Systems Northwest, LLC

Systems Northwest, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Evergreen, Montana, delivers low-voltage systems integration, physical access control, security systems maintenance, fire suppression infrastructure support, and facility infrastructure upgrades to federal research and administrative facilities as a prime contractor. The company operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) and self-performs all contracted work with its own labor. Systems Northwest competes across mixed set-aside and full-and-open vehicles — roughly 30 awards in the recent footprint carry Total Small Business set-asides, while the majority compete full-and-open — with primary NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services).

Customer concentration is extreme and tied to a single mission: the National Institutes of Health Construction office accounts for 96 awards and $25.8 million of the combined $28.5 million potential value across Systems Northwest's 125-award footprint (91% of award count, 99% of potential value). The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases contributes 11 awards and $210 thousand, followed by the Indian Health Service (3 awards, $74 thousand) and smaller agencies including the Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and Forest Service Job Corps. Within NIH Construction's portfolio, the Rocky Mountain Laboratories campus in Hamilton, Montana, is the dominant work location and repeat customer; Systems Northwest also performs at Bethesda, Fort Detrick, Rockville, Twin Brook, Poolesville, and Baltimore NIH facilities. This concentration around NIH-RML means that Systems Northwest's business is geographically and programmatically narrow, centered on life-safety and security infrastructure for a single premier federal research campus.

Systems Northwest holds five active indefinite-delivery contracts with NIH Construction, with combined ceiling values exceeding $9.5 million. The largest is Indefinite Delivery Contract 75N99020D00020 ($6.5 million single-award ceiling, Total Small Business set-aside), which funds 55 task orders valued at $7.7 million combined and covers low-voltage systems upgrades, installations, and maintenance at the RML campus through 2028. A $2.0 million single-award security systems maintenance and repair IDC (contract 75N99018D00015) has generated 7 task orders worth $647 thousand. A $1.0 million fire suppression systems inspection and maintenance IDC (contract 75N99022D00006) carries 5 task orders valued at $1 million. Two additional IDCs — one for $1 million in low-voltage systems work and another structured as an option-year vehicle — round out the IDIQ portfolio. Recent representative task orders include a $732.3 thousand delivery order for Physical Access Control System (PACS) upgrade to AccessXpert at RML (February 2024), a $799.7 thousand delivery order for wireless network refresh and expansion at RML (June 2023), a $725.8 thousand delivery order for Rees Scientific environmental monitoring system installation at RML (June 2023), and a $459.7 thousand delivery order for PACS upgrade Phase I & III scope work (May 2026). A $2.2 million sole-source purchase order from NIH's Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations for Physical Access Control System hardware (Schneider Electric controllers and reader modules) serving multiple NIH campuses was awarded September 2025.

Activity has contracted substantially. Systems Northwest recorded 18 awards in 2022, declining to 10 in 2023, 6 in 2024, 5 in 2025, and 3 in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across the active footprint is $28.5 million, of which $15.2 million has been obligated (53%). Ten awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months (through October 2027) carry combined potential value of $1.7 million, representing modest recompete pressure in the window, though the bulk of Systems Northwest's value and volume sit in IDC vehicles extending through 2028. The trajectory pattern — flat-to-declining award count with heavy reliance on a small number of large parent IDCs — reflects a vendor whose pipeline is anchored to RML campus operations and whose diversification beyond that single customer is minimal.

Service Contract Inventory data captures a partial and thin slice of Systems Northwest's federal activity. SCI-reportable invoiced revenue totaled $2.3 million across FY2022–FY2025 (FY2022: $1.3 million; FY2024: $1 million; FY2023 and FY2025 showing zero invoicing in the SCI dataset). The vendor's SCI-tracked workforce was 0.3 FTEs in FY2022, 0.4 FTEs in FY2024, and effectively zero in FY2023 and FY2025 — a profile consistent with project-based, self-performed labor on discrete facility upgrades rather than staffed service contracts. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid median hourly rates ran around $1,864/hr, with the 10th percentile at $665.73/hr and the 90th percentile at $5,252.01/hr, reflecting a mix of technician, engineering, and project-management labor. Systems Northwest carries zero sub-hours share on SCI-reportable prime contracts, confirming its in-house delivery model. Note that SCI is a strict federal services reporting subset and excludes goods, micro-purchases, and classified work; the $2.3 million SCI figure substantially understates the vendor's total federal revenue, which includes the large hardware purchase orders (such as the $2.2 million PACS hardware order) and numerous task orders below or outside the SCI reporting threshold.
