Metis Technology Partners, LLC

Metis Technology Partners, LLC, Metis Technology Solutions, In Division, a women-owned small business joint venture based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, operates as a prime contractor delivering launch pad safety support and comprehensive safety engineering services to the Department of the Air Force Space Command under a total small business set-aside posture. The company is a division of Metis Technology Solutions, Inc., a certified women-owned small business parent entity, and competes predominantly under the Total Small Business set-aside category across its prime federal footprint.

Metis Technology Partners' capability portfolio centers on operational safety support for government and commercial space launch operations, with concrete service offerings including launch pad safety engineering, hazard analysis, risk assessment, technical support for pre-launch and post-launch activities, Davis-Bacon Act labor institutional compliance, Process Safety Management compliance under OSHA standards, pressure vessel mechanical integrity inspection, and fuel storage area safety support. Representative work includes a $1.273 million delivery order for United Launch Alliance pad safety support (October 1, 2025–July 31, 2026), a $955.678 million order for SpaceX program operations (October 1, 2025–July 31, 2026), and a $935.575 million order for Blue Origin program support (October 19, 2025–July 31, 2026), all issued under the parent IDC. Additional task orders support 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 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Patrick Space Force Base, and Kennedy Space Center.

Customer concentration is extreme and monolithic. The Air Force Space Command funds 103 of 105 awards (98% of volume) for a combined potential value of $76.7 million, with the remaining two awards to Air Force Space Command Space and Missile Systems Center ($936 thousand) and Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service ($5 thousand). This concentration reflects the vendor's single dominant vehicle relationship rather than diversified customer engagement.

Metis Technology Partners holds a single parent Indefinite Delivery Contract (FA252122D0002), a $53.5 million total small business set-aside awarded February 1, 2022, running through July 31, 2031, under which 104 of 105 awards are issued as delivery orders. This vehicle dominates the footprint, with task orders carrying combined potential value of $24.1 million. The IDIQ consolidates multiple previous contract vehicles to streamline acquisition of launch pad safety services across Space Launch Delta 45 operations.

Activity has contracted sharply from the 2022 baseline. The vendor recorded 37 awards in 2022 (the initial year of the parent IDC), declining to 24 in 2023, 17 in 2024, recovering to 24 in 2025, and dropping to 3 awards year-to-date in 2026 through August 1. The source data does not carry a recompete cliff analysis, but the parent IDC's ultimate completion date of July 31, 2031, anchors all delivery-order work to that vehicle's renewal cycle.

Metis Technology Partners subcontracts to recurring partners including Metis Technology Solutions, Inc. (the parent entity and a certified women-owned small business), Arctos Technology Solutions, LLC, and Axient LLC, which collectively provide aerospace engineering, safety analysis, risk assessment, and technical services supporting hazard analysis and safety operations across Space Launch Delta 45 facilities. The parent Metis Technology Solutions, Inc., is also named as a subcontractor on multiple task orders, creating a parent-subsidiary teaming structure within the same corporate group.

The vendor's NAICS footprint is entirely within 541715 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), and all 105 awards carry PSC Q236 (Support–Professional: Engineering/Technical), reflecting narrow specialization in safety engineering and technical analysis for launch operations. The $77.6 million combined potential value across 105 awards represents an average task-order ceiling of roughly $740 thousand, characteristic of modular delivery-order work under a single-award IDIQ vehicle.
