DKW Communications Inc.

DKW Communications Inc., a minority-owned, Black American-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Washington, D.C., operates as a prime contractor delivering IT infrastructure, telecommunications, software maintenance, and systems engineering services to federal agencies—with commanding concentration in Navy customer relationships spanning Information Warfare Systems Command, Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Air Warfare Center, and Fleet Cyber Command. The company competes predominantly under full-and-open and Total Small Business set-asides across a $145.02 billion combined potential-value portfolio of 362 prime awards spanning the past two decades, with no subcontractor engagement on any federal work.

DKW's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward defense. The top five customer organizations account for only 52% of award count but dominate potential value: the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command anchors $10 billion alone across 10 awards, followed by the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service at $4.01 billion (4 awards), Navy Information Warfare Systems Command at $976.3 million (146 awards), Navy Naval Air Warfare Center at $707.6 million (6 awards), and Department of the Interior Departmental Offices at $46.8 million (13 awards). The Navy represents the overwhelming concentration across both metrics—146 awards from Information Warfare Systems Command and another 30 awards across the other Navy sub-commands mean the Navy customer base dominates the active footprint. Recent representative work includes a $105.2 million single-award Total Small Business IDIQ with Naval Air Warfare Center for software maintenance of fielded training systems through March 31, 2031 (awarded February 2024, three delivery orders issued totaling $34.8 million as of November 2025, performed in Orlando, Florida and San Diego, California); a $3.53 million GSA Multiple Award Schedule delivery order from General Services Administration for Foreign Acquisition Service personnel travel readiness (awarded September 2026, through September 2031, Washington, D.C.); a $12.4 million Department of Interior MAS delivery order for IT contractor support to the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (awarded May 2024, through May 2029, Total Small Business set-aside, Denver, Colorado); and a $188,584 Space and Missile Systems Center purchase order for TS/SCI cleared contractor escorts during SCIF communications installation (awarded January 2026, Total Small Business set-aside, Lompoc, California).

DKW holds three significant parent vehicles: a $20 billion NASA SEWP VI GWAC for IT communication and audio-visual solutions (awarded November 2026, Total Small Business set-aside, through October 2036); a $65 billion Naval Supply Systems Command Worldwide Expeditionary Multiple Award Contract TITUS for humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, contingency, and logistics support (awarded October 2025, no set-aside, through December 2029); and the $105.2 million Naval Air Warfare Center IDIQ noted above. Top task-order vehicles include an unidentified Indefinite Delivery Contract N6523607D7881 carrying 130 task orders and $26.6 million combined potential value, the GSA Multiple Award Schedule with 44 task orders and $589.2 million potential value, the 8(a) Streamlined Technology Acquisition Resources for Services vehicle with 31 task orders and $64 million potential value, and Alliant Small Business with 18 task orders and $139.3 million potential value.

By NAICS, DKW concentrates in Engineering Services (170 awards), Other Computer Related Services (75 awards), and Computer Systems Design Services (65 awards). By PSC code, the portfolio is dominated by maintenance and repair of communications and detection equipment (164 awards) and IT and telecommunications infrastructure support (28 and 15 awards respectively). Activity has been sparse in recent years—two awards in 2022, four in 2023, six in 2024, two in 2025, and three in 2026—with only $13.2 million in combined potential value completing within the next twenty-four months and thus facing recompete. SCI-reported invoicing across the four-fiscal-year window reached $44.6 million ($16.1 million in FY2022, $1.5 million in FY2023, $13.9 million in FY2024, $13.1 million in FY2025), with FY2023 FTE data showing an outlier spike (6,552 FTEs) that likely reflects a data-reporting anomaly; FY2022, FY2024, and FY2025 show a consistent 83–97 FTE range. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, median government-paid rates run around $81.35 per hour, with the spectrum ranging from a 10th percentile of $23.35 per hour to a 90th percentile of $115.89 per hour. DKW self-performs all reported federal labor with zero subcontractor engagement. The company's GSA Schedule labor portfolio offers six technical writer and editor categories spanning $123.65 to $162.51 per hour, with no security-cleared roles, across associate through master's education levels and two to six years of experience.
