Skyward It Solutions, LLC

Skyward IT Solutions, LLC, an SBA 8(a)-certified minority-owned and small disadvantaged business headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, operates as a 100% prime contractor delivering enterprise IT services—cloud infrastructure, application development, enterprise architecture, data management, and customer experience engineering—to civilian federal agencies across multiple contract vehicles, including two recently awarded governmentwide IDIQs with multi-billion-dollar ceilings. The company is Asian-Pacific American owned and operates through a subsidiary, Skyward Dynamics Information Technology, LLC, which carries matching SBA designations.

Skyward's customer base reflects concentration in civilian agencies, though the vendor's footprint spans eleven distinct federal customers. The top five funding entities by combined potential value account for 100% of awards: the GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates by dollars ($50 billion in potential value across four awards, primarily OASIS+ vehicles), followed by NASA ($40 billion across two SEWP VI awards), the FAA ($1 billion on a single eFAST BPA), the Department of Education's Office of Federal Student Aid ($300 million on a single-award MAS BPA for digital services), and the Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ($65.9 million across six awards). By award count, CMS leads (six awards, $65.9 million), followed by the SBA's Office of Capital Access (five awards, $25.9 million) and GSA FAS (four awards). CMS work centers on a $48.6 million competitive 8(a) delivery order for enterprise architecture services (SEAS IT) under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, now invoiced at $12.1 million through FY2025 and running at a blended rate of $234.39/hr in FY2025 across 26.2 FTEs total and 19.6 FTEs in FY2025 alone, with approximately 21% of hours subcontracted. SBA Capital Access work includes a $13.3 million DevOps modernization delivery order (awarded September 2022, performed in Washington, DC) and a $3.4 million sole-source 8(a) operations and maintenance task on the Capital Access Financial System (CAFS), which self-performed without subs at 4.8 FTEs and invoiced $1.7 million in its first fiscal year.

Skyward holds positions on two recently awarded, multi-billion-ceiling governmentwide acquisition vehicles awarded in late 2024 and November 2026: the OASIS+ 8(a) Small Business IDIQ (awarded April 2025, competitive 8(a) set-aside, ceiling $999,999,999,999, performance through April 2030) and the OASIS+ Total Small Business set-aside IDIQ (awarded December 2024, ceiling $999,999,999,999, performance through December 2029). In November 2026, Skyward was awarded two separate SEWP VI GWAC positions—one under Total Small Business set-aside and one under Partial Small Business set-aside—each with a $20 billion ceiling through October 2036, covering communication and audio-visual IT solutions across all federal agencies. The vendor also operates under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, where eight delivery orders have generated $413.5 million in combined potential value, and under the 8(a) STARS III GWAC, where three task orders carry $22.3 million. A $1 billion FAA eFAST BPA (awarded April 2022, non-set-aside, single award, performance through September 2029) and a $300 million Department of Education single-award BPA under the MAS (awarded July 2026, Total Small Business set-aside, performance through July 2031) round out the major vehicles. Skyward also holds a $43 million SEC BPA under the MAS (competitive 8(a) set-aside, awarded September 2023, ultimate completion March 2027) for enterprise data management and object-oriented data services, expanded through Exercise Option Period 2 to include AI capabilities.

Recent activity shows Skyward awarded four new prime contracts or IDIQs in 2026, compared to two in 2024 and two in 2025, with total awards rising from two in 2022. Combined potential value across the portfolio stands at $91.46 billion, though only $90.9 million has been obligated—a reflection of the heavy weighting toward recently awarded, large-ceiling IDIQs and BPAs where task orders will drive actual spending. Three awards (combined potential value $16.5 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure. SCI-reported federal service-contract invoicing rose from $9.7 million in FY2022 to $16.7 million in FY2025, with federal FTE delivery increasing from 23.7 FTEs in FY2022 to 32.8 FTEs in FY2025. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, median government-paid blended rates run $158.71/hr, with the 10th percentile at $79.10/hr and the 90th percentile at $236.61/hr. On prime SCI contracts, an average of 10% of contractor hours are subcontracted, with eleven named subcontractors appearing across the portfolio; the vendor's FMCSA task (IT project manager support) runs at 50% sub-hours, while the CMS SEAS IT order carries approximately 21% subcontracted hours. GSA Schedule labor offerings span 93 categories, ranging from Technical Writer ($64.64/hr) to Data Scientist II ($299.62/hr), all requiring a bachelor's degree and carrying no security-clearance requirements. Skyward competes predominantly under 8(a) set-asides and Total Small Business set-asides on recent prime awards; DHS's Office of the Secretary statistics automation delivery order (awarded September 2026, $3 million, North Bethesda performance, completion September 2029) and a FEMA CX engineering task (awarded September 2023, $4.2 million, Rockville performance, completion July 2027) represent the two non-set-aside full-and-open awards on record.
