Morsecorp, Inc.

Morsecorp, Inc., doing business as Morse, an employee-owned small business headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, delivers algorithm and software development, artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, and advanced materials research and development to the Department of Defense and related federal agencies almost exclusively as a prime contractor (87% of awards). The vendor competes in full-and-open markets without set-aside designation on the majority of its prime work, though it holds seats on the Total Small Business set-aside OASIS+ GWAC and participates in several agency-specific small-business IDIQs; recent awards span definitive contracts, delivery orders under indefinite-delivery vehicles, Other Transaction Agreements, and SBIR Phase I and II efforts across Army, DARPA, Air Force, Navy, and OSD customer bases.

Morse's customer concentration sits heavily with Army R&D and Test and Evaluation commands. The top five funding agencies by award count and dollar value account for 71% and 100% of awards respectively; by combined potential value, the Office of the Secretary of Defense leads at $48.27 billion (anchored by the OASIS+ GWAC seat and DoD Information Analysis Center IDIQ), followed by the Air Force at $46.08 billion, Army Materiel Command R&D at $644.8 million, Army Test and Evaluation Command at $105.7 million, and Naval Sea Systems Command at $4 billion. The Office of the Secretary of Defense and Air Force dominate by dollar magnitude but represent a smaller share of award count than Army R&D and ATEC, signaling that Morse's largest ceiling values reside on government-wide and service-level vehicles while its highest transaction volume derives from Army test and engineering efforts.

Morse's parent vehicle portfolio reflects both government-wide and agency-specific seats. The vendor holds a $999,999,999,999 ceiling on the Total Small Business OASIS+ multiple-award GWAC (GSA, awarded December 2024, through December 2029), positioning it alongside government-wide competitors for task orders across seven functional domains including Management and Advisory, Technical and Engineering, and Research and Development. A $151 billion Missile Defense Agency Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ (awarded December 2025, through December 2035) carries an initial $500 task order. Agency-specific vehicles include a $390 million single-award RDECOM indefinite-delivery contract for system-wide test and evaluation and applied AI/ML research (awarded February 2025, through February 2030), with one $39.5 million task order issued; a $66.6 million single-award Army Test and Evaluation Command data mesh IDIQ (awarded May 2024, through May 2029) supporting enterprise data infrastructure modernization with five task orders totaling approximately $28.1 million; a $4 billion Naval Sea Systems Command SeaPort-NXG multiple-award IDIQ (awarded January 2025, through January 2029); a $48 billion DoD Information Analysis Center on-ramp vehicle (awarded January 2025, through September 2027); and a GSA Multiple Award Schedule position generating six task orders at $150.9 million combined potential value. Morse also holds Other Transaction IDVs from DARPA ($11.9 million ALBATROSS Program, May 2025; $1.4 million Materials Advancement, September 2023), PEO CSCSS ($1.9 million Contested Aerial Delivery Development, June 2025), and USSOCOM ($1.2 million SBIR Phase II, March 2023), plus a $15 million Office of the Secretary of Defense Basic Ordering Agreement for data readiness AI development and a $249 million Joint Artificial Intelligence Center test and evaluation BPA.

