PCI Government Services LLC leads by a wide margin, with total obligations exceeding $68 million, far outpacing all other small businesses in this category. The next top-performing vendors are Amivero LLC with about $20.8 million, and Pioneer Corporate Services, Inc. with approximately $15.6 million in awarded contracts.
Other notable vendors include INDEV LLC and Active Security Consulting LLC, receiving around $10.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively. The rest of the list consists of vendors awarded between $1 million to $5 million, indicating a more even distribution of smaller contracts among the remaining competitors.

TOP VENDORS with $10M to $50M contracts at DOD
Over the past five years, the Department of Defense (DOD) has awarded a significant number of prime contracts valued between $10 million and $50 million in the Engineering Services sector. This chart highlights the top 20 vendors that have performed consistently within this contract size range, making them strong candidates for teaming partnerships and further federal engagement.
At the top of the list is Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., commanding over $1.2 billion in total action obligations. This staggering figure reflects not only volume but sustained success across multiple mid-size contracts. Close behind are Lockheed Martin Corporation and Peraton Inc., each exceeding $680 million. Their continued presence in mid-tier contracting showcases their capability to deliver complex engineering solutions at scale.
Other major players include Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (in two separate entities), and Serco Inc., all with hundreds of millions in total obligations. These firms exemplify reliability and deep-rooted defense relationships within the DOD’s engineering procurement pipeline.
The middle tier features additional giants such as CACI, BAE Systems, Raytheon Technologies, HII Defense, and The Boeing Company. Each organization reflects specialized capabilities and contract maturity within the $10M–$50M award range—making them especially suited for focused teaming on targeted engineering efforts.
Rounding out the list are firms like Leidos, General Dynamics Information Technology, and even academic and research organizations such as the University of Dayton. Their presence signals that DOD’s engineering services contracts are distributed across a wide array of expertise areas and partner types—not just defense giants, but also institutions with research-driven or niche technical value.

TOP SB VENDORS at DOD over the last five years
This chart highlights the top-performing small business vendor in the Department of Defense (DoD) under the Engineering Services NAICS code, based on total federal action obligations over the past five fiscal years.
The data reveals that E-LABS, INC. (UEI: DGJGHNSM7PG7) stands out as the sole vendor meeting the criteria within this dataset, with total contract obligations amounting to $92,150.00. While this figure is relatively modest, it indicates successful prime contract engagement within the small business category and niche engineering service requirements of the DoD.
The chart parameters exclude contract vehicle awards and focus strictly on direct obligations, offering a clear view of standalone small business performance in this sector.
