Nextstep Technology Inc.

Nextstep Technology Inc., a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor on federal administrative, program management, and specialized services contracts, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides and full-and-open vehicles. The company has built a substantial footprint across 41 distinct federal agencies, with a combined potential value across 305 prime awards (97% of total) reaching $15.65 billion, though only $163.7 million has been obligated to date. Recent SCI-reported invoicing on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $26 million cumulatively across FY2022–FY2025, with workforce scaling from 14.4 FTEs in FY2022 to 44.3 FTEs in FY2025.

Nextstep's capability portfolio centers on facilities support services, administrative and program management consulting, financial systems reporting and grants management, aviation strategic planning, and specialized support services across federal civilian and defense agencies. Representative prime work includes a $28.1 million Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services delivery order for medical record review contractor services supporting Risk Adjustment Data Validation under OASIS SB (issued September 29, 2023, through September 28, 2028); a $23.6 million Air National Guard delivery order for National Guard Bureau J8 support services under OASIS SB (awarded August 24, 2024); a $21.7 million Office of the Secretary of Defense delivery order for Joint Program Office support at Yorktown, Virginia, under OASIS SB (issued May 9, 2024, through May 8, 2029); and an $8.5 million Air Education and Training Command delivery order for Explosive Ordnance Disposal Equipment Management Services at Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (awarded December 31, 2023, through June 30, 2029).

Customer concentration is highly asymmetrical. By award count, the Coast Guard dominates with 181 awards at $33.2 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of Labor Office of Inspector General (39 awards, $5.4 million) and the Army National Guard Readiness Center (8 awards, $37 million). By potential value, however, the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command anchors the portfolio at $15.28 billion combined potential value across five awards — a structural outlier driven by Nextstep's position on the Missile Defense Agency's SHIELD IDIQ awarded December 29, 2025, with a $151 billion ceiling through December 28, 2035. The top five customers by potential value (Navy, USDA Agricultural Research Service, Army National Guard Readiness Center, Coast Guard, and Air National Guard) account for approximately 99% of combined potential value, creating significant concentration risk.

Nextstep sits on multiple high-value IDV vehicles. Most active are a Coast Guard indefinite delivery contract (165 task orders, $6.6 million combined potential value), a Coast Guard BPA (36 task orders, $5.2 million), and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (17 task orders, $157.2 million). More recent vehicle awards signal strategic positioning: the OASIS+ Total Small Business set-aside IDIQ (awarded December 19, 2024, ceiling $999.999 billion, 12 task orders including the $9.47 million Army National Guard Aviation and Safety Division award), the OASIS+ Unrestricted IDIQ (awarded December 17, 2024, ceiling $999.999 billion), the Polaris GWAC Small Business Pool (awarded December 30, 2024, ceiling $999.999 billion), and the Missile Defense Agency SHIELD IDIQ (ceiling $151 billion). A single-award Department of Labor Financial Services BPA awarded July 30, 2025, carries a $47.1 million ceiling through January 29, 2030.

Activity over the past five years shows modest prime award volume (six awards in 2022, six in 2023, ten in 2024, seven in 2025, one in 2026), with growth concentrated in larger delivery orders rather than award count. Six awards (combined potential value $74.7 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore represent recompete exposure. The Coast Guard represents the most acute recompete risk given the concentration of that customer base in smaller recurring task orders.

On SCI-reportable federal service contracts, Nextstep's invoiced revenue trajectory shows sustained growth: $2.8 million in FY2022, rising to $11 million in FY2025. Government-paid hourly rates across prime service contracts ran median $71.48 per hour, with a 10th percentile at $39.96 per hour and 90th percentile at $134.60 per hour, reflecting a blended rate spectrum across administrative support and specialized labor. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors perform approximately 14% of total contractor hours; Nextstep names ten subcontractors in SCI records, including Solutions Through Innovative Technologies Inc., Calibre Systems Inc., and Visual Connections LLC (a HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned business). Nextstep operates as a prime in 97% of its awards, with eight sub awards concentrated under Halvik LLC for IT support services (six modifications spanning June 2022 through November 2025).

Nextstep competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on OASIS SB, OASIS+ SB, and Polaris platforms, with full-and-open exposure emerging through GSA Schedule, the unrestricted OASIS+ vehicle, and the Missile Defense Agency SHIELD IDIQ. The company's self-certified small disadvantaged business status anchors its set-aside posture across civilian and defense customer bases. Recent IDV awards in late 2024 and early 2025 signal management intent to scale prime capacity on transformational acquisition vehicles serving the defense industrial base and civilian agencies simultaneously.
