Atmo, Inc.

Atmo, Inc., doing business as Atmo, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business delivering artificial intelligence-driven weather forecasting and meteorological modeling systems to defense agencies as a prime contractor exclusively; the vendor operates from San Francisco, California and competes under total small business set-asides across its federal footprint. All seven awards (100% of recent prime work) are set-aside contracts, with the exception of a single full-and-open award from Air Force Space Command in 2024.

Atmo's capability portfolio centers on AI-based hyperlocal weather prediction, military-grade dispersion modeling, and computational meteorology tailored for defense operations. Representative work includes a $5.99 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract awarded by the Office of Naval Research on February 10, 2026 for advanced weather prediction research and development running through December 2030; a $1.48 million Small Business Innovation Research Phase II contract from the Air Force awarded September 30, 2025 for AI-based forecasting technology (NIMBUS EDGE AI FORECASTING) with completion targeted for September 2026; and a $2.95 million Air Force Research Laboratory classified purchase order for AI weather forecasting supporting U.S. Air Force operations, awarded July 28, 2025 and completing November 27, 2026. Earlier SBIR work includes a $1.99 million AFRL Phase II contract for an AI-based weather forecasting system (awarded August 2023, completed March 2025) and supporting Phase I awards from ONR and AFRL.

Customer concentration sits entirely within defense. The Office of Naval Research and the Air Force Research Laboratory together account for $11.2 million of the $13.1 million combined potential value across seven awards (86% of total). ONR holds two awards ($6.2 million combined), AFRL holds three awards ($5 million combined), the Air Force holds one award ($1.5 million), and Air Force Space Command holds one award ($339 thousand). The vendor has not placed work on government-wide vehicles or agency IDIQs; all awards are definitive contracts or purchase orders issued directly by the funding agency. Activity has remained modest but consistent — one award in 2022 and 2023, two per year in 2024 and 2025, and one so far in 2026. One award ($2.9 million from AFRL) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore presents a near-term recompete opportunity. Atmo has no subcontract footprint in the source data and operates exclusively as a prime. The vendor's federal engagement is entirely research and development focused, with six of seven awards falling under NAICS 541711 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and carrying defense R&D or applied research PSC codes.
