Nextgen Federal Systems LLC

Nextgen Federal Systems LLC, a HUBZone-certified small business and minority-owned firm, operates primarily as a prime contractor (78% of recent awards) delivering weather machine learning platforms, space systems integration, software development, engineering services, and AI/ML research and development to defense, intelligence, and civilian federal agencies. Headquartered in Morgantown, West Virginia, with operational facilities in Everettville, West Virginia, Nextgen competes predominantly under small-business set-asides (Total Small Business and HUBZone designations recur across its prime footprint), though it also holds full-and-open vehicles.

Nextgen's customer concentration spans 34 distinct federal agencies, but defense and intelligence buyers dominate by potential value. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command anchors the largest single vehicle—a $4 billion SEAPORT-NXG multiple-award IDIQ awarded January 2, 2025—though only a $500 minimum guarantee task order has been issued to date. The Department of the Air Force leads by award count and active obligations: ten Air Force awards carry $963.6 million in combined potential value, including a $28.4 million firm-fixed-price definitive contract for Weather Machine Learning Platform Operations (WXMLP OPS) software development and sustainment awarded September 25, 2023, and a $14.1 million Air Force SBIR Phase III follow-on for Weather Analysis as a Service (WA3S) awarded May 22, 2026. Customs and Border Protection represents Nextgen's largest DHS exposure: four awards total $217 million potential value, anchored by a $135.9 million HUBZone set-aside delivery order for aerospace engineering and analytical support to CBP Air and Marine Operations, awarded October 1, 2026, running through September 30, 2031 under the OASIS+ HUBZone Small Business IDIQ. The Department of the Army Materiel Command (RDECOM, CECOM) contributes eight awards worth $43.9 million combined potential value, including a $169.8 million ASTEROID program delivery order under OASIS SB awarded July 17, 2023.

Nextgen holds primary positions on multiple government-wide and agency-wide vehicles. The five highest-activity parent vehicles are the OASIS+ HUBZone Small Business IDIQ (seven task orders, including the CBP Air and Marine award), the One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services - Small Business (OASIS SB; seven task orders, $295.2 million combined potential value), and three Army/defense IDIQs (Trainer Developer II with five task orders; Indefinite Delivery Contract W56JSR19D0011 with five task orders worth $30.6 million; and W56KGY24D0005 with five task orders worth $4 million). Recent IDV additions demonstrate Nextgen's expanded reach: the Missile Defense Agency awarded a $151 billion SHIELD IDIQ (Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense) on December 29, 2025, with a ten-year ordering period through December 28, 2035; GSA awarded Nextgen seats on multiple OASIS+ family vehicles in late 2024 (OASIS+ Total Small Business Set-Aside IDIQ with no dollar ceiling specified in the source, OASIS+ Unrestricted IDIQ with no dollar ceiling specified, and OASIS+ HUBZone Small Business IDIQ with no dollar ceiling specified); and GSA awarded a POLARIS GWAC position on November 20, 2025, with no dollar ceiling specified in the source, designated HUBZone Small Business Pool through December 1, 2030. Nextgen also holds a single-award $8.6 billion FBI Blanket Purchase Agreement for Information Technology Supplies and Support Services 2 (ITSSS 2) awarded June 21, 2024, and a $900 million Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Architecture and Integration Directorate IDIQ for rapid prototyping and multi-domain systems development awarded December 9, 2022.

Activity grew strongly through 2024, peaking at 23 awards that year before moderating to 18 in 2025 and 6 year-to-date in 2026 (reflecting a partial-year snapshot). Seven awards carrying combined potential value of $271.3 million reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure across multiple customers. Service Contract Inventory data shows SCI-reported invoiced revenue across prime contracts of $19.6 million in FY2022, $21.3 million in FY2023, $18.8 million in FY2024, and $21.1 million in FY2025, supporting a volatile but stable baseline of 51–95 FTEs on SCI-reportable contracts. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI prime contracts span a median of $119.05/hr, with rates ranging from $85.66/hr at the tenth percentile to $138.24/hr at the ninetieth percentile, reflecting a mix of technical and operational labor. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 27% of contractor hours on average; Nextgen named 17 distinct subcontractors across these prime records, signaling a hybrid delivery model that builds internal capacity while tapping specialized subs.

Nextgen's subcontractor footprint includes teaming relationships with Radiance Technologies Inc. (National Air and Space Intelligence Center science and technical intelligence analytic capability support, GEOINT analysis workflow enhancement, and ICAM collection development), Agile Defense LLC (joint command and control warfare analysis labor, test and evaluation services, enterprise T&E support), J.F. Taylor Inc. (Joint Simulation Systems Program training system support and engineering), Leidos Inc. (C2IMERA command and control weapon system support), The Survice Engineering Company LLC (DOD Information Analysis Center basic center of operations), Systems Planning and Analysis Inc. (CBP border security mission engineering and systems support), Caci Technologies LLC (services and labor augmentation), ManTech Advanced Systems International Inc. (government services task orders), and JYG Innovations LLC (strategic communications support). These relationships position Nextgen as a capable aggregator of specialized defense and intelligence capabilities rather than a pure technology or services vendor.

Recent grant activity includes an NOAA SBIR Project Grant worth $349,932 awarded September 1, 2023, for the Machine Intelligence for Space Weather (MINTS) capability development (CFDA 11.021, NOAA SBIR Program), and earlier federal research grants from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center for heliophysics data analysis software extension ($189,923, May 5, 2022) and a multidomain-multimodal data dashboard for AI/ML applications ($183,107, July 1, 2023). SBIR and STTR awards recur heavily in Nextgen's recent history—the vendor has received Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III SBIR/STTR contracts from the Air Force, Air Force Research Laboratory, Naval Air Warfare Center, Office of Naval Research, NASA, and NOAA, reflecting a strong R&D innovation posture within the defense and civilian scientific communities.

Nextgen competes across a broad spectrum of NAICS codes and PSCs: the top category is Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (41 awards), followed by Computer Systems Design Services (16 awards) and Engineering Services (12 awards). GSA Schedule labor offerings span 95 categories at rates from $63.44/hr (Associate Technician, high school education, no clearance) to $263.36/hr (Computer and Information Systems Manager SME, bachelor's degree, 12+ years experience), with no security-cleared roles offered on the Schedule. This price spectrum, combined with the SCI median government-paid rate of $119.05/hr, suggests Nextgen's federal delivery leans toward mid-range technical and engineering labor rather than cleared senior executive or intelligence analyst roles.
