Vickers & Nolan Enterprises LLC

Vickers & Nolan Enterprises LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned (SDVOSB), minority-owned small business based in Stafford, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor (86% of recent awards) on Department of Defense intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), and information operations platforms, predominantly on full-and-open, non-set-aside delivery orders under GSA-managed GWACs and agency IDIQs. The firm's federal footprint spans engineering services, systems integration, intelligence training and support, and logistics operations delivered to the Marine Corps, Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, and Army materiel customers, with recent SCI-reportable invoicing of $57.3 million across fiscal years 2022–2025.

Vickers & Nolan's potential-value concentration is heavily skewed by two large vehicle holdings. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground accounts for $37.4 billion in combined potential value (100% concentrated on a single vehicle by implied geography), while the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command carries $10 billion across four awards. The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command ranks third by dollars ($1.02 billion across 11 awards) but second by count — the Marine Corps generates 14 awards worth $112 million combined, reflecting a volume-based customer relationship distinct from the dollar concentration at Army and NAVSEA. By coverage, the top five customer components account for 75% of recent award counts and 100% of potential value.

Vehicle positioning centers on Seaport Next Generation (Seaport-NXG), where Vickers & Nolan holds seven task orders worth $264.6 million combined potential value — the largest single vehicle anchor in the portfolio. A $118.97 million Seaport-NXG delivery order issued August 29, 2025, to Naval Information Warfare Systems Command funds integrated logistics support, software support, and configuration management services to NIWC Atlantic's Program Manager Warfare 120 and Program Manager Shipping 485 customers through February 28, 2031. A second major Seaport-NXG vehicle, a $53.3 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order awarded July 6, 2023, to the Electronic Systems Center for Marine Corps intelligence training and systems support in Hanahan, South Carolina, ran 26.7 FTEs and 55,482 contractor hours in FY2025 at a blended rate of $112.43 per hour, with 34% of work subcontracted across five named subs. Vickers & Nolan also holds a $92.3 million Seaport-NXG vehicle for Marine Corps signals intelligence support awarded August 31, 2022, to Naval Information Warfare Systems Command; SCI reporting shows the order invoiced $16.5 million in FY2024 (65.3 FTEs) and $14.6 million in FY2025 (52.7 FTEs) with three subcontractors performing 36% of hours. The firm additionally places work on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (five task orders, $18.5 million combined), SeaPort-e (three task orders, $50.8 million), and several Navy-specific vehicles including SSC LANT Battlespace Awareness Support (four task orders, $18.1 million).

Beyond Seaport vehicles, Vickers & Nolan was awarded two signature IDIQs in the past year. On May 28, 2026, Naval Information Warfare Systems Command awarded Vickers & Nolan a multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract ceiling of $699.986 million through May 27, 2033, for development, technical, management, and engineering services spanning ISR systems and information operations from seabed to space, including algorithm development, hardware and software development, systems engineering, logistics, and training; work is performed worldwide onboard afloat vessels, in port, and alongside NATO partners. On December 29, 2025, the Missile Defense Agency awarded Vickers & Nolan a $151 billion multiple-award IDIQ titled Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) through December 28, 2035, covering research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, and test and evaluation for air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat defense; work areas leverage artificial intelligence, machine learning, and open systems architectures.

Activity shows volatility rather than sustained growth. The portfolio recorded one award in 2022, three in 2023, two in 2024, six in 2025, and two in the first three months of 2026. Two awards worth $145.6 million combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoicing grew from $9.1 million on 39.7 FTEs in FY2022 to $25.5 million on 98.0 FTEs in FY2024, then moderated to $22.7 million on 86.6 FTEs in FY2025. Government-paid hourly rates across SCI-reportable prime contracts span a median of $119.50 per hour, with the 10th percentile at $111.26 per hour and the 90th percentile at $134.00 per hour.

Vickers & Nolan subcontracts 26% of contractor hours across its prime contracts on average, with 23 named subcontractors reported across the SCI footprint. Recent named primes include Leidos (two awards for systems engineering and in-service engineering activity on Distributed Common Ground Station Navy sustainment, March and April 2025), Bowhead Weapons Development Solutions LLC (cybersecurity support for Marine Corps infrastructure, July 2025), ManTech TSG-2 Joint Venture (research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences, September 2024), Fathom 4 LLC (Distributed Common Ground Surface System engineering and technical support, October 2023), and Booz Allen Hamilton (mission information technology services, August 2023). The GSA Schedule labor portfolio offers 38 unique categories priced from $56.75 per hour for administrative roles through $270.82 per hour for executive consultant positions, spanning high school through bachelor's-degree educational backgrounds with no security-clearance roles listed.
