Kpler Inc.

Kpler Inc., a foreign-owned, Cambridge, Massachusetts-based data and analytics firm, delivers maritime vessel tracking, commodity trade intelligence, and real-time energy market data to federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor through firm fixed-price subscription purchase orders and definitive contracts, competing exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside participation.

Kpler's capability portfolio centers on subscription-based web platforms for maritime domain awareness and global energy market analytics. The company's MarineTraffic platform provides automatic identification system data covering 400,000+ vessels daily via terrestrial and satellite receivers, delivering vessel characteristics, ownership, technical manager data, dimensions, and draught. The Kpler Terminal offering supplies commodity flow analytics across 40+ commodities including crude oil, liquefied petroleum gas, liquefied natural gas, and dry bulk, coupled with optional Risk & Compliance bundles for monitoring sanctioned cargo, ship-to-ship transfers, and spoofing activity. Representative prime work includes a $1.9 million definitive contract with the Department of the Treasury's Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence for Kpler Terminal subscription services covering oil, LPG, LNG, and energy-transition emissions reporting through September 2025; a $1.2 million 12-month subscription renewal with Naval Information Warfare Systems Command for automatic identification system data feed access supporting 240 users through September 2027; a $772,979 purchase order from the Office of Specialized Security Activities for global energy market intelligence products and services; and a $662,025 definitive contract with the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control providing Marine Traffic vessel tracking, terminal commodity analytics, and risk-compliance monitoring through August 2029.

Customer concentration tilts toward fiscal and trade agencies. The top five funding entities by potential value account for 82% of recent awards: the Department of the Treasury Departmental Offices (3 awards, $2.8 million combined potential value), the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command ($1.2 million), the Department of Energy Office of International Affairs (2 awards, $1 million), the Office of Specialized Security Activities ($773 thousand), and the Defense Information Systems Agency ($646 thousand). By award count, the Department of State Bureau of Energy Resources leads with 5 awards ($569 thousand combined potential value), followed by Treasury ($2.8 million across 3 awards) and State's Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs (2 awards, $321 thousand). Treasury dominates both volume and dollar rankings, anchoring the majority of Kpler's potential revenue.

Activity has accelerated year over year — two awards in 2022, one in 2023, three in 2024, five in 2025, and eight through mid-2026 — bringing total federal awards to 22 across 14 distinct agencies. Five awards totaling $2.3 million combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure. Kpler holds a single parent vehicle position: one task order under Blanket Purchase Agreement 19AQMM19A0280. The Service Contract Inventory dataset shows minimal SCI-reportable activity for FY2022–FY2024 with $0 invoiced revenue and 0.0 FTEs; FY2025 captures 1.8 FTEs across 2 prime and 3 subcontractor records, reflecting that Kpler's primary federal work flows as subscription-based goods and software licensing rather than labor-intensive service contracts above the $150,000 SCI threshold.

Kpler operates predominantly as a prime (86% of awards, 19 prime vs. 3 sub) with minimal subcontractor footprint. Recent sub work includes maritime analysis tool and subject matter expert support provided to Thomson Reuters Special Services LLC supporting Homeland Security Investigations' Operation National Initiative for Illicit Trade Enforcement Program, data services delivered to Triad National Security LLC for Los Alamos National Laboratory management and operation, and program management support services provided to Deloitte Consulting LLP. The vendor does not employ downstream subcontractors on its own prime engagements; its delivery model relies on direct subscription access and platform licensing to customer agencies rather than staffed services. Kpler has been registered as a SAM.gov vendor since July 2021 and maintains consistent federal competitiveness across energy, international affairs, trade enforcement, and national security customers through its proprietary maritime and commodity data capabilities.
