SNA International LLC

SNA International LLC, a woman-owned small business certified under the SBA 8(a) Program, operates as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards) delivering forensic science, DNA operations, and scientific and technical administrative support services to defense and civilian federal agencies. The company is headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, as a child of Chart National, L.P., and competes across a mix of full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside vehicles.

SNA International's customer concentration is acute and defense-weighted. The Defense Health Agency dominates by both award count and potential value, representing 53 awards carrying $520.2 million in combined ceiling — nearly a third of the vendor's $3.17 billion total portfolio. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service, the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command, and the Department of Energy Chief Information Officer rank second through fourth by potential dollars, collectively accounting for $1.27 billion. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate round out the top five customer set. The rankings signal a portfolio anchored on a small number of very large indefinite vehicles: the Missile Defense Agency's SHIELD IDIQ entered at $151 billion ceiling on December 29, 2025; the OASIS+ Total Small Business IDIQ sits at a placeholder ceiling; the Department of the Army's STEPSS vehicle carries $869.1 million; and the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration Technical, Engineering, and Programmatic Services BPA is valued at $400 million.

SNA International's primary capability portfolio centers on forensic science, DNA operations, toxicology, and postmortem laboratory support for the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System under the Defense Health Agency. Representative work includes a $135.6 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract for Scientific, Technical, Administrative, and Logistical Support Services (STALSS) awarded May 1, 2026, with a ceiling extending through April 30, 2031; an $86.5 million labor-hours definitive contract with the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency for laboratory support services and forensic testing through May 20, 2027; and a $6.2 million delivery order from Immigration and Customs Enforcement for rapid DNA tests and equipment to support Enforcement and Removal Operations field offices through November 6, 2026 (originally placed on stop work, subsequently lifted). The vendor also holds positions on the OASIS+ Total Small Business Multiple Award Contract (awarded December 19, 2024, with a placeholder ceiling through December 18, 2029) and on the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate's OASIS Pool 4 Small Business vehicle. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule provides the contracting vehicle for the $400 million Department of Energy NNSA TEPS III Blanket Purchase Agreement covering technical, engineering, and programmatic support services.

Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold, SNA International invoiced $1.6 million in aggregate from FY2022 through FY2024 (FY2022: $334 thousand across 0.8 FTEs; FY2023: $485 thousand across 1.3 FTEs; FY2024: $815 thousand across 1.7 FTEs). The SCI dataset represents a partial view of federal services delivery and does not include classified work, non-reportable micro-purchases, or goods; the larger portfolio's $3.17 billion ceiling vastly exceeds this slice. On its SCI prime contracts, the vendor's median government-paid rate ran around $197 per hour, with rates spanning from roughly $178 per hour at the tenth percentile to $220 per hour at the 90th percentile. GSA Schedule labor categories range from Scientific Researcher 1 at $26.33 per hour (bachelor's, two years' experience, no clearance) through Enterprise Architect 3 at $252.27 per hour (bachelor's, twelve years' experience). All 36 active categories require bachelor's education or higher, and none mandate security clearance.

Activity has remained relatively flat across the past five years — twelve awards in 2021, twelve in 2022, ten in 2024, and six in 2025 — with three awards (combined potential value $96.5 million) maturing within the next twenty-four months and facing recompete exposure. The vendor's largest parent vehicle by task-order count is the Indefinite Delivery Contract W81XWH17D0034 under the Defense Health Agency, which has generated 42 task orders carrying $109.6 million in combined potential value; the Multiple Award Schedule has produced four task orders valued at $401.8 million. SNA International subcontracts minimally to other primes — four sub awards total across the dataset, with named primes including General Dynamics Information Technology (operating and maintaining DHS Data Center infrastructure and mission systems lifecycle support) and Intelliware Systems Inc. (TSC intelligence analysis services). Across SCI prime contracts, the vendor does not employ subcontractors — the average sub-hours share is zero percent, indicating SNA International builds and staffs its own delivery teams on these reportable services contracts. The vendor's category concentration lies predominantly in research and development work across the physical, engineering, and life sciences (46 awards) and biotechnology (10 awards), with health R&D services and R&D medical-biomedical support dominating the PSC codes across the forensic and pathology mission set.
