About Veterans First Initiative LLC

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Veterans First Initiative LLC, doing business as VFI, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) headquartered in Haymarket, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor (89% of recent awards) delivering telecommunications infrastructure, network maintenance, IT modernization, and systems engineering services to the Department of Defense. VFI is SBA-certified as both a VOSB and SDVOSB through October 2027, structured as a limited liability partnership with two named subsidiaries—Optima Government Solutions LLC and Optima Government Solutions II LLC—each also SDVOSB-designated.

VFI's customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of the Navy and Marine Corps. The top five customer agencies account for 75% of recent award count. The Marine Corps dominates by volume (12 awards, $18.4 million combined potential value), anchoring VFI's recurring business in telecommunications maintenance and equipment procurement at domestic and overseas installations. By potential value, however, the distribution shifts dramatically: the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Electronic Systems Center carries $5.01 billion (a single EITaaS WAVE 1 BPA as a consortia member under CACI NSS team lead), and the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command carries $75 million across two awards, leaving Marine Corps work at $18.4 million. The Army Cyber Command, Naval Air Systems Command, and GSA round out the active customer set.

VFI holds three major vehicle positions. The Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ, awarded by the Missile Defense Agency on January 21, 2026, carries a ceiling of $151 billion with ultimate completion through December 2035 and supports advanced multi-domain defense systems spanning research, development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization across air, missile, space, and cyber threats. The EITaaS WAVE 1 BPA with the Air Force Electronic Systems Center, awarded August 1, 2025, carries a $5.01 billion ceiling through August 2032 and positions VFI as a CTA member for IT and telecommunications services procurement. On the Marine Corps side, VFI holds positions under the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence Integrated International Solutions (C4I CIIS) contract with Naval Information Warfare Systems Command ($75 million vehicle) and the SEAPORT-NXG multiple-award contract with Naval Sea Systems Command.

Concrete representative work includes a $2.7 million firm fixed-price purchase order (August 2023, Total Small Business set-aside) from the Marine Corps for telecommunications maintenance services supporting Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing and Gigabit Passive Optical Network systems at domestic installations, with performance extending through September 2026. A $1.95 million delivery order (February 2023, no set-aside) through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule provides telecommunications maintenance and support at Marine Corps Base Quantico. A $4.8 million firm fixed-price purchase order (June 2022, Total Small Business set-aside) from the Department of the Navy covers telephone equipment maintenance services for DWDM systems and associated infrastructure at military installations in Japan, Guam, and South Korea. Smaller purchase orders ($57.8 thousand to $349.8 thousand) address GPON server procurement and installation, unified messaging system deployment, and remote repair assistance at Marine Corps facilities.

Activity has declined year over year since 2022—from four awards in 2022 to one in 2024 and 2025, with two new awards in 2026. Only one award ($2.7 million Marine Corps telecommunications maintenance contract) faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete exposure in that window. VFI's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 22 categories across technical and program-management roles, with hourly rates ranging from $38.43 (Telephone Operator, High School education) through $190.33 (Program Manager, Bachelor's degree), covering cable installation, network services, systems security, structured wiring engineering, and program management functions without security-clearance requirements.

In its subcontractor role, VFI has delivered cybersecurity and network operations and maintenance support to Science Applications International Corporation on USACISA-P (U.S. Army Cyber Operations Center of Excellence) network operations work, with three sub-award entries dated August 2021. The SCI dataset shows limited sub-engagement: 21.9 FTEs delivered to the federal government in FY2024 across two SCI-reportable records, both in the subcontractor capacity, indicating VFI's federal services activity above the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold is currently routed through prime contracts and vehicle task orders rather than recorded as sub-level service lines. VFI competes predominantly full-and-open across recent prime work; set-aside designations (Total Small Business) appear on Marine Corps purchase orders but not on the two major IDIQs awarded in 2025 and 2026.
