About the company
Trace Systems Inc. Home Office Division, headquartered in Tampa, Florida, supplies satellite communications equipment, activation, and repair services to federal defense and civilian agencies as a prime contractor (99% of awards) under full-and-open competitive procurement with no set-aside designation. The for-profit Subchapter S corporation operates a broad federal footprint spanning 62 customer agencies and 590 total awards with combined potential value of $108.07 billion, though the vast majority of this value derives from three parent IDIQs awarded in late 2024 and mid-2025.
Trace Systems' capability portfolio centers on enhanced mobile satellite services (EMSS) equipment and activation—564 of 590 awards fall under satellite telecommunications NAICS 782102, reflecting a hyper-specialized delivery order operation. The company's representative work consists of hundreds of small firm-fixed-price delivery orders for satellite equipment, activation, and repair across defense and civilian agencies. Recent examples include a $1.815 billion cost-plus-fixed-fee task order from U.S. Special Operations Command on June 8, 2026, for the Enterprise Acquisition of Geospatial Leveraged Equipment and Integration (EAGLE-I) program under OASIS+ Unrestricted, a $889,300 delivery order from the Peace Corps on September 30, 2026, for voice, text, and voicemail services to roughly 200 satellite phones distributed globally through September 2031 under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, and dozens of smaller EMSS orders from the Coast Guard, Navy, Air Force, and Army Cyber Command ranging from $51 to $49,365 per order.
Customer concentration is extreme. The top five customers by award count account for only 41% of awards, but concentration by potential value is far more pronounced: Defense Information Systems Agency anchors the portfolio with 46 awards valued at $14.84 billion combined (13.7% of total potential value), followed by U.S. Special Operations Command with 34 awards at $1.82 billion, Air Force Air Combat Command with 13 awards at $184.8 million, Army Cyber Command with 97 awards at $38.8 million, and Space and Missile Systems Center with 12 awards at $14.5 million. The DISA concentration is driven entirely by a single $13 billion Proliferated Low Earth Orbit Satellite-Based Services (PLEO) IDIQ awarded July 15, 2025, which represents 36.8% of the vendor's total portfolio potential value. Army Cyber Command, while placing the most orders (97 awards), contributes only $38.8 million, indicating a high-volume, low-dollar transaction model.
Trace Systems holds position on four significant parent vehicles. The largest by ceiling is the $13 billion DISA PLEO IDIQ (July 15, 2025 – July 17, 2033), which has generated only a handful of task orders to date but carries enormous dollar exposure. The $151 billion Missile Defense Agency Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ (December 29, 2025 – December 28, 2035) added a $500 initial task order. The GSA Alliant 3 GWAC (multiple award, unrestricted, through March 9, 2036) has issued task orders including the $1.815 billion EAGLE-I award. The OASIS+ Total Small Business Set-Aside IDIQ (December 19, 2024 – December 18, 2029) rounds out the vehicle portfolio, though activity there is lighter. Subordinate to these vehicles, an Indefinite Delivery Contract HC101322D0005 accounts for 559 of the 590 awards—a parent vehicle supporting the majority of the small EMSS delivery orders issued across defense commands.
Activity accelerated sharply in 2025, rising from 2 awards in 2023 to 325 in 2025 and 241 through October 2026. This growth is entirely attributable to the IDIQ awards in late 2024 and 2025; the vendor's underlying operational tempo is masked by hundreds of micro-orders. Only 3 awards (combined potential value $59.4 million) face completion inside the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure.
SCI-reported invoicing covers only prime service contracts above $150,000, a strict subset excluding goods, products, and micro-purchases that dominate the Trace Systems award list. SCI shows $19.7 million in invoiced revenue in FY2025 across roughly 76 FTEs delivered to federal customers on prime contracts; FY2024 carried no SCI-reportable invoicing. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable work ran a median of $89.20/hour, with a range from $51.95/hour at the 10th percentile to $121.84/hour at the 90th percentile. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed an average of 38% of total hours, with 9 named subs reported; this is a material sub-engagement share for the limited SCI-reportable slice, but the vendor's core EMSS equipment and activation orders are priced firm-fixed and may not require detailed sub-reporting. The vendor's GSA Schedule labor portfolio includes 84 unique categories spanning $47.53 to $352.51 per hour across IT operations, support, systems engineering, and subject-matter-expert roles, with no security-cleared positions offered.
The vendor operates as a prime on 99% of awards and subcontracts minimally. Named subs include General Dynamics Information Technology (two awards in 2025–2026 for BICES/BICES-X sustainment products). Teaming is sparse across the visible portfolio, consistent with a vendor executing transactional equipment and activation orders rather than large system-integration programs. The recompete cliff is shallow: only three awards complete in the next twenty-four months, though the concentration of potential value in three IDIQs awarded in the last fifteen months creates a longer-dated refinance risk if those vehicles do not generate sustained task-order activity.
