Stratcom Systems Inc.

Stratcom Systems Inc., doing business as Sims Software, manufactures and sells Security Information Management System (SIMS) software—a commercial-off-the-shelf security data centralization and compliance platform—to defense and federal agencies as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, competing full-and-open without set-aside designations. The company, a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Carlsbad, California, has held federal contracts continuously since at least 1997 and operates across primary NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers) and 453998 (Computer and Software Stores).

Stratcom's customer base concentrates within the Navy, driven by recurring maintenance renewals and license orders across operational commands. The Naval Air Warfare Center, Naval Sea Systems Command, and the Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research account for 38% of recent awards by count, though these represent small-dollar task orders ranging from $900 to $91,500. Naval Sea Systems Command leads by potential value ($479 thousand across 11 awards), followed by the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency ($290 thousand) and Naval Air Warfare Center ($289 thousand across 23 awards). Air Force Space Command, Air Combat Command, and the Electronic Systems Center constitute the second-tier Air Force footprint. All five top customers by award count are Navy commands; all top customers by potential value are Navy or defense-focused civilian agencies, indicating tight coupling to defense IT infrastructure rather than breadth across civilian agencies.

Stratcom's vehicle position sits entirely on GSA schedules: the Federal Supply Schedule (GS35F0039J) carries 88 task orders valued at $1 million combined, and the Multiple Award Schedule carries 56 task orders valued at $1.6 million combined. Recent representative prime work includes a $91.5 thousand delivery order from the Chief Security Officer for SIMS CLIENT V7 software, operations, and maintenance through September 2025; a $75.8 thousand five-year maintenance agreement from Air Education and Training Command at Luke Air Force Base starting October 2025; a $58.8 thousand FY25 Space Command/J6 security access control software award in March 2025; and routine annual renewal orders from Naval Air Warfare Center valued between $10 thousand and $14 thousand. All prime awards are firm fixed price, unsegregated, and performance-based at Carlsbad, California or customer locations (Luke AFB, Hanscom AFB, Fort Belvoir, El Segundo).

Activity has remained flat across the past five years—two awards in 2022, then seven per year in 2023–2025—with modest growth in total dollar value offset by the small transaction size characteristic of GSA schedule task orders. The combined potential value across all 175 awards is $26.4 million, with only 27% obligated ($7.2 million), indicating a significant tail of firm-fixed-price orders with future completion dates.

Stratcom subcontracts selectively to FFRDCs and defense primes. Recent sub work includes a June 2025 software subscription sub to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory FFRDC under an MIT prime; a November 2024 one-year software maintenance and training sub to Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute FFRDC; and two 2024–2025 subs to ManTech Advanced Systems International for Project Z computer systems design and programming services. The sub footprint is narrow—seven awards total—and routed through research centers and large primes rather than reflecting independent subcontract volume.
