A NASA SEWP slot, set aside for a veteran-owned small business
Four Points Technology, L.L.C. holds prime contract positions on both NASA SEWP IV (PIID NNG15SC74B) and NASA SEWP V (PIID NNG15SD22B) — governmentwide acquisition contracts (GWACs) used across the federal government to buy IT hardware, software, and cloud services. The company's largest individual order to date, a VA delivery order worth $486,505,147.49 with a ceiling of $521,500,073.52, was placed against the SEWP V vehicle on August 2, 2022.
That largest order's description in the federal record is unambiguous: "Enterprise Cloud Capacity — Amazon Web Services." It was coded as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Aside (SDVOSBC), competed under SEWP V's "Fair Opportunity" process, and drew exactly two offers.
USASpending and NITAAC records list Four Points Technology, L.L.C. at 13221 Woodland Park Rd, Suite 400, Herndon, VA 20171, registered under UEI H1KHJPJH9R51 (DUNS 089896737). Its business categories include Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business, Veteran-Owned Business, Small Business, and U.S.-Owned Business. NITAAC's CIO-CS contract-holder listing classifies the company's business type plainly as a "Value Added Reseller (VAR)" — an explicit acknowledgment that its core function is reselling third-party products and licenses.
$6.94 billion in award obligations, concentrated at the VA
Summing award-level obligations by awarding agency across all federal prime contracts on record (FY2008–FY2026), Four Points' footprint spans at least 15 agencies — but the distribution is heavily lopsided. The Department of Veterans Affairs alone accounts for roughly $3.34 billion, or about 48% of the $6.94 billion total. DHS ($908M), DoD ($713M), HHS ($394M), and SSA ($360M) make up most of the next tier, with the long tail running down to agencies like the Government Accountability Office ($58.8M).
USASpending's recipient profile page reports a narrower figure — $995.6 million across 1,685 transactions — and the company-overview dashboard card shows a third figure, roughly $2.05 billion. All three numbers come from the same underlying USASpending data; they differ because each reflects a different aggregation window (life-to-date award ceilings vs. transaction-level totals vs. a dashboard's own filtered snapshot). Whichever figure is used, Four Points sits among the larger SDVOSB-flagged IT resellers in the federal marketplace, built on top of two SEWP GWAC awards plus a scattering of agency-specific IDVs and BPAs.
The top 15 orders, dominated by AWS and InterSystems
Looking at Four Points' largest individual delivery and task orders — together worth roughly $2.16 billion — the pattern is concentrated around two products. These are not custom development contracts or staff-augmentation task orders. They are cloud capacity from a single hyperscaler and database licensing/maintenance from a single enterprise software vendor, repeated across more than a dozen agencies.
| Order Description | Vendor / Product | Amount |

| Enterprise Cloud Capacity (VA, PIID 36C10B22F0207) | Amazon Web Services | $486,505,147 |
| Cache Maintenance & Software Licenses (VA, PIID VA11813F0018) | InterSystems Caché | $303,561,212 |
| Cloud Services — IaaS/PaaS/SaaS Reseller (VA, PIID VA11817F2284) | Cloud reseller (unspecified CSP) | $236,665,957 |
| Cache Licensing & Maintenance, Option Year 2 (VA, PIID V0010A116E05112) | InterSystems Caché | $188,769,089 |
| Amazon Web Services for CBP (DHS, PIID 70B04C24F00000413) | Amazon Web Services | $177,895,814 |
| AWS Connect for Contact Center as a Service (SSA, PIID 28321324FA0010214) | Amazon Web Services | $150,377,391 |
| Enterprise-Wide Cloud Services Solution (NASA, PIID 80TECH24FA015) | Cloud services (likely AWS) | $105,005,250 |
| Amazon Web Services Enterprise Solution (NASA, PIID 80ARC018F0055) | Amazon Web Services | $92,967,913 |
| Procure Amazon Web Services (DHS, PIID 70B04C23F00000007) | Amazon Web Services | $83,172,707 |
| WC2 AWS & Brand-Name Software Buy (Treasury, PIID 2032H521F00059) | Amazon Web Services | $82,701,008 |
| Procure AWS on DOT Enterprise Basis (DOT, PIID 693JJ319F000101) | Amazon Web Services | $53,233,792 |
| CISA OCIO AWS Cloud Hosting (DHS, PIID 70RCSJ25FR0000031) | Amazon Web Services | $52,100,000 |
| Cache/Ensemble/HealthShare Licenses & Support (HHS, PIID 75N98121F00001) | InterSystems | $49,737,187 |
| Reinstate SUTA Cache Enterprise for OVMS (DoD, PIID N6523616F0203) | InterSystems Caché | $48,606,616 |
| Cloud Services Option Year 4 (SSA, PIID 28321325FA0010110) | Cloud services (likely AWS) | $48,358,000 |
| Top 15 orders shown | ~$2.16B | |
Of the top 15 orders, at least 9 explicitly say "Amazon Web Services" in their description, and 4 more are InterSystems Caché/Ensemble/HealthShare licensing and maintenance. Together, AWS and InterSystems account for roughly 13 of the top 15 orders by description. These are commercial cloud and database products that agencies could, in principle, procure through any number of resellers holding the appropriate GWAC or schedule contracts. The federal record raises the same question it raised for other SDVOSB-heavy SEWP holders: not whether agencies need AWS or InterSystems — clearly they do — but why billions of dollars in commercial cloud and software spending routes through a contract vehicle whose set-aside slots are reserved for small businesses owned by service-disabled veterans.
