Lyme Computer Systems, Inc.

Lyme Computer Systems, Inc., doing business as Lyme Technology Solutions, supplies enterprise software licenses, IT hardware, and infrastructure equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) under Total Small Business set-asides across government-wide acquisition vehicles. This Lebanon, New Hampshire-based small business Subchapter S corporation competes predominantly under Total Small Business designations, with recurring presence on SEWP V, the Department of Commerce Network Infrastructure BPA ($750 million awarded November 2025 through November 2030), the DoD Enterprise Software Initiative IT Asset Management BPA, the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, and the newly awarded SEWP VI GWAC ($20 billion ceiling, effective November 2026).

Lyme's capability portfolio centers on resale and systems integration of commercial-off-the-shelf enterprise software—MATLAB and Splunk licenses dominate the recent award footprint—alongside Dell, Cisco, EMC, and Panasonic hardware procurement. Representative work includes a $461.3 million SEWP V delivery order from NOAA for MATLAB software licenses (2026), a $649.6 million delivery order from the National Cancer Institute for MATLAB license renewal (2026), a $1.245 billion SEWP V delivery order from Customs and Border Protection for biometric equipment (2026), and a $3.128 billion Department of Commerce Network Infrastructure BPA call for F5 load balancer hardware refresh (2026). Smaller orders typical of the portfolio span SOLIDWORKS renewals (frequently $20,000 to $250,000 range), forensic workstations, network switches, and desktop/laptop configurations across federal agencies.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward defense: Naval Sea Systems Command dominates both award count (1,385 awards, $129.6 million potential value) and dollar volume when paired with Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (295 awards, $679.6 million potential value, though the two rankings split suggests NISC anchors larger individual orders). The top five customers by award count represent 23% of awards and include the Office of Naval Research (514 awards, $7.1 million), NASA Shared Services Center (386 awards, $14.1 million), and Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (332 awards, $3.5 million). Civilian civilian customer presence appears through NOAA (284 awards, $16.6 million), the FBI (193 awards, $50.6 million), and DISA (156 awards, $32.9 million). The 587 distinct customer agencies signal broad federal reach, but naval and Air Force programs drive the majority of spend.

Vehicle holdings are substantial. Lyme holds seats on SEWP V (2,706 task orders, $268.6 million combined potential value), the Federal Supply Schedule GS35F4754G variant (4,683 task orders, $93.7 million), the Multiple Award Schedule broadly (1,214 task orders, $1.98 billion), the DoD ESI IT Asset Management BPA (434 task orders, $32.2 million), and the newly awarded SEWP VI GWAC (November 2026, $20 billion ceiling). The GSA MAS dominates order count and dollar potential, signaling heavy reliance on full-and-open competition against a broad reseller ecosystem; SEWP vehicles and the DoD ESI BPA anchor software licensing and specialized IT equipment across defense. The Department of Commerce BPA ($750 million) represents a strategic recent win, evidenced by multiple NOAA and Department of Commerce bureau task orders in 2026.

Activity has plateaued in recent years—489 awards in 2022 rising to a peak of 520 in 2024, then declining to 197 awards in 2026 (a partial-year snapshot as of mid-October). This flattening at high volume reflects market saturation on SEWP vehicles and MAS, where Lyme competes against dozens of established IT resellers. Recompete exposure is material: 120 awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $57.9 million, representing roughly 2% of Lyme's total pipeline but concentrated in SEWP V renewals and Department of Commerce BPA calls scheduled to roll over in late 2026 and 2027.

Lyme's subcontract footprint is sparse (3% of awards), reflecting its prime-contractor posture. Named subs place Lyme as a hardware/software supplier to Deloitte Consulting (maritime/submarine workforce development), Life Cycle Engineering (systems engineering for Navy), Lockheed Martin (Panasonic tablets and Dell equipment), Booz Allen Hamilton (IT reseller for EMAPS 2), and multiple defense primes for embedded equipment and licensing needs. The sub positions are typically small orders ($500,000 to $5 million) supplying hardware and software to larger prime contracts.

NAICS concentration underscores the reseller model: Electronic Computer Manufacturing (5,232 awards), Other Computer Related Services (2,984 awards), and Software Publishers (1,417 awards) dominate. PSC codes track similarly—Information Technology Software (2,751 awards), IT Support Equipment (1,811 awards), and IT System Configuration (855 awards)—confirming a narrow capability stack centered on software renewals and hardware configuration rather than custom systems integration or large-scale service delivery.

Lyme's 13,072 total awards and $53.07 billion combined potential value place it in the high-volume federal IT reseller tier, but only $659.3 million has been obligated (1% of potential value), a signal common to multiple-award schedules where ceiling values reflect multi-year or multi-user frameworks. The company competes predominantly under set-asides but operates on full-and-open vehicles like MAS, where price competition is intense and differentiation limited. Recent SEWP VI GWAC award signals continued presence on the newest generation of governmentwide vehicles, positioning Lyme to capture follow-on SEWP VI task orders alongside its existing SEWP V and MAS footprint.

Established in 1983 (WOSB, incorporated in 1984), Lyme Computer Systems transitioned November 25, 2008 to a 100% Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) Company, specializing in networking, security, IT forensics, hardware, software and interconnectivity.
