Drivendata, LLC

Drivendata, LLC, a Denver-based for-profit limited liability company, operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering crowdsourcing platforms, data science competitions, and open innovation services to NASA, with no subcontract footprint and no SBA set-aside designations across its federal work. The vendor holds a seat on NASA's Open Innovation Services 3 (NOIS3) multiple-award GWAC ($474.988 million ceiling, effective through May 31, 2027) and has executed task orders under the earlier NASA Open Innovation Services 2 (NOIS2) vehicle through 2023–2024. Drivendata operates with full-and-open competitive posture and does not pursue or hold set-aside certifications.

Customer concentration is absolute. NASA's Johnson Space Center accounts for 26 of 27 awards spanning the past five years, representing the entire $657.2 million in combined potential value documented in recent activity. A single National Science Foundation award rounds out the portfolio but carries no dollar value in the source. The vendor's 27 awards (100% prime, zero sub) distribute across two parent vehicles: 18 task orders under NOIS2 carrying $5.4 million combined potential value, and 6 task orders under NOIS3 carrying $1.8 million combined potential value. The NOIS3 GWAC award itself, issued June 5, 2025, represents the largest single vehicle position and anchors forward capacity.

Drivendata's capability portfolio centers on machine learning benchmarking, challenge competition design, and crowdsourced algorithmic solution development. Recent representative task orders include a $560,000 September 2026 delivery order for data science competition platform design supporting astronaut health and space crop research (completion June 30, 2028), a $250,000 September 2026 order for the ARPA-H Rapid Sequential Diagnosis Challenge (completion January 31, 2028), a $573,250 September 2025 order for Real-Time Executive for Multiprocessor Systems (RTEMS) security campaign supporting High Performance Spaceflight Computing (completion October 15, 2027), and a $726,850 May 2023 order for machine learning algorithms for early Alzheimer's disease prediction (completion March 31, 2026). Earlier NOIS2 work includes a $750,000 Water Supply Forecast Rodeo crowdsourcing competition (2023) and a $519,500 external crowdsourcing delivery order (June 2022–June 2023). All work is performed in Denver, Colorado. Obligated dollars across the portfolio total $7.5 million (1% of potential value), indicating many awards remain in early execution or pending funding.

Activity has remained episodic: four awards in 2022, six in 2023, one in 2024, three in 2025, and four in 2026. Five awards (combined potential value $1.8 million) carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will face recompete. The vendor's category concentration is NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), with 26 of 27 awards coded to that classification and supporting NAICS PSC codes weighted toward 540 (Support-Professional: Other). The NOIS3 GWAC carries a $19.5 million small business size standard, placing Drivendata in the small-business category under that vehicle despite its LLC structure and unspecified headcount.

Work with mission-driven clients to take advantage of capabilities in data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence for their most pressing challenges. We do this through direct consulting or by running open online competitions where data scientists around the world compete to build the best algorithm for questions that matter to the world.
