Trusted Systems, Inc.

Trusted Systems, Inc., a small business manufacturer headquartered in Finksburg, Maryland, designs and manufactures GSA-approved Class 5 Information Processing System containers, biometric authentication systems, and secured communications equipment for classified information protection across the federal government, competing as a prime contractor on 98% of its recent awards with no set-aside designations on the vast majority of work.

Trusted Systems operates across a highly concentrated customer base anchored by the General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service, which accounts for 19 awards carrying $303.5 million in combined potential value—96% of the vendor's total potential value across all awards. This concentration reflects Trusted Systems' position on a single, dominant IDV: a $300 million indefinite-delivery contract for GSA-approved security containers and vaults awarded April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2027, with four one-year option periods. The contract covers approximately 1,024 National Stock Numbers across Class 5 and Class 6 configurations under Federal Supply Class 7110. The GSA vehicle carries nine task orders valued at $154 thousand in the source snapshot, but the underlying ceiling dominates the vendor's pipeline. Beyond GSA, the vendor serves the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (26 awards, $1.7 million), the Department of the Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command (5 awards, $1.2 million), the Marine Corps (29 awards, $932 thousand), and the Air National Guard (9 awards, $709 thousand). The vendor also holds a $3 million BPA with GSA FAS (awarded June 14, 2025, through June 13, 2026) for direct delivery of Class 5 IPS containers to military and civilian agencies, and a second $250,000 BPA with GSA FAS running through June 13, 2025, both permitting small business set-aside on individual task orders.

Concrete capability work spans physical security hardware manufacturing and installation. Representative prime awards include a $374,711 Total Small Business set-aside definitive contract with the Air National Guard (July 10, 2025) for CyberSecure IPS Stoplight management hardware, operational software, and integration at Joint Base Andrews with completion through July 9, 2030; a $552,760 purchase order from Air Forces Europe and Africa (September 18, 2025) for Class 5 IPS containers delivered to Germany; a $291,475 Total Small Business award from Air Combat Command (August 9, 2024) for a SIPRGUARD system for the 91st Missile Wing; and a $150,887 sole-source purchase order from Air Force Joint Personnel Recovery Agency (September 19, 2025) for an INCOGNITO Executive Communication System with secure storage and biometric authentication at Joint Base Andrews, completed March 31, 2026. The vendor also delivers maintenance services—a $1,674 SIPRGUARD maintenance plan with U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces (September 13, 2023) for performance in Japan—and installation work, including a $52,136 Coast Guard purchase order (June 26, 2026) to install two SIPR Guard systems into Trusted Systems IPS containers in Miami, Florida.

Activity has declined modestly year over year, from 25 awards in 2023 to 13 in 2026 (year-to-date through mid-July). Only 13 awards carrying $380 thousand in combined potential value reach completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The vendor's award footprint spans 122 distinct federal agencies, though concentration at GSA FAS is extreme; the top five customers by potential value account for 96% of dollars. Prime category concentration clusters in All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (130 awards), Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing (40 awards), Office Equipment Merchant Wholesalers (40 awards), and Computer Storage Device Manufacturing (35 awards). PSC concentration aligns with the product mix: Office Furniture (87 awards), Communications Security Equipment and Components (38 awards), Cabinets, Lockers, Bins, and Shelving (32 awards), and Specialized Shipping and Storage Containers (31 awards).

Trusted Systems carries a minimal subcontract footprint—7 sub-awards (2% of total) over the source period. Named subs include Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. (four Class 5 IPS container and INCOGNITO secured communications awards, January 2025 through October 2024), Fluor Marine Propulsion, LLC (a Naval Nuclear Laboratory security cabinet order, May 2024), Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC (Y-12 National Security Complex management and operations, June 2024), and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (annual site surveys and hardware migration, July 2023). The sub work is incidental to the vendor's core prime posture; Trusted Systems operates as a specialized equipment manufacturer and does not function as a systems integrator or program manager for larger primes.

Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $18.2 million against $320.2 million in combined potential value, reflecting the IDIQ structure and the vendor's reliance on the GSA $300 million contract ceiling that has not yet been heavily tasked. The vendor has served federal agencies continuously since at least 1992, with 364 total awards in the source data spanning 34 years.
