What Sabel Systems Technology Solutions does

Sabel Systems Technology Solutions is a Beavercreek, Ohio-based digital engineering firm founded in 2001 that builds and deploys software platforms and services for the U.S. Department of Defense. The company operates across all six military branches — Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Space Force — and works with defense primes including Lockheed Martin, Leidos, Parsons, and SciTec. Its technology stack centers on 97Helix, a modular digital engineering ecosystem unified through nimbusCORE (infrastructure orchestration), connectCORE (PLM/MBSE/CAE integration), dataCORE (data unification and AI), and collabCORE (collaboration), with dedicated products including Spacestation (Space Force digital engineering at IL5/IL6/TS-SCI), TDPWerx (automated Technical Data Package validation), and Code Foundry (DevSecOps with SIL/HIL).

Sabel's business model combines government services revenue with a growing productized platform offering. The company holds or has access to major IDIQ and OTA vehicles including MDA SHIELD ($151B ceiling), EWAAC ($46B), GSA Assisted Acquisition ($515M), USAF LCMC Architecture & Integration ($900M), and Army Contracting Command OTA, with named multi-year deployments at AF-PLM (24 program offices, 1,000+ users), Army ePDM (PTC Windchill, $20M+ five-year), and P3 (200+ USAF organizations, 3,000+ users). Pricing is quote-based with subscription and multi-year enterprise licensing; the company sells directly through field sales targeting program offices and acquisition leadership, supplemented by inside sales and event-driven demand generation at conferences such as Space Symposium and Spacepower Conference. Strategic technology partnerships with Siemens, PTC, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Appian, and EdgeTI extend distribution and embed Sabel capabilities within prime contractor and government toolchains.

Following Sagewind Capital's majority investment in October 2024, the company has professionalized leadership (new CEO Shawn Purvis in March 2025, new CGO, CTO, CPO), acquired Centil in January 2026, formed Sabel Digital Labs in August 2025, and formally launched 97Helix in June 2026. The company remains privately held under Sagewind's majority ownership, operates from 37 states with engineering presence in Beavercreek, Colorado Springs, and Boulder, and reports 101–250 employees.

Core offering

Sabel Systems Technology Solutions is a digital engineering firm that builds and licenses proprietary platforms (97Helix, Spacestation, TDPWerx, Code Foundry, nimbusCORE) and delivers professional engineering services to the U.S. Department of Defense and defense primes. The platforms operationalize Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), digital twins, digital thread, DevSecOps, and secure cloud orchestration across IL2–IL6/TS-SCI environments, complemented by systems integration, PLM implementation, and advanced engineering services.

Product overview

Sabel Systems Technology Solutions is a digital engineering enterprise offering a platform-plus-modules architecture built around its flagship digital engineering ecosystem. The portfolio centers on 97Helix, a hyperscaling platform that unifies disconnected toolchains through four integrated modules (nimbusCORE for infrastructure orchestration, collabCORE for collaboration, dataCORE for data/AI, and connectCORE for integration) all accessible via a single pane of glass. The platform is proven in Spacestation for Space Force programs and aligned to DoDI 5000.97. Supporting products include TDPWerx for automated TDP verification and validation, Code Foundry for end-to-end DevSecOps with SIL/HIL architectures, and nimbusCORE as a standalone cloud orchestration platform. These are backed by four core service capabilities: Digital Lifecycle Solutions, Digital Mission Engineering & Operations, Digital Engineering Ecosystem Platform, and Advanced Engineering Services. The company also offers specialized offerings such as Digital Acquisition Environment (DAE), Digital Engineering Cloud (DEC), and Connected Operations Environment (SCOPE). Following the January 2026 acquisition of Centil, Sabel expanded its DevSecOps and space-domain engineering capabilities. Founded in 2001, the company primarily serves the Department of Defense including Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Space Force.
