Metis Technology Partners, LLC

Metis Technology Partners, LLC, Metis Technology Solutions, In Division, a women-owned small business joint venture headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, provides launch pad safety support services to the U.S. Air Force Space Command as a prime contractor operating under a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC). The vendor is a division of Metis Technology Solutions, Inc., itself a certified women-owned small business, and competes exclusively under small-business set-asides—the parent IDC (FA252122D0002) is designated as a total small business set-aside valued at $53.5 million running through July 31, 2031, with most individual delivery orders either designated as total small business set-aside or carrying no explicit set-aside at the order level while housed within the set-aside vehicle.

Metis Technology Partners delivers comprehensive safety engineering, hazard analysis, risk assessment, and technical support for pre-launch, launch, and post-launch activities across Space Launch Delta 45 operations at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Patrick Space Force Base, and Kennedy Space Center. Work encompasses launch pad safety support for government and commercial space launch programs, Davis-Bacon Act labor institutional support, Process Safety Management compliance under Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards, pressure vessel mechanical integrity inspection, and fuel storage area safety support. Representative work includes a $1.81 million delivery order for United Launch Alliance pad safety support (October 1, 2024–September 30, 2025), a $1.11 million delivery order for SpaceX program operations (October 1, 2024–September 30, 2025), and a $635 thousand delivery order for Blue Origin pad safety support (October 19, 2024–October 18, 2025). The vendor has also issued delivery orders supporting NASA Exploration Ground Systems, U.S. Navy launch operations, Missile Defense Agency activities, and commercial space providers including Relativity Space, ABL Space, Stoke Space, Phantom Space, Astra, and Firefly Aerospace.

Customer concentration is extreme. Metis Technology Partners draws 100% of its 104 awards from the Department of the Air Force Space Command and subordinate components (Air Force Space Command, 102 awards for $76.3 million; Space and Missile Systems Center, 1 award for $936 thousand; Defense Finance and Accounting Service, 1 award for $5 thousand). All work flows through the single parent IDC, which has generated 103 task orders carrying a combined potential value of $23.7 million. Activity peaked in 2022 with 37 awards and has trended downward—24 awards in 2023, 17 in 2024, 24 in 2025, and 2 awards to date in 2026. Within the next twenty-four months, nineteen awards (combined potential value $5.7 million) reach ultimate completion date, presenting recompete exposure as those delivery orders cycle or consolidate under follow-on vehicles.

Metis Technology Partners frequently engages subcontractors to enhance delivery capabilities, naming Metis Technology Solutions, Inc. (the certified women-owned small business parent entity), Arctos Technology Solutions, LLC (Beavercreek, Ohio), and Axient LLC (Huntsville, Alabama) as recurring partners providing aerospace engineering, safety analysis, risk assessment, and technical services. The vendor holds no other federal contract vehicles, GWACs, or agency-wide IDIQs; all federal work is concentrated within the single Space Launch Delta 45 IDC. Place of performance spans Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Patrick Space Force Base, and Kennedy Space Center, Florida, with administrative headquarters in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Primary NAICS is Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (104 awards); primary PSC is Support–Professional: Engineering/Technical (104 awards).
