361 Interactive LLC

361 Interactive LLC, a Dayton, Ohio-based small business limited liability company, provides advanced software development, data visualization, and defense research and development services primarily to the Air Force Research Laboratory as a prime contractor (37% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor under Applied Research Solutions, Inc. (63% of recent awards). The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-asides across SBIR Phase I and Phase II programs and definitive contracts with the Department of Defense.

361 Interactive's customer footprint is heavily concentrated in Air Force research and development. The top five customer agencies account for 99% of recent awards, with the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory dominating at 62 awards and $9.4 million combined potential value. The Department of the Air Force placed a recent $7.9 million definitive contract (awarded April 24, 2026, running through October 24, 2031) for Enhanced AFTR Integration, Learning, and Experimentation (EAGLE), supporting advanced integration and visualization capabilities for the Animation Framework for Teaming Research project. The Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research, the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency round out the active customer set. Prime work clusters around SBIR Phase II contracts — a $1.7 million firm fixed-price award (March 28, 2025, completing June 28, 2027) for the Animation Framework for Teaming Research (AFTR) project and a $1.8 million Total Small Business set-aside (September 29, 2023, completing January 31, 2026) for Battle Damage Assessment Manager technologies. An earlier $150 thousand SBIR Phase I contract (July 17, 2023) supported CHART2 data visualization for Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) environments.

Activity trajectory shows volatility across the past five years — seven awards in 2022 declining to two in 2023, then spiking to eighteen in 2024 before moderating to eight in 2025 and two in 2026 year-to-date. Only one award (combined potential value $1.7 million) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting immediate recompete exposure. The vendor's subcontractor role sits almost entirely under Applied Research Solutions, Inc., delivering R&D services on the Mission Autonomy for Air and Space Systems (MASS) and Sensing, Learning, Autonomy, and Knowledge Engineering (SLAKE) programs since 2022. The vendor's category concentration spans research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences (56 awards across relevant NAICS codes) with secondary work in social sciences and biotechnology research. 361 Interactive has held SAM.gov registration since 2005 and demonstrates sustained engagement with Air Force innovation priorities in software engineering, sensing technologies, visualization, and autonomous systems development.
