About Carbon 9 Defense LLC
Carbon 9 Defense LLC, a Maryland-based limited liability company, operates as a subcontractor delivering commercial IT hardware, software licensing, and COTS solutions to defense and federal customers, with 96% of its recent awards flowing through prime contractors rather than direct federal prime contracts. The company holds a Total Small Business set-aside on its single largest prime award—a $15.7 million firm fixed-price Splunk software licensing contract with U.S. Cyber Command running through January 2029—but conducts the bulk of its federal work as a subcontractor under Alliant II, a GSA GWAC for IT products and services.
Carbon 9's customer base concentrates heavily on defense logistics and cybersecurity operations. The Air Force Air Combat Command accounts for 24 of the company's 53 subcontract awards, and the Defense Finance and Accounting Service accounts for 22, together representing the vast majority of task-order volume across Alliant II. The Department of Defense Cyber Command, though representing only one prime award, anchors 97% of the company's combined potential value at $15.7 million. The Air Force Air Mobility Command placed a secondary order in September 2025 for NetApp storage equipment valued at $399,958, with no set-aside applied. Five awards route through the Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. The portfolio's combined potential value stands at $16.1 million, but obligated dollars total $56.1 million—indicating that task orders against Alliant II and the Cyber Command prime are executing at volumes well above initial potential-value ceilings.
Carbon 9's recent activity shows acute concentration on two prime integrators. CACI, Inc. – Federal accounts for roughly 30 of the subcontract awards, covering software licensing, hardware procurement, IT infrastructure equipment, maintenance and warranty services, and professional services labor under the CDM Defend Group A Bridge task order and Enterprise Level IT Expertise Elite programs. Salient CRGT, Inc. accounts for roughly 20 of the subcontract awards, all tied to incremental funding modifications on the MAVERICK task order (Prime Award 47QFCA24F0020). Booz Allen Hamilton and M.C. Dean round out the prime teaming landscape. The company's award performance categories concentrate on Computer Systems Design Services (52 awards) and related wholesale and commercial software distribution (3 awards), with one sub-award for background investigation fieldwork services—the latter likely incidental to a larger IT delivery vehicle.
All 56 awards fall within a fourteen-month window (March 2025 through May 2026), reflecting rapid market entry. Forty-nine percent of awards arrived in 2025; nineteen in 2026 through May. The company registered with SAM in April 2023, suggesting a startup posture that has accelerated Federal sales through Alliant II subcontracting and a single Title Small Business prime contract with USSF Cyber Command. The firm's revenue model routes 96% through task orders on established COTS and software licensing vehicles, not through full-and-open or set-aside competitive solicitations.
