Merlin International, Inc.

Merlin International, Inc., doing business as Merlin Technical Solutions, operates as a veteran-owned small business prime contractor delivering enterprise cybersecurity software, licensing, maintenance, and implementation services to federal agencies across the Department of Defense, civilian departments, and defense-related components. The company competes predominantly under full-and-open procurement vehicles rather than set-aside contracts, though set-aside designations appear in a minority of recent prime awards.

Merlin International is headquartered in Vienna, Virginia and functions as both a prime contractor and value-added reseller of leading cybersecurity platforms including CyberArk, Veeam, Palo Alto Networks, Forescout, Zimperium, and Wickr. The company's capability portfolio centers on identity and access management, privileged account management, data protection and backup solutions, network security infrastructure, and enterprise software modernization. Representative prime work includes a $14.3 million CyberArk software subscription delivery order to Department of Defense Headquarters (awarded September 2025, performance through August 2029) under one of Merlin's two core blanket purchase agreements with Naval Information Warfare Systems Command; a $2.71 million Department of Justice Identity and Access Management delivery order under the Solutions for Enterprise Wide Procurement V GWAC (awarded March 2023, performance through March 2028); and a $1.37 million Commodity Futures Trading Commission definitive contract for Monster automated hiring solution recompete (awarded October 2025, performance through September 2030).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Navy operations and defense agencies. The top five funding organizations by award count represent 17 percent of all awards, with Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (141 awards, $1.66 billion combined potential value) and the Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center Austin (128 awards, $531.7 million combined potential value) as the two largest by volume. By dollar value, Naval Sea Systems Command dominates at $76.51 billion combined potential value across 66 awards, followed at significant distance by Naval Information Warfare Systems Command ($1.66 billion) and VA Tech Acquisition Center ($531.7 million). The divergence between volume and dollar rankings reflects Merlin's role as a delivery-order holder on Navy strategic procurement vehicles, particularly the two $979.38 million and $669 million single-award blanket purchase agreements with Naval Information Warfare Systems Command supporting the Department of Defense Enterprise Software Initiative.

Merlin holds positions on multiple government-wide vehicles and agency-specific contract families. The top parent vehicles by task order count are Solutions for Enterprise Wide Procurement IV (931 task orders, $794.3 million combined potential value), the Federal Supply Schedule GS35F0783M (865 task orders, $230.6 million), Solutions for Enterprise Wide Procurement V (108 task orders, $461.6 million), Alliant II (73 task orders), and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (58 task orders, $677.7 million). The two largest Merlin IDVs are the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command blanket purchase agreements: one valued at $979.38 million (ultimate completion September 2032, awarded September 2022) and one valued at $669 million (ultimate completion July 2029, awarded March 2025). Both support DOD Enterprise Software Initiative procurement of cybersecurity platforms, software licenses, maintenance, hardware, and implementation services across military branches.

Activity shows sustained growth: four awards in 2022 to ninety in 2025, with twenty-one awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date. Across all sources, 3,121 total awards have been recorded, with combined potential value of $112.07 billion, though only $1.59 billion (1 percent) has been obligated. Merlin holds 97 percent of awards as prime contractor; 3 percent are sub-awards. The near-term recompete exposure is modest: twenty-seven awards with combined potential value of $5.3 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.

Merlin delivers subcontracted work to several major defense contractors. Named primes include Booz Allen Hamilton (appearing on multiple Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation Defend-group bridge task orders and FAS Cloud Services Support work, with Merlin listed as a value-added reseller of cybersecurity software), Mantech Advanced Systems International (CDM Defend E bridge task orders and software renewals for EPA, HUD OIG, and other civilian agencies), CACI, Inc. — Federal (CDM Defend A bridge task orders for commercial-off-the-shelf and software-as-a-service provisioning), CGI Federal (Defend F dynamic federal enterprise network defense work), General Dynamics Information Technology (cloud products, tools, and portfolio of integrated value-oriented technologies integration), Leidos (Homeland Enterprise Information Technology Secure Services), and Consolidated Nuclear Security (Y-12 and Pantex management and operating contracts). Merlin also subcontracts on science and intelligence work, including netskope support and operations and maintenance services to Science Applications International Corporation on Office of the Comptroller of the Currency zero-trust modernization.

Service Contract Inventory captures $91.8 million in SCI-reportable invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2024 (prime contracts only): $37.2 million in FY2022, $30.9 million in FY2023, and $23.7 million in FY2024, reflecting invoicing decline on SCI-reportable service contracts despite growth in overall award volume. The dataset records zero FTEs across all three fiscal years; SCI submission shows zero contractor labor hours reported, indicating Merlin's delivery on these contracts is primarily goods and software licensing rather than labor-intensive services. Across Merlin's prime SCI contracts, zero percent of hours were subcontracted, and 16 total named subcontractors appear across the prime service contract portfolio.

The corporate structure includes the parent Merlin International, Inc., plus two named subsidiaries: ISG Federal, LLC (limited liability company) and Constellation Govcloud, Inc. (a manufacturer of goods).
