Scientific Research Corporation

Scientific Research Corporation, doing business as Scientific Research Corp, operates as a prime contractor (99% of awards) and occasional subcontractor across federal defense, intelligence, and civilian sectors, delivering command and control systems integration, electronic warfare solutions, naval systems integration, cybersecurity operations, and technical support services. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, established in 2002, competing on an unrestricted full-and-open basis across its prime contract footprint with no characteristic set-aside posture.

Scientific Research Corporation's customer concentration is heavily Navy-focused. The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command dominates both award volume and dollars—4,038 awards carrying $17.38 billion combined potential value (84% coverage of top five agencies' awards). The Navy broadly accounts for over $27 billion in combined potential value across the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Air Systems Command, and Naval Supply Systems Command. Outside the Navy, the Office of the Secretary of Defense has awarded 210 orders worth $5.33 billion, the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base has 23 awards valued at $6.99 billion, and the Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations has 56 awards worth $3.54 billion. The concentration metrics reveal a two-tier customer structure: the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command anchors the volume tier, while Naval Sea Systems Command and Air Force Materiel Command anchor the dollar tier.

Across its prime vehicle portfolio, Scientific Research Corporation holds three major indefinite delivery IDVs and multiple GWACs. The largest vehicle by task-order count is an Internal Navy IDIQ (N6523608D6805) with 1,049 task orders totaling $412.6 million in combined potential value, followed by the SSC LANT Network Centric Communications Services vehicle with 625 task orders and $328.9 million combined potential value. Scientific Research Corporation also holds a $536.73 million multiple-award naval C4I integration vehicle (PMW 760 New Ship Construction C4I Integration) that generates recurring delivery orders for ship construction programs across Navy ship classes (CVN, LPD, FFG, LHA, T-AO, T-ATS, USV, LUSV). On the Air Force side, the vendor holds a $84.7 million single-award IDV for T-6 Texan II aircraft crash survivable recorder production and installation. At the civilian level, the company maintains a $52 million single-award IDV with the Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations for overseas construction engineering services, supporting embassy compound projects globally. Beyond defense vehicles, Scientific Research Corporation holds multiple seats on the General Services Administration's ASTRO GWAC (multiple awards, multiple $999.99 billion placeholder ceilings through November 2031) and was recently awarded a $151 billion multiple-award IDIQ by the Missile Defense Agency for the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program (awarded December 29, 2025, through December 28, 2035). The company also holds positions on the Seaport Next Generation (Seaport-NXG) Navy IDIQ and the C4ISR Cyberspace Science Research Engineering and Technology Integration 2019 (C4ISR Cyber 2019) multiple-award vehicle.

Representative prime work spans defense and state engineering services. Naval work includes a $233.38 million Seaport-NXG delivery order (September 2025) for Tactical Mobile systems engineering, development, integration, training, and sustainment across domestic, cooperative, and FMS programs through September 2030; a $271.49 million Seaport-NXG delivery order (December 2024) for ASE equipment and U.S. Coast Guard IPTS engineering and technical support; a $176.46 million Seaport-NXG delivery order (February 2024) for Network Security Integrated Product Team technical support, logistics, and integration through February 2029; and multiple C4I ship-construction labor orders under PMW 760 supporting CVN, LPD, FFG, and ancillary vessel programs. Air Force work includes an $84.7 million single-award IDV for T-6 Texan II crash survivable recorder production, with delivery orders issued through September 2028; a $49 million NCRC EPOS delivery order (May 2025) for National Cyber Range Complex event planning and operations at Eglin Air Force Base; and a $44.07 million Seaport-NXG delivery order (December 2024) for technical engineering and installation services at U.S. Space Command's National Space Test & Training Center. Civilian work includes a $6.12 million Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations delivery order (June 2026) for professional engineering services on the Lilongwe, Malawi New Embassy Compound project, and recurring third-party contracting and engineering support for embassy projects in Juba, Doha, Port Louis, Warsaw, Nicosia, Kigali, Praia, and other locations.

Activity has remained steady year over year at 43–50 awards annually (2022–2025), with 48 awards carrying combined potential value of $782.3 million facing recompete in the next twenty-four months, creating both recompete exposure and pipeline opportunity.

Scientific Research Corporation operates primarily as a prime contractor, with 99% of awards held as prime contracts and IDVs and only 1% as sub-awards. Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts, the vendor invoiced $915.3 million over three fiscal years (FY2022–FY2024): $161.6 million in FY2022 (852 FTEs), $191.3 million in FY2023 (1,024 FTEs), and $562.4 million in FY2024 (846 FTEs). The FY2024 surge reflects a ramp in major delivery orders, particularly naval and space-command programs. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates run around $114.00 per hour, with senior labor pricing reaching $294.10 per hour at the 90th percentile and junior rates at $75.48 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for approximately 12% of contractor hours on average, and the vendor names 187 distinct subcontractors in the SCI dataset. Named sub-relationships include teaming with General Dynamics Information Technology on naval systems integration and C4I labor; Tecnico Corporation and Orbis Sibro Inc. (both veteran-owned small businesses) on ship construction integration; Geodesicx Inc. (SDVOSB) and Ink To Think LLC (WOSB) on engineering and strategic communications; Booz Allen Hamilton on engineering and systems integration; and Rohde & Schwarz USA, Collins Aerospace Government Systems, Powell Electronics, and Nova Power Solutions on specialized RF, modem, networking, and power-distribution equipment. The teaming pattern reflects a prime-led delivery model where Scientific Research Corporation self-performs core systems engineering, program management, and integration work while engaging specialized equipment and staffing subcontractors to augment labor and supply components.

Scientific Research Corporation's federal footprint centers on Navy information warfare systems, command and control integration, and overseas facility engineering, with Air Force and civilian agency work secondary. The company's $168.27 billion combined potential value across 6,463 awards (99% prime) reflects deep positioning across multiple Navy vehicles and recent expansion into missile defense and space command programs. Annual obligated dollars sit at approximately $6.58 billion (4% of potential value), indicating substantial pipeline depth and multi-year delivery. The vendor has not pursued set-aside certifications (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB) and competes uniformly on full-and-open, unrestricted procurement across its prime contract base.
