Stratus, Inc.

Stratus, Inc., doing business as Stratus Inc., is a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Bethesda, Maryland, that supplies commercial off-the-shelf information technology hardware, peripherals, and office equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and under a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Naval Sea Systems Command.

Stratus is a Subcontinent Asian American–owned for-profit corporation competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside restrictions, though several recent awards carry total small business set-aside designations. The company is a subsidiary of Stratus International Inc., a Hispanic American–owned small disadvantaged business that serves as its parent entity. Across recent awards, Stratus sources and delivers standard IT consumables and equipment: keyboards with smart card readers, uninterruptible power supplies and replacement battery cartridges, toner and ink cartridges, monitor privacy screens, cable assemblies, headsets, smartphone protective cases, printers, document scanning and card production equipment, and office furniture. Representative work includes a $226.8 thousand purchase order from the Department of the Army in September 2022 for four VIASAT satellite terminals; a $164.1 thousand purchase order from Air Education and Training Command in June 2023 for SYMMETRA batteries; a $50.1 thousand delivery order from the Air Force in September 2022 for IPS safes and network IPS safes; and a $42.9 thousand delivery order from Air Education and Training Command in July 2024 for V1200-QPF Zero Client devices.

Customer concentration is split nearly evenly between two agencies: the Naval Sea Systems Command (34 awards, $1 million combined potential value) and the GSA Federal Acquisition Service (31 awards, $1 million combined potential value) account for 82 percent of recent awards by count and 91 percent by combined potential value. The Department of the Army, the Air Force, Air Education and Training Command, and the Missile Defense Agency represent smaller but recurring customers. Stratus holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Naval Sea Systems Command valued at $1 million running through August 2027, and seats on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule with a $1 million contract ceiling valid through January 2026; 78 task orders against the MAS represent the bulk of Stratus's delivery-order pipeline. Work is performed at Stratus facilities in Westlake and Fremont, California, and Bethesda, Maryland, as well as at customer sites worldwide including embassy locations in Islamabad and Bridgetown.

Recent activity has moderated significantly: 26 awards in 2022, 27 in 2023, and 22 in 2024, declining to 4 in 2025 and 2 in early 2026. Combined potential value across the entire award portfolio totals $2.9 million, with $913 thousand obligated to date (31 percent). The vendor classifies predominantly under NAICS 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) and procures across IT supply and office-equipment PSCs. Stratus operates as a 100-percent prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data and competes full-and-open without leveraging set-aside vehicles or strategic teaming arrangements.
