What Softconcept does

SoftConcept, Inc. is a privately held, Certified Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) founded in 1999 and headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia. The company delivers IT services to U.S. Federal Government clients across the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Commerce, Department of Transportation, and independent agencies such as the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. Its service portfolio spans IT infrastructure support, Information Assurance and Certification & Accreditation, web-based technology, enterprise architecture, network analysis, program management, and software development.

The company's only commercial product is SeeNet™, a near real-time web-enabled network and system performance monitoring software that provides graphical visualization of network topology, utilization, availability, packet-level traffic (including top talkers, protocols, IP pairs, and multicast), and server performance metrics (CPU, memory, disk, processes, services). SeeNet uses Cisco NetFlow for traffic analysis, stores data in relational databases, exports via SOAP/XML or Java Servlets, and integrates with OPNET VNE Server for what-if modeling.

SoftConcept generates revenue through professional services contracts under government acquisition vehicles. It holds prime positions on GSA 8(a) STARS II and ITES-2S, and operates as a subcontractor or team member on DHS IESS (Booz Allen Hamilton), DHS ICATTS, DISA DESS, Army R2-3G, and WMATA vehicles. The company is debt-free, maintains a 90% employee retention rate, and reports consistent highest Contractor Performance Assessment Report System (CPARS) ratings. Strategic teaming relationships with Battelle, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, SAIC, CACI, Booz Allen Hamilton, and Lunarline provide additional contract surface across classified and civilian federal work.

Broad incumbents

• Booz Allen Hamilton: Top-tier federal IT services and consulting prime with deep DoD/DHS/intel footprint. SoftConcept is a subcontractor to Booz Allen on the DHS IESS IDIQ, and is comparable as a federal IT services provider serving the same agency customers.
• SAIC: Large federal IT and engineering services prime, especially in defense, intel and DHS. SoftConcept partnered with SAIC on Military Sealift Command C&A and DHS Cyber Security IDIQ, making it a directly overlapping competitor and teammate in federal IA/IT services.
• CACI International: Federal IT services and C4ISR prime with strong DoD and intel presence. SoftConcept is a subcontractor to CACI on Army CERDEC network analysis, making it a directly comparable provider of network analysis and IT services to the same DoD customer set.
• Lockheed Martin (IT & Cyber Solutions): Major federal prime with significant IT, cyber and defense services. SoftConcept has teamed with Lockheed on U.S. Army, DTRA and DISA work, so it competes for similar federal IT services scope, albeit at very different scale.
• ManTech International: Federal IT and cybersecurity services contractor focused on DoD, intelligence community and DHS. Comparable in customer base (DoD/intelligence agencies) and service mix (IA, network analysis, mission IT support) to SoftConcept.
• Vencore / Perspecta (now part of Peraton): Federal IT services and intelligence analysis prime (Peraton is the successor to Vencore and Perspecta). Directly comparable in delivering intelligence analysis, IT services and mission support to IC and DoD agencies, similar to SoftConcept's DIA/NMIC and DHS work.

Direct peers

• Information Innovators Inc. (III): Small/medium federal IT services and information assurance contractor with strong DoD and intelligence community presence. Highly comparable as a smaller-scale SDB-style player offering IA, network and enterprise IT services to the same agency types as SoftConcept.
• Applied Information Sciences (AIS): Mid-sized federal IT and cloud/data services contractor serving DoD and civilian agencies. Comparable as a similar-sized federal IT services firm offering enterprise architecture, software development and cloud modernization to agencies.
