Green Squirrel Research, LLC

Green Squirrel Research, LLC, a small business based in Madison, Alabama, develops advanced analytical, AI-driven, and video analysis research and development solutions for defense and intelligence agencies exclusively as a prime contractor under total small business set-aside and full-and-open designations. The company operates as a for-profit limited liability corporation competing 100% as prime across all recent awards, with no subcontractor footprint.

Green Squirrel's portfolio spans AI-powered video detection systems, aircraft survivability analytics, manufacturing energy forecasting using large language models, and fire ignition event tracking. The company has delivered a $1.8 million SBIR Phase II contract with the Air Force Research Laboratory for the Modular Document Extraction, Layout, Verification, and Encapsulation (DELVE) Toolkit focused on aircraft survivability analysis—an advancement from a $176,730 Phase I award in July 2024 for an Aircraft Survivability Data Encapsulation and Analytics Tool. A parallel effort included a $1.8 million SBIR Phase II delivery order from AFRL, also awarded in June 2026, for the ADAPT-IGNITE Toolkit supporting high-speed event tracking and ignition risk mapping, which followed a $178,809 Phase I contract issued in September 2024 for fire ignition video analysis development. The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Green Squirrel a $99,949 SBIR Phase I contract in August 2024 for an open-source energy forecasting system using generative AI in discrete manufacturing processes. Most recently, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $248,760 definitive contract in September 2026 for advanced analytical and AI-driven R&D services through May 2027.

Customer concentration centers on the Air Force Research Laboratory, which accounts for four awards and $4 million of the combined potential value. The Missile Defense Agency placed two awards totaling five hundred dollars through the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ contract (ceiling $151 billion, awarded January 2026, performance in Huntsville, Alabama), and DARPA and DLA Headquarters account for one award each. The company holds a single seat on the SHIELD IDIQ with one five-hundred-dollar task order to date.

Activity accelerated in 2026 with four awards year-to-date, up from one in 2025 and three in 2024. Three awards with combined potential value $3.8 million reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure primarily on AFRL SBIR Phase II efforts. All work is classified under NAICS 541711 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and concentrated in National Defense R&D Services, with performance primarily in Madison, Alabama and Huntsville, Alabama.
