Dignitas Technologies, LLC

Dignitas Technologies, LLC, a women-owned small business headquartered in Orlando, Florida, competes as a prime contractor (86% of recent awards) delivering modeling, simulation, training systems, and defense technology development to the Department of the Navy, Department of the Army, Department of the Air Force, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Dignitas is structured as a child entity of By Light Professional IT Services LLC, a for-profit limited liability company. The vendor carries SBA certification as a Women-Owned Small Business and recurs across set-asides (total small business, woman-owned small business) alongside full-and-open competition awards. Across recent activity, woman-owned and total small business set-asides account for approximately 40% of prime awards; the remaining 60% span unrestricted competitions and no-set-aside designations.

Dignitas anchors its capability portfolio in four concrete areas. First, it delivers advanced training systems and curriculum development—curriculum format conversion, Level 2 Instructor-Led Training (ILT) design, training systems analysis and design, and courseware development. Representative work includes a $1.45 million Naval Air Warfare Center delivery order for Level 2 ISD curriculum development under the SNTACM program, multiple Naval Air Warfare Center MRTS 3D software product orders ranging from $715 thousand to $2.16 million, and a $3.6 million Air Education and Training Command contract for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility training delivery. Second, Dignitas develops and delivers modeling and simulation systems—the company supplies ARES BVI sand tables and visualization systems across multiple Army and Air Force installations through its GSA Multiple Award Schedule, with orders valued from $36 thousand to $179 thousand. Third, it performs systems engineering and software development for defense platforms: work includes F-35 Block 4 modernization sub-tasks under Lockheed Martin, National Cyber Range facility operations and engineering support under Lockheed Martin, and JPMRC-IS software integration and test under HII Mission Technologies. Fourth, Dignitas executes advanced research and development—Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I, II, and III contracts in areas including Generalized Adaptive Instructional Toolset (GAIT) at $7.7 million, Cyberspace Battlefield Operating System Simulation at $9.03 million, Dense Urban Environment Technology (DUET) Phase III at $17.8 million, and Generative AI research at $128 thousand.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward naval and Army training systems. The top five customers account for 68% of recent awards and 97% of combined potential value. The Navy (Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Air Warfare Center, Naval Air Systems Command) anchors $10.01 billion in combined potential value across five awards, driven primarily by the recently awarded Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) contract with the Missile Defense Agency—a $151 billion, 10-year multiple-award IDIQ through December 28, 2035, which Dignitas received on December 29, 2025, with an initial $500 delivery order. Army RDECOM accounts for 38 awards and $383.2 million in potential value, centered on training modernization and adaptive instructional technologies. Army PEO for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation carries 22 awards and $496.6 million potential value. The Office of the Secretary of Defense totals $2.42 billion across eight awards, primarily for cyber range event planning, operations, and support. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center fields a $900 million multiple-award IDIQ for multi-domain systems development.

Dignitas holds position on seven major contract vehicles. The Naval Air Warfare Center N6134021D0015 IDIQ (single-award, $99 million through June 16, 2030, set aside for woman-owned small business) carries 27 task orders valued at $14.3 million combined and serves as the primary ordering mechanism for MRTS 3D and VISIT 3D training systems development and maintenance. The SHIELD IDIQ ($151 billion ceiling through December 28, 2035, full-and-open competition, Missile Defense Agency) represents the largest unrestricted vehicle on the footprint. The LVC-IA IDIQ (single-award, $99.975 million through May 23, 2032, set aside for total small business, PEO Simulation, Training and Instrumentation) funds Live Virtual Constructive training architecture support; three delivery orders total $35.7 million combined. The LTRAC 2 multiple-award IDIQ ($344.1 million through November 26, 2032, set aside for small business, Army PEO STRI) procures live training range instrumentation systems; Dignitas holds a $1 thousand post-award conference order against it. The OASIS+ Small Business vehicle (General Services Administration, $0 ceiling through December 18, 2029, 0.15% access fee, multiple-award set-aside for total small business) and the OASIS+ WOSB vehicle (General Services Administration, $0 ceiling through September 29, 2029, multiple-award set-aside for women-owned small business) provide governmentwide ordering authority across seven functional domains. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule ($8 million ceiling through March 3, 2027) carries seven task orders for ARES BVI sand tables and software engineering labor. Seaport-NXG held four task orders valued at $19.6 million combined for Naval Sea Systems Command integrated logistics support and training program administration.

Activity trajectory shows strong growth momentum. Awards per year grew from 15 in 2022 to 32 in 2024, with 23 awards in 2025 and 2 awards recorded year-to-date in 2026 (snapshot date April 15, 2026). Combined potential value across 167 prime and sub awards totals $14.71 billion, though obligated dollars stand at only $218.9 million (1% of potential value), reflecting the large proportion of IDIQs and future-delivery contracts. The recompete cliff shows thirteen awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carrying combined potential value of $9.4 million—a modest near-term recompete exposure, with larger vehicles (SHIELD, LVC-IA, LTRAC 2) extending through 2030–2032.

Dignitas operates predominantly as a prime builder of its own delivery teams. Across SCI-reportable service contracts (FY2022–FY2024, three prime records and two sub records), the vendor reported zero FTEs on average sub-hours, indicating captive delivery. The SCI dataset shows negligible FTE activity (0.5–0.7 FTEs across three fiscal years) and zero invoiced revenue in the SCI records, indicating that Dignitas' federal services work either falls below the $150 thousand reporting threshold, is classified, or concentrates on goods and product delivery rather than time-and-materials service contracts. The company's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans seven roles from Intern Software Engineer at $29.27 per hour through Principal Software Architect at $169.07 per hour, with intermediate positions (Mid-Level Software Engineer at $103.37, Senior Software Engineer at $144.63) anchoring the breadth. No security-cleared roles are offered under this labor vehicle.

Dignitas subcontracts to Lockheed Martin and HII Mission Technologies on cyber range operations and F-35 modernization work, suggesting a feeder role for larger defense systems integrators on programs outside its direct Navy training and Army simulation footprint. Recent sub-awards to Lockheed Martin include F-35 Block 4 Phase 2.3 modernization (database services and systems engineering), National Cyber Range II facility operations and engineering support (recurring labor and travel across multiple option years 2023–2024), and health analytics tool funding with database services. Sub-work to HII Mission Technologies includes Joint Network of Engineering and Emerging Operations (JNEEO) task orders providing integration, testing, evaluation, and training support for ISR systems, cybersecurity, communications, and information assurance across combatant commands and service branches.

Award concentration by capability type shows the vendor's training and simulation focus. The top NAICS code clusters are Engineering Services (57 awards), Research and Development (87 awards across three NAICS variations), and Other Computer Related Services (20 awards). By PSC code, Training Aids dominates with 46 awards, reflecting curriculum development and simulation products; R&D codes account for 33 awards across basic research, applied research, advanced development, and defense research categories.
