Synchron, LLC

Synchron, LLC, headquartered in Washington, DC, delivers program management, strategic analytics, operational planning, and technical support services to the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor (79% of recent awards) under full-and-open competitive vehicles, with a secondary footprint as a subcontractor on defense programs. Synchron is a for-profit limited liability company with no SBA set-aside designation; it competes on capability and experience rather than small-business preferences.

Synchron's customer concentration is extreme and singular. The Department of the Navy accounts for 93% of awards across three subordinate components: the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (26 awards, $71.8 million combined potential value), Naval Sea Systems Command (8 awards, $10.12 billion combined potential value), and Naval Supply Systems Command (3 awards, $35.3 million combined potential value). The potential-value ranking diverges sharply from award count because Naval Sea Systems Command anchors $10.12 billion across just eight delivery orders—a massive concentration play. The source shows combined potential value of $10.25 billion across 42 total awards, but obligated dollars total only $183.3 million (2% of potential), indicating these are long-duration IDIQs and delivery orders with front-loaded ceilings and phased execution.

Seaport Next Generation (Seaport-NXG), the Navy's primary competitive IDIQ for professional, technical, and engineering services, is Synchron's anchor vehicle. Synchron holds 18 task orders valued at $56.8 million under Seaport-NXG, primarily supporting OPNAV divisions including N2N6 (Information Warfare), N7 (Warfighting Development), N8 (Integration of Capabilities and Resources), N9 (Integrated Warfare), and N98 (Strategic Warfare). Representative work includes a $6.72 million delivery order (awarded March 2025) for strategic warfare and business operations support to N98 and N98B extending through October 2030; a $16.28 million delivery order (November 2023) for warfighting development analytics and strategy services to N7 running through November 2028; and a $16.23 million delivery order (July 2022) for Navy integration of capabilities and resources supporting N8 through January 2028. Synchron also operates under OPNAV N9 Professional Technical and Administrative Services (11 task orders, $13.7 million) and SeaPort-e (6 task orders, $136 million). Most orders are cost-plus-fixed-fee structures with five-to-six-year periods of performance—typical Navy practice on strategic support work.

Activity shows volatile year-to-year growth: one award in 2021, eight in 2022, two in 2023, five in 2024, and six in 2025 through mid-December. Seven awards carrying combined potential value of $152.1 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure across multiple OPNAV divisions. Synchron's subcontractor footprint names Systems Planning and Analysis Inc., Serco Inc., Cydecor Inc., Delta Resources Inc., Grey Hawk Strategic LLC, and Strategic Insight LTD. as recurring subs on prime awards. In its own sub role, Synchron performs under Serco Inc. (multiple tasks in 2024–2025 supporting OPNAV N2N6, N98, and PMS 515), Systems Planning and Analysis Inc. (business management and organizational analysis for N13M), Caci Inc. (professional support for PEO USC unmanned and small combatants), and Booz Allen Hamilton (PEO USC technical support). Synchron also appears as a sub-recipient on a Carnegie Mellon University federal grant for early feasibility study of a stentrode brain-computer interface for augmentative communication (awarded January 2024), marking minimal non-defense engagement.

SCI-reported invoicing for prime contracts shows $54 million across FY2022–FY2024 ($15.1 million in FY2022, $19.9 million in FY2023, $19 million in FY2024), with government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts ranging from $79.45/hr (10th percentile) to $91.67/hr (median) to $91.81/hr (90th percentile)—mid-tier professional services pricing. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed an average of 35% of contractor hours, with 29 named subs reported across the contract portfolio. FTE workforce delivered on federal services contracts captured in SCI numbered 82.4 FTEs in FY2022, 67.4 FTEs in FY2023, and 126 FTEs in FY2024, showing a scaling pattern aligned with task-order expansion. These SCI figures represent only service contracts above the $150,000 threshold and exclude goods, products, and classified work—they substantially understate Synchron's total federal revenue footprint, particularly the $10.12 billion Naval Sea Systems Command potential value which likely includes development, engineering, and supply-chain work outside SCI scope.
