Gladstone.ai, Inc.

Gladstone.ai, Inc., a for-profit company based in Alexandria, Virginia, supplies artificial intelligence solutions and training services to the U.S. Air Force as a prime contractor under full-and-open competition, with no set-aside designations across its recent portfolio except for one total small business set-aside award. The vendor operates as a parent entity with one named subsidiary, Gladstone AI USA, Inc.

Gladstone.ai's capability portfolio centers on AI-enabled flight test modernization and AI video-based training tools for defense applications. Representative work includes a $4.999 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract with Air Force Materiel Command (awarded June 21, 2025, completion June 20, 2028) for Flight Test Modernization Using Artificial Intelligence, which has generated two delivery orders to date: a $570 thousand firm fixed-price order (June 2025, completion June 2026) and a $150 thousand firm fixed-price order (February 2026, completion August 2026), both performed at Edwards Air Force Base, California. A second capability stream is AI video-based training; Gladstone.ai holds a $716 thousand total small business set-aside definitive contract with Air Combat Command (awarded February 14, 2024, completion February 13, 2027) to provide Gladstone Artificial Intelligence Video-Based Tools and Lessons, performed in Hampton, Virginia. The GovTribe summary notes prior work on Foundations of Artificial Intelligence Training Modules with Air Combat Command valued at $1.524 million, suggesting sustained training-module delivery across Air Force commands.

Customer concentration is entirely Air Force-internal. Air Force Materiel Command accounts for 2 awards and $5.6 million combined potential value; Air Combat Command and the broader Department of the Air Force account for the remaining $866 thousand across two awards. All four awards are recent, spanning February 2024 through February 2026, with no subcontract footprint — the vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor. Two awards (combined potential value $866 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete exposure. Activity has been modest and episodic: one award in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026, with $1.4 million obligated against $6.4 million combined potential value to date (22% obligation rate). The single parent vehicle is an Air Force Materiel Command indefinite-delivery contract carrying a $4.999 million ceiling, under which two task orders have been placed.