Two offers, $486.5 million — and several orders with just one
Federal Acquisition Regulation transaction data includes a field for "number of offers received" — how many companies actually competed for each order. For Four Points' largest individual orders, that number is frequently in the single digits, and on several of the company's largest awards, it's one or two.
| Order | Offers Received | Set-Aside | Awarded |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enterprise Cloud Capacity / AWS (36C10B22F0207) | 2 | SDVOSB | $486,505,147 |
| InterSystems Caché Maintenance (VA11813F0018) | 1 | None | $303,561,212 |
| Cloud Services Reseller (VA11817F2284) | 3 | SDVOSB | $236,665,957 |
| Cache Licensing OY2 (V0010A116E05112) | 1 | SDVOSB | $188,769,089 |
| CISA AWS Cloud Hosting (70RCSJ25FR0000031) | 1 | None | $52,100,000 |
| Cache/Ensemble/HealthShare (75N98121F00001) | 1 | None | $49,737,187 |
What "1 offer received" means in this context: the $303.6 million InterSystems Caché maintenance order and the $188.8 million Caché licensing option year were both awarded after exactly one company submitted a bid — Four Points itself. The $52.1 million CISA AWS order and the $49.7 million HHS InterSystems order followed the same pattern. Single-offer awards are permitted under federal acquisition rules, particularly for brand-name software or cloud capacity where the manufacturer or an authorized reseller may be the only realistic source. But it also means that for hundreds of millions of dollars in federal spending, there was no price competition determining the government's cost — only Four Points' markup over whatever Amazon or InterSystems charges its reseller partners.
Even where competition existed, it was often restricted by design: the $486.5 million AWS order and the $236.7 million cloud-reseller order were both coded as SDVOSB set-asides at the order level, meaning the pool of eligible bidders was limited to other SDVOSB-certified firms holding the same SEWP vehicle — a pool that is, almost by definition, small relative to the broader cloud-reseller market.
What the data shows — and what it doesn't
What's established by the record: Four Points Technology, L.L.C. is a self-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business holding SDVOSB-set-aside slots on NASA's SEWP IV and V GWACs, classified by NITAAC itself as a "Value Added Reseller." Across roughly $6.94 billion in lifetime award obligations and 16,277 contract actions, the company's largest individual orders are heavily concentrated in two products — AWS cloud capacity and InterSystems database licensing — not custom development or technical labor. At least four of its top 15 orders, worth a combined $594.1 million, were awarded after exactly one offer was received.
What we are not claiming: there is nothing in this record that establishes Four Points did anything outside the rules governing SDVOSB set-asides or SEWP ordering procedures. Single-offer awards for brand-name cloud and software products are common across federal IT contracting generally, not unique to SDVOSB vehicles. We also don't know Four Points' actual margin, headcount, or what services — beyond reselling and "support" — it provides on these orders. Two other companies, CAN Softtech Inc. and Occam Solutions, Inc., are registered at the same Herndon, VA address and separately hold sizeable federal contracts; shared address is a verifiable fact in the federal record, but on its own does not establish common ownership or any improper relationship. What the data does establish is a pattern worth scrutiny: a contracting mechanism designed to direct federal dollars toward small businesses owned by disabled veterans has, in dollar terms, become dominated by pass-through purchases of cloud capacity and database software from two of the world's largest technology vendors.
A small-business program, scaled to hyperscaler-sized cloud deals
SDVOSB set-asides exist to direct a meaningful share of federal contracting dollars toward small businesses owned by veterans with service-connected disabilities — a policy goal with broad bipartisan support. Four Points Technology's position on NASA SEWP IV and V is, on paper, exactly that kind of award. But the dollar figures involved — a $521.5 million single-order ceiling, $6.94 billion in aggregate award obligations, 16,277 contract actions — sit uneasily next to the "small business" framing, and the product mix (Amazon Web Services, InterSystems) raises the question of whether these are purchases that genuinely require, or benefit from, a small-business set-aside structure at all.
A Herndon, Virginia-based SDVOSB classified by NITAAC as a "Value Added Reseller" now sits at the center of roughly $3.34 billion in VA IT spending alone, with its single largest order — $486.5 million for Amazon Web Services capacity — awarded under an SDVOSB set-aside after just two bids, and its second-largest — $303.6 million for InterSystems database licensing — awarded after just one. Whether this represents the SDVOSB program working as intended, or a structural mismatch between a small-business preference and hyperscaler-scale cloud procurement, is a question the underlying data raises but cannot answer on its own.
