What Federal Data Systems does
Federal Data Systems (operating as FedData Technology Solutions or FDTS) is a privately held Value-Added Reseller, Systems Integrator, and Solutions Provider founded in 2001 and headquartered in Annapolis Junction, Maryland, near Fort Meade. The company serves U.S. federal government agencies across the Intelligence Community, Department of Defense (Army, Air Force, Missile Defense Agency), and federal civilian segment (NASA, NIH), with a 48,000 square-foot warehouse in Annapolis Junction supporting integration, rack-and-stack, and secure supply chain operations. FedData holds small-business prime positions on multiple Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts, including NASA SEWP V and VI, ITES-4H, NIH CIO-CS, and GSA MAS Schedule, plus IDIQ primes on the DoD ABMS program ($950M ceiling) and the Missile Defense Agency SHIELD program ($151B ceiling over 10 years).
Core offerings span Secure Supply Chain Management, Networks & Infrastructure, System Integration, and High-Performance Computing built on Dell, Cisco, NVIDIA, and Intel architectures. FedData's technology portfolio includes proprietary products—OnPremGPT (on-premises generative AI in partnership with NVIDIA), ArmyGPT, the FAR/DFAR chatbot, Discovery Solutions (an OSINT platform aggregating 100+ data sets), the AI-enabled Counter Drone System, a Cyber Digital Twin for Army C2, and the RAVEN mobile cyber platform co-developed with SixGen and Dell. The company also resells Lorica Cybersecurity's quantum-resistant HP-FHE encrypted analytics and collaborates with Intel on government AI accelerator benchmarks.
FedData generates revenue primarily through federal procurement: hardware/software resale, systems integration professional services, lifecycle sustainment and managed services, and emerging recurring AI/HPC subscriptions. Pricing is quote-based through GWAC vehicles offering competitive multi-year contracts (ITES-4H is a 10-year, firm-fixed-price IDIQ). The company is institutionally backed by McNally Capital and Pinecrest Capital Partners (since 2018), employs 51-100 people, and operates with TS/SCI cleared personnel, ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 20243 certifications, and compliance with TAA, NDAA-889, Section 508, and FedRAMP-relevant standards.
