Descartes Systems USA LLC

Descartes Systems USA LLC, a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, supplies web-based trade data subscriptions, export control compliance software, and maritime logistics information to federal civilian agencies exclusively as a prime contractor, with no subcontract footprint. The vendor operates without SBA set-asides across a full-and-open competitive posture and maintains a single named subsidiary, Descartes Visual Compliance (USA) LLC, which delivers restricted party screening and export classification workflow capabilities.

Descartes' federal work centers on three concrete capability streams. The first is trade and tariff data delivery: the International Trade Administration awarded a $162,500 purchase order (Option Year 2, through September 2029) for commercial tariff data and supply chain information, and the Federal Maritime Commission issued a $480,000 purchase order (through September 2031) for web-based import/export trade data in statistical format. The second is maritime and logistics databases: the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation purchased three-user Datamyne subscriptions for $281,606.50 (through November 2025), and the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Air and Radiation held a $63,964 Datamyne subscription (completed February 2024). The third is export control and compliance software: NASA's Shared Services Center renewed a Visual Compliance subscription for $98,901.16 (through May 2026) covering restricted party screening, dynamic screening, compliance manager workflow, and export classification tools serving multiple NASA organizations with up to 150 users per module; NASA justified the sole-source renewal citing deep integration into its Identity, Credential, and Access Management infrastructure and at least one year of material transition risk.

Customer concentration is fragmented. The Federal Maritime Commission and the International Trade Administration lead by combined potential value (87% coverage across top five agencies: $918 thousand and $573 thousand respectively), followed by the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, the Navy, and NOAA. The vendor has served eleven distinct agencies over its award history. All twenty-two awards are prime contracts with no subcontract engagement. Activity has averaged one award per year across 2022–2026, with combined potential value of $2.3 million and $1.7 million already obligated (74% of ceiling). No parent vehicles, GWACs, IDIQs, or BPAs appear in the award footprint; all work is direct purchase order placement. Category concentration clusters around web-based subscription delivery (PSC: IT and Telecom Web-Based Subscription, 6 awards) and information services (NAICS: Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting and Related Services; Internet Publishing and Broadcasting and Web Search Portals).
