Fierce Software Corp

Fierce Software Corp, doing business as Fierce Software, is a woman-owned small business based in Ashburn, Virginia that operates primarily as a value-added reseller of enterprise open-source software licenses, subscriptions, and technical support services to federal agencies. The vendor competes as both a prime contractor on GSA vehicles and as a subcontractor to systems integrators on large federal IT programs, though it operates predominantly in the subcontractor role — 68% of recent awards place Fierce Software as a named sub to major primes rather than as a prime contractor.

Fierce Software's capability footprint centers on commercial off-the-shelf open-source platforms: Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Cloudera Data Platform, GitLab, and MongoDB, supplied with government-vendor support tiers, annual renewals, perpetual licenses, and technical consulting. The company also resells hardware and application development services. Representative prime contracts include a $712,436 definitive contract with CDC Pittsburgh for Red Hat licenses running through June 2029 (woman-owned small business set-aside), a $2.59 million delivery order with the Social Security Administration for Cloudera Data Platform Private Cloud subscription renewals under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) through February 2025, and a $1.09 million Cloudera renewal with CDC Pittsburgh (definitive contract, February 2026 completion). Most prime work flows through the GSA MAS vehicle, which anchors Fierce Software's civilian-agency customer base.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward sub work routed through large systems integrators rather than direct federal relationships. By award count, the top five customer agencies represent 33% of recent awards, dominated by the Department of Education's Office of Federal Student Aid (31 awards), the Defense Information Systems Agency (17 awards), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (7 awards). However, by potential dollar value, the concentration is diffuse — the top five customers by dollars represent negligible share of the $20 billion combined potential value in the award portfolio. This divergence reflects Fierce Software's role as a sub-supplier on high-ceiling vehicle contracts: the SEWP VI GWAC (awarded November 2026, $20 billion ceiling, 10-year base period) represents the overwhelming majority of recent potential value but carries only one recorded task order. By contrast, the GSA MAS, where Fierce Software holds a direct prime position, carries 30 task orders valued at $5.4 million combined potential.

Fierce Software holds a seat on the NASA Information Technology Procurement Office SEWP VI Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (Partial Small Business set-aside, $20 billion ceiling, November 2026 award, October 2036 completion) and places the bulk of its sub work against the Chief Information Officer — Solutions and Partners 3 vehicle (21 task orders), Alliant II (22 task orders), and an Indefinite Delivery Contract (17 task orders). Sub engagement across the portfolio concentrates on software licensing and supply work routed through Leidos, Accenture Federal Services, Booz Allen Hamilton, CACI Federal, KBR Wyle Services, and Lockheed Martin, where Fierce Software supplies open-source product renewals, GitLab licenses, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform subscriptions, and MongoDB Enterprise licenses to support systems integration efforts. No SCI-reportable prime invoicing appears in the source data; the vendor's federal service-contract activity captured in SCI is minimal and routed through subcontractor relationships.

Activity trajectory shows growth from 10 prime and sub awards in 2022 to 65 in 2024, declining to 52 in 2025 and 21 through 2026 year-to-date. Awards reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $1.3 million, representing modest recompete exposure tied primarily to GSA MAS and definitive-contract renewals. The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open on GSA vehicles and as a named sub to large primes; woman-owned small business status is the primary set-aside designation recurred in prime awards.
