About the company
Intelligent Waves LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business based in Reston, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) delivering flight test instrumentation support, crowdsourcing equipment and labor, 5G prototyping, knowledge management software, and data analytics services to the Department of Defense—primarily the Air Force through Air Combat Command at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. The company holds a child ownership relationship with parent entity Bart & Associates, LLC, a Virginia-based for-profit LLC.
Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Air Force programs. The top five funding agencies account for 59% of awards by count and 71% by combined potential value. The Air Force dominates the potential-value ranking, driven by a $99.9 million single-award IDIQ for crowdsourcing equipment and services at Nellis AFB (running through January 2026) and positions on two major multi-award GWACs: the $92 billion Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract and the $950 million Advanced Battle Management System IDIQ. The Air Combat Command leads by award volume (147 awards, $384.3 million combined potential value), executing sustained delivery orders against Intelligent Waves' crowdsourcing IDIQ. The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center contributes 161 awards ($5.66 billion combined potential value), the Defense Information Systems Agency places 32 awards ($118.6 million), and the Naval Sea Systems Command holds 25 awards ($10 billion combined potential value). Recent work includes a $7.3 million delivery order from the Air Force for flight test mission instrumentation modifications and operations at Nellis through September 2026; a $1.8 million SBIR Phase II from the Air Force Research Laboratory for 5G technology supporting Distributed Common Ground Systems (awarded August 2024, running through August 2026); and multiple sub-awards to Booz Allen Hamilton ($27.1 million combined) and Leidos ($20.6 million combined) for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance support and C5ISR systems work. Intelligent Waves was onboarded to the OASIS+ Unrestricted GWAC (GSA, no dollar ceiling specified, running through December 2029) on December 17, 2024, expanding reach to civilian and defense agencies.
Activity has been volatile. The vendor recorded 49 awards in 2022, 51 in 2023, then declined to 32 in 2024, 19 in 2025, and 1 in 2026 (year-to-date through June). The $99.9 million crowdsourcing IDIQ with Air Combat Command faces contract completion on January 31, 2026, creating recompete exposure; multiple delivery orders flow under that vehicle and will require follow-on award or transition to alternative vehicles.
On federal service contracts reported in the Service Contract Inventory, Intelligent Waves invoiced $5.4 million in FY2023 across roughly 26.9 FTEs (prime records); the vendor delivered no SCI-reportable invoicing in FY2022, FY2024, or FY2025 (either because work fell below the $150,000 reporting threshold or was not captured in the SCI dataset). FTE trajectory shows growth from 6.3 FTEs in FY2022 to 47.5 FTEs in FY2025, but this reflects only SCI-reportable labor and excludes the much larger delivery orders flowing through the ACC IDIQ and other prime contracts. Government-paid median hourly rates on SCI prime records ran $93.33/hr, with a 10th percentile of $87.47/hr and 90th percentile of $99.19/hr—consistent with mid-level technical labor. Across SCI prime contracts, subcontractors performed roughly 7% of total hours; four named subcontractors appear in the SCI records. GSA Schedule labor categories span 136 offerings at rates from $74.98/hr (Hardware Engineer I) to $412.60/hr (Subject Matter Expert III Cloud), with no security-cleared roles listed and education requirements ranging from high school to bachelor's degree.
Intelligent Waves operates as a prime on its core ACC crowdsourcing IDIQ and related delivery orders. On non-ACC work, the vendor appears primarily as a subcontractor to large prime integrators: Booz Allen Hamilton anchors multiple ISR, enterprise network systems engineering, and software development subs; Leidos holds C5ISR and IT directorate support subs; and Cubic Digital Intelligence and CACI engage Intelligent Waves on unified video dissemination and full-spectrum intelligence work. The 4% sub-award rate by count masks the strategic role of large-dollar sub-awards to primes, which account for a material share of the vendor's recent revenue footprint outside the core ACC IDIQ.
