Spalding Consulting, Inc.

Spalding Consulting, Inc. (doing business as Spalding Consulting Inc.), a small business subsidiary of Saalex Corp (a minority-owned, veteran-owned, Black American-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned enterprise), delivers IT operations and maintenance, program management, systems engineering, and SAP integration services to the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor on Navy-managed multiple-award IDIQs and single-award vehicles. Spalding Consulting competes predominantly full-and-open with no set-aside designations on most prime awards, though two Total Small Business set-aside delivery orders sit in the portfolio. The company is based in Lexington Park, Maryland, proximate to its primary customer concentration at Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) and Naval Air Warfare Center in Patuxent River and St. Inigoes.

Spalding Consulting's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in Navy IT and logistics modernization. The top five funding agencies account for 98% of recent awards, led by Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (56 awards, $1.06 billion combined potential value) and Naval Air Systems Command proper (19 awards, $1.25 billion), with Naval Sea Systems Command (6 awards, $10 billion), GSA Federal Acquisition Service (3 awards, $32 million), and the Department of the Navy broadly (3 awards) rounding out the set. The dollar concentration diverges sharply from the award count: Naval Sea Systems Command anchors 81% of combined potential value ($10 billion across six awards) despite representing only 6.7% of award volume, a signal of large-dollar single or few-award vehicles; in contrast, NAVAIR and Naval Air Warfare Center drive volume (75 awards combined) but account for 18% of potential value, reflecting smaller per-order ceilings.

Spalding Consulting holds seats on five major Navy parent vehicles. Seaport Next Generation (Seaport-NXG), a Navy-managed multiple-award IDIQ supporting Naval Warfare Systems Command and subordinate commands through January 1, 2029, is the largest in transaction count and value, with 6 task orders carrying $417 million combined potential value. The vendor also places work under Navy Indefinite Delivery Contracts N0042117D0035 (9 task orders, $59.7 million), N0042108D0004 (8 task orders, $21.6 million), and N0042108D0007 (21 task orders, $8.2 million). A newly awarded LIIS CMDS MAC indefinite delivery contract with Naval Air Systems Command (ceiling $249.9 million through June 2031) was issued June 11, 2026. The vendor also holds a seat on GSA's OASIS+ Unrestricted multiple-award IDIQ (awarded December 17, 2024, through December 16, 2029), though this vehicle carries a $0 ceiling notation and no task orders are currently visible in the source. Representative Navy delivery orders include a $98.7 million order (September 1, 2023) for IT logistics systems life cycle support running through August 31, 2028; a $54.3 million order (April 17, 2023) for aviation product lifecycle management (AVPLM) IT support to Fleet Readiness Centers through October 16, 2028; a $71.1 million order (September 21, 2022) for project management and systems engineering support to Naval Air Warfare Center through September 20, 2027; and a $35.7 million order (June 14, 2022) for IT labor support operations and maintenance through June 14, 2027.

Activity has been episodic across the five-year look-back: three awards in 2020, nine in 2022, four in 2023, four in 2024, and two in 2026. Four awards (combined potential value $238.3 million) face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete exposure. Service Contract Inventory data show SCI-reportable invoiced revenue of $234.4 million across FY2022–FY2025 (FY2022: $43.3 million; FY2023: $47.9 million; FY2024: $67.7 million; FY2025: $75.6 million), with the SCI dataset tracking roughly 177–267 FTEs delivered across those fiscal years. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ran a median of $93.32 per hour, with a 10th percentile of $76.29 and a 90th percentile of $107.93 per hour. On individual major contracts named in the source, derived blended rates ranged from $78.97 to $130.38 per hour depending on contract mix and fiscal year.

Spalding Consulting operates as a prime on 82 of 89 total awards (92%) and as a subcontractor on 7 (8%). Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed 26% of total contractor hours on average, with 92 named subcontractors reported across the prime footprint. Named subs include SAIC (research, development, test, evaluation, and professional services project management), Trustedqa, Inc. (software development and QA testing), Jemmco Consulting (professional services project management and computer-user support), Siemens Government Technologies Inc. (product lifecycle management systems analysis), Pathfinder IT Solutions, Inc. (SDVOSB, technical project analysis), Lean Goat LLC (minority-owned small business, software engineering), Stracon Services Group LLC (WOSB, program analysis), Razorleaf Government Solutions LLC (computer systems professional services), TECH Wizards, Inc., Carahsoft Technology Corp, Cyberspec, LLC, and four-star Technologies (software licenses). In its subcontractor role, Spalding Consulting subs to KBR Wyle Services, LLC (three awards, 2023–2024, Navy cyber security enterprise services), Stracon Services Group, LLC (1 award, 2023, NAVAIR PMA268 Stingray PLM system support), Sabre Systems, LLC (1 award, 2022, Navy digital transformation and IT operations labor), and Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (1 award, 2022, technical and managerial support). The parent Saalex Corp structure carries minority-owned, veteran-owned, and SDVOSB designations; Spalding Consulting's prime awards do not carry set-aside framing, suggesting the parent's designations are not driving procurement strategy at the subsidiary level.

Top NAICS categories span Engineering Services (42 awards), Other Accounting Services (22 awards), and Computer Systems Design Services (17 awards), reflecting the mix of program management, financial systems (SAP), and IT services work. Top PSC categories include Support–Management: Financial (25 awards), Support–Professional: Engineering/Technical (12 awards), and IT and Telecom–Systems Development (10 awards). GSA Schedule rates span $28.62 to $175.33 per hour across 58 active labor categories, ranging from entry-level help desk roles (AA, 1 year, security clearance required) through senior project manager and systems specialist roles (BA, 10 years, security clearance).
