Qwaltec Inc.

Qwaltec Inc. is a woman-owned small business based in Tempe, Arizona, that has been registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since June 2001. The company holds SBA certification as a Women-Owned Small Business and operates as a for-profit, Subchapter S Corporation. Qwaltec specializes in providing engineering support, satellite operations, and technical services to federal agencies, with a particular focus on defense and space exploration sectors. The company has established itself as a reliable government contractor through both prime contract awards and subcontract engagements, serving agencies including the Navy, Air Force, and NASA with specialized technical expertise in satellite communications, on-orbit engineering, and instructional support.

Qwaltec's prime federal contract portfolio demonstrates significant expertise in satellite operations and instructional support services. The company has received three purchase order contracts from the Naval Education and Training Command for FLTSATCOM laboratory instruction support, with awards spanning from May 2023 through July 2025, totaling approximately $28,853 across these three contracts. The most substantial prime contract award is a $20.9 million delivery order issued by the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command on August 13, 2021, for on-orbit engineering services supporting Naval Satellite Operations Center (NAVSOC) missions at Naval Air Station Point Mugu, California, with performance extending through July 31, 2026. This delivery order was awarded through the Seaport Next Generation (Seaport-NXG) contract vehicle, a Department of Defense-wide indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity procurement mechanism designed to provide engineering and technical services to naval and defense organizations. As a subcontractor, Qwaltec has partnered extensively with Peraton Inc., receiving subcontract awards beginning in February 2022 for work encompassing advanced communications capabilities for exploration and science systems, engineering and site support services, STPSat-6 and SAGE support, Orion support services, Lunar Exploration Ground Sites (LEGS) development, Blossom Point Digital Forward Services, and Lunar Navigation Ground Segment Sustainment (SGSS) software and information technology support. These subcontracts reflect Qwaltec's deep involvement in space exploration, satellite communications, and advanced engineering initiatives supporting both defense and civilian space missions.

Qwaltec's federal grant work indicates participation in space science and exploration research initiatives, primarily through subgrant awards from Arizona State University. The company received subgrant awards for two significant space research projects: the Lunar Polar Hydrogen Mapper—Part 2 (LunaH-Map) Phase E and F, with awards dated January 25, 2021, and December 8, 2021, and the Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS) project for monitoring high-energy radiation environments of exoplanets around low-mass stars, with awards dated December 8, 2021, and May 16, 2022. These grants were funded through federal space exploration and scientific research programs, with Arizona State University serving as the prime grantee. The nature of Qwaltec's participation in these grants reflects the company's technical capabilities in satellite systems, space science instrumentation, and advanced research support, indicating involvement in Phase E and F development stages of lunar mapping missions and exoplanet research utilizing CubeSat technology.

Qwaltec holds two significant Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts that position the company to compete for task orders across a broad range of federal agencies and mission requirements. On April 15, 2025, the company was awarded a position on the OASIS+ Total Small Business (OAS+SB) Multiple Award IDIQ contract administered by the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service, with a $999.99 billion ceiling value and performance period through April 14, 2030. This vehicle encompasses seven functional service domains including Management and Advisory, Technical and Engineering, Research and Development, Intelligence Services, Environmental Services, Facilities, and Logistics, with a Total Small Business Set-Aside designation restricting competition to small business concerns. More recently, on June 12, 2025, Qwaltec was awarded under the OASIS+ SBA-Certified Women-Owned Small Business (OAS+WO) Multiple Award IDIQ contract, also administered by the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service, with an identical $999.99 billion ceiling value and performance period through June 11, 2030. This women-owned small business IDIQ is structured as a governmentwide Multiple Agency Contract vehicle enabling federal agencies to issue competitive task orders specifically to women-owned small business concerns. Both vehicles serve as acquisition solutions for integrated services and represent significant platforms enabling Qwaltec to pursue task orders from civilian and defense agencies, leveraging the company's demonstrated capabilities in engineering services, satellite operations, technical support, and specialized services to federal clients. These IDIQ vehicles position Qwaltec to compete for work aligned with its core competencies across multiple federal agencies throughout the five-year performance periods.
