About Perforce Software Inc.
Perforce Software Inc., doing business as 21 Labs, is a Minneapolis-based software vendor that sells development tools, code-quality assurance products, and application lifecycle management software to federal civilian and defense agencies as a prime contractor. The vendor competes in full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.
Perforce's federal capability portfolio centers on enterprise software development and maintenance — version control, static code analysis, compliance tooling, and scientific computing libraries. Representative recent work includes a $50,889 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Shared Services Center (award date June 29, 2026) for the Helix ALM Suite with twelve-month maintenance through June 2027; a $23,671 annual renewal from the Shared Services Center (November 2024–October 2025) for QAC++ desktop software and compliance module maintenance; a $90,966 purchase order from the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command (awarded December 2022, extended through November 2027) for PV WAVE software maintenance; and a $13,635 Internal Revenue Service purchase order (May 2024, completion May 2026) for Stingray Objective Grid development software licenses and maintenance. The vendor also holds a sub-award from Lockheed Martin (October 2024) for Rogue Wave software maintenance renewal, representing the vendor's minimal subcontract exposure.
Customer concentration is distributed across federal defense and civilian agencies rather than concentrated in one or two departments. NASA's Shared Services Center, the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Sacramento, the Air Force Sustainment Center, and the Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center account for 44% of recent awards by count. By dollar value, the Navy entities (Naval Air Warfare Center at $95 thousand and Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command at $91 thousand) and NASA's Shared Services Center ($79 thousand) drive the largest individual contracts. The vendor serves 28 distinct customer agencies across both rankings.
Awards are categorized primarily under NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers, 34 awards) and PSC IT Software (27 awards), reflecting the vendor's focus on software licensing and maintenance. Activity has remained modest and volatile — two awards in 2021, three in 2022, one in 2023, three in 2024, and one award in 2026 (recorded 2 weeks ago). Only two awards (combined potential value $142 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting immediate recompete exposure. The vendor's combined potential value across all fifty-five awards is $666 thousand, though combined obligated dollars total $979 thousand — a 47% overage indicating completion of funded work beyond the contract ceiling estimates.
Perforce Software holds a named subsidiary, Programming Research LIMITED, which carries the vendor's historical software-development and code-quality portfolio. The vendor's federal posture is characterized by small maintenance and renewal orders distributed across civilian and defense agencies — a recurring-revenue licensing model rather than large systems integration or development-services engagement.
