Enlighten It Consulting LLC

Enlighten It Consulting LLC, a subsidiary of Huntington Ingalls Industries' HII Mission Technologies Corp operating out of Columbia, Maryland, is a large business providing big data platforms, cyber analytics infrastructure, cloud engineering, and AI/ML integration services to defense and intelligence agencies as a prime contractor (94% of recent awards) and selectively as a subcontractor. The vendor competes full-and-open on all contracts—no set-aside participation—and anchors its business to single-award and multiple-award IDIQ vehicles that establish multi-year platform support and software engineering relationships with command-level customers.

Enlighten's federal customer base concentrates heavily on Air Force Space Command and Army cyber operations. The top five customers by combined potential value account for 31% of the vendor's $9.39 billion active portfolio: the Department of the Air Force Space Command Space and Missile Systems Center (2 awards, $900 million), the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (2 awards, $853.1 million), the Department of the Army (5 awards, $535.4 million), Air Education and Training Command (13 awards, $368.3 million), and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (3 awards, $252.5 million). The concentration split by volume versus value reveals distinct patterns—AETC leads in award count (13 awards) but trails Air Force Space Command (2 awards carrying $900 million) in dollar magnitude. Across the 54 prime and sub awards in the source, Enlighten has served 24 distinct federal agencies.

Recent prime contract work demonstrates platform-centric, long-duration delivery. Enlighten received a $99.991 million definitive contract from US Cyber Command on January 5, 2026, to modernize JCRS-D/CASPIAN through Ionic data lakehouse integration and containerization, extending through January 4, 2029, with a subcontractor team including Wyetech LLC, Systolic Inc., Northstrat Incorporated, Captivation Software LLC, Erias Ventures LLC, Reflexive Concepts LLC, Phoenix Operations Group LLC, Pegasi Defense LLC, Aegis Inc., and IC-1 Solutions LLC. A $91.148 million definitive contract from Washington Headquarters Service (awarded December 11, 2024) funds Threat Awareness Sharing Capabilities follow-on development through December 10, 2029. Air Education and Training Command awarded a $92.89 million definitive contract on April 1, 2024, for Big Data Platform services including Enterprise Logging Ingest and Cyber Situational Awareness Refinery deployment and sustainment through July 31, 2026. A $53.062 million delivery order from the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (awarded September 5, 2025) supports Joint Cyber Warfighter Architecture JCRS-D and Radar Defensive Measures Framework work concluding September 4, 2028. Most recently, Army Cyber Command awarded a $34.179 million delivery order on March 1, 2026, for Cyber Analytics and Detection maintenance and AI/ML integration through February 28, 2027.

Enlighten holds four parent vehicles anchoring its delivery model: a $476.262 million single-award IDIQ from the Department of the Army (awarded February 27, 2026, for CAD Omnibus maintenance and development through February 28, 2031), an $800 million multiple-award BPA from the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency for National Background Investigation Services modernization software engineering (awarded July 21, 2025, through July 20, 2030), a $900 million multiple-award IDIQ from Air Force Space Command's Space and Missile Systems Center for data software services (awarded April 1, 2023, through March 31, 2029), and a $249 million multiple-award Basic Ordering Agreement from the Office of the Secretary of Defense's Joint Artificial Intelligence Center for AI data readiness support services (awarded March 11, 2022, through March 10, 2027). Enlighten has also placed eight task orders under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule ($162.5 million combined potential value). These vehicles position the vendor as a sustained platform provider to cyber command, space systems, and intelligence-community customers rather than a project-based competitor.

Activity has grown modestly—three awards in 2022, four each in 2023 and 2024, seven in 2025, and three to date in 2026—with six awards (combined potential value $165.7 million) reaching completion in the next twenty-four months and facing recompete exposure. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on big data platform design and operations (ELICSAR, BDP, Caspian variants), cloud orchestration and containerization (particularly AWS GovCloud and Ionic integration), and cyber analytics with machine learning ingest and detection layers. NAICS concentration reflects this depth: 16 awards under NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), 8 under data-processing and web-hosting services, and 5 under general Computer Systems Design Services. PSC coding emphasizes labor-intensive business application and software development support (13 awards under IT business application labor) and information technology software (7 awards).

Service Contract Inventory data covering prime records from FY2022 through FY2024 shows $52.7 million in invoiced federal services revenue, with $18.6 million in FY2022 across approximately 24.7 FTEs and $34 million in FY2023 across 90.6 FTEs; SCI-reportable invoicing dropped to zero in FY2024, reflecting timing mismatches between invoice and reporting periods on long-duration firm fixed-price contracts rather than performance decline. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid hourly rates ran median $240.57 per hour, with the 10th percentile at $189.23 per hour and the 90th percentile at $634.67 per hour—a spectrum consistent with mixed-seniority engineering and data science teams. Enlighten subcontracts on an average 11% share of contractor hours across SCI-reportable prime contracts and names 14 distinct subcontractors in the SCI dataset. On the GSA Schedule, Enlighten offers 58 labor categories ranging from Systems Administrator 2 roles at $61.40 per hour (bachelor's, three years' experience) through Cloud Software Engineer SME 2 positions at $297.41 per hour (bachelor's, twenty years' experience)—a non-cleared labor portfolio emphasizing systems engineering, data science, and cloud infrastructure delivery.

The vendor subcontracts sparingly as a prime-focused competitor. Named sub awards include a December 31, 2025, task order under Salient CRGT Inc.'s MAVERICK prime and a July 1, 2024, engagement under HII Mission Technologies Corp for maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft program support—both subordinate to the core big data and cyber analytics prime footprint. Enlighten's positioning as a HII subsidiary aligns it with parent-company defense contracting and maritime systems breadth, but the source documents show Enlighten operating independently as a prime contractor with its own contract vehicles and customer relationships rather than as a pass-through to parent-company programs.
