Noblis, Inc.

Noblis, Inc., a nonprofit science and technology organization headquartered in Reston, Virginia, delivers systems engineering, technical program management, environmental consulting, and specialized forensic research services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across defense, civilian, transportation, and national security missions without small-business set-asides or restrictions. The organization operates with a $39.37 billion combined federal potential-value footprint spanning 2,163 awards (98% prime, 2% sub) across 161 customer agencies, with SCI-reportable invoiced revenue of $1.01 billion across FY2022–FY2025 and a workforce footprint of roughly 600–880 FTEs delivering to the federal government annually.

Noblis competes full-and-open across its federal portfolio and operates a multi-subsidiary corporate structure that includes for-profit limited-liability entities (Noblis Msd LLC, Noblis Esi LLC, FTS International LLC) alongside its tax-exempt parent, diversifying its service delivery and revenue streams across contracting and commercial channels. The organization's core capability portfolio spans systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA) across DoD and civilian agencies; intelligent transportation systems modernization and connected-vehicle technology development; environmental restoration, remediation, and research (SERDP, ESTCP); forensic science research and "black box" validation studies; data analytics and cybersecurity; program management and strategic consulting; and IT modernization and enterprise architecture. Representative recent work includes a $4.2 million delivery order for ITS DataHub/CodeHub technical services with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), a $9.24 million advisory and assistance services order for the DHS Office of Health Security under OASIS+ Unrestricted, a $19.4 million environmental management delivery order for Air Force Enterprise Resource Planning with the Air Force Civil Engineer Center, a $17.8 million systems-engineering delivery order for Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction support with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, and a $26.2 million FedRAMP program management and technical ISSO order with GSA's Federal Acquisition Service.

Customer concentration is distributed across defense, civilian, and transportation agencies. The Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division anchors the dollar ranking with $9.33 billion combined potential value (90 awards), followed by FAA Headquarters at $8.48 billion (81 awards), NOAA at $3.2 billion (135 awards), the Internal Revenue Service at $2.69 billion (42 awards), and GSA Federal Acquisition Service at $1.19 billion (88 awards). By award count, FHWA leads with 166 awards valued at $877.9 million, NOAA with 135 awards, the Army with 126 awards, the Air Force with 98 awards, and Navy Information Warfare Systems Command with 92 awards. The split between volume and dollars signals that FBI and FAA place fewer, higher-value orders while FHWA and NOAA issue numerous smaller delivery orders across standing IDIQs.

Noblis holds significant parent vehicle positions anchoring sustained task-order placement. The Mission Oriented Business Integrated Services vehicle carries 254 task orders worth $537.2 million combined potential value; the FBI's Information Technology Supplies and Support Services 2 (ITSSS 2) single-award BPA, valued at $8.6 billion, issued a $12.57 million CTAOS development and engineering call on September 30, 2025; the FAA's Systems Engineering and Technical Innovative Solutions (SETIS) single-award IDIQ, a $2.268 billion vehicle through June 2028, has generated substantial placement; the FHWA's Technical Support Services for the Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office, a $200 million multiple-award IDIQ, carries extensive Noblis task-order volume; and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency's Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction 2024–2029 IDIQ, valued at $4 billion, anchors defense research and systems-engineering work. Noblis also holds or recently positioned itself on OASIS+ Unrestricted (GSA, no dollar ceiling specified, multiple award), Alliant 3 (GSA IT services GWAC through March 2036), the Missile Defense Agency's SHIELD IDIQ ($151 billion, December 2025–2035), the NIH's Strategic Technical ARPA-H Talent Support (STATS) contract ($998.96 million through January 2029), and the IRS's Enterprise Program Project Integration Services (EPPIS) BPA ($1.9 billion through August 2031, terminated for convenience March 2025).

Activity has grown modestly year over year—25 awards in 2022 to 40 in 2026 year-to-date—with 64 awards (combined potential value $1.57 billion) completing within the next twenty-four months and facing recompete. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Noblis self-performs approximately 88% of contractor hours, with subcontractors supplying 12% on average; named subcontractor footprint includes 407 firms. Named subcontractors on recent visible primes include I3 LLC (8(a) SDB), Anavation LLC, Network Designs Inc., Quecon Inc. (SDVOSB, 8(a)), Modern Technology Solutions Inc., Terrestris LLC (8(a) SDVOSB), Assurit Consulting Group LLC (8(a) SDB), Scarfone Cybersecurity (WOSB), Neaera Consulting Group LLC, Global-5 Inc. (SDVOSB), and others providing specialized IT, cybersecurity, transportation, and engineering support. On the sub-prime side, Noblis is named as a subcontractor to ECS Federal LLC, Evans Incorporated, Peraton Inc., Booz Allen Hamilton, Leidos, Institute for Defense Analyses, and others on FAA, Navy, Army, and multi-agency modernization efforts.

SCI-reported federal services labor is priced across a broad spectrum. Median government-paid hourly rate runs around $149.84 per hour, with the 10th percentile at $101.78/hr and the 90th percentile at $210.51/hr, reflecting a mix of junior technical and program-management roles through senior principal and director-level positions. GSA Schedule labor categories span entry-level IT specialists at $49.63/hr through senior cyber fellows and directors at $381.60/hr, with no security-clearance requirements posted. The workforce footprint shows relative stability at 600–880 FTEs annually, with FY2025 at approximately 860 FTEs self-reported to SCI across prime service contracts, down modestly from FY2024's 883 FTEs, indicating either selective task-order timing or completion of large-program phases. FY2025 invoicing of $264.7 million represents a flat-to-slight-decline posture from FY2024's $264.9 million, suggesting mature task-order and IDIQ activity without aggressive growth in near-term federal services revenue.

Federal grant activity, distinct from contracting, shows forensic-science and evaluation research specialization. Noblis is recipient on three recent NIJ project grants (CFDA 16.560) totaling over $2.4 million for black-box validation studies of gunshot residue distance determination, hand image comparison, and projectile comparisons by firearms examiners, all awarded 2023–2025 with completion through December 2027. Under NIST's Measurement and Engineering Research and Standards program (CFDA 11.609), Noblis holds a $249.9 thousand cooperative agreement for a bloodstain pattern analysis empirical study (January 2026–December 2027), and as a sub-grantee under National Academy of Sciences and National Center for Manufacturing Sciences grants, Noblis delivers expert consultation on forensic methodology standardization, black-box study design, and evaluation-plan execution. This grant footprint reflects organizational core competency in forensic science validation and standards development, complementing its larger federal contracting services base.

Recompete exposure within the next twenty-four months centers on FHWA intelligent transportation systems task orders (multiple delivery orders under the $200 million IDIQ due to complete by mid-2026 through mid-2029), NOAA surveillance and maritime operations contracts, IRS cybersecurity and user-behavior analytics bridges (some completed or terminating through early 2026), Army environmental and SERDP/ESTCP program support orders, and FAA air-traffic systems engineering work under SETIS and related vehicles. The FBI's ITSSS 2 BPA, anchoring $8.6 billion in ceiling value, extends through June 2032 with no disclosed recompete cliff in the source within twenty-four months.
