About the company
Shutterstock, Inc. operates as a direct federal prime contractor delivering subscription-based access to digital media libraries—including photographs, vectors, illustrations, video clips, and music tracks—to civilian and defense agencies through simplified acquisition purchase orders, with no set-asides used across its federal footprint. The company is a for-profit corporate entity headquartered in New York and competes in full-and-open federal procurement without SBA certifications. Shutterstock owns Pond5, Inc., a subsidiary in the creative-content space.
Shutterstock's federal capability is narrowly scoped: web-based subscription licensing to stock imagery and multimedia assets for federal graphic design, communications, training, and multimedia production. The company delivers no subcontracted work and operates as a direct service provider entirely through cloud-hosted platforms. Representative awards include a $207 thousand purchase order from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for stock imagery and video clips supporting the Office of Communications (September 2023–September 2026); a $199.1 thousand purchase order from the FBI Headquarters Division for photo library access (June 2024–June 2029); and a $36.65 thousand purchase order from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency for a stock images subscription to the Visual Information Division (April 2025–April 2029). All contracts are firm fixed price with typical durations of one to five years.
Customer concentration is broad but anchored by healthcare and justice agencies. The top five agencies by award count account for 52% of awards, led by the FBI Headquarters Division (18 awards, $341 thousand combined potential value) and the Social Security Administration (9 awards, $109 thousand). By dollar value, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services dominates with 6 awards representing $1.1 million (49% of total potential value), followed by the FBI, Social Security Administration, and Naval Sea Systems Command. NAVSEA represents the most frequent repeat customer with 9 subscription renewals since 2021, though individual award values remain under $33 thousand per contract.
Activity has remained relatively flat—three awards in 2022, five in 2023, three in 2024, four in 2025, and one in 2026 (year-to-date)—with ninety total federal prime awards spanning eighteen years. The combined federal potential value across all ninety awards stands at $2.2 million, with $1.8 million obligated. Four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $66 thousand), representing modest recompete exposure. The federal revenue stream is immaterial to the commercial creative-platform business and appears to be low-touch, transactional licensing rather than a material federal business line.
