Sayres And Associates LLC

Sayres And Associates LLC, doing business as Sayres Defense, is a defense contractor providing program management, engineering, logistics management, and integrated support services to the Department of the Navy and Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor (93% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to larger defense primes. The vendor operates as a for-profit limited liability partnership headquartered in Washington, DC, competing predominantly full-and-open (no set-aside designations across recent awards) and holding positions on multiple government-wide vehicles including OASIS+ Unrestricted, ASTRO, and Seaport-NXG.

Customer concentration is acute and dollar-weighted toward the Navy. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) anchors the portfolio with 34 awards representing $10.5 billion in combined potential value — nearly half of Sayres Defense's total pipeline. This stands against 44 awards to the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 that carry only $7 million in potential value, illustrating the tension between award count and dollar value. The top five customer entities by potential-value ranking account for 49% of combined potential value and include GSA Federal Acquisition Service ($134.3 million across 7 awards), Naval Supply Systems Command ($59.3 million), and VISN 16 ($12.1 million). The vendor serves 56 distinct customer agencies across recent work.

Sayres Defense's capability footprint spans two divergent streams: a high-dollar Navy engineering and program management practice, and a lower-value GSA Schedule goods-and-services base. The Navy work centers on shipbuilder support, combat systems engineering, and C4ISR systems integration. A $280.1 million delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command on Seaport-NXG (awarded March 29, 2023, ultimate completion March 31, 2029) covers program management, engineering, logistics management, integrated support, and on-site support at shipbuilder facilities for all PMS 325 programs; FY 2024 performance invoiced $18.7 million across 139 FTEs performing 289,531 contractor hours at a derived blended rate of $64.52 per hour, with 77% of hours subcontracted to 14 named subcontractors including Infinity Electrical Mechanical Automation LLC, RL Goodworks LLC, MPR Associates Inc., and Serco Inc. A bridge purchase order from US Fleet Forces Command (awarded March 23, 2026) provided $1.1 million for Bahrain readiness support services. A newly awarded multiple-award IDIQ from the Missile Defense Agency (December 29, 2025, ultimate completion December 28, 2035) carries a $151 billion ceiling spanning research and development, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, and cybersecurity for advanced multi-domain defense systems; work is performed in Huntsville, Alabama, and supports both classified and unclassified programs. The GSA Schedule footprint — 193 task orders under the Multiple Award Schedule for $86.3 million potential value — reflects a sign manufacturing and administrative services practice anchored in NAICS 3993 (Sign Manufacturing; 221 awards) and PSC Code R404 (Signs, Advertising Displays, And Identification Plates; 174 awards).

Sayres Defense sits on Seaport-NXG (25 task orders, $294 million potential value), SeaPort-e (19 task orders, $261.7 million potential value), OASIS+ Unrestricted (awarded December 17, 2024, ceiling of no dollar ceiling specified in the source, performance through December 16, 2029), and ASTRO (awarded November 15, 2021, ceiling of no dollar ceiling specified in the source, performance through November 14, 2031). The vendor operates predominantly as a prime contractor building its own delivery teams but engages substantial subcontractor labor; across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed 37% of total contractor hours. Named recurring subs include Booz Allen Hamilton, Koam Engineering Systems Inc., Serco Inc., Vectrus Systems LLC, and The Mil Corporation. The vendor also subcontracts to larger primes, with recent sub work under Booz Allen Hamilton on acquisition and integrated logistics support for PEO Integrated Warfare Systems (7 sub-awards, 2021–2025), Koam Engineering Systems on engineering support services for tactical data links and PEO C4I (6 sub-awards, 2023–2025), Serco Inc. on ship production planning and engineering systems (3 sub-awards, 2022–2025), and Vectrus Systems LLC on Fleet Situational Engineering and Training (FSET) program C4ISR systems operations and systems engineering (2 sub-awards, 2024–2025).

SCI-reported invoiced revenue (prime records) totaled $84.8 million across FY2022–FY2024: $33.5 million in FY2022 (157 FTEs), $17 million in FY2023 (81.1 FTEs), and $34.3 million in FY2024 (220 FTEs). On federal SCI-reportable service contracts, median government-paid rates ran around $96.45 per hour, with senior labor pricing through $110.91 per hour. The vendor maintains a GSA Schedule presence with 27 active labor categories ranging from $48.01 per hour (Coordinator) through $381 per hour (Senior Management Consultant), spanning high-school-educated coordinators through master's-degree engineering and management roles, with no security-cleared positions offered. Activity was relatively flat (5 awards in 2022, 4 in 2023) before growing to 11 awards in 2024 and 13 in 2025; only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months ($1.1 million potential value), placing minimal recompete pressure in the near term. Sayres Defense operates Joint Research And Development LLC as a named subsidiary.
