Oneida Communications, Inc.

Oneida Communications, Inc., a Native American-owned, minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, provides IT infrastructure services, communications cabling, and distributed antenna system (DAS) operation and maintenance to the National Institutes of Health as a prime contractor exclusively under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS). The vendor operates 100% as a prime contractor across 183 recent federal awards, with no subcontractor role in the dataset, and competes predominantly in full-and-open (non-set-aside) categories, though holds a Total Small Business designation on select awards.

Customer concentration is stark and structural. The Department of Health and Human Services, within which NIH operates, accounts for the overwhelming majority of Oneida's federal footprint. The top five named NIH entities within HHS account for 68% of awards by count and 93% of combined potential value. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences leads by dollar magnitude at $128.1 million across 15 awards, followed by the NIH Center for Information Technology at $75.7 million across 13 awards, and the National Library of Medicine at $70.6 million across 52 awards. The Office of the Director and Office of Acquisition Management and Policy together account for an additional $5.9 million. Across 25 distinct federal customer agencies in the dataset, Oneida operates almost entirely within the NIH ecosystem, with negligible presence elsewhere.

Oneida's capability portfolio centers on cabling infrastructure, IT support, and distributed antenna systems for the NIH's Bethesda and Westlake, Maryland campuses. Recent representative awards include a $11.3 million delivery order from NIH's Center for Information Technology (awarded July 11, 2026, through July 10, 2029) for professional services to develop, integrate, and maintain the NIH Information Transport Systems outside plant cabling infrastructure under the MAS, a $13.1 million delivery order (awarded August 7, 2024, through August 6, 2028) for cellular distributed antenna system operation under the MAS, and a $15.9 million delivery order (awarded January 11, 2023, through July 10, 2026) for IT professional services supporting information transport systems under the MAS with Total Small Business set-aside. A $19.3 million blanket purchase agreement call (awarded September 1, 2021, through April 20, 2026) covered professional services for cabling support. Smaller ancillary work includes a $253,613.82 BPA call for emergency blue light phone operations and maintenance and a $47,700 purchase order for distributed antenna system maintenance at Fort Detrick's Integrated Research Facility.

Vehicle position is narrowly concentrated. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule dominates the footprint with 115 task orders valued at $245.6 million combined. The IT Schedule 70 vehicle holds 66 task orders worth $21.3 million. An Indefinite Delivery Contract (INDNBCHD040012) carries 29 task orders valued at $2.5 million. The 8(a) Streamlined Technology Acquisition Resources for Services (8(a) STARS) vehicle holds 16 task orders worth $15.9 million, the only apparent GWAC presence. An Indefinite Delivery Contract (FA860405D0078, likely an Air Force vehicle) holds 6 task orders with value not specified in the source.

Activity trajectory shows material volatility. Awards per year declined sharply from 10 in 2022 to 2 in 2023, 1 in 2024, 1 in 2025, and 2 in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across 183 total awards stands at $307.7 million with $164.9 million (54%) obligated to date, suggesting substantial unexercised ceiling on multi-year vehicles — particularly the large NIH cabling and DAS contracts. Only 10 awards valued at $6 million reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, limiting immediate recompete exposure relative to the vendor's total footprint.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue for federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold shows $19.3 million across fiscal years 2022–2024: $5.1 million in FY2022, $6.1 million in FY2023, and $8.2 million in FY2024. The SCI dataset captured 30 prime records and 1 subcontractor record across 31 total records, confirming the vendor's pure-prime posture on reportable service contracts. Estimated federal workforce deployed against these contracts ran 31.2 FTEs in FY2022, dipped to 18.6 FTEs in FY2023, then grew to 50.0 FTEs in FY2024. On GSA Schedule labor, Oneida offers four active categories spanning Help Desk Technician through Project Manager roles at $86.07–$150.63 per hour, with education requirements from high school through bachelor's degree and no security-clearance roles. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts median around $78.62 per hour, with 10th percentile at $73.77 and 90th percentile at $216.42, reflecting a mix of technician and professional labor. The vendor carries zero subcontractor hours share across its prime service contracts, indicating internal-labor-only delivery.

Oneida's NAICS profile spans Computer Systems Design Services (103 awards), Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors (42 awards), and Other Computer Related Services (29 awards), grounding the vendor's identity in both IT service delivery and physical cabling and infrastructure installation. Primary PSC codes track Support—Professional: Program Management and Support (71 awards) and IT and Telecom—Other IT and Telecommunications (42 awards), confirming capability framing centered on NIH campus IT infrastructure, cabling support, and distributed communications systems.
