Nextstep Technology Inc.

Nextstep Technology Inc., a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, provides facilities maintenance and management, administrative support, program management, and IT services to federal agencies primarily as a prime contractor (97% of awards). The company operates across forty distinct federal customer agencies with a footprint skewed heavily toward Coast Guard facilities maintenance work; it competes predominantly full-and-open, with occasional 8(a) and total small business set-aside awards nested within larger GSA vehicles.

Customer concentration is extreme and unusual. The top customer by award count, the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard, accounts for 181 awards (58% of all awards) with only $25.9 million in combined potential value—indicating high-volume, low-dollar ordering. By contrast, the top customer by potential value is the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, which represents just five awards but carries $15.28 billion in combined ceiling value, anchored by a single unrestricted $151 billion IDIQ under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program awarded December 29, 2025. This asymmetry signals that Nextstep's revenue base rests on a few large IDVs rather than sustained task-order volume. The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (three awards, $76.6 million combined potential value), the Air National Guard (five awards, $40.9 million), and the Army National Guard Readiness Center (seven awards, $28.8 million) round out the top five by dollars.

Nextstep's primary parent vehicles and their task-order penetration reveal a portfolio weighted toward two distinct business lines: Coast Guard facilities support through a single high-volume IDC (HSCG8412DQEH001 with 165 task orders, $6.6 million combined potential value), and emerging large-contract IDVs and BPAs. The top vehicles include a Coast Guard IDC (165 task orders), a Department of Labor BPA (36 task orders, $5.2 million combined potential value), the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (15 task orders, $155.8 million combined potential value), the One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services - Small Business IDIQ (12 task orders, $129.1 million combined potential value), and ITE Solutions 3-Services (8 task orders). Four additional government-wide vehicles awarded in late 2024 and early 2025 signal strategic expansion: OASIS+ Total Small Business (awarded December 19, 2024, multi-billion ceiling), OASIS+ Unrestricted (awarded December 17, 2024, multi-billion ceiling), Polaris GWAC Small Business Pool (awarded December 30, 2024, multi-billion ceiling), and the newly awarded SHIELD IDIQ from the Missile Defense Agency. Together, these four vehicles carry no specified ceiling and represent a structural shift toward prime status on transformational defense platforms.

Recent representative work spans discrete capability areas. On the facilities and administrative side, Nextstep holds the $14.6 million Coast Guard Government Purchase Card Program Support Services delivery order (OASIS SB, no set-aside, ultimate completion September 2027) and a $2.2 million Army National Guard Facilities Management administrative support order (OASIS SB, September 2022 through March 2028). On program management and strategic advisory work, the company won a $9.47 million Army National Guard Aviation and Safety Division strategic synchronization engagement (OASIS+ SB, May 2025 through November 2030) and a $23.6 million Air National Guard J8 support services delivery order (OASIS SB, total small business set-aside, August 2024 through February 2029). On grant and financial-services support, Nextstep delivers a $3.3 million USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture grant management support BPA call (GSA MAS, September 2024) and a $75 million USDA Agricultural Research Service master BPA for financial support services (September 2023 through September 2028). A $28.1 million Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services medical record review delivery order for Risk Adjustment Data Validation (OASIS SB, total small business set-aside, September 2023 through September 2028) demonstrates civilian health-sector exposure. The recent $500 initial task order under the $151 billion SHIELD IDIQ (December 29, 2025, firm fixed price through December 2035) is a placeholder activation of the defense research and development platform.

Activity volume has compressed over the past five years—thirteen awards in 2021, declining to six in both 2022 and 2023, recovering to ten in 2024, and seven in 2025. Seven awards carrying $40.6 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure. The portfolio's combined potential value of $15.64 billion is inflated almost entirely by the $151 billion SHIELD IDIQ ceiling and the multi-billion OASIS+, Polaris, and OASIS+ Unrestricted vehicle ceilings; actual obligated dollars across all awards total only $158.2 million, or 1% of potential value, reflecting the typical gap between IDIQ ceilings and actual spending.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold reached $15 million cumulatively across FY2022–FY2024 ($2.8 million in FY2022, $4 million in FY2023, $8.1 million in FY2024), with contractor FTE counts rising from 14.4 in FY2022 to 34.6 in FY2024. These figures represent only SCI-reportable federal service contracts and exclude goods, micro-purchases, classified work, and any non-federal revenue; they understate total enterprise revenue. On SCI-reportable prime service contracts, median government-paid hourly rates ran around $70.66/hr, with the 10th percentile at $39.44/hr and the 90th percentile at $141.44/hr, signaling a labor mix spanning administrative, technical, and senior advisory roles. Nextstep engages subcontractors on roughly 12% of total contractor hours across its prime SCI records, naming seven subcontractors in the SCI dataset; the vendor's delivery model leans on its own staff rather than subcontractor-heavy outsourcing.

In its subcontractor footprint, Nextstep serves as a sub to Halvik, LLC on a recurring IT support services award at the National Guard Procurement Equipment Center, with six modifications spanning June 2022 through November 2025, indicating a stable teaming relationship on a single large prime platform rather than sub work across multiple primes. Corporate background indicates the vendor was California-based historically; address data shows current administrative presence in Alexandria, Virginia, with work performed across domestic locations including Arlington, Springfield, Yorktown, and Panama City, and subordinate installations at the organizational and installation levels on Guard and Army facilities.
