Hedral Inc.

Hedral Inc., a San Francisco-based self-certified small disadvantaged business and minority-owned (Subcontinent Asian American) firm, operates as a prime contractor delivering AI-driven design and engineering services to the Department of the Air Force and Department of the Navy, competing predominantly under small-business set-asides and the Small Business Innovation Research program.

Hedral's recent award footprint centers on defense civil engineering and structural design modernization through artificial intelligence and machine learning. The vendor holds four prime awards totaling $4.7 million in combined potential value, with $4.1 million obligated (87% of the potential value). Two awards stem from Air Force Research Laboratory SBIR Phase I contracts: a $74,978 firm-fixed-price purchase order (awarded January 13, 2025, completion April 17, 2025) for artificial intelligence supporting adaptive 3D reconstruction in Air Force civil engineering, and a completed $74,520 SBIR Phase I project (awarded May 5, 2023, completion August 7, 2023) on AI and machine learning for structural engineering modernization. A $1.2 million SBIR Phase II research and development contract with Naval Facilities Engineering Command (awarded July 8, 2025, completion April 16, 2027) represents the largest single award. Most recent is a $3.35 million Other Transaction Agreement with the Air Force (DFAS), awarded June 1, 2026 with completion November 30, 2026, for AI-driven design build services at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama; work is performed in San Francisco with a Statement of Work dated May 14, 2026.

Customer concentration is exclusively defense: the Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service anchors the portfolio at $3.4 million, the Navy's Naval Facilities Engineering Command holds $1.2 million, and Air Force Research Laboratory accounts for $149 thousand across two SBIR Phase I awards. Two awards (combined potential value $4.5 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. Hedral operates as a prime on all awards with no subcontract footprint in the source data. All awards carry total small business set-asides or operate under SBIR or OTA frameworks, positioning Hedral as a small-business vehicle rather than a competitive prime under full-and-open solicitation.
