Partner Forces LLC

Partner Forces LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Arlington, Virginia, holds prime positions on two transformational defense IDIQs (the $151 billion Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense contract with the Missile Defense Agency and a $4 billion SeaPort-NXG vehicle with Naval Sea Systems Command) and operates as both a prime contractor under GSA's OASIS+ small business set-asides and a subcontractor to larger primes on federal consulting and engineering work. The firm is SBA-certified as a Women-Owned Small Business and self-certified as a Small Disadvantaged Business, competing predominantly under set-aside vehicles (OASIS+ WOSB, OASIS+ Total Small Business) and full-and-open defense contracts rather than unrestricted civilian procurements.

Partner Forces' customer concentration is heavily weighted toward defense and homeland security agencies. The Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command accounts for $4 billion in combined potential value (two awards), while the Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration, the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency each contribute smaller task orders. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service ranks fourth by potential value at $2 million across three awards, reflecting Partner Forces' leverage of GSA vehicle positions. The top five customers cover 76% of award count; the Navy alone represents 100% of combined potential value, driven by the SeaPort-NXG IDIQ ceiling. Partner Forces has served nine distinct federal agencies across its recent award set.

Partner Forces places significant work through GSA's Multiple Award Schedule (12 task orders, $5.4 million combined potential value) and holds prime positions on two OASIS+ IDIQs awarded in FY2024–FY2025 — the OASIS+ Women-Owned Small Business vehicle (September 2024, multi-year performance through September 2029) and OASIS+ Total Small Business (December 2024, performance through December 2029). The firm also competes under Alliant II (5 task orders) and IT Schedule 70 (2 task orders). Representative prime work includes a $1.64 million woman-owned small business delivery order from TSA (September 2024) for pipeline corporate security reviews and analysis under the GSA MAS, a $963 thousand WOSB delivery order from TSA (September 2023) for critical facility security reviews and data analysis, and a $686 thousand Total Small Business delivery order from TSA (March 2023) for pipeline relative risk ranking analysis. The firm also anchors a $2.16 million Total Small Business TSA delivery order (October 2021) for operational support and data analysis on pipeline systems at critical facilities nationwide.

Capability portfolio centers on homeland security infrastructure assessment, pipeline and critical facility security analysis, risk ranking and threat assessment, emergency management consulting, and professional services across management advisory, technical engineering, and research and development domains. On the OASIS+ vehicles and GSA MAS, Partner Forces competes across seven functional domains — Management and Advisory, Technical and Engineering, Research and Development, Intelligence Services, Environmental Services, Facilities, and Logistics — reflecting broad consulting and engineering reach. On defense platforms, the firm qualifies to perform across research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, disruptive technologies, cybersecurity, and modernization work under SeaPort-NXG and SHIELD. The firm's GSA labor portfolio spans 86 unique categories ranging from $61.08/hr (junior database architect) to $341.14/hr (program manager with master's degree and 15 years' experience), with no security-cleared roles offered and education requirements from bachelor's through master's level.

Activity has accelerated in recent years — one award in 2021, one in 2022, four in 2023, seven in 2024, and nine in 2025 — with particularly sharp growth in the defense sector coinciding with the SHIELD and SeaPort-NXG awards in late 2024 and December 2025. Partner Forces splits its recent footprint between prime contracts and IDVs (48% of 25 total awards) and subcontract positions (52%), positioning the firm as both a prime competitor and a downstream performer for larger systems integrators. On subcontract work, the firm executes technical engineering support services and IT professional services through ECS Federal (five sub awards, July 2025 through December 2025, focused on labor funding and ceiling adjustments), delivers hazard mitigation and emergency management consulting to CDM Federal Programs Corporation (four sub awards, March 2024 through October 2024), and performs emergency management assessment work under Accenture Federal Services (two sub awards, March and July 2023). On SCI-reportable prime contracts, invoiced revenue reached $1.1 million in FY2022, $1.4 million in FY2023, and $1.1 million in FY2024 (covering roughly 2 to 3 FTEs per year), with median government-paid rates around $222.91/hr and senior roles priced through $305.56/hr; FTE trajectory in the SCI data reflects volatile reporting as the firm's work shifted between prime and sub engagement. The combined obligated amount across all awards stands at $22.1 million against $4.01 billion in combined potential value, indicating substantial unexercised ceiling across the two defense IDIQs.
