Tista Science And Technology Corporation

Tista Science and Technology Corporation, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) based in Rockville, Maryland, delivers healthcare IT, federal IT operations support, and systems development services to civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor on 189 awards (97% of recent footprint) across multiple government-wide vehicles and agency-specific IDIQs. Tista is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation competing under SDVOSB and 8(a) set-asides on smaller contracts and full-and-open on larger ceiling awards; the vendor's top vehicles—CIO-SP3 Small Business, T4NG, and SEWP VI—route work across the civilian IT landscape with particular concentration in healthcare and VA systems.

Customer concentration is dominated by two agencies that account for over half of named potential value. The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center holds 22 awards worth $23.41 billion in combined potential value and anchors Tista's T4NG delivery order for program management and IT operations support (FY2025 invoiced $26.2 million across 159 FTEs at $79.44 per hour, growing from $1.8 million in FY2023). The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services commands 26 awards worth $1.25 billion combined potential value across clinical data abstraction, marketplace testing, T-MSIS system support, and National Level Repository development; Tista's largest current award is a $26.2 million Competitive 8(a) delivery order under CIO-SP3 SB for clinical data abstraction and quality reporting support to CMS's Center for Clinical Standards and Quality (ultimate completion August 2031). The Department of the Treasury IRS holds 30 awards ($238.4 million combined potential value) for EA3 support and IT operations. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command and the NIH NITAAC Office of Information Technology Acquisition each anchor roughly $60–72 billion in ceiling potential across multiple awards, reflecting Tista's seat on the SEWP VI and other government-wide vehicles. Tista has worked with 46 distinct customer agencies across the federal civilian and defense IT footprint.

Tista holds positions on five major government-wide vehicles: CIO-SP3 Small Business (28 task orders, $599.1 million combined potential value), T4NG IDIQ (21 task orders, $1.11 billion combined potential value), the 8(a) STARS II GWAC (15 task orders, $128.5 million combined potential value), the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (10 task orders, $544.1 million combined potential value), and SEWP VI GWAC (awarded November 2026, $20 billion ceiling, running through October 2036). Tista also holds a direct GSA MAS contract ($2.5 million ceiling through July 2031) and the SPARC IDIQ vehicle (9 task orders, $301.2 million combined potential value). Recent representative work includes a $54.4 million SDVOSB delivery order under CIO-SP3 SB with USDA Farm Service Agency for IT operations (July 2022 through May 2027, FY2024 invoiced $14.1 million across 51 FTEs at $132.87 per hour with four subcontractors performing 32% of hours), a $13.999 billion Total Small Business delivery order under CIO-SP3 SB with the National Institute on Drug Abuse for NIA IT support (September 2024 through August 2029, FY2025 invoiced $2.7 million across 13.7 FTEs at $94.01 per hour), and a $1.79 million firm fixed-price delivery order under SPARC with CMS for marketplace testing and systems acceptance verification (March 2025, ultimate completion May 2025).

Activity shows variable year-to-year awards (5 in 2022, declining to 2 in 2023–2025, rebounding to 4 in 2026) but strong cumulative volume—194 awards since 2008 with combined potential value of $190.2 billion and $2.13 billion obligated to date (1% of potential ceiling). Three awards with combined potential value of $851.4 million complete within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoiced revenue on prime federal service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold totaled $987.4 million across FY2022–FY2025: $265.8 million in FY2022 across 801 FTEs, $296.5 million in FY2023 across 943 FTEs, $256.7 million in FY2024 across 953 FTEs, and $168.3 million in FY2025 across 737 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $76.21 per hour through a median of $131.87 per hour to a 90th percentile of $216.28 per hour, reflecting a mix of clinical data entry, IT operations, program management, and senior technical labor.

Tista operates with significant subcontractor engagement across SCI-reportable prime contracts: subcontractors accounted for an average of 35 percent of contractor hours, with 272 named subcontractors reported across the prime footprint. Named subcontract primes include Peraton Inc. (Fraud Prevention System 2 maintenance and development, June 2026), Kelly Services Inc. (budget and financial systems support, December 2024), BCG Federal Corp. (program executive office transformation services, July 2024), and Nationwide IT Services Inc. (professional services, July 2022). GSA Schedule labor offerings span 239 unique categories ranging from $39.07 per hour (Cloud IT Database Entry Clerk, high school education) through $327.52 per hour (Cloud IT Principal, bachelor's, ten years experience), with no security-cleared roles listed. The portfolio emphasizes healthcare IT, IT operations, project management, and cloud architecture labor across the civilian federal IT footprint, with concentration in HHS, VA, IRS, and USDA work streams.

TISTA's IT Services include Program Management Support, Cybersecurity/Information Assurance, Operations & Maintenance, and Application Development. TISTA's non-IT services include financial management, back office support, and administrative support.
