Systems Technology Forum, LTD.

Systems Technology Forum, LTD., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Fredericksburg, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor (91% of recent awards) on defense technical and engineering services, with secondary sub-award activity concentrated in C4ISR systems support, training delivery, and electronic systems installation. The company competes full-and-open across its prime footprint with no SBA set-aside designations on most work, though it holds a position on the OASIS+ Small Business IDIQ and pursues Total Small Business set-aside awards on select Marine Corps electronic systems installations.

Systems Technology Forum's customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of the Navy. Naval Information Warfare Systems Command anchors 170 awards with $1.94 billion combined potential value, followed by Naval Sea Systems Command with 23 awards totaling $10.13 billion combined potential value. Together these two Navy entities account for 79% of awards by count, though the potential-value picture is anchored by two outsized Army awards totaling $37.4 billion combined potential value — a structural imbalance indicating the Army awards are likely IDIQ ceilings while Navy awards represent smaller task-order delivery values. The Marine Corps, Military Sealift Command, and General Services Administration round out the active customer base.

The company's primary vehicle position sits on SeaPort-e (27 task orders, $345.6 million combined potential value) and Seaport Next Generation (Seaport-NXG). Additional significant vehicles include the Integration, Engineering and Support for C4ISR and Shore Platforms IDIQ (16 task orders, $48.4 million), the Cyber Mission Systems, Kitting, and Supplies IDIQ (14 task orders, $50.6 million), the GSA Multiple Award Schedule covering 88 labor categories at hourly rates from $51.88 to $243.45, the OASIS+ Unrestricted GWAC (awarded December 2024, full-and-open), the OASIS+ Small Business GWAC (awarded April 2025, small-business set-aside), and the recently awarded Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ under Missile Defense Agency (ceiling $151 billion, ten-year performance through 2035).

Representative prime-contract work spans MUOS training delivery across Air Force, Navy, and Special Operations Command (multiple task orders ranging from $24,000 to $450,280); Marine Corps Electronic Systems installations including automated access control, intrusion detection, closed-circuit television, and mass notification systems across multiple facilities ($3.49 million to $3.34 million delivery orders, with one Total Small Business set-aside); Naval Information Warfare Center support including fleet installation office services ($24.4 million), warehouse and logistical support ($5.48 million), knowledge management support ($2.17 million), and engineering services (multiple orders ranging $880,000 to $10.3 million, cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing); surface ship integration and installation technical-logistics support through Seaport-NXG ($32.6 million and $39.8 million delivery orders); and COIN/NEXUS command-and-control software product management with expeditionary unmanned systems support ($2.5 million). Performance locations include Fredericksburg, Virginia (headquarters and primary operations); Pearl City and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (Naval Information Warfare Center Activity Pacific support); North Charleston, South Carolina (surface ship integration work); San Diego, California (project management and engineering services); and subordinate locations at military installations nationwide.

Activity has grown from 7 awards in 2022 to 23 in 2025, with 11 awards (combined potential value $30.2 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete. Across SCI-reportable prime service contracts, the vendor invoiced $36.5 million (FY2022–FY2024), with FY2022 at $14 million and FY2023 at $16.1 million before declining to $6.4 million in FY2024. The FY2024 decline reflects a shift in the SCI-reportable subset and does not characterize overall revenue trajectory. FTE delivery fluctuated across the period — 130 FTEs in FY2022, 64.4 FTEs in FY2023, and 104 FTEs in FY2024 — with an average sub-hours share across prime contracts of 18%, indicating Systems Technology Forum delivers most work with its own labor. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ran a median of $85.14/hr, ranging from $75.51/hr at the tenth percentile to $98.19/hr at the ninetieth percentile.

In its subcontractor role, Systems Technology Forum delivers C4ISR systems engineering support, MUOS professional training, and technical-engineering services to Scientific Research Corporation (multiple sub-awards), Booz Allen Hamilton (PMW 790 program support and engineering services), Leidos (distributed common ground station systems engineering and training), General Dynamics Information Technology (services work), Chugach Dynamic Solutions (maintenance, repair, and modernization support), and Rockwell Collins (KC-135 MUOS training). The vendor regularly names 15 subcontractors across its own prime contract portfolio, including HQE Systems, Inc. (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business providing electronic security infrastructure), KBR Wyle Services, Engineering Services Network Inc., and S4 Systems LLC on large systems-integration efforts.

STF provides software, engineering and consulting services to include system and software engineering, systems analysis and design, architecture system support, configuration management, in-service support, acquisition and logistic management.
