The customer concentration is heavily weighted to Department of Defense components. U.S. Cyber Command leads by dollar value with eight awards totaling $68.9 million combined potential value, anchored by a single-award indefinite delivery contract valued at $60 million (awarded September 25, 2025, through September 24, 2030) for SANS Essential Cyber Skills Training and Certification services. The Army Training and Doctrine Command follows with eight awards totaling $32 million combined potential value. Together these two customers represent 70% of total potential value across the vendor's footprint. The Army's PEO Enterprise Information Systems contributed two definitive contracts totaling $28.6 million for Advanced Cyber Industry Training at Fort Gordon. The Air Force's Air Education and Training Command placed eleven awards (combined potential value $6.9 million), including cybersecurity training for the Royal Moroccan Air Force under Foreign Military Sales funding. The vendor has also served the Department of Education Office of the Inspector General, the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard, and smaller customer sets across twelve distinct federal agencies total.