Concrete representative work spans three primary capability streams. First, airdrop guidance and aerial delivery: a $57.5 million definitive contract from Army R&D for aerial delivery support services (awarded July 2024, through July 2029, with $5.8 million invoiced and 11.5 FTEs in FY2025); a $1.99 million Army contract for Joint Precision Airdrop System Tactical Range Extension Kit 2.0 autonomous powered paraglider development (awarded April 2026, through October 2027); a $36.4 million Army R&D delivery order under the GSA MAS for Joint Precision Airdrop System flight software and website updates (awarded September 2024, through September 2029, with $3.8 million invoiced and 10.5 FTEs in FY2025); and development of parachute systems totaling $10 million (June 2024). Second, test and evaluation and data infrastructure: a $9.95 million Army Test and Evaluation Command delivery order for Algorithmically Rigorous Modernization of Operational Routines at Yuma Proving Ground Phase 0 and 1 (awarded May 2025, through May 2029, with $1.1 million invoiced and 4.7 FTEs); a $7.88 million ATEC System Infrastructure Modernization order (awarded February 2026, through February 2027); a $44.9 million Army R&D contract for advanced test and evaluation of AI/ML progress (awarded August 2022, through September 2026); and a $5 million ATEC Data Common Operating Picture task order (awarded August 2024, through August 2026). Third, software development and AI research: an $83 million Air Force delivery order on the GSA MAS for Global Mobility and Special Missions mission planning software development within an agile framework (awarded April 2025, through September 2030, time and materials pricing); a $39.5 million Army R&D delivery order for system-wide test and evaluation and applied AI/ML under a Commercial Solutions Opening (awarded March 2025, through March 2028); and DARPA efforts including a $695,773 Embedded Entrepreneurship Initiative contract (awarded May 2026, through April 2028), a $1.04 million Strategic Technology Office OTA (awarded March 2026, through December 2026), and a $2.08 million Tactical Technology Office definitive contract (awarded September 2023, through June 2026).

Activity has accelerated sharply — five awards in 2022 scaling to twenty-two in 2024 and fifteen in 2025 — before moderating to five awards year-to-date in 2026. Ten awards with combined potential value of $63.1 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. Morse operates almost entirely as a prime, with 87% of awards in that role; the 13% sub-award footprint includes four recent sub-tasks under BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services (Instrumentation Range Support Program III, four awards spanning data processing, cloud deployment, targeting software, and pipeline development) and HII Mission Technologies (aerial delivery analysis and JPADS flight/mission planning software, two awards), plus two DARPA sub-research efforts under unnamed primes (February 2024, January 2024). Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Morse self-performed 100% of hours with zero subcontractor engagement, indicating a vertically integrated delivery model.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue shows growth trajectory. FY2022 captured $3.8 million across 14.8 FTEs on a single contract record; FY2025 delivered $12.9 million across 32.4 FTEs from four prime records and one sub record, representing a 3.4x revenue scale and 2.2x workforce expansion. Government-paid hourly rates derived from SCI prime records averaged $124.70 per hour across all percentiles, suggesting standardized labor pricing rather than rate differentiation; GSA Schedule rates range from $87.80 per hour (Junior Developer, high school education, no experience) through $465.94 per hour (Technical Training Director, bachelor's degree, 12 years experience), with no security-cleared labor categories offered. The vendor's 20 active GSA Schedule labor categories span development, engineering, management, analysis, and training roles at education levels from high school through master's degree.

NAICS concentration reflects the R&D and software footprint. The top category is Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (26 awards), followed by Engineering Services (13 awards) and Custom Computer Programming Services (11 awards), with Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (5 awards) and Aircraft Manufacturing (4 awards) rounding out the engineering stack. PSC coding mirrors this: IT and Telecom Business Application/Application Development Support Services Labor dominates (9 awards), followed by Parachutes, Aerial Pick Up and Delivery, and Recovery Systems (7 awards), and then National Defense R&D Services across Applied Research and Experimental Development (5 awards each).

The OASIS+ Small Business set-aside GWAC ceiling placeholder of $999,999,999,999 is a notional vehicle maximum, not a real program value; similarly, the SHIELD IDIQ ceiling of $151 billion represents a 10-year multi-domain authorization rather than anticipated obligation. Real current vehicle ceilings and active task-order volume clarify actual customer access: the $390 million RDECOM single-award IDIQ with one active $39.5 million task order, the $66.6 million ATEC data mesh vehicle with active task orders in the $28.1 million range, and the $83 million Air Force MAS order represent the vendor's active high-value work streams, with SeaPort-NXG ($4 billion), DoD IAC on-ramp ($48 billion), and SHIELD ($151 billion) positioning Morse for future task order growth pending customer demand.
