SNA International

What SNA International does

SNA International is a privately held federal government contractor founded in October 2002 in Alexandria, Virginia, specializing in applied forensic science, biometrics, identity intelligence, genealogy, and emergency preparedness services for defense, intelligence, homeland security, justice, and energy agencies of the U.S. federal government. The company operates as a prime contractor on multiple Best-In-Class IDIQ contract vehicles — including SHIELD ($151B ceiling), OASIS+, TEPS III, SeaPort-NxG, SITE III, GSA MAS, and SBIR Phase III — serving the Missile Defense Agency, DoD, DHS, DOJ, DOE/NNSA, DIA, NGA, U.S. Army, and U.S. Navy. Its core proprietary platform, DNAConnect®, is a registered-trademark forensic data management solution that connects field law enforcement personnel using Rapid DNA technology with qualified DNA analysts in accredited crime laboratories via automated reach-back support.

SNA generates revenue through task-order awards on its IDIQ contract vehicles, providing technical, engineering, analytical, and programmatic services, supplemented by licensing of its SBIR-derived software platforms. With 251-500 employees and over two decades of experience managing programs with budgets exceeding $100 million, the company maintains a multidisciplinary staff of security-cleared subject matter experts, board-certified forensic scientists, certified genealogists, intelligence analysts, and EOD technicians who deploy worldwide. Notable engagements include Hurricane Katrina family reunification, Rapid DNA deployment for DHS to combat human trafficking, MIA service member repatriation genealogy for the U.S. Army, Guatemalan civil war victim identification, Cyprus UN Committee on Missing Persons work, and Iraqi forensic laboratory establishment.

The company's technology stack is anchored by DNAConnect® and broader SBIR-derived platforms that automate laboratory capacity assessment and reach-back to scientific support centers, with contributions to the FBI's CODIS system and ANSI/NIST-ITL Type-18 DNA record standards. SNA holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and CMMI Level 2 appraisal. Marketing and distribution are exclusively relationship-driven and procurement-channel-based, with all distribution through federal procurement platforms and direct IDIQ task orders rather than commercial channels.

Direct peers

• SAIC: Federal IT and engineering services prime with substantial forensic, biometric, and CBRNE work across DoD, DHS, and DOE. Competes with SNA on SHIELD, OASIS+, SeaPort-NxG, and similar IDIQ vehicles and shares a defense/intelligence customer base.
• Booz Allen Hamilton: Major federal consulting prime with deep biometric, identity, and law-enforcement analytics practices serving DoD, DHS, DOJ, and intelligence agencies. Directly comparable federal footprint, contract-vehicle access, and biometric identity mission space as SNA.
• Battelle Memorial Institute: Nonprofit scientific R&D organization managing national-security science for DOE, NNSA, DHS, and DoD, including CBRNE, forensics, and bioscience. Comparable mission-aligned scientific-services model to SNA, especially on TEPS III and DOE/NNSA work.
• CACI International: Federal services prime focused on intelligence, defense, and homeland security with strong biometric and identity-intelligence capabilities. Competes for the same task orders on SHIELD, SITE III, and OASIS+ vehicles that SNA holds.
• Leidos: Large federal IT and scientific services prime with significant biometric, forensic, and identity-intelligence work for DoD, DHS, DOJ, and intelligence community. SNA competes for adjacent task orders on overlapping OASIS+, SeaPort, and SITE vehicles, and both operate in DNA/biometric modernization programs.
• Noblis: Nonprofit scientific and technical services provider for federal civilian, defense, and intelligence agencies with deep forensic and biometric science work. Comparable size, mission-driven positioning, and customer mix to SNA.

Emerging players

• Analytic Services Inc. (ANSER): Independent, employee-owned federal scientific and analytic services provider supporting DoD, DHS, and intelligence community with homeland-security and identity-related work. Comparable size, mission-driven profile, and federal-customer focus to SNA.
• MITRE Corporation: Federally funded research and development center operating scientific and engineering programs for DoD, DHS, and intelligence agencies. Adjacent mission space with overlapping biometric standards work, but structured as a non-profit FFRDC rather than a for-profit contractor.

Broad incumbents

• Parsons Corporation: Federal engineering and defense services prime with identity, biometrics, and critical-infrastructure protection work for DoD, DHS, and intel community. Larger scale but overlapping technical-services DNA with SNA.
• Amentum: Large federal engineering and technical services prime supporting DoD, intelligence community, and civilian agencies. Broader portfolio than SNA but overlapping on CBRNE, CWMD, and engineering task orders on shared IDIQ vehicles.
