About the company
Motive International, LLC, an SBA 8(a)-certified economically disadvantaged women-owned small business (EDWOSB), delivers specialized training, governance advisory, and international security consulting services to the federal government as a prime contractor (80% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on defense and research initiatives. Headquartered in Washington, DC, Motive International competes predominantly under 8(a) set-asides and full-and-open vehicles; recent prime work splits between 8(a) Sole Source IDCs with USSOCOM and full-and-open delivery orders across Army and international security agencies.
Motive International's capability portfolio centers on governance training, onboarding and readiness training for special operations forces, table-top exercise design and facilitation, and international nonproliferation policy advisory work. Representative prime awards include an $15.4 million 8(a) sole-source indefinite delivery contract with US Special Operations Command running through March 2030 for 95th Transitional Governance Training and 95CA Brigade Training, Exercise, and Mission Support (awarded March 2025); a $231,000 firm fixed-price delivery order from USSOCOM for 95th Transitional Governance Training and table-top exercise support (June 2025); and a $487,933 cooperative agreement recipient award from the Department of State Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation under the Export Control and Related Border Security Program (CFDA 19.901) for initiatives to prevent proliferation risks associated with advanced and emerging technologies (awarded September 2021, extended through March 2027 with a $391,640 cost amendment in September 2024).
Customer concentration is acute. USSOCOM dominates both volume and dollars, accounting for 8 awards with $17.3 million in combined potential value across 85% of awards tracked in the source; the remaining customer base splits among the Department of the Army, the Department of State, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, and the U.S. Trade and Development Agency. USSOCOM task orders flow from two single-award indefinite delivery contracts: an active $15.4 million 8(a) sole-source vehicle (H9223925D0002) with five task orders valued at $427,000 combined, and a predecessor $909,906 onboarding training IDC (H9227621D0001, July 2021–July 2024) with two task orders valued at $456,000 combined. Motive International also places work through ASTRO and One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services vehicles.
Activity has accelerated sharply — one award in 2022 and 2024, two in 2023, seven in 2025, and two so far in 2026 — though the vendor faces minimal recompete pressure, with only one award reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. In its subcontractor role, Motive International provides irregular warfare research support to Arizona State University's Center for Irregular Warfare Research and Education (CIWRE) and delivers consulting, training, and mission support services on global conflict, stability, and foreign affairs initiatives to Booz Allen Hamilton. The vendor's core capability framing across both prime and sub work emphasizes professional services in national security training and international security policy domains, with particular depth in special operations force personnel readiness and emerging-technology nonproliferation policy.
