About this award

The U.S. Department of Defense, through the Washington Headquarters Service, awarded an $140,927.77 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to Clarifai, Inc., a McLean, Virginia-based artificial intelligence and computer vision specialist. The contract, awarded on August 28, 2025, with a completion date of February 27, 2026, tasks Clarifai with investigating the feasibility of leveraging generative artificial intelligence to improve the accuracy, speed, and auditability of security classification determinations within the Department of Defense. This contract carries a total small business set-aside designation, supporting the government's commitment to fostering innovation through small business channels.

Clarifai brings substantial relevant experience to this engagement, having previously secured four significant federal contracts totaling approximately $2.14 million, all SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II programs with the Air Force Research Laboratory. The company's established expertise in deep learning, machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing positions it well to address the technical challenges associated with automating and enhancing the classification determination process. This Phase I effort will establish the technical and commercial viability of applying generative AI technologies to a critical DOD administrative function, with the potential to streamline workflow efficiency and strengthen compliance controls across the department's classification infrastructure.
