Terrapin Systems LLC

Terrapin Systems LLC (doing business as Terpsys), a Gaithersburg, Maryland–based sole proprietorship operating as a Subchapter S corporation, operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering IT systems design, development, and professional services to federal agencies, with 100% of recent awards placed on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. The vendor holds no SBA certifications and competes full-and-open across its customer base.

Terrapin's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the National Institutes of Health. The top five customer components account for 81% of combined potential value, with NIH's National Cancer Institute anchoring the portfolio (3 awards, $147.7 million combined potential value), followed by NIH's National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (2 awards, $44.3 million) and NIH's Office of the Chief Operating Officer (1 award, $33.2 million). By award count, concentration is more distributed — the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and the Department of Justice's Tax Division each hold 4 awards, and HHS Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration holds 3 — but the dollar skew toward NIH is decisive. Terrapin serves 14 distinct customer agencies across its footprint. The vendor places all 28 task orders under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, representing the entirety of its recent activity ($337.9 million combined potential value).

Terrapin's capability portfolio, grounded in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), centers on custom software development, enterprise IT architecture, and program management. Representative work includes multi-million-dollar awards for cancer research informatics systems and environmental health data platforms at NIH institutes. The vendor's GSA Schedule labor offerings span ten categories at rates from $68.11 per hour (entry-level Computer Analyst, associate degree) to $221.34 per hour (Consultant, associate degree with three years of experience), with no security-cleared positions offered. The labor portfolio emphasizes software development, web development, project management, and senior consultant roles — typical of a software-services prime oriented toward custom development and modernization.

Activity, however, has contracted significantly. The vendor received only one award in 2021 (the most recent award in the source data, dated May 13, 2021), and no awards appear in the source for 2022 through 2026. Annual volume between 2012 and 2021 hovered at one award per year with intermittent gaps. No recompete-window analysis is available given the age of the most recent award; current market posture and contract pipeline are not signaled by the source data.
