About the company
Research And Development Solutions, Incorporated, doing business as Rdsi, is a McLean, Virginia–based Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) that manufactures precision machined parts, electronic assemblies, antenna systems, and specialized naval components for the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor (99% of awards). The company operates as a Subchapter S corporation and competes predominantly in the unrestricted and set-aside space across multiple General Services Administration vehicles and Navy indefinite-delivery contracts.
Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) dominates Rdsi's customer base, accounting for 95 awards worth $10.68 billion in combined potential value—essentially all of the vendor's federal footprint. The top five customer organizations by volume and value align almost entirely with Navy commands: Department of the Navy (123 awards, $79 thousand), NAVSEA (95 awards, $10.68 billion), Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command (11 awards, $9.5 million), and subordinate Navy commands. This concentration reflects Rdsi's specialized focus on undersea systems, surface warfare electronics, antenna engineering, and cybersecure machinery control systems. Recent prime awards exemplify the portfolio: a $3.07 million firm-fixed-price purchase order from NAVSEA (February 2025) for task light kits, bridge light mitigation kits, and rigid filter cutting services with performance in Newport, Rhode Island; a $368,437 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order (January 2025) for umbilical cable assemblies (23 units) supporting undersea warfare, with 42-week delivery lead time to Naval Station Newport; a $486,752 delivery order (January 2023) for Type 18 Modernized Mast Test Sets fabricated in McLean; and a $45.03 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order (February 2022) under the Seaport-NXG IDIQ for antenna engineering and technical services including design, build, test, repair, and support of antenna systems.
Rdsi holds positions on five parent vehicles. The largest is an Indefinite Delivery Contract (N6660496D0023) carrying 52 task orders; two other Navy IDCs (N6339400D3101 and N6660401D0307) anchor 16 task orders each. Seaport-e generates 13 task orders worth $120.6 million in combined potential value. More recently, Rdsi was awarded seats on three GSA OASIS+ vehicles: OASIS+ Unrestricted (multiple award, awarded April 2025, no specified ceiling), OASIS+ Total Small Business (multiple award, set-aside, awarded December 2024, no specified ceiling), and OASIS+ Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (multiple award, SDVOSB set-aside, awarded September 2024, no specified ceiling). These recent OASIS+ positions broaden Rdsi's access to task orders across the federal customer base beyond Navy-centric work. Rdsi also holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with NAVSEA (awarded November 2024, running through November 2029) to fabricate, assemble, kit, and deliver printed and bare circuit boards and associated hardware to the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division.
Capability portfolio spans precision manufacturing, electronics assembly, and naval systems engineering. Top NAICS categories are Engineering Services (92 awards), Nonferrous Forging (20 awards), and Electronic Computer Manufacturing (12 awards); top PSCs include Support—Professional: Engineering/Technical (74 awards) and Support—Management: Logistics Support (38 awards). Work examples range from circuit card assemblies, battery assemblies, and co2 deployment assemblies to mast test sets, controller cards, umbilical cables, antenna systems, and cybersecurity engineering support. Performance locations include West McLean, Virginia (primary shop) and Newport, Rhode Island (for undersea systems work).
Activity has accelerated sharply. Awards per year moved from 1 in 2022 to 15 in 2024, though 2025 shows only 3 awards to date (snapshot as of March 2026). The vendor carries a modest recompete cliff: 2 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry $45.4 million in combined potential value. As a prime contractor, Rdsi operates its own delivery teams; subcontractor activity is minimal—only 3 sub awards in the source data, all as named subcontractor to Rite-Solutions, Inc. (two awards, March and June 2024, for imaging and electronic warfare systems engineering and trainer evolution hardware development at Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport) and Seacorp, LLC (one award, July 2021, for Code 15 training and human systems integration engineering). Service Contract Inventory coverage is sparse: 3 records spanning FY2022–FY2024 show Rdsi reporting as a named subcontractor only, with FTE trajectory declining from 2.7 FTEs in FY2022 to 1.7 FTEs in FY2024 on those capturable records. SCI captures only a sliver of Rdsi's federal services activity and excludes goods and product manufacturing, which dominate the award portfolio.
Corporate structure lists two named subsidiaries, both registered as Rdsi entities with identical SDVOSB and VOSB certification profiles.
