Raft LLC

Raft LLC, doing business as Healthstar Informatics, is an SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business and 8(a) program participant that delivers digital consulting, software development, cloud engineering, DevSecOps, data analytics, and enterprise IT solutions to federal defense and civilian agencies, operating predominantly as a prime contractor (94% of awards) on full-and-open and small-business set-aside vehicles.

Raft LLC competes across both full-and-open and set-aside categories, with recent prime work split between unrestricted competition and Total Small Business, Woman-Owned Small Business, and 8(a) set-asides. The company maintains a subsidiary, N3Bula Systems Inc., itself a self-certified small disadvantaged business and service-disabled veteran-owned business.

Customer concentration centers on defense agencies. The Department of the Air Force leads by award count at 17 awards worth $2.53 billion in combined potential value, followed by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (12 awards, $231.3 million). The top five customers by award count account for 62% of awards. However, the top-five ranking by potential value reflects Air Force dominance: the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command anchors $4.01 billion across 3 awards through the SeaPort-NXG IDIQ, the Air Force carries $2.53 billion across 17 awards, and the Space and Missile Systems Center holds $918.1 million across 3 awards. The Office of the Secretary of Defense and CFPB round out the top five by dollars. The spread illustrates Air Force and Navy concentration: 62% of potential value flows to those two services.

Raft LLC holds a portfolio of large government-wide and agency-specific vehicles. The SeaPort Next Generation $4 billion multiple-award IDIQ with Naval Sea Systems Command (ceiling value $4 billion, ultimate completion January 1, 2029) is the single largest vehicle on the portfolio; a minimum-guarantee delivery order for $500 was issued March 6, 2025. The Air Force SBIR Phase III single-award IDIQ ($349.2 million, ultimate completion August 21, 2030) anchors cloud services and Special Operations Forces data work; recent task orders include BLACK LABEL ($33.2 million delivery order awarded January 12, 2026) and SOF Data Layer ($20.2 million delivery order awarded November 1, 2025). A new $151 billion multiple-award Missile Defense Agency SHIELD IDIQ (ultimate completion December 28, 2035) was awarded December 29, 2025, with an initial $500 delivery order the same date. The Space and Missile Systems Center holds a $900 million Space System Command Data Services IDIQ (ultimate completion March 31, 2029). The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency awarded an $800 million BPA for National Background Investigation Services modernization (ultimate completion July 20, 2030) on October 10, 2025. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau maintains two BPAs: a $100 million single-award Design, Development, Content, and Marketing support vehicle (total small business set-aside, ultimate completion February 27, 2028) and a $100 million single-award Competitive 8(a) Regulatory Technology Support Services BPA (ultimate completion January 6, 2027); multiple task orders under both vehicles total approximately $20.6 million. Raft LLC also sits on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule across 26 task orders valued at $308.6 million combined. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Architecture and Integration Directorate multiple-award IDIQ ($900 million, ultimate completion November 14, 2027) was awarded December 9, 2022.

Larger Air Force programs include ABMS CBC2 Communications Broker services ($58.1 million delivery order awarded February 13, 2023, ultimate completion August 12, 2028) and ENDOR services ($132.3 million delivery order, Total Small Business set-aside, awarded June 15, 2022, ultimate completion December 14, 2026). In the civilian sector, Raft LLC holds a CFPB $100 million Competitive 8(a) BPA for regulatory technology support and has issued multiple task orders under it for Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and small business lending initiatives.

Awards reach ultimate completion across a nine-month to multi-year arc. Nine awards totaling $255.7 million in combined potential value face recompete inside the next twenty-four months, representing near-term pipeline pressure. Activity trajectory shows volatility: 12 awards in 2022, 15 in 2023, a drop to 7 in 2024, recovery to 12 in 2025, and 2 in early 2026 (source date July 2026). The most recent award — the Air Force USSF S6 definitive contract in February 2026 — is five months old.

Raft LLC competes across custom computer programming services (47 awards), applied and experimental R&D (27 awards), and IT management and application development support, per the top NAICS and PSC categories. GSA Schedule labor rates span $77.10/hr (Systems Administrator I, bachelor's, no clearance) through $331.25/hr (Cloud IT SME, bachelor's, 15 years experience), positioning the vendor across mid-tier to senior technical and business-analyst roles without cleared offerings. SCI-reportable invoicing under federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $5.5 million in FY2022 across 18.4 FTEs on prime records; SCI shows zero invoicing in FY2023 and $7.5 FTEs in FY2024 across 13 prime records, reflecting a partial-visibility dataset that excludes goods, classified work, and the bulk of Raft LLC's estimated $9.19 billion potential value pipeline. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reported prime labor averaged $289.94/hr at the median (10th percentile $91.05/hr, 90th percentile $423.60/hr). Across SCI prime contracts, Raft LLC self-performed 100% of reported labor with no subcontractor hours recorded.

Raft LLC subcontracts to major defense primes including Science Applications International Corporation (Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities TENCAP HOPE 20 engineering services, awarded July 23, 2025; ABMS Distributed Battle Management Node Phase II engineering support awarded July 2, 2024), KBR Wyle Services LLC (option-year incremental funding modification awarded January 22, 2025), Georgia Tech Applied Research Corporation (Multi-Level Multi-Compartment Security Cloud Software Development Kit production effort awarded June 29, 2022), and unnamed Transcom Cloud Optimal DevSecOps Ecosystem support services (awarded January 1, 2025).
