Synergy Group JV, LLC

Synergy Group JV, LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) based in Annapolis, Maryland, operates as a prime contractor delivering IT infrastructure, networking, security systems, and cybersecurity solutions to the federal government, predominantly to civilian health agencies under the Chief Information Officer Commodities and Solutions (CIO-CS) government-wide acquisition contract. The company competes in a mix of set-aside categories—SDVOSB sole source, SDVOSB competitive, total small business, and full-and-open—with the largest concentration of awards under SDVOSB and small business designations across its prime footprint.

Synergy Group JV's federal portfolio spans 468 prime awards (100% of the tracked award count) with combined potential value of $20.11 billion and roughly $85.5 million in obligated dollars, delivered to 35 customer agencies over the past five years. The company's customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service dominates with 319 awards (84% of the total award count) worth $67.8 million in combined potential value, followed at a substantial distance by HHS Health Resources and Services Administration Headquarters with 33 awards valued at $9.5 million. The next three customers—National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Cancer Institute, and National Library of Medicine—together account for roughly 6% of remaining awards. This concentration reflects Synergy Group JV's specialization in Indian Health Service modernization and federal civilian healthcare IT infrastructure.

The company's capability portfolio centers on Cisco networking equipment maintenance and renewal (SMARTNET, consolidated maintenance, ISE licensing), Palo Alto firewall support and licensing renewals, Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure provisioning and support, Aruba wireless network switching and installation, and physical access control and security camera system deployment across IHS healthcare facilities serving Native American communities. Representative work includes a $6.52 million Palo Alto firewall maintenance delivery order with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases running through October 2026, a $1.99 billion Palo Alto refresh delivery order with HHS Headquarters (May 2023 award), a $12.76 million NIH Identity, Credential, and Access Management modernization delivery order (September 2025 through September 2028), and a $1.55 million IT equipment and services delivery order for Great Plains Area IHS data center and Youth Regional Treatment Center (December 2023 through December 2024). The company holds a single-award $6.778 million BPA with Indian Health Service through March 2027 for maintenance, repair, replacement, and expansion of security cameras and physical access control systems across IHS hospitals and clinics in the Great Plains region.

Synergy Group JV places substantially all work through the CIO-CS GWAC, which accounts for 302 task orders valued at $84 million combined potential value. The company also executes work against IHS blanket purchase agreements—HHSI241201700002B (100 task orders, $7.6 million), 75H70622A00005 (24 task orders, $4 million), and 75H70620A00007 (10 task orders, $2.2 million)—demonstrating consistent IHS teaming and legacy contracting relationships. The top NAICS categories in Synergy Group JV's award footprint are Other Computer Related Services (336 awards) and Computer Systems Design Services (113 awards), with PSC concentration in miscellaneous security detection systems (108 awards), IT components (55 awards), and IT business application software licensing (28 awards).

Activity declined from 35 awards in 2022 to 10 awards through mid-2026, signaling either portfolio consolidation or reduced task order velocity in recent fiscal years. Within the next twenty-four months, 24 awards with combined potential value of $11.7 million reach ultimate completion, presenting recompete exposure.

SCI-reportable invoiced revenue (service contracts above the $150,000 threshold) totaled $10.1 million across FY2022–FY2024, with FY2024 showing $5 million. The SCI dataset shows minimal FTE scaling (ranging from 0.1 to 0.2 FTEs contract-level), reflecting the company's reliance on fixed-price commercial item delivery orders rather than labor-hour or time-and-material contracting. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid rates run a broad spectrum—median around $9,266/hr, with the 90th percentile at $40,204/hr and the 10th percentile at $402.68/hr—indicating a mix of low-unit-cost equipment procurement and higher-rate professional services. Subcontractor hours averaged 11% of total contractor hours across prime contracts, with three named subcontractors reported, signaling that Synergy Group JV builds most of its delivery capability in-house rather than through systematic subcontracting.
