Sunrise Network Solutions Inc.

Sunrise Network Solutions Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, delivers fiber optic cable installation, premise wiring, and IT infrastructure services to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (80% of recent awards) under Total Small Business set-asides. The vendor operates almost exclusively under small-business competition, with the entire prime footprint designated as Total Small Business set-asides across all delivery mechanisms.

Sunrise's customer concentration is extreme and Defense-focused. The top five funding agencies represent 82% of awards, dominated by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command (35 awards, $7.9 million combined potential value, 93% of total dollars), followed by the Air Force Air Education and Training Command (3 awards, $263 thousand), the DOD Missile Defense Agency (4 awards), the Air Force Reserve Command (2 awards, $139 thousand), and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (2 awards, $80 thousand). The Air Force Materiel Command's position is so concentrated that the next-largest customer by dollar value (Air Education and Training Command) carries less than 4% of Sunrise's total potential value. Within the Air Force customer set, task orders predominantly fund fiber optic cable installation and local area network infrastructure at Keesler Air Force Base and Columbus Air Force Base in Mississippi, with secondary work at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida and NAS Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base in Texas.

Sunrise holds a $5 million multiple-award indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract with the Air Force Materiel Command (awarded August 2022, running through August 2027) for fiber optic cable installation and IT infrastructure support services across Air Force installations. Under this IDIQ, the vendor has issued 12 task orders carrying $1.3 million in combined potential value. The vendor also places work under Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085622D0001 (4 task orders) and the Tyndall Air Force Base Reconstruction MATOC (2 task orders). Representative prime work includes a $230,625 Field Operations Center installation delivery order at Keesler AFB (September 2022), a $205,855 fiber optic cable installation contract at Keesler AFB (April 2022), a $131,797 fiber optic cable installation order at Columbus AFB (August 2022), and multiple smaller purchase orders ranging from $3,397 to $140,650 for premise wiring, local area network drops, and cable installation.

Activity volume has held flat to declining over the past five years — 15 awards in 2022, 14 in 2023, 15 in 2024, dropping to 6 in 2025 and 1 in 2026 (as of the February 2026 data cutoff). However, the source does not provide an explicit recompete window or dates for major contract expiration, so the trajectory cannot be evaluated against upcoming recompete exposure with precision. The vendor's combined potential value across all 56 awards (prime and sub) stands at $8.5 million, with $6.8 million obligated (80% realization rate).

In its subcontractor role, Sunrise delivers fiber optic cable installation and electrical wiring services to larger defense primes including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (ground-based midcourse defense system engineering, electrical cable assembly, and software development work), BL Harbert International LLC (facility design-build and construction telecom work at Tyndall AFB and community commons projects), and Intranet Communications Group Inc. (fiber optic cable installation at Arnold Air Force Base). Across SCI-reportable service contracts, the vendor recorded only 0.5 FTEs in FY2024 on a single subcontractor record, indicating minimal service-contract staffing captured above the $150,000 reporting threshold and substantial work flowing through purchase-order and delivery-order mechanics below that threshold.

Sunrise's capability portfolio is narrow and operationally specialized: single-mode and multi-strand fiber optic cable engineering, furnishing, installation, and testing; local area network drops and premise wiring; communications cabinet installation; and IT infrastructure build support. The vendor's category concentration reflects this focus — 42 of 56 awards (75%) fall under NAICS 238210 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors), with secondary work in commercial building construction and R&D support. Competitively, Sunrise operates as a feeder for large defense systems integrators rather than as a prime-focused growth vendor, with 20% of recent awards routed through Northrop Grumman, BL Harbert, and other major primes.
