SRC Inc.

SRC Inc., a Syracuse, New York-based non-profit research and development organization, competes as a prime contractor on over 1,800 federal awards spanning defense, environmental, and civilian science domains, delivering advanced sensor systems, radar technologies, electronic warfare capabilities, and technical services without small business set-asides or SBA certifications. The organization operates in full and open competition across a portfolio dominated by air force and army work, with eight named subsidiaries including the for-profit Srctec LLC (a manufacturer of goods) and Saze Technologies LLC.

SRC Inc.'s capability portfolio centers on four concrete domains. In counter-unmanned aerial systems, SRC serves as prime systems integrator and hardware supplier on the Army's Fixed Site Low, Slow, Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Integrated Defeat System (FS-LIDS) and Mobile (M-LIDS) platforms, with multiple delivery orders reaching $67 million and higher; recent FS-LIDS task orders include $46.36 million for field support services (April 2025), $37.95 million for hardware systems (December 2022), and $23.58 million for six FS-LIDS and ten M-LIDS systems (September 2024). In radar and sensor development, SRC executes R&D contracts on next-generation FIRES radar technology ($1.9 million, August 2025), radio frequency integrated circuit research ($7.93 million, September 2024), and extreme computing for heterogeneous, scalable low-size-weight-power architectures ($24.28 million, September 2025). In air force sensor systems, SRC holds a $400 million single-award IDIQ with Air Combat Command for Sensor Beam 2024 support and has issued 16 delivery orders totaling approximately $45.8 million since January 2024 for personnel and material supporting sensor beam engineering. In environmental and chemical assessment, SRC operates under a $90 million EPA single-award IDIQ (awarded October 2024) for chemical screening, review, and evaluation of new, existing, and safer choice substances, with recent task orders including environmental response team risk technical assistance ($13.5 million, December 2024), human health hazard support ($7.2 million, November 2024), and new chemicals fate and exposure assessment support ($1.9 million, November 2024).

Customer concentration tilts heavily toward the Department of the Air Force (363 awards, $46.96 billion combined potential value across the portfolio) and the Department of the Army, which accounts for $8.28 billion of the combined value through 92 awards, though the Army Materiel Command's Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground dominates dollar share at $37.5 billion across 27 awards—signaling that FS-LIDS and related counter-UAS platforms anchor the largest single value concentration. Environmental Protection Agency work (73 awards, $33.3 million combined potential value) represents a smaller but steady revenue stream in the civilian agency space. The top five customer agencies by potential value cover 91 percent of SRC Inc.'s combined potential value.

SRC Inc. holds multiple indefinite delivery vehicles across defense and civilian agencies. The $400 million Air Combat Command Sensor Beam 2024 single-award IDIQ runs through January 2034 and has issued 16 delivery orders. The $90 million EPA chemical screening IDIQ runs through October 2029 and has issued over 20 delivery orders across new chemicals, existing chemicals, superfund remediation, and safer choice initiatives. The $4 billion Defense Threat Reduction Agency Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction IDIQ (awarded May 2024, expires May 2029) covers research, development, test and evaluation, procurement, and systems engineering. The $99.9 million Aeronautical Systems Center multiple-award IDIQ for advanced sensor technologies runs through September 2027. The $60 million Air Force Research Laboratory TEMPEST/REFLECT single-award IDIQ runs through April 2029. The $900 million Air Force Life Cycle Management Center multi-domain systems capabilities IDIQ runs through November 2027. A $15 million CDC Blanket Purchase Agreement through GSA's Professional Services Schedule covers toxicological profile development (expires September 2028). The $151 billion Missile Defense Agency Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ was awarded December 2025 and runs through December 2035. The Professional Services Schedule carries 322 task orders valued at $493.9 million.

On the subcontractor side, SRC Inc. works under major primes including Northrop Grumman (Intelligence Systems Infrastructure, Tools, and Enhancements work), Lockheed Martin (Advanced Radar Threat System Variant 3 development), Leidos (software sustainment and lifecycle management), Booz Allen Hamilton (C-UAS command and control systems), and Science Applications International Corporation (tactical exploitation of national capabilities). These relationships span electronic warfare, radar development, software sustainment, and C4ISR systems integration. Recent activity shows SRC Inc. engaged as sub on Northrop Grumman's INSITE program (multiple awards through 2025), Lockheed Martin's ARTSV3 X-band and C-band radar threat systems, and SAIC's TENCAP HOPE 20 SDR integration effort.

SRC Inc. self-performs the majority of its delivery work. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractor hours average 4 percent of total contractor hours, with 30 named subcontractors over the reporting period—a posture of internal capability delivery rather than extensive subcontracting networks. SCI invoicing totaled $276.1 million across FY2022–FY2025 (FY2022: $16.6 million, 69.7 FTEs; FY2023: $82 million, 146 FTEs; FY2024: $107.9 million, 278 FTEs; FY2025: $69.5 million, 158 FTEs). Government-paid hourly rates on federal services contracts span a median of $129.37/hr, with the 10th percentile at $81.94/hr and 90th percentile at $198.45/hr, reflecting a mix of technician and senior engineering labor. GSA labor categories range from $52.02/hr (Specialist 3) through $308.45/hr (Principal Subject Matter Expert), with bachelor's degree as the typical minimum education requirement and no security-cleared offerings.

Activity has accelerated from 45 awards in 2022 to a peak of 78 in 2024, declining to 56 in 2025 and 21 in 2026 year-to-date. Within the next twenty-four months, 47 awards totaling $209.8 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion, marking a significant recompete cliff, particularly on FS-LIDS variants, EPA chemical assessment task orders, and Air Force sensor beam delivery orders. The vendor's 95 percent prime-contract posture and deep integration on Army counter-UAS platforms and Air Force advanced radar programs position it as a core provider rather than a feeder to larger primes, though recent sub activity on major defense contractors signals growing teaming depth on complex, classified programs.
