About the company
Purple Urchin Inc., a women-owned small business based in Manassas, Virginia, operates exclusively as a subcontractor delivering software development and systems integration labor to the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command. The vendor holds SBA Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) certification and competes under the WOSB set-aside category across its entire federal footprint.
Purple Urchin's federal award activity is concentrated and nascent. The vendor has received four subcontract awards totaling $212 thousand in combined obligated dollars, all placed by Lockheed Martin Corporation under what appears to be an integrated command post (ICP) BUILD program. All four sub awards fall under NAICS 336411 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), indicating work on naval systems integration and software development. Representative sub awards include software development labor (January 2024), additional software development labor and integration support (August 2024), JAOS labor (December 2024), and BUILD 22.21 integration support and JAOS labor (February 2025). The Navy Information Warfare Systems Command is the sole customer agency across the four awards.
Activity shows minimal volume — three awards in 2024, one in 2025 — with the most recent sub award dated February 2025. The vendor has no prime contracts, IDVs, or grant awards in the source data; Purple Urchin operates entirely in the subcontract space under Lockheed Martin. The small dollar magnitude and sub-only posture position the vendor as a labor-augmentation supplier to a large defense prime rather than as an independent federal contractor with direct customer relationships or vehicle access.
