Skies The Limit Academy LLC

Skies The Limit Academy LLC, a woman-owned 8(a)-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Sterling, Virginia, provides childcare services, early education support, and military family program staffing to the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, and National Guard units as a prime contractor on small-business set-aside and full-and-open purchase orders, blanket purchase agreements, and indefinite delivery contracts. Founded in 2003 and registered in SAM.gov through at least November 2028, the company also holds EDWOSB, SDVOSB, DOT DBE, and VOSB certifications and competes predominantly under total small business and 8(a) set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

Skies The Limit Academy's customer base spans 42 federal agencies with heavy concentration in military and VA childcare. The top five funding agencies by potential value account for 76% of recent combined potential value: the Department of the Army (17 awards, $18.2 million), the Army National Guard California (40 awards, $5.1 million), VA's Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 (12 awards, $3.7 million), VA's Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 (3 awards, $2.7 million), and the Department of the Air Force (24 awards, $2.6 million). By award count, concentration is more dispersed — the Army Reserve Command, Army National Guard California, Army National Guard Utah, Air Force, and Department of the Army together account for 58% of the 302 awards. This tension reflects the vendor's dual profile: many small childcare task orders scattered across National Guard units (each low-value, high-frequency), paired with fewer but much larger contract vehicles and definitive contracts with core DoD and VA customers.

Recent awards demonstrate the company's scope expansion beyond short-duration event childcare. A $10.8 million Competitive 8(a) purchase order from the Army for child development center support services at Charleston, West Virginia runs through September 2029, with year-one exercise valued at $2.0 million. A $1.27 million definitive contract under total small business set-aside from VA's Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 provides childcare services at Chillicothe VAMC through August 2030. A $320 thousand Air Combat Command purchase order from Beale Air Force Base covers CCAF (Community College of the Air Force) advisement and customer service support through September 2029, marking expansion into academic advising alongside childcare. A $469 thousand VA American Lake facility drop-in childcare purchase order (no set-aside) runs through September 2026. Childcare-focused awards include a $408 thousand Air Force 8(a) sole-source purchase order for test administrator and computer technical support at Langley AFB through November 2030, and multiple smaller purchase orders and BPA calls supporting Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program events and Strong Bonds family retreats across military installations nationwide ($2,000–$21,000 value range, typically completed within 30 days of award).

The vendor holds four named parent vehicles with ongoing task-order activity. A Blanket Purchase Agreement (W911YP11A0001) with 35 task orders carries $99 thousand combined potential value; a BPA (W912LA13A0002) with 33 task orders carries $48 thousand; an Indefinite Delivery Contract (W912L623A0004) with 8 task orders carries $16 thousand; and a VA indefinite delivery contract (VA26015D0022) with 7 task orders carries $1 million. Additionally, Skies The Limit Academy holds a $1.34 million single-award IDC from VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 for VA Kids Care at Overton Brooks VAMC (awarded September 2025, through September 2030); a $500 thousand BPA from Guam Army National Guard for Yellow Ribbon childcare (awarded May 2025, through May 2030); a $950 thousand 8(a) sole-source IDC from Idaho Army National Guard for childcare services (originally awarded September 2023, through September 2025, though recent definitive contracts extend this relationship); and a $50 thousand Army BPA for childcare services (awarded February 2023, through January 2028).

Activity has remained steady at 12 to 14 awards per year from 2022 through 2025, with only 5 awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date (January–March). A single award worth $469 thousand faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, reducing near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's 302 awards span 231 classified under NAICS 624410 (Child Care Services), 28 under child and youth services, and 24 under educational support — childcare and education represent 85% of the award count. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts capturing service work above the $150,000 threshold (FY2022–FY2024), Skies The Limit Academy reported $212 thousand in invoiced revenue in both FY2023 and FY2024, reflecting contract-level workforce scales of 3.8 and 3.5 FTEs respectively. On federal SCI contracts, the vendor delivered labor at a median rate of $27.88 per hour, with rates clustered between $26.94 and $28.81 per hour — consistent with childcare and family-support services labor cost. The vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor, with no sub-award activity tracked in the source data and zero sub-engagement across SCI-reportable prime contracts. Skies The Limit Academy brings its own childcare delivery teams to all federal work, with no subcontracting pipeline visible in the historical award record.
