VT Milcom Inc.

VT Milcom Inc., a subsidiary of VT Services Inc. and a for-profit defense contractor headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia, delivers command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) system installation, hardware integration, and naval platform modernization services to the U.S. Department of Defense as a prime contractor on 98 percent of recent awards, with no small business set-asides applied across its portfolio.

The company's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR), which accounts for 3,390 awards carrying $12.59 billion in combined potential value—roughly 35 percent of VT Milcom's entire federal footprint. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) ranks second with 259 awards and $1.71 billion in potential value, followed by Naval Air Systems Command with 13 awards and $253.3 million. The Department of the Navy broadly (4,615 awards) represents the overwhelming majority of the vendor's customer set, with the Air Force representing minimal exposure (111 awards, $1.6 million). The split between these rankings reflects NAVWAR's dominance in both award volume and dollar concentration—small orders under multiple vehicles coupled with large IDIQ ceilings.

VT Milcom's capability portfolio centers on afloat and shore-based naval C4ISR installations, including hardware installation on guided-missile destroyers, attack submarines, amphibious warfare ships, and aircraft carriers; shore-based infrastructure modernization at Naval Computer and Telecommunications Stations and Naval Information Warfare Centers; and technical insertion work spanning firmware, computing infrastructure, electronic security systems, and network upgrades. The vendor's primary NAICS categories are engineering services (4,166 awards) and ship building and repairing (157 awards); primary PSC codes reflect maintenance and repair of communication and detection equipment (3,378 awards) and installation of electrical and electronic equipment components (2,031 awards). Representative prime work includes a $13.35 million delivery order for Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) production baseline work under the CANES Full Deployment Production IDIQ (November 2024); a $23.4 million Technical Insertion 2016 computing infrastructure ordnance alteration kit procurement and installation under Naval Sea Systems Command (November 2023, $23.4 million ceiling through November 2028); a $239,027 sole-source definitive contract from the Department of Transportation for Tellabs-based passive optical LAN modernization (September 2026, drawing on twelve years of continuous institutional knowledge as the original equipment integrator); and multiple $700 thousand to $5.6 million delivery orders for C4ISR hardware installations aboard individual destroyers, submarines, and supply ships under the SPAWAR Afloat C4ISR Installations 2019 IDIQ.

VT Milcom holds position on multiple large naval IDIQs. The five highest-activity parent vehicles are Indefinite Delivery Contract N6523606D8848 (1,678 task orders, $670.7 million combined potential value), N6523601D3819 (1,064 task orders, $191 thousand), N0003911D0033 (554 task orders, $609.8 million), N0018996D0020 (495 task orders), and N0061295D8501 (487 task orders). Named active IDIQs include the SPAWAR Afloat C4ISR Installations 2019 (supporting shipboard C4ISR modernization), SPAWAR Shore Global C4ISR Installations (shore-based installations), Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services Full Deployment Production (CANES FD, a Major Automated Information System consolidating shipboard IT networks), Network Integration Engineering Facility Production (NIEF, a $95.99 million vehicle awarded December 2025 for rapid design, integration, and production support of COTS and GOTS hardware and software), the LIIS CMDS MAC ($249.9 million ceiling awarded June 2026 by Naval Air Systems Command for logistics information technology capability modernization, operations support, and installation across guided-missile destroyers, attack submarines, and shore facilities), the S2ISR MAC ($349.99 million ceiling awarded May 2026 by NAVWAR for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance systems and Information Operations development and technical support worldwide, including onboard afloat vessels and at coalition partner nations), the Automated Digital Network System MAC ($452.925 million ceiling awarded May 2026 for fleet connectivity and network infrastructure via tactical networks in transitional Communication as a Service architecture), the CNO Availabilities for Fast Attack Submarines IDIQ ($762.4 million ceiling awarded September 2025 for critical systems engineering and non-critical production work supporting fast attack submarine repair, maintenance, and modernization across four public shipyards), the Hull, Mechanical and Electrical Machinery and Systems Services IDIQ ($496.1 million ceiling awarded July 2024 for engineering and technical services supporting naval communication and network systems), and the Integration, Engineering and Support for C4ISR and Shore Platforms IDIQ for C4ISR and shore platform engineering work.

Activity has grown sharply: 28 awards in 2022, 40 in 2023, 158 in 2024, declining to 52 in 2025 and 18 in 2026 (year-to-date through September). This decline likely reflects the awards data snapshot rather than sustained loss of market position; the recent IDIQ awards (June–December 2025) support continued ordering across the dominant NAVWAR and NAVSEA customer base. Twenty-seven awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $41.3 million, representing limited near-term recompete exposure on a vendor managing billions in active IDIQ ceiling value.

VT Milcom operates as a prime on 98 percent of awards and frequently subcontracts specialized work. Sub-award patterns include material and component supply (Arrow Electronics for electrical components, Red River Technology LLC for IT hardware, CDW Government LLC and Govsmart Inc. for computer supplies), marine services (Oceaneering International Inc., Mid-Atlantic Marine Cleaning LLC), rigging and fabrication (W.O. Grubb Steel Erection Incorporated, Tecnico Corporation, East Coast Repair & Fabrication LLC), electrical and fiber-optic components (Heilind Mil-Aero LLC, Genuine Cable Group LLC / Seacoast Electric, Kitco Fiber Optics Inc., Noran Inc.), HVAC systems (Engineered Coil Company, Air Connect Engineering Inc. — a woman-owned small business), and small business partners including HUBZone-certified firms (Murray Benjamin Electric Company LLC, Govsmart Inc.) and woman-owned businesses (Tidewater Marine Electric LLC, Sf&B Inc.). Recent sub-award activity with Prism Maritime Inc. (the prime) spans alteration installation teams providing technical and engineering support for ship combat system modifications aboard USS America (LHA-6), including SSDS system outfitting, HVAC modifications, and electro-optic counter-unmanned systems work. VT Milcom also appears as a subcontractor to Huntington Ingalls Inc. on CVN 75 and CVN 80 carrier overhaul and construction efforts, providing engineering and steel assembly work, and to Torch Technologies Inc. under GSA OASIS SB agreements for software and systems engineering support. The SCI dataset shows minimal sub-engagement across reported prime contracts (0 percent sub-hours share), indicating labor-heavy direct delivery rather than subcontractor-dependent execution on reportable service contracts.

SCI-reportable invoiced revenue totaled $8.9 million across FY2022–FY2025 on prime contracts (a strict subset of federal services activity above the $150,000 threshold), with trajectory accelerating in FY2025 to $3.9 million invoiced on 52.8 FTEs delivered, up from $1.1 million and 3.8 FTEs in FY2024. Median government-paid hourly rates on prime SCI contracts ran around $135/hr, with the 10th percentile at $120/hr and 90th percentile at $142.58/hr, reflecting mid-tier technical and engineering labor. The SCI footprint is small relative to VT Milcom's overall federal revenue scale and does not capture classified work, goods procurement, or the bulk of the vendor's IDIQ task-order activity.
