Symposit LLC

Symposit LLC, an SBA 8(a) certified minority-owned and Hispanic American-owned small business based in Fairfax, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor across defense components procurement and federal IT services, with a dramatic recent shift in its customer portfolio and award footprint. The company holds no subcontractor relationships in the source data and competes across both full-and-open and 8(a)-specific vehicles, with most recent activity concentrated in small-dollar transactional purchase orders from the Defense Logistics Agency and two exceptionally large indefinite delivery vehicles placed in late 2025.

Symposit's award portfolio has undergone a sharp reorientation in the past eighteen months. Through 2024, the company held a modest presence: a $1 billion Federal Aviation Administration Blanket Purchase Agreement (eFAST) for financial management system development and hosting awarded in 2022, a $6.1 million 8(a) sole-source delivery order from the State Department's Bureau of Information Resource Management for consular appointment scheduling tool development (awarded September 2024, extending through March 2026), a $16.7 thousand 8(a) STARS III delivery order for wireless Wi-Fi installation at Customs and Border Protection (July 2024), and sporadic component purchases from DLA's Land and Maritime and Aviation divisions running $3,600–$40,000 per order. Beginning in late 2025, two awards dramatically reshaped the standing: on December 29, 2025, the Missile Defense Agency awarded Symposit a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract titled Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) with a $151 billion ceiling and performance through December 2035, and the company now holds a $1 billion eFAST BPA with FAA running through September 2029. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service, through the 8(a) STARS III GWAC, carried a $50 billion vehicle in prior source characterizations; the current source does not isolate that holding separately but places the company on substantial government-wide and agency-specific IDVs.

Customer concentration reflects the weight of large vehicles masking broader transactional exposure. By award count, the Defense Logistics Agency dominates: 35 awards from Land and Maritime (combined potential value $769 thousand), 14 from Aviation ($277 thousand), and 6 from Troop Support Construction and Equipment ($51 thousand) — accounting for 89% of awards but only 1.6% of combined potential value. By dollar magnitude, GSA Federal Acquisition Service commands the portfolio (2 awards, $50 billion combined potential value), followed by the FAA Headquarters (1 award, $1 billion), the State Department's Bureau of Information Resource Management (1 award, $6.1 million), and DLA Land and Maritime (35 awards, $769 thousand). The Missile Defense Agency placed 2 awards carrying nominal value ($500 total) but anchored in the massive SHIELD IDIQ ceiling.

Activity velocity has accelerated sharply. From 2017 through 2024, the company averaged fewer than one award per year. In 2025, award count jumped to 44 (the vast majority small-dollar component purchases from DLA), and 13 awards are in the first quarter of 2026. This acceleration is driven almost entirely by high-frequency, low-value DLA purchase orders — toggle switches ($66 thousand), solenoid valves ($159 thousand), latch assemblies ($28 thousand), shackles, couplings, valves, springs, hinges, and adapters clustering in the $8,000–$40,000 range. Combined dollars obligated across all awards stands at $6.3 million against $51 billion combined potential value — a signal that the enormous SHIELD and eFAST BPA ceilings carry minimal signed commitments to date, while the DLA purchase orders represent executed spend.

Capability framing from the awards splits cleanly into two distinct operational postures. The transactional DLA stream reflects procurement and sourcing of standard military hardware components — mechanical fasteners, electrical switches, valves, couplings, rope, gaskets, and aircraft structural parts — classified across NAICS categories including Other Electronic Component Manufacturing, Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing, Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, and Bolt/Nut/Screw Manufacturing. The narrative summaries embedded in several DLA awards describe Symposit's core function in this channel as "equipment and technical component procurement" for federal agencies. The higher-value IT services stream — anchored in the FAA eFAST BPA (development and hosting for financial management systems), the State Department consular scheduling tool ($6.1 million, 8(a) sole source), and wireless infrastructure at CBP — positions the company as an IT services and consulting provider to civilian agencies. GSA Multiple Award Schedule labor categories confirm this split: active rates span $78.49–$254.10 per hour across thirteen categories, covering Web Designer, Health IT Consultant, IT Consultant, Senior IT Consultant, Subject Matter Expert, and Project Manager roles, all unclassified (no security clearances offered). This labor portfolio supports software development, IT modernization, and technical consulting work typical of the State Department and FAA engagements.

Symposit holds three formally structured indefinite delivery vehicles as prime: the $1 billion FAA eFAST BPA (single-award, performance through September 2029), a $250 thousand single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Land and Maritime for push switches (awarded October 14, 2025, performance through October 2026), and a second $250 thousand single-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for shackles (awarded October 3, 2025, performance through October 2026). The SHIELD IDIQ carries a $151 billion ceiling, multiple-award structure, and December 2035 completion, with an initial $500 delivery order placed December 29, 2025 on firm fixed-price terms for performance in Huntsville, Alabama. Under GSA's 8(a) STARS III GWAC, Symposit has issued one task order worth $17 thousand for wireless Wi-Fi installation. The company's 8(a) certification is valid through October 25, 2026.

Service Contract Inventory data shows minimal SCI-reportable activity: four records total across fiscal years 2022–2024, with one prime record and three named-subcontractor records. No SCI-reportable invoiced revenue is recorded as prime. FTE trajectory shows 6.2 FTEs in FY2022 (split across two sub records) and 8.9 FTEs in FY2024 (one prime, one sub record). This sparse SCI footprint reflects the company's positioning in goods procurement and small transactional service contracts, which fall below or outside the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold, as well as potential work on classified programs not captured in the public dataset.

Symposit LLC operates through one named subsidiary, Symposit-Humantouch JV 1, LLC, a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business and Hispanic American-owned joint venture structured as a limited liability company. The source does not elaborate on the subsidiary's operational scope or customer relationships; it appears to be a teaming arrangement rather than a distinct operating entity.

The company's set-aside posture is almost entirely 8(a)-anchored. Of the 66 prime awards in the portfolio, most carry either no explicit set-aside designation (awarded to an 8(a) firm in full-and-open competition, as is common for DLA purchase orders) or explicit 8(a) sole-source language (State Department consular tool, CBP wireless installation). One award carries a Total Small Business set-aside designation (Smithsonian IT audit, $56 thousand). The SHIELD IDIQ and eFAST BPA were awarded under full-and-open and no-set-aside language respectively, reflecting Symposit's eligibility to compete in unrestricted pools as an 8(a) firm. Across the award portfolio, 8(a) certification is the defining competitive advantage; the company does not surface in secondary set-aside categories (HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or others).

Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is modest in dollar terms but operationally meaningful. Multiple DLA component purchase orders carry ultimate completion dates between now and mid-2026; the FAA eFAST BPA renews through September 2029 and should not face recompete risk in the window. The State Department consular tool delivery order completes March 26, 2026, and represents a potential renewal opportunity. The two single-award DLA Indefinite Delivery Contracts expire October 2026 and are eligible for recompete or cancellation. The SHIELD IDIQ, awarded December 2025 with performance through 2035, is structured as multiple-award, meaning the company will compete alongside other IDIQ holders for individual task orders rather than defend the prime vehicle itself.
