R3 Strategic Support Group Inc.

R3 Strategic Support Group Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business headquartered in San Diego, California, delivers explosive ordnance disposal instructor training, maritime expeditionary security support, and logistics and technical services to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards), competing predominantly full-and-open on Seaport Next Generation and Air Force IDIQs rather than set-aside vehicles despite its SDVOSB and small disadvantaged business certifications.

R3's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward defense operations. The top five funding agencies account for 76% of awards by count, anchored by the Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command (61 awards, $13.2 million combined potential value) and the Department of the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (30 awards, $159.2 million). However, the potential-value ranking diverges sharply: Naval Sea Systems Command anchors 99% of combined potential value across just seven awards totaling $10.04 billion, driven by a single $950 million IDIQ with United States Special Operations Command for core support services and a $10.04 billion Naval Sea Systems Command vehicle. This concentration reflects R3's position on large-ceiling indefinite delivery contracts that generate massive potential-value figures relative to actual obligated spend (only $226 million, or 2% of potential value, has been obligated across all awards).

R3 holds three primary contract vehicles. The Air Force Indefinite Delivery Contract FA445213D0001 is the volume leader, carrying 117 task orders valued at $23.5 million combined potential value. Seaport Next Generation, a Navy-managed GSA IDIQ for expeditionary combat and professional services, anchors 26 task orders worth $155.5 million. SeaPort-e, another Navy vehicle, carries 13 task orders valued at $61.1 million. R3 also holds seats on the OASIS+ Total Small Business Set-Aside IDIQ (awarded December 19, 2024, with a ceiling through December 18, 2029) and the OASIS+ Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business IDIQ (awarded September 30, 2024, through September 29, 2029), both government-wide vehicles managed by GSA's Federal Acquisition Service across seven functional domains including management, technical and engineering, R&D, intelligence, environmental, facilities, and logistics.

Recent representative delivery orders illustrate R3's capability footprint. On the Navy side, R3 holds a $10.6 million Table of Allowances support services delivery order with Navy Expeditionary Combat Command extending through July 2031, a $19.76 million Tactical Education Unit instructor facilitator support order through May 2029, and a $10.19 million Center for Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Diving instructor diving services order through November 2030, all under Seaport-NXG. The company also won a $5.18 million boat trailer and watercraft service support delivery order for EOD Group One through May 2030. On the Air Force side, R3 holds a $43.9 million Air Education and Training Command IDIQ for EOD instructional services and a $106,714 Shaw EOD logistics support delivery order with Air Combat Command running through May 2026. The Army Research Development and Engineering Command awarded R3 a $21.7 million GSA Multiple Award Schedule delivery order for EXU-1 support services through September 2026.

Activity has been volatile. R3 received seven awards in 2021, declined to five in 2022 and four in 2023, then spiked to thirteen in 2024 and ten in 2025. Six awards (combined potential value $40.5 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure. Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts (a subset above the $150,000 threshold), R3 invoiced $38.6 million across FY2022–FY2024, with FY2024 showing 56.2 FTEs and $12.4 million in invoiced revenue. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI contracts run a median of $91.24 per hour, with the 10th percentile at $68.02 per hour and the 90th percentile at $134.18 per hour — reflecting a workforce mix of logistics specialists, analysts, and technical subject-matter experts. GSA Schedule labor categories span from SME I at $153.45 per hour to Program Manager at $282.97 per hour, with no security-cleared positions offered.

R3 operates primarily as its own delivery platform. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for an average of 11% of contractor hours, with nine named subs across the portfolio. Recent subcontract engagements include courseware design and development work under Chickasaw Aerospace on Navy training projects (October 2025), labor and Other Direct Costs support under Peraton Inc. for an RDT&E program (October 2024), technology-integrated services and training development for HII Mission Technologies Corp (June 2024), and subject-matter expert technical support under Applied Research Associates Inc. (April 2024). The company's subcontract footprint is lean relative to its prime activity, consistent with its positioning as a self-performing service provider rather than a prime-integrator model.

Mission areas include C-IED; Expeditionary Operations; Explosive Ordnance Disposal; Special Operations; Asymmetric and Irregular Warfare; and Joint and Interagency Operations, Mine Warfare, Undersea Warfare, Force Portection.
