Jovian Software Consulting LLC

Jovian Software Consulting LLC, a woman-owned small business headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, operates as a prime contractor on defense aviation software and drone development work and as a subcontractor on Army engineering and systems readiness programs. The vendor is minority-owned (Subcontinent Asian American), organized as a limited liability company, and competes predominantly as a subcontractor (89% of recent awards) rather than as a prime, with 61 total awards across the federal footprint showing heavy Army concentration.

Jovian's prime work centers on drone software development and hardware procurement in support of Executive Order 14307. In March 2026, the Department of Defense's Program Executive Office Aviation awarded Jovian a $1.375 million firm-fixed-price delivery order for drone software development with a March 2027 completion date, place of performance in Grand Rapids. That delivery order sits under a Basic Ordering Agreement with Army Contracting Command-Redstone Arsenal (award date December 30, 2025, ceiling through December 2030) for drones and drone components. The BOA carries no obligated funds itself but frames future ordering authority.

Jovian's subcontractor footprint is concentrated with a single prime — Torch Technologies Inc. — which accounts for the vast majority of sub awards. Across sub work from late 2022 through October 2025, Jovian delivers engineering services in support of the Program Office Future Vertical Lift, lifecycle engineering for the Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center, and specialty engineering and technical support for the Systems Readiness Directorate. This work spans systems engineering, air vehicle integration, test and evaluation, mission systems, production and quality engineering, and sustaining engineering on the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft program. A single sub award from Georgia Tech Applied Research Corp (October 2021) covered advanced avionics research and systems engineering for Army aviation platforms under a five-year effort.

Customer concentration sits entirely with the Department of the Army and its subordinate commands. The top five customer entities account for 98% of awards, led by Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Missiles and Space (33 awards), the Army broadly (19 awards), and Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (5 awards, $14.8 million combined potential value). GSA Federal Acquisition Service accounts for a single award carrying $3.5 million potential value on the Multiple Award Schedule. Army PEO Aviation holds 2 awards ($1.4 million combined potential value). Across the full award portfolio, combined potential value is $19.7 million, with combined obligated dollars at $20.7 million — a slight overage suggesting award volume and value concentration in a narrow recent window.

Jovian holds seats on two parent vehicles: the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (34 task orders, $12.8 million combined potential value) and the Responsive Strategic Sourcing for Services contract (19 task orders). An Information Analysis Center Multiple-Award Contract and a legacy Indefinite Delivery Contract (W31P4Q18D0002) each carry one task order; the Basic Ordering Agreement with Army Contracting Command carries one task order ($1.4 million, the sole award facing recompete within the next twenty-four months).

Activity trajectory shows material recent growth. Awards per year ran at two in 2022, four in 2023, then jumped to 35 in 2024 before moderating to 13 in 2025 and one in 2026 (as of mid-March). The concentrated spike in 2024 drove the bulk of the dollar volume; the single recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months ($1.4 million) represents minimal near-term risk relative to the installed base, though the recency and concentration of 2024 awards suggest significant activity may age into recompete window in 2025–2026.

Service Contract Inventory reporting captures only two records, both as named subcontractor work, with 4.6 FTEs delivered in FY2024. This partial SCI snapshot reflects Jovian's heavy sub-prime posture and does not represent total federal revenue or enterprise workforce. Jovian's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans twelve engineering and program-management categories, priced from $86.43/hr for entry-level bachelors-level engineers through $312.10/hr for masters-level subject-matter experts with 24 years of experience. No security-cleared labor roles are offered on the Schedule. The rate spectrum aligns with technical engineering delivery, supporting the vendor's core competency in aviation and drone systems engineering rather than defense or classified work.
