Cognitive Performance Group Of Florida, LLC

Cognitive Performance Group Of Florida, LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Portsmouth, Virginia, delivers human factors research, instructional design, adaptive training development, and performance assessment services to the Department of the Navy and the Department of the Army as a prime contractor (71% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin on Marine training modernization programs. The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open, with no set-aside designations on its largest prime awards, though two Total Small Business set-aside contracts from the Office of Naval Research underscore eligibility across procurement channels.

Cognitive Performance Group's customer concentration is heavily anchored to the Department of the Navy. The Office of Naval Research accounts for 23 awards and $29.7 million of the $40.3 million combined potential value across the vendor's prime and sub footprint (91% coverage across the top five customers). The Naval Air Warfare Center and Marine Corps Intelligence Schools each hold secondary positions. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service Federal Supply Schedule contract ($5.5 million ceiling, awarded December 2021, running through December 2026) represents the second-largest funding source by potential value, serving as a multi-agency ordering vehicle for research analysis and training consulting. Navy and Marine Corps work dominates both award count and dollar volume; Army exposure is limited to a single $749 thousand prime contract on communications training for noncommissioned officers from Army Research, Development and Engineering Command.

Representative prime capability work spans cognitive assessment methodology, talent development, and military training optimization. Cognitive Performance Group holds a $5.549 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract from ONR for the Solutions for Talent Assessment and Development (STAND) program (awarded December 2022, completing January 2027) focused on talent assessment and development research. A $5.483 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for Solutions for Cognitive Assessments and Learning Environments (SCALE, awarded July 2021, completing September 2026) supports Navy cognitive performance and learning environment optimization. The Office of Naval Research awarded a $8.598 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract on March 30, 2026, for the Cognition Optimization, Measurement, Performance Assessment, and Support Systems (COMPASS) program (completing March 2027) under the rolling-basis BAA posted October 1, 2024. A $749 thousand contract from ONR (awarded March 2025, completing March 2027) funds adaptive instruction research and development for the Marine Corps Basic Geographic Intelligence Specialist course, with work performed in Virginia Beach.

The GSA Multiple Award Schedule labor portfolio spans 17 categories, with hourly rates from $61.53 (Research Assistant, bachelor's, entry-level, security-cleared) to $160.82 (Program Manager/Principal Investigator, master's, 10 years' experience, security-cleared). Mid-spectrum roles include Scientist II positions ($87.59/hr, master's, 5 years, cleared) and Lead Instructional System Designer ($110.27/hr, PhD, 5 years, no clearance required). The vendor also offers one-to-five-day training courses in performance enhancement and decision-making with quantity discounts; services are available nationwide and worldwide.

Cognitive Performance Group subcontracts to Lockheed Martin across multiple Marine training modernization initiatives. Recent sub awards (2022–2025) include work on the Next-Generation Expeditionary Training Technologies (NEXTT) program, the Streamlined Marine After-Action Review Tool Visualization (SMART-VIZ), the Applied Research for Infantry Training Enhancement (ARITE), and Marine Advanced Research for Battalion Learning and Experimentation (MARBLE), with a February 2025 funding increment of $1.055 million to NEXTT. A single $236 thousand sub-award on a Clinical Decision Support task came from Cognitive Medical Systems, Inc. in October 2022.

Activity has accelerated in the past two years — two awards in 2022, one in 2023, seven in 2024, three in 2025, and two in 2026 — with six awards (combined potential value $22.4 million) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and facing recompete. Primary NAICS concentration sits with NAICS 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and related life-sciences R&D codes, with applied-research and experimental-development PSC codes reflecting the Navy's technology readiness and human factors emphasis.
