Skinny Research And Development LLC

Skinny Research and Development LLC, based in Huntsville, Alabama, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business registered as a corporate entity and manufacturer of goods. The company specializes in providing specialized technical training and security services to federal agencies, with particular expertise in technical security countermeasures (TSCM), SCADA intrusion fundamentals, VOIP training, and technical surveillance courses. Since registering in SAM.gov in August 2018, the company has established itself as a prime federal contractor delivering critical security and investigative training to multiple departments within the federal government.

Skinny Research and Development LLC has delivered a diverse portfolio of technical training services across multiple federal agencies through nine prime contract awards valued at approximately $632,650. The company's primary client has been the Navy's Secretary of the Navy Criminal Investigative Service (SECNAV CGIS), which has awarded the contractor multiple purchase orders and blanket purchase agreement calls including a $87,785 TSCM courses contract in September 2023, an $85,720 SCADA intrusion fundamentals training order in May 2024, and a $71,880 AI-enabled TSCM training course call in January 2025. Additionally, the company has received significant contracts from other federal agencies: a $180,850 VOIP training contract from the Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security in December 2023, a $17,085 TSCM practical applications training order from the Department of Veterans Affairs in September 2024, and two recent 2025 awards including a $10,500 training services purchase order and an $89,850 Counter-Intelligence Technical Surveillance Countermeasure cyber applications course for Special Operations Command through the Air Force Air Mobility Command. The latter award was competitively awarded as a Total Small Business set-aside and requires delivery of a minimum of three courses during each performance period at the contractor's Tampa, Florida facility. Skinny Research and Development LLC has also served as a subcontractor to Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC on two service-related awards in December 2021 and April 2024. None of the company's prime contract awards utilized set-aside designations, demonstrating the contractor's ability to compete in open markets despite its small disadvantaged business status.

Skinny Research and Development LLC holds a single Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of the Navy's Secretary of the Navy Criminal Investigative Service, established in June 2023 with a $250,000 ceiling and an ultimate completion date of December 21, 2025. This TSCM training BPA enables SECNAV CGIS to efficiently procure technical surveillance countermeasures training courses from the contractor at its Huntsville, Alabama facility. Under this BPA vehicle, SECNAV CGIS has issued multiple firm fixed price task orders, including the previously referenced September 2023 TSCM course delivery and May 2024 SCADA intrusion fundamentals training orders, which together totaled approximately $173,500 of the BPA's $250,000 ceiling. The training services delivered under this IDV support the investigative and security mission of the Department of the Navy and represent the contractor's most substantial ongoing federal contract relationship.
