Spectra Logic Corporation

Spectra Logic Corporation, doing business as Spectra Logic Corp, is a Boulder, Colorado-based manufacturer and vendor of data storage hardware, software, and support services that operates as a prime contractor (98% of awards) across federal civilian and defense agencies on a full-and-open basis, with no SBA set-aside designations characterizing its prime footprint except for selective small-business set-asides on individual orders.

Spectra Logic's core capability is tape library hardware, LTO tape media, tape drives, and associated maintenance and support services — SpectraGuard data protection and storage management software, hardware maintenance contracts, and licensing renewals. The company anchors its business on commercial data storage products sold through federal procurement vehicles rather than custom development. Representative recent prime awards include a $345.8 thousand delivery order from the Smithsonian Institution Office of the Chief Information Officer for tape library delivery under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (June 2022), a $53.5 thousand purchase order from the Office of Naval Research for SpectraGuard support services (January 2024), a $26.7 thousand Air Education and Training Command purchase order for tape libraries hardware and software maintenance (May 2024), a $28.6 thousand National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration purchase order for tape hardware and support effective August 2026, and a $39.5 thousand Air Education and Training Command purchase order for licenses and software support (December 2022). The vast majority of orders are small-dollar purchase orders and delivery orders for consumables, hardware replacements, and annual maintenance renewals rather than large development or systems integration contracts.

Customer concentration is diffuse across 179 distinct federal agencies, with the top five accounting for only 16% of award count. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration leads by count with 50 awards worth $498 thousand combined potential value, followed by Naval Sea Systems Command with 39 awards worth $739 thousand, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Office of Acquisition Services with 30 awards worth $2.9 million, the Department of the Army with 26 awards worth $55 thousand, and GSA Office of the Chief Information Officer with 23 awards worth $804 thousand. When ranked by potential value, CDC leads at $2.9 million (30 awards), the Treasury Internal Revenue Service follows at $980 thousand (16 awards), and GSA Office of the CIO ranks third at $804 thousand. The divergence reflects Spectra Logic's customer base: NOAA and Naval Sea Systems Command place high-frequency, low-dollar routine replenishment orders, while CDC carries larger per-order values.

Spectra Logic's parent vehicle concentration centers on the GSA Information Technology Schedule 70 (IT Schedule 70), where 574 task orders carry $26.2 million in combined potential value — roughly 56% of the vendor's total reported federal potential value. The company also maintains positions on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and several indefinite delivery contracts (DOCST133018CQ0073 with 10 task orders, 80ARC018D0010 with 3 task orders, and Alliant II with 4 task orders). IT Schedule 70 is the dominant vehicle, enabling federal customers to procure Spectra Logic's commercial tape and storage products with streamlined ordering.

Award activity has been episodic over the past five years — seven awards in 2022, four in 2023, sixteen in 2024, twelve in 2025, and four through August 2026 — with only one award facing ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $29 thousand), indicating minimal recompete exposure. The top NAICS categories are Computer Storage Device Manufacturing (813 awards), Computer and Office Machine Repair and Maintenance (41 awards), and Computer and Computer Peripheral Equipment and Software Merchant Wholesalers (28 awards), with Computer Systems Design Services accounting for 24 awards. PSC distribution reflects the hardware and maintenance posture: Information Technology Input/Output and Storage Devices (225 awards), Information Technology Software (119 awards), and Information Technology Support Equipment (118 awards) dominate.

Spectra Logic operates on a limited subcontractor basis, with 24 sub-awards (2% of total awards) flowing through General Dynamics Information Technology, Triad National Security (Los Alamos National Laboratory management and operation), Inuteq (NASA Advanced Computing Services), J.F. Taylor, and Valkyrie Enterprises. The sub-awards span IT professional services, equipment components and supplies, and maintenance products for national laboratories and government computing centers. The subcontractor role is secondary to Spectra Logic's primary business as a direct federal vendor of commercial tape storage products and services.
