Validatek Inc.

Validatek Inc., a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in McLean, Virginia, delivers IT systems engineering, cybersecurity, command-and-control infrastructure support, and spectrum management services to federal defense and civilian agencies primarily as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) across full-and-open and set-aside vehicles. The company is a Subchapter S corporation and Subcontinent Asian American-owned entity operating under primary NAICS codes 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services).

Validatek's recent award activity reflects dramatic concentration in two defense-tier vehicles and two major civilian procurements. The December 2025 award of a $151 billion multiple-award IDIQ under the Missile Defense Agency's Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program — a 10-year contract supporting multi-domain defense, research, development, prototyping, systems engineering, and modernization across classified and unclassified work at Huntsville, Alabama and other locations — represents the dominant potential-value anchor; the award carries no set-aside designation and was issued through full-and-open competition. The $73.1 million Department of State definitive contract for consular affairs queue management modernization (awarded September 2024, running through September 2029 on a time-and-materials basis) modernizes Q-flow enterprise queueing systems across domestic passport agencies and U.S. Embassies and Consulates worldwide. A $37 million Defense Information Systems Agency delivery order under the Systems Engineering Technology and Innovation (SETI) IDIQ (awarded January 2024, completing January 2027) calls for a Session Initiation Protocol policy engine routing solution with continuity-of-operations hardening; in fiscal year 2024, Validatek invoiced $4 million against this order, deploying 8.6 FTEs across approximately 18,000 contractor hours at a blended rate of $222.89 per hour and subcontracting roughly 49 percent of hours to a single subcontractor. Earlier work includes a $25 million Other Transaction Agreement with DISA (May 2022 through May 2026) for Spectrum Scheduling System and Interference Prevention, Detection, and Resolution sustainment and an $8.5 million Air Combat Command delivery order under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (awarded November 2022, extending through February 2028) for Global Command and Control System and Defensive Cyber Operations systems administration and technical support.

Customer concentration splits across defense IT and civilian service modernization. By award count, the Defense Information Systems Agency (6 awards, $180.8 million combined potential value) and the Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs (6 awards, $106.3 million) dominate, with GSA Federal Acquisition Service (4 awards, $119.5 million) and the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command and Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of the Chief Information Officer contributing smaller order volumes. By combined potential value, however, the Army Materiel Command — through a single Army Contracting Command award at Aberdeen Proving Ground — carries $37.4 billion, reflecting the SHIELD IDIQ's multi-year ceiling; this reshapes the portfolio dramatically and signals Validatek's entry into defense modernization procurement at scale. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration anchors another $1 billion single award. The portfolio covers 28 distinct agencies across 56 prime and sub awards.

Validatek holds four major vehicle positions. The 8(a) Streamlined Technology Acquisition Resources for Services (8(a) STARS II) GWAC serves 14 task orders valued at $99.7 million combined potential; a delivery order under this vehicle for DHS Secret Service COMSEC services was issued under 8(a) Sole Source in August 2021. The OASIS+ Unrestricted multiple-award IDIQ (awarded December 2024 with a multi-billion-dollar ceiling through December 2029) enables professional services competition across civilian agencies. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule carries 4 task orders worth $94.2 million combined. The SETI IDIQ places 3 task orders at $38 million combined value. A smaller Advisory and Assistance Services III vehicle with U.S. Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa supports 2 task orders.

Activity trajectory shows volatility: three awards in 2021 and two in 2022, one in 2023, five in 2024, and two in 2025. Three awards (combined potential value $46.5 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoicing across prime contracts totaled $7.4 million in FY2022 and FY2024 combined, deployed at a median government-paid rate of $204.86 per hour (10th percentile $169.68, 90th percentile $263.97) across roughly 5 to 16 FTEs annually. The company's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 100 categories from Service Desk Specialist ($48.35 per hour) through Subject Matter Expert Principal ($311.12 per hour), covering cyber, database, network engineering, and business process consulting roles; all are uncleared positions requiring associate to bachelor's-level education. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors perform approximately 20 percent of contractor hours, with two named subs reported in the dataset. Validatek subcontracts under CGI Federal on CDM DEFEND Group C network defense task orders (Department of Homeland Security work, with a transition order issued October 2024).
