Throughline, Inc.

Throughline, Inc. operates as a subcontractor-heavy engineering and consulting services firm, delivering technical support, engineering design, program management, and digital modernization services to the Department of the Navy with occasional Federal Emergency Management Agency work. The vendor competes as a prime on full-and-open purchase orders and federal grants but derives most of its federal activity from subcontracts placed by American Electronic Warfare Associates, Precise Systems, Inc., CDM Federal Programs Corporation, and The Compass PTS JV. Based in Washington, DC, Throughline operates as a for-profit corporate entity without formal SBA set-aside designations, competing open-market across Navy programs and civilian disaster-response functions.

Throughline's customer concentration is heavily skewed to the Department of the Navy. Naval Supply Systems Command accounts for 17 awards (47% of recent activity) with $5.4 million in combined potential value, while Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center, Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, and Naval Sea Systems Command split the remainder of Navy work. FEMA contributes two awards, rounding out a customer base of seven agencies across 36 total recent awards. The dollar concentration tracks with volume — NSSC's $5.4 million represents 95% of combined potential value across the portfolio.

Throughline's prime work is sparse. A December 2025 purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command for $14,999 covers aviation operations development services with December 2026 completion. A September 2022 grant award from the Defense Health Agency (AFPMB Dental Workforce Program) provided funding for a decision support application for vector control decision-makers and applicators, with completion in September 2025. Across prime awards, activity shows a spike in 2025 (eight awards year-to-date) versus two or fewer per year in prior years, though the combined potential value of $5.7 million and obligated amount of $9.2 million (161% of potential value) suggests a portfolio of smaller task orders and modifications rather than a few large vehicles.

Throughline holds seats on five Navy indefinite-delivery contracts: IDC N0010411DQA03 (11 task orders, $2.7 million combined potential value), N0042120D0071 (4 task orders), N0042125D0303 (3 task orders), 70FA6021D00000004 (2 task orders), and N0042118D0028 (2 task orders). The top vehicle, N0010411DQA03, anchors most of the traceable task-order activity in Throughline's known-value awards.

Subcontractor work dominates the portfolio — 13 of 36 awards (36%) sit as sub-awards, compared to 23 prime awards, but the sub work runs across a longer time horizon and greater total obligation. American Electronic Warfare Associates is the largest prime relationship, with eight named sub-awards spanning engineering support, digital modernization, visual mapping, and integrated combat environment services (most recent December 2025). Precise Systems, Inc. places Throughline on program management augmentation and brand design work for weapon systems and platform acquisition offices (most recent November 2025). CDM Federal Programs and The Compass PTS JV route consultant services and FEMA architect-engineer support, respectively. Throughline's sub-award scope clusters around engineering support, digital systems work, and technical visualization — the kind of augmentation services that feed larger primes on Navy acquisition programs.

Service Contract Inventory data shows Throughline reported zero prime SCI records but 18 named subcontractor records across FY2022 to FY2025, yielding roughly 8.9 FTEs in FY2022, 18.3 in FY2024, and 7.0 in FY2025. SCI is a partial view covering only federal service contracts above $150,000, excluding goods, classified work, and sub-$150,000 tasks; these figures represent a strict subset of Throughline's federal work and a smaller fraction of total enterprise activity. The FTE trajectory suggests variable staffing depth on subcontract delivery, with peak utilization in 2024 tapering toward the end of FY2025. Across the top NAICS categories, Throughline's work clusters in Other Computer Related Services (13 awards), Engineering Services (7), and R&D in Physical and Engineering Sciences (7), with secondary work in Graphic Design Services (4). PSC codes align with the technical posture — IT and Telecom services (11 awards) leading, followed by professional support for program evaluation and development (3), and specialized studies (2). Recompete exposure over the next twenty-four months is minimal — only one award (combined potential value $15 thousand) faces ultimate completion in that window.
