Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co, a manufacturer of enterprise computing hardware, storage infrastructure, high-performance computing systems, and IT services, operates as a prime contractor on federal contracts and as a subcontractor to major defense primes, competing full-and-open without set-aside designations. HPE is a subsidiary of HP Inc., a for-profit organization headquartered in Spring, Texas, with primary NAICS categories spanning Electronic Computer Manufacturing (21 awards), Computer Systems Design Services (16 awards), and search-and-detection systems manufacturing (13 awards).

HPE's prime footprint spans 60 awards with combined potential value of $21.59 billion, anchored by two major Other Transaction Agreements with the Defense Information Systems Agency: a $919.96 million distributed hybrid multi-cloud production OTA (effective October 31, 2025, through October 30, 2035) and a $4.36 million distributed hybrid multi-cloud prototype OTA (awarded April 15, 2024). The vendor holds a $249 million Basic Ordering Agreement from the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Joint Artificial Intelligence Center AI data readiness support, covering project management, data science, data engineering, and synthetic data generation through March 10, 2027. HPE recently joined NASA's SEWP VI multiple-award GWAC as a vendor (awarded November 1, 2026, with a $20 billion ceiling through October 31, 2036), positioning the company as a standard federal IT acquisition vehicle for enterprise computing solutions and technical support across civilian agencies. At ERDC, HPE holds a Basic Ordering Agreement for high-performance computing technology insertion covering unclassified and classified infrastructure, technical data services, and administration and maintenance through October 19, 2026; between June 2022 and June 2025, ERDC issued nine delivery orders totaling approximately $280 million across four technology insertion programs (TI-22, TI-23, TI-24, TI-25), including a $44.9 million Air Force systems procurement (June 2025, Wright-Patterson), a $44.3 million Navy Distributed Supercomputing Resource Center system (June 2025), and a $32.6 million Army Research Laboratory system (June 2024, Aberdeen Proving Ground).

Customer concentration sits heavily with defense and federal R&D agencies. The top five funding agencies account for roughly 50 percent of award count: the Defense Information Systems Agency (11 awards, $992.5 million combined potential value), the Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (13 awards, $340.2 million), the Air Force Space Command Space and Missile Systems Center (15 awards, count-only ranking), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (11 awards, $26 thousand), and the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service Cotton and Tobacco Program (6 awards, $2.8 million). DISA and ERDC dominate both volume and potential value; activity concentrates in high-performance computing systems, enterprise storage, and mission-critical IT infrastructure sustainment. Recent representative prime awards include a $18.45 million AI Factory for transformative AI/ML high-performance computing contract with ERDC (February 13, 2027), a $34.42 million supercomputer system delivery for ERDC (July 2023), and a $25.49 million TI-24 base system and test development system delivery under ERDC's HPC BOA (June 28, 2024).

Activity has grown substantially year over year—10 awards in 2023 to 31 in 2025—with only $770 thousand in combined potential value reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the immediate window. Prime work spans full-and-open delivery orders, purchase orders, and definitive contracts; no set-aside categories recur across HPE's prime footprint.

HPE operates as a subcontractor on 52 awards (46 percent of total activity), delivering enterprise hardware, storage systems, hardware support and maintenance, and IT infrastructure components to major defense and aerospace primes. Named subcontract relationships include Peraton Inc. (Low-Earth Orbit Ground Sustainment Services for Joint Polar Satellite System Common Ground System sustainment, Defense Travel System bridge sustainment, and Worldwide COTS Hardware/Software/Maintenance integration for Defense Manpower Data Center); Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (computer terminal and peripheral equipment manufacturing for Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability Site 2 production, awarded multiple times September–October 2025); Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (edge-to-cloud platform solutions for distributable battle management node Phase II and EMAPS 2); Peraton Enterprise Solutions LLC (HSPD-12 MSO USACCESS identity and credential management services, HUD enterprise infrastructure provisioning and maintenance, and Department of Education Federal Student Aid operation and maintenance services); and Raytheon Company (Earth Observing System Data and Information System evolution and development hardware and Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System operations and maintenance). HPE's sub-award activity centers on hardware provisioning, maintenance and repair (Tech Care Essential, Critical, and support contracts), storage enclosure components, and networking equipment for federal IT infrastructure and satellite operations programs.

Service Contract Inventory reporting shows minimal SCI capture: one SCI record in FY2024 as a named subcontractor with 3.7 FTEs, reflecting the vendor's substantial goods and hardware focus that falls outside SCI's service-contract-labor reporting boundary. The $299.3 million in obligated dollars across the $21.59 billion potential-value portfolio (1 percent obligation rate) reflects the typical posture of large IDIQs and OTAs with modest obligated baseline and significant option value.

HPE is a subsidiary of HP Inc., a parent vendor holding its own federal IDIQ contracts with the Air Force, Navy, and Army for IT hardware, software, and support services. Corporate structure includes multiple Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company subsidiaries designated as manufacturers of goods, aligning with HPE's core business in enterprise computing hardware, storage systems, and high-performance computing infrastructure.
