About the company
Air Protein, Inc., a San Leandro, California–based subsidiary of Kiverdi, Inc. (a self-certified small disadvantaged business), operates as a subcontractor on DARPA food-science research programs and holds a single prime contract with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency for technology transition under the Embedded Entrepreneur Initiative. The vendor's federal footprint is nascent, spanning three awards since mid-2023 with combined potential value of $310 thousand, though reported obligated dollars of $5.4 million suggest substantially higher invoiced activity than the contract ceilings reflect.
Air Protein's work centers on food synthesis and formulation technologies for military logistics. As a subcontractor to Sri International, the vendor executed two task orders under the Food From Air for Distributed Rations (FADR) program — one in June 2023 for food formulation work and a second in November 2024 adding human subject testing scope. As prime, Air Protein received a $310 thousand Firm Fixed Price contract from DARPA in April 2025 (ultimate completion April 2026) under the Commercial Solutions Opening for the Embedded Entrepreneur Initiative, tasked with transitioning commercial food-science capabilities into military applications.
DARPA represents the entirety of Air Protein's recent federal customer base — three awards, 100% of volume and potential value. The vendor operates within its parent company's self-certified small disadvantaged business posture but does not hold independent SBA certifications. Work is categorized across Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (two awards) and Food Manufacturing (one award), with primary exposure routed through DARPA's innovation and rapid-transition programs rather than through traditional defense procurement vehicles. The gap between potential value ($310 thousand) and obligated dollars ($5.4 million) signals either substantial task-order expansion on the FADR sub-awards or invoice activity substantially exceeding contract ceiling projections.
