System High Corporation

System High Corporation HQ Division, doing business as System High Corp, is a for-profit federal contractor headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia, that delivers specialized equipment destruction, classified hardware sanitization, and security support services to defense and intelligence agencies as a prime contractor (69% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to larger primes. The vendor competes exclusively in full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations across its entire prime footprint.

System High's customer concentration heavily skews toward the Missile Defense Agency and specialized defense programs. The MDA represents the single largest customer by potential value — 11 awards worth $422 million combined — anchored by a $152.2 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract for advisory and assistance services supporting security, emergency management, and program protection for the Integrated Layered Missile Defense System (awarded August 26, 2022, extending through February 25, 2028). The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency follows with 4 awards totaling $383.3 million, led by a $166.5 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract for program security services (awarded March 21, 2022, completion March 20, 2027). The Navy's Naval Air Systems Command ranks third with 8 awards worth $195.1 million, dominated by a $104.9 million single-award indefinite delivery contract for F-35 Joint Program Office security support services (awarded February 10, 2022, ultimate completion February 9, 2027). Together, these three customers account for approximately 97% of the vendor's combined potential value across all awards. The Air Force, while representing 40 awards across multiple commands and centers, carries only $6.4 million in combined potential value — reflecting System High's heavy reliance on a small number of large, long-duration advisory and assistance contracts with MDA and DARPA rather than a broad customer base. System High also holds a seat on GSA's $151 billion SHIELD Indefinite Delivery Contract (awarded December 29, 2025, through December 28, 2035) and the OASIS+ Unrestricted multiple-award contract (awarded December 17, 2024, through December 16, 2029), though task-order activity under these vehicles remains minimal in the source material.

System High's core capability portfolio spans three distinct service lines. First, IT and classified hardware destruction — the largest by award count — includes mobile destruction units deployed to Air Force bases (Eglin, Langley, Wright-Patterson, Beale, Edwards, Seymour Johnson), on-site shredding of Special Access Program equipment, and hardware sanitization services for the Missile Defense Agency, Naval Air Warfare Center, and Air Force Research Laboratory, with individual task orders ranging from $13,000 to $352,485. Second, security support services for major defense programs: the $104.9 million F-35 JPO security contract involves security operations and technical support performed in Arlington, Virginia, with international scope spanning Singapore and Switzerland, while the $166.5 million DARPA program security contract delivers counterintelligence support, insider threat analysis, and classified records management at DARPA's Arlington facility. Third, broader advisory and assistance services — the $152.2 million MDA contract for program protection, security assessment, and emergency management across missile defense installations nationwide, with subcontracted support from Banner Defense Inc., Cintel Inc., Troy 7 Inc., Venturi LLC, Pendleton Solutions LLC, and a coalition of small technical services providers including Dese Research Inc., ITC Defense Corp, and Asteri Systems Inc.

Service Contract Inventory data reveals a workforce trajectory of significant growth: FY2023 invoicing of $71 million across 332 FTEs and 218 FTEs measured in the SCI dataset (the discrepancy reflects SCI's focus on contract-level rather than task-order-level FTE allocation), rising to FY2024 invoicing of $80.9 million across 359 FTEs. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, System High derived government-paid hourly rates ranging from a 10th percentile of $78.46/hr to a 90th percentile of $130.19/hr (median $98.58/hr), reflecting a labor portfolio weighted toward mid-grade security specialists and program management support rather than senior executive or highly specialized engineering roles. The GSA Schedule labor portfolio consists of 48 active categories spanning security administration and training roles ($32.64/hr entry level) through senior security engineers and subject-matter experts pricing to $287.05/hr (20 years' experience, high school education minimum), with no security-cleared positions offered — a positioning consistent with the vendor's reliance on facilities-based work and industrial destruction services rather than classified program colocation.

System High operates primarily as a prime contractor (69% of awards) but maintains meaningful subcontractor engagement. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, 26% of contractor hours were performed by subcontractors across 56 named sub firms, indicating a mixed delivery model that builds internal security and program management capacity while leveraging specialized destruction and technical support subs. Named subcontractors include General Dynamics One Source (security support services), Booz Allen Hamilton (SAP IT destruction), CAE USA (F-16 simulator training support and equipment destruction at multiple Air Force sites including Luke, Holloman, Nellis, and Shaw), Parsons Government Services (Cyber Mission Support services), Salient CRGT Inc. (MAVERICK task order support), and Galapagos Federal Systems (Space Force STARCOM technical and organizational classified support). On the receiving end, System High subcontracts to larger primes including Northrop Grumman Systems Corp (GBSD engineering and manufacturing development), HII Mission Technologies Corp (Joint Network of Engineering and Emerging Operations), and Linquest Corporation (digital engineering research and development). This split suggests System High anchors its own prime relationships through specialized security and destruction expertise while accepting targeted subcontracted roles in larger platform-development and operations-support contracts where equipment disposition or security augmentation is a smaller cost element.

Recent activity shows a sharp contraction: 2024 delivered 32 prime awards, but 2025 and 2026 year-to-date show only 25 combined awards, indicating post-peak volume. However, the recompete cliff is severe — three awards with combined potential value of $318.9 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing approximately 28% of the vendor's total combined potential value. The three largest indefinite delivery contracts — the MDA $152.2 million program protection contract (completion February 25, 2028), the DARPA $166.5 million program security contract (completion March 20, 2027), and the NAVAIR $104.9 million F-35 security contract (completion February 9, 2027) — all complete within or near the 24-month window, creating substantial renewal and competitive risk. The SHIELD IDIQ ($151 billion ceiling) and OASIS+ Unrestricted ($999,999,999,999 placeholder ceiling) vehicles represent long-term vehicles but currently show minimal task-order utilization in the source material.
