reported to the Service Contract Inventory system. The vendor's $24.7 million recent federal award portfolio and $23 million obligated represents recurring annual renewals and software subscription business rather than growth-oriented new systems or large transformational engagements.
