Federated IT, Inc.

Federated IT, Inc., doing business as Bridge Defense, is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Washington, DC that provides IT professional services, systems integration, and program analysis to federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively, with 100% of recent awards issued in that capacity and no subcontract work in the source data. The vendor holds dual SBA certifications as a veteran-owned business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (both valid through March 1, 2028) and operates as a for-profit limited liability company registered in SAM since 2002. It maintains a subsidiary, Syntelligent Analytic Solutions LLC, also certified as a veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned business.

Federated IT's recent capability portfolio centers on systems integration management, program analysis, workflow management, and astronomy-related technical services delivered through delivery orders under standing IDCs, with representative work including a $1.04 million precise time program analysis delivery order from the Naval Observatory (November 2024), a $978.5 thousand systems integration manager services delivery order from the same agency (November 2024), a $348.6 thousand technical workflow manager delivery order (February 2026), and a $3.13 million Other Transaction Agreement with US Special Operations Command for ICOOL Production (January 2026) running through January 2031 in Tampa, Florida. The company also recently secured a seat on the $151 billion Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) Multiple Award IDC issued by the Missile Defense Agency (December 2025), though the initial order carries only a $500 ceiling.

Federated IT holds four active parent vehicles anchoring its work. The Naval Observatory single-award IDC (through October 31, 2028, with a $4 million ceiling) carries 13 task orders worth $2.2 million in combined potential value across astronomy-related labor, systems integration, and program analysis. The company holds a GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (effective through March 2028, $500,000 ceiling) offering 54 labor categories spanning applications development, cybersecurity analysis, database administration, networking, program management, and systems administration, with hourly rates ranging from $40.29 (Help Desk Customer Service Representative, high school education, one year experience, no clearance) to $348.36 (Microsoft Designated Support Engineer, high school education, twelve years experience). Federated IT also holds an Air Force Other Transaction IDV valued at $500,000 for the ICOOL program (awarded July 2025) and sits on multiple Department of Labor IDCs including a $15.5 million indefinite delivery contract (DOLJ119F31500) supporting the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management with 13 task orders to date.

Customer concentration is dominated by defense and civilian administrative agencies. The Naval Observatory accounts for 32 awards ($14 million combined potential value) and ranks first by award count; however, by dollar value, the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command anchors the portfolio with 5 awards carrying $72.55 billion combined potential value — this concentration is driven almost entirely by the SHIELD IDC award. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service follows with 7 awards worth $17.1 billion combined potential value. The Department of Labor's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management places 14 awards ($28.5 million combined potential value), the Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration holds 2 awards ($33.5 million combined potential value), and the Treasury Internal Revenue Service holds 3 awards ($15 million combined potential value). Across the full portfolio, Federated IT serves 55 distinct customer agencies.

Recent award velocity shows modest but consistent activity — 4 awards in 2024 and 8 in 2025, with 4 awards issued in the first two months of 2026. Only 3 awards (combined potential value $906 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's NAICS posture skews toward Other Computer Related Services (56 awards), Computer Systems Design Services (27 awards), and All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (21 awards), reflecting its primary work as an IT services and systems integration provider. Federated IT competes predominantly as a service-disabled veteran-owned small business under sole-source set-asides on its core Naval Observatory and Department of Labor work, though it also holds full-and-open vehicle positions on GSA MAS and recent DoD IDCs.

Federated IT designs, builds, integrates, secures and sustains IT networks for the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, Federal Law Enforcement, civil government agencies and commercial clients.
