Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • NAVSEA Seaport Enhanced estimates $3.5 billion over 15 years, awarded March 2026.
  • CBP plans a Q4 FY2026 follow-on for Aircraft Sensors Technical Support Services.
  • SRC won a December 19, 2025 Navy TCIO delivery order worth $16.1 million.

What critics are saying

  • SRC relies heavily on Navy and CBP contracts; one recompete loss hits revenue fast.
  • GSA MAS contract 47QRAA21D0085 expires July 20, 2026, forcing renewal risk.
  • If CBP 70B02C21F00001249 or Seaport work shifts away, SRC loses core scale.

What makes Scientific Research Corporation unique

  • SRC won NAVSEA Seaport Enhanced primes in all seven competed zones in 2026.
  • SRC spans C4I, cyber, aircraft sensors, and classified logistics across Navy and CBP.
  • SRC’s current federal vehicle access includes GSA MAS and OASIS Unrestricted primes.
