About the company
Heuristic Management Systems Inc., doing business as HMS Software, provides remote software support and consulting services for proprietary depot management and time-tracking systems to the U.S. Coast Guard as a sole-source prime contractor operating entirely in the full-and-open competitive space with no set-aside designations.
HMS Software is a Canadian for-profit software consulting firm headquartered in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, registered in SAM.gov since August 2003 and operating under NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services). The company specializes in technical support, system maintenance, and consulting services for its own proprietary Time Control Industrial (TCI) and Depot Management Operations System (DPOMS) software platforms. All eight tracked federal awards span a fifteen-year window and represent prime contracts; the vendor holds no subcontract footprint in the source data.
Customer concentration is extreme and narrowly targeted. The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard accounts for 4 awards and $183 thousand in combined potential value — 100% concentration on a single customer agency that represents the sole end-user of HMS Software's proprietary systems. The remaining two customers, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Langley Research Center (2 awards, $12 thousand) and the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Philadelphia (2 awards, $23 thousand), contribute negligible volume. Recent Coast Guard contracts include a $90 thousand firm-fixed-price purchase order awarded April 15, 2026 for DPOMS and TCI software support services with ultimate completion in October 2026; a $47.7 thousand purchase order awarded October 8, 2025 for approximately fifty days of remote consulting and software support services; and a $28.8 thousand purchase order awarded April 8, 2025 for TCI and DPOMS support services. All Coast Guard awards are sole-source under FAR 13.106-1(b) Simplified Acquisition Procedures, justified by the proprietary and non-competitive nature of HMS Software's integrated technology stack.
Recent activity is intermittent. Two awards in 2025 and one in 2026 represent the first multi-year concentration of activity; the preceding fifteen years carried sporadic work (one award in 2014, one in 2011). One award ($90 thousand) reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and faces potential recompete exposure. HMS Software operates as a narrow, specialized vendor with zero diversification across customer agencies or contract vehicles.
