About the company
Technology Advancement Center, Inc., operating under the doing-business-as name Maryland Innovation & Security Institute Inc., is a nonprofit organization based in Columbia, Maryland that provides cybersecurity training, STEM education, workforce development services, and facility space to federal agencies as a prime contractor (88% of recent awards), with one subcontract placement under ManTech Advanced Systems International for computer professional services.
MISI competes in full-and-open (non-set-aside) federal procurements across both civilian and defense agencies. The organization draws customer concentration from Department of Defense components and the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). By award count, the Department of the Air Force Headquarters District Washington leads with two awards valued at $95 thousand combined, followed by CISA, US Cyber Command, the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security, and the United States Marine Corps; by potential dollar value, the Office of the Secretary of Defense anchors the portfolio at $108 thousand, with Washington Headquarters Service at $90 thousand and the Air Force at $95 thousand (covering 95% of combined potential value across five customer agencies). MISI holds a seat on the Alliant II GWAC, though recent activity carries minimal task order volume under that vehicle.
Recent representative work includes a $107.8 thousand firm-fixed-price purchase order from the Office of the Secretary of Defense for CLAW hardware and software (awarded February 26, 2025, completing March 4, 2025); a $90 thousand purchase order from Washington Headquarters Service for CLAW-04-451-BASE facilities and cybersecurity training services (awarded September 24, 2024); a $55 thousand sponsorship award from CISA for the Hack the Building 2.0 Hospital Edition cybersecurity training event (awarded September 8, 2023); a $32.2 thousand definitive contract from US Cyber Command for a Joint Professional Military Education II satellite course delivered June through August 2025; and a $20.6 thousand purchase order from the State Department Bureau of Diplomatic Security for security training (awarded January 21, 2026). The organization also provides facility space and conference room services to support federal training initiatives, including JPME training support and headquarters-level meetings.
Activity volume has declined over the period covered: three awards in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, and one in early 2026. Combined potential value stands at $401 thousand across all eight awards, though combined dollars obligated reach $21.4 million—a discrepancy reflecting significant invoicing or modification activity against relatively small ceiling values. MISI's subcontract work under ManTech involves computer professional services within the broader defense IT services ecosystem, though the source carries limited detail on that engagement's scope or duration.
