About the company
Sterling Computers Corporation, doing business as Sterling Computers Corp, a women-owned small business headquartered in North Sioux City, South Dakota, sells federal IT hardware procurement and infrastructure modernization services as a prime contractor (92% of recent awards) and subcontractor, competing predominantly on full-and-open and small-business set-aside vehicles through government-wide acquisition contracts and agency schedules.
Sterling operates as a rapid-turnaround supplier and channel aggregator for commercial IT commodities and infrastructure components—Dell servers, networking equipment (Cisco switches and routers), software licensing (Adobe, Veeam, SolarWinds, Splunk), laptops and desktop computers, storage systems, and related enterprise technology refresh—delivered through thousands of small delivery orders and BPA calls annually across federal civilian and defense agencies. The vendor's footprint centers on IT hardware procurement and component delivery rather than services; SCI-reportable invoiced revenue totaled $12.8 million across FY2022–FY2025 (FY2023: $8.4 million, FY2024: $394 thousand, FY2025: $3.4 million), with median government-paid rates around $277.64/hour and senior labor pricing through $428.38/hour on federal service contracts captured in SCI.
Sterling holds a seat on the $20 billion SEWP VI (Solutions for Enterprise Wide Procurement VI) GWAC, effective November 1, 2026, through October 31, 2036, as a partial small-business set-aside awardee. The vendor's primary vehicle footprint centers on SEWP V, the predecessor platform, where it holds 8,655 task orders ($1.54 billion combined potential value), and also executes work on the NASA Dell Brand Name Compute and Storage Systems BPA (established December 12, 2025, $235 million ceiling through July 1, 2030), Chief Information Officer Commodities and Solutions (CIO-CS) GWAC (2,048 task orders, $237.3 million potential value), GSA Multiple Award Schedule (1,930 task orders, $6.39 billion potential value), and Network-Centric Solutions II (3,737 task orders, $676.7 million potential value). The vendor also holds positions on the Army Desktop and Mobile Computing 3 (ADMC-3) contract and the GSA 2nd Generation Information Technology (2GIT) BPA.
Customer concentration across Sterling's portfolio is broad but weighted toward Department of the Navy and Department of the Air Force commands. The top five award-count customers—Navy NAVSEA Systems Command (1,268 awards, $90.5 million potential value), Navy Information Warfare Systems Command (872 awards, $937 million potential value), Air Force (766 awards, $1.02 billion potential value), Air Force Air Mobility Command (755 awards, $110.8 million potential value), and HHS Indian Health Service (754 awards, $24.4 million potential value)—account for 15% of recent awards. Potential-value concentration is driven by Air Force Air Education and Training Command ($7 billion across 702 awards), reflecting high-dollar infrastructure refresh and software licensing work for training infrastructure and mission systems.
Recent prime activity shows heavy reliance on SEWP V delivery orders: the Bureau of Engraving and Printing received $7.7 million for enterprise servers, hyperconverged infrastructure, network switches, and AI computing hardware (September 2026); the National Cancer Institute received $3.2 million for Extreme Networks maintenance and support (August 2026); Federal Emergency Management Agency placed multiple orders totaling over $1 million for Dell products and monitors (August 2026); NASA issued multiple BPA calls under the Dell Brand Name Compute and Storage Systems BPA for server refresh and storage expansion at Kennedy Space Center, Langley Research Center, and other centers, with individual call values ranging from $15 thousand to $972 thousand (August–September 2026). Activity trajectory shows decline from 2,128 awards in 2024 to 1,896 in 2025 and 730 in the partial-year 2026 dataset, suggesting a recompete or vehicle-transition dynamic. Within the next twenty-four months, 277 awards (combined potential value $257.7 million) reach ultimate completion and face recompete exposure.
Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Sterling subcontracts an average 4% of total contractor hours to two named subcontractors, indicating the vendor primarily builds its own delivery capability and retains most work in-house. Sub-award activity places Sterling under defense and civilian prime contractors—Leidos (NASA end-user services technologies and research/design/development for C5ISR systems), Booz Allen Hamilton (FAS cloud services support and Department of Labor core financial management system operations), Science Applications International Corporation (DCSA IT, NORAD/USNORTHCOM information technology enterprise services), CACI (elite software maintenance, CDM Defend bridge task orders), General Dynamics Information Technology (healthcare integrated general ledger accounting system, benefits coordination and recovery center), and others—typically as a hardware supplier or IT commodity provider to larger systems integrators and services primes.
The vendor's WOSB certification and full-and-open competition on government-wide vehicles position Sterling as a mid-market IT commodity distributor with deep federal vehicle position, particularly on SEWP (where the vendor executed thousands of small orders in FY2025–FY2026) and agency-specific schedules. The 28,590 total awards in the source data, spanning 30 years, reflect a high-volume, small-order business model: median individual award values are sub-$100 thousand across most vehicles, with growth driven by IT refresh cycles and federal infrastructure modernization cycles rather than strategic program growth.
