About Discovery Machine Inc.
Discovery Machine Inc., a women-owned small business based in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, develops artificial intelligence software, intelligent tutoring systems, and adaptive training platforms for Department of Defense customers as a prime contractor (93% of recent awards) competing predominantly under full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside designations. The vendor holds four major contract vehicles anchoring its posture: a $151 billion Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ awarded by the Missile Defense Agency in December 2025, a $4 billion SeaPort Next Generation (SeaPort-NxG) IDC awarded by Naval Sea Systems Command in January 2025, a $900 million Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Architecture and Integration Directorate IDIQ awarded in December 2022, and a Basic Ordering Agreement with Naval Air Warfare Center running through October 2029.
Discovery Machine's customer footprint concentrates on Navy and Air Force training and readiness organizations. By award count, the top five customers account for 63% of recent awards: the Department of the Army (11 awards, $2.7 million combined potential value), the Department of the Navy Office of Naval Research (10 awards, $15 million), Air Education and Training Command (9 awards, $18.8 million), Naval Air Warfare Center (8 awards, $7.1 million), and the Department of the Air Force (5 awards, $64 million). By potential value, the rankings diverge sharply — the Navy's Sea Systems Command and Air Force Life Cycle Management Center anchor the portfolio at $4 billion and $900 million respectively, while the smaller training and readiness orders cluster in the single-digit-million range. The SHIELD and SeaPort-NxG vehicles are largely unexercised (initial $500 placeholder task orders only) and represent forward positioning rather than current revenue.
The vendor's active prime work centers on SBIR Phase II and Phase III awards in AI-enabled training and decision-support systems. Representative contracts include a $2.04 million SBIR Phase II delivery order from Naval Air Warfare Center (awarded December 2024) for AI-driven performance tracking; a $2.84 million SBIR Phase III delivery order from Air Education and Training Command (awarded September 2024) for an AI-driven advisor system identifying training gaps in the Air Force Force Generation cycle; a $2 million SBIR Phase II definitive contract from the Department of the Army (awarded September 2024) for an AI-enabled acquisition requirements package system; a $3.79 million SBIR Phase III delivery order from Air Education and Training Command (awarded September 2023) for the AFFORGEN Virtual Advisor supporting Ready Airmen Training Courses; and a $2.38 million SBIR Phase III delivery order for VIPER software licenses and support (awarded June 2022). Nearly all delivery orders carry Total Small Business set-aside designations. Recent SBIR work includes the SCORPION system (Sensor Coach for Optimizing Remotely Piloted Aircraft Pilots' Intelligent Operational Needs, $1.25 million SBIR Phase II, May 2022) and the Squad Cognitive Instructor intelligent system ($749 thousand SBIR Phase II, September 2021). Work is performed primarily in Williamsport, Pennsylvania and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.
Activity has accelerated — two awards in 2021 to eight in 2025 — but obligated dollars ($49.8 million across $5.02 billion potential value) remain 1% of the potential ceiling, reflecting the early stage of the SHIELD and SeaPort-NxG vehicles and the option-exercise nature of many SBIR completions. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $4 million), posing minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor subcontracts to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on Intelligence Systems Infrastructure, Tools, and Enhancements (INSITE) engineering services, to CAE USA Inc. on Joint Terminal Control Training and Rehearsal System production and sustainment, and to Range Generation Next LLC on launch and test range system integration. Top NAICS categories reflect the portfolio's R&D emphasis: Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (34 awards combined), Software Publishers (7 awards), and Engineering Services (8 awards).
