Clarity Innovations LLC

Clarity Innovations LLC, doing business as Defense Contracting, delivers advanced software development, DevSecOps, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing services to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards), with a footprint dominated by Air Force work and anchored in two mega-vehicles: a $4 billion Seaport-NXG IDIQ with Naval Sea Systems Command and a $151 billion SHIELD IDIQ with the Missile Defense Agency. The company is a for-profit limited liability corporation based in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, with two named subsidiaries (Gray Digital LLC and Chameleon Consulting Group LLC), and competes predominantly in full-and-open procurement without set-aside designations, though it holds a $100 million SBIR Phase III single-award IDIQ reserved for small business and two delivery orders under Total Small Business vehicles totaling $260.8 million combined ceiling.

Customer concentration in Clarity Innovations' award portfolio tilts sharply toward the Air Force. The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command accounts for 52 awards with $151.9 million combined potential value, dominated by task orders under the $100 million MDAAS SBIR Phase III IDIQ (FA8771-22-D-0002), where 82 task orders carry $63.1 million in combined potential value. The Department of the Air Force broadly accounts for 10 awards worth $1.12 billion (anchored in a $35.5 million definitive contract for continuous integration/continuous development pipeline support for Cloud One awarded to the Electronic Systems Center in September 2023, plus the two small-business set-aside delivery orders to US Special Operations Command and Air Force totaling $260.8 million). The top five Air Force-related agencies cover 71% of awards. By potential value, however, the picture shifts: the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command anchors 97% of combined potential value through the $4 billion Seaport-NXG IDIQ (2 awards), followed by the Department of the Air Force at $1.12 billion, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense at $759 million (a $510 million Joint Data and Analytic Support Services IDIQ awarded January 2026 and a $249 million AI Data Readiness Basic Ordering Agreement). Activity has accelerated year over year — 11 awards in 2022 to 31 in 2024 — with 21 awards (combined potential value $317.9 million) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, signaling near-term recompete exposure.

Clarity Innovations operates as a prime contractor across multiple vehicle types. The $100 million MDAAS SBIR Phase III IDIQ with Air Education and Training Command, awarded September 2022 and running through September 2027, has generated the largest volume of task orders: 82 delivery orders ranging from $2,213 (a browser assessment) to $5.66 million (Task Order 58 Mortal Mint), spanning training systems modernization, digital university infrastructure, artificial intelligence/machine learning, cybersecurity, enterprise application monitoring, and mission-critical software capabilities, with performance concentrated at Maxwell Air Force Base Gun Annex, Alabama. Beyond MDAAS, Clarity Innovations holds the $4 billion Seaport-NXG IDIQ with Naval Sea Systems Command (awarded January 2025, running through January 2029) and the new $151 billion SHIELD (Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense) multiple-award IDIQ with the Missile Defense Agency (awarded December 2025, running through December 2035), structured to support research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, and weapon design across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid defense domains. The $249 million AI Data Readiness BOA with the Office of the Secretary of Defense / Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (awarded March 2022, running through March 2027) covers data science, data engineering, synthetic data generation, and artificial intelligence development support. On the Air Force side, Clarity Innovations holds a $17.6 million Other Transaction IDV with Air Education and Training Command (awarded June 2025) focused on mission planning process consolidation and automation. Task orders under these vehicles span firm-fixed-price, time-and-materials, and hybrid pricing structures.

Concrete representative work illustrates the capability scope. Under MDAAS SBIR III, Clarity Innovations delivered a $4.18 million task order (Task Order 62, March 2025) for Guardian One and US Space Force Portal capabilities; a $4.91 million task order (Task Order 76, September 2025) for the Office of Studies and Analysis Basic Information Technology Support program; a $5.66 million task order (Task Order 58, September 2024) for Mortal Mint, a mission-focused software initiative; and a $4.99 million task order (Task Order 53, August 2024) for Moss AI/ML with Arrakis Data Integration. Outside MDAAS, Clarity Innovations received a $35.5 million definitive contract from the Air Force Electronic Systems Center (September 2023) for continuous integration/continuous development pipeline services supporting Cloud One, with performance at Clearwater, Florida, running through September 2026. The company subcontracts selectively: named sub-award partners include Accenture Federal Services LLC (VBA DGIB support services, February 2026), Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (engineering development, integration, and technology-based solutions, July 2025), Skylight Inc. (Service Design Accelerator, June 2025), and Parsons Government Services Inc. (generic services support, January 2025).

Teaming posture shows a heavily prime-focused organization. Across recent awards, 96% are prime contracts or IDVs; only 4% are subcontract awards. SCI-reportable service-contract data (covering federal service contracts above $150,000 threshold, FY2022–FY2024) shows 13 prime SCI records and 12 subcontractor records, with an average sub-hours share of 12% across prime contracts, indicating that Clarity Innovations primarily builds delivery teams in-house and engages subcontractors for specialized capability infill rather than operating as a feeder to larger primes. Over SCI-reportable prime contracts in FY2022 and FY2023, Clarity Innovations deployed 38 FTEs and 65 FTEs respectively, with government-paid rates ranging from a 10th percentile of $129.04/hr to a median of $145.46/hr and a 90th percentile of $170.38/hr, reflecting a mid-market labor cost posture for federal software development work. The GSA Schedule labor portfolio (42 active categories, $87.39–$254.35/hr) spans systems engineering, user experience engineering, DevOps, data science, cloud IT subject matter experts, and senior software developer roles at bachelor's degree level or equivalent technical certification, with no security-cleared positions offered, consistent with the vendor's unclassified civilian and defense IT modernization focus.

The vendor's award footprint is narrowly concentrated in NAICS 541512 (Custom Computer Programming Services), which accounts for 94 of 114 awards, with 10 awards under R&D in physical/engineering/life sciences (SBIR Phase III research actions), 3 under computer systems design, 2 under engineering services, and 2 under administrative management consulting. Primary Service Classification Code work is IT and Telecom business application/application development support labor (89 awards), followed by defense R&D services (4 awards) and SaaS application development (3 awards). Obligated dollars represent only 5% of combined potential value ($298.2 million obligated on $6.32 billion combined potential ceiling), typical of IDIQs and other indefinite delivery vehicles where task order funding lags the underlying contract ceilings by design.
