Pinnacle Management Systems, Inc.

Pinnacle Management Systems, Inc., a for-profit corporate entity based in Warrenton, Virginia, operates as a subcontractor to major defense primes, delivering engineering and technical consulting services to the Department of the Navy and the Department of Transportation. The vendor does not hold independent prime contracts on federal vehicles; 80% of recent awards are subcontract positions under larger contractors, primarily Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation.

Pinnacle's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward defense. The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command accounts for 12 awards (80% of recent contract count), all subcontract positions under the Northrop Grumman indefinite delivery contract N6600122D0057 for engineering services task orders. A single $1 billion prime award from the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Headquarters represents the vendor's largest potential-value asset and distorts the overall portfolio composition — that award dominates combined potential-value rankings while comprising only 6% of recent award count. A $500 thousand GSA Federal Acquisition Service order rounds out the three customer agencies represented in recent activity.

Pinnacle's award footprint shows sparse historical activity punctuated by recent growth. The vendor recorded one award in 2007, one in 2013, one in 2021, and twelve awards clustered in 2025 — all of the 2025 activity is subcontract positions under Northrop Grumman, dated July 31, 2025. Combined potential value across all 15 awards stands at $1 billion, but that figure is anchored by the single FAA transportation award; the remaining fourteen awards, predominantly Navy-directed subcontracts, carry substantially smaller individual magnitudes.

The vendor's named subcontract footprint centers on Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, where Pinnacle delivers engineering services and other scientific and technical consulting under multiple task orders on the RGS-A indefinite delivery contract. The 2025 subcontract activity spans task orders 2 and 3, with work classified as engineering services and other scientific and technical consulting under PSC and NAICS codes tied to support and professional services. Service Contract Inventory data shows minimal scale: across FY2022 and FY2024, SCI captured 2.9 FTEs in subcontractor roles, with only three records above the $150,000 reporting threshold. That level of SCI visibility reflects either low federal services-contract volume in that period, concentration of work below the SCI threshold, or classified activity not captured in the inventory.

The vendor's capability portfolio is anchored in engineering services and technical consulting, with secondary work in software publishing and custom computer programming. The concentration of work under Northrop Grumman on Navy information-warfare system task orders, combined with the single large FAA transportation contract, suggests capacity in systems engineering and aviation-related technical services, though the sparse award history and low FTE trajectory limit characterization of sustained delivery capability or scale.
