Strategic Data Systems, Inc.

Strategic Data Systems, Inc., doing business as SDS, is a Texas-based for-profit Subchapter S corporation that delivers IT operations, labor support, and professional services primarily to the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor on Total Small Business set-aside and full-and-open vehicles. SDS competes overwhelmingly as a prime (95% of awards), with headquarters in Keller, Texas, and federal contracting history dating to 2002. The vendor holds a $2.4 billion Defense Health Agency geographic IT services IDV and a $500,000 GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract, positioning it across Navy, defense health IT, and multi-agency ordering vehicles.

SDS's customer concentration is extraordinarily skewed toward Navy programs. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command alone accounts for 8 awards carrying $10.03 billion in combined potential value — nearly 77% of the vendor's entire identified federal pipeline. The next-largest customers are the Defense Health Agency ($2.4 billion, 2 awards) and Bureau of Naval Personnel ($248.7 million, 10 awards). The top five customers by potential value cover 100% of the vendor's identified federal dollars; Navy customers across all commands and subordinate agencies dominate both award count and value. Service Contract Inventory data shows more modest scale: SCI-reported invoicing of $61.4 million across three fiscal years (FY2022–FY2024), with roughly 151–221 FTEs deployed annually to federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold. This divergence reflects the $10.03 billion NAVSEA potential value being a long-duration, high-ceiling IDV rather than invoiced revenue.

SDS's primary vehicle position rests on Seaport-NXG (Seaport Next Generation), a Navy-administered multiple-award IDIQ from which SDS holds 12 task orders valued at $72.5 million. The vendor also places work under a Defense Health Agency Indefinite Delivery Contract (10 task orders, $121.8 million potential value) and the GSA Federal Supply Schedule (11 task orders, $1.2 million). Capability framing tracks principal work types: MyNavy Career Center labor support (career counseling, recruitment, and personnel management across Millington, Tennessee), Navy IT operations and professional services (Joint Staff J-8 IT services, Naval Information Warfare Systems support), and geographic IT management for the Defense Health Agency. Representative Navy prime awards include a $250.3 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order for MyNavy Career Center Tier 1 support services under Seaport-NXG (ultimate completion March 2031), a $28.4 million delivery order for MyNavy Career Center and Human Resources Service Center labor support (December 2025), and a $19.5 million modification to the Joint Staff J-8 Information Technology Next III Support Services contract under Seaport-NXG (September 2028 completion). NAICS concentration spans Engineering Services (26 awards), Other Computer Related Services (20 awards), and Telemarketing Bureaus and Other Contact Centers (12 awards), reflecting the labor-intensive contact-center and personnel-support profile.

Activity has been episodic rather than uniform: one award in 2022, five in 2023, three in 2024, and three in 2025. Award pace slowed materially in 2024–2025 compared to 2023, a shift meriting attention against the large recompete exposure. Notably, the $250.3 million Seaport-NXG delivery order for MyNavy Career Center Tier 1 support carries an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2031, making it a long-duration vehicle rather than an immediate recompete cliff; however, the $28.4 million Bureau of Naval Personnel delivery order completed December 2025, and a $26.0 million prior-year order completed December 2024, suggesting material contract renewals in the naval personnel space are recurring.

On its subcontractor footprint, SDS operates primarily as a prime and brings minimal sub relationships: three sub awards named in recent data (5% of portfolio) under Peraton Inc. on SAROPS maintenance support, Bowhead Program Management & Operations on NSWC Corona IT and cyber security services, and Booz Allen Hamilton on NETC N3 IT services. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, SDS subcontracts approximately 18% of total contractor hours to an average of eight named subcontractors per fiscal year, suggesting a mixed delivery model that combines in-house labor with selective sub engagement for specialized skills. SCI-derived government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts run median $78.82 per hour (10th percentile $39.25, 90th percentile $111.83), consistent with a labor-and-operations profile spanning associate-level IT specialists through senior systems administrators and program managers. GSA Schedule labor rates span $60.60 to $223.86 hourly, covering administrative specialists through IT program managers with up to fifteen years of experience and bachelor's-degree requirements; no cleared positions are offered on the GSA vehicle.
