It Cadre LLC

It Cadre LLC, a veteran-owned small business based in Ashburn, Virginia, delivers advanced data visualization engineering, analytics, and organizational transformation services to federal defense and civilian agencies exclusively as a prime contractor. The company holds SBA Certified Veteran-Owned Small Business status through March 10, 2029, and competes predominantly full-and-open, with no set-aside designation recurring across most of its prime footprint; total-small-business set-asides appear on roughly 15% of recent awards.

It Cadre's capability portfolio centers on interactive data visualization tools, decision-support dashboards, logistics analytics, and organizational modeling to enhance operational decision-making across the Department of Defense and civilian agencies. The company's signature offering is the View visualization software tool, deployed across Air Force cyber workforce talent management, C-5 aircraft fleet logistics, and enterprise modernization programs. Representative work includes a $29 million definitive contract with the Air Education and Training Command for digital interactive visualization support services for the Department of the Air Force Business Mission Area (awarded February 2022, completing February 2027); a $13.8 million SBIR Phase III definitive contract with Air Combat Command for cyber workforce talent management visualization engineering (awarded September 2022, completing August 2027); an $8.7 million definitive contract with the Air Force Chief Data and AI Office for visualization services supporting data mesh architecture transition (awarded July 2025, completing July 2030); and an $11.1 million definitive contract with the Office of the Secretary of Defense for visualization engineering analysis support services (awarded September 2025, completing September 2030). It Cadre also holds a $15.488 million indefinite delivery contract awarded by the Department of the Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service in September 2023 for C-5 logistics visualization services running through September 2028, with the first task order valued at $2.978 million awarded in September 2023. A $4.97 million delivery order from the Department of Veterans Affairs under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (awarded December 2025) covers visualization engineering to support VA operations through December 2027.

On the GSA Schedule, It Cadre prices a labor portfolio spanning 25 unique categories—Data Analyst at $122.52 per hour entry-level through Principal Engineer at $268.51 per hour for seven-plus years' experience—all requiring bachelor's degrees and none carrying security-clearance prerequisites. SCI-reported federal service-contract invoicing totaled $6 million in FY2022, declining to $3.1 million in FY2024 and rising slightly to $3.5 million in FY2025, with FY2022 reflecting notably higher FTE deployment (26.9 FTEs across four prime contracts) that contracted to 4.5–8.1 FTEs in subsequent years. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, It Cadre self-performs all work with zero sub-engagement; government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts average around $243.76 per hour (median), with senior labor pricing reaching $438.90 per hour at the 90th percentile.

Customer concentration flows heavily to the Air Force and its subordinate commands. The top five customer organizations—GSA Federal Acquisition Service, the Air Force Air Education and Training Command, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Air Force proper, and the Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service—account for 56% of combined potential value across all awards. GSA leads by award count (five awards, $62.8 million combined potential value), driven largely by It Cadre's seat on the Multiple Award Schedule, which hosts 11 task orders worth $28.8 million combined potential value. The Air Force and its components dominate by dollars, with Air Education and Training Command alone accounting for three awards totaling $31.3 million potential value. It Cadre has worked with 36 distinct federal agencies across recent awards, reflecting broad reach into defense (DoD components, DISA, AFRL, Army Cyber Command) and civilian agencies (VA, SSA, OCC, OPM, SBA, and others).

Awards per year show relative stability at five to nine awards annually from 2022 through 2025, with only two awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date as of May 15, 2026. However, a recompete cliff looms: ten awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $82.7 million, representing approximately 31% of It Cadre's total award portfolio at risk of expiration and recompete. The largest exposure includes the $29 million Air Education and Training Command DAF Business Mission Area contract (completing February 2027), the $13.8 million Air Combat Command cyber workforce talent management contract (completing August 2027), the $8.7 million Air Force Chief Data and AI Office visualization contract (completing July 2030, outside the near-term window but material), and the $11.1 million OSD visualization engineering contract (completing September 2030, also beyond the window). The company's combined potential value across all 53 prime awards stands at $263.9 million, with $102.6 million obligated to date (39% of potential value).

It Cadre's recent award trajectory shows concentration within SBIR Phase III mechanisms, which have funded the majority of its Defense Business System and visualization-analysis work. The company competes across full-and-open definitive contracts, delivery orders under GSA schedules, and OTA vehicles; the May 2026 OTA award from the Air Force valued at $1.783 million for medical community readiness analytics and deployment management tools extends through December 2026 and signals continued defense modernization demand. All 53 awards are prime contracts (100% prime split, zero sub work recorded), indicating It Cadre operates as an independent delivery vehicle rather than as a subcontractor to larger primes, and carries no active teaming obligations in the source data.
