New Rights Group, Inc.

New Rights Group, Inc., doing business as Development Seed, provides geospatial software development, machine learning, data visualization, and advanced informatics services to federal environmental and Earth science programs as a prime contractor (93% of recent awards), operating as a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation from Washington, DC. Development Seed competes predominantly under small business set-asides on NASA contracts, with recent work split between total small business and full-and-open designations.

Development Seed's customer base is concentrated almost entirely within NASA. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Marshall Space Flight Center accounts for 6 awards with $190.9 million in combined potential value, while the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center holds 7 awards valued at $421 thousand combined. A single award from the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration completes the customer roster, representing 100% of tracked awards across three agencies. Marshall Space Flight Center anchors both the award count and dollar concentration.

Development Seed holds two single-award IDIQs under NASA Marshall. The Innovative Visualization, Exploration, and Data Analysis (IVEDA) contract, awarded December 1, 2025, carries a $64.48 million ceiling through November 30, 2027, and authorizes software development, user experience design, machine learning expertise, and technical writing services for data management and visualization. The Next Generation Scalable Data Engineering, Operations, and Informatics Support for Open Science (NEXT GEN) contract, a total small business set-aside awarded July 1, 2026, carries a $75.88 million ceiling through June 30, 2028, for next-generation data engineering and informatics supporting open science initiatives. Development Seed has issued delivery orders against both vehicles: a $4.11 million firm fixed-price order under IVEDA for the VEDA platform (completion November 30, 2026) and a $5.4 million small business set-aside order under NEXT GEN for advanced capabilities supporting the Office of Data Science and Informatics (completion June 30, 2027). A prior definitive contract awarded January 1, 2022, for $37.9 million covered development supporting NASA's Inter-Agency Implementation and Advanced Concepts Team (IMPACT) and Earth Science Data System program, including novel data format development, open-source software prototyping for legacy Earth science data, and Commercial Smallsat Data Acquisition system infrastructure enhancement, with ultimate completion June 30, 2026.

Development Seed operates nearly exclusively as a prime (93% of awards). A single subcontract appears in the footprint: a software development role under Booz Allen Hamilton supporting accelerated development and deployment of data and application environments for weather systems modernization (award date June 22, 2026). Activity shows modest volatility — three awards in 2021, then one each in 2022 and 2023, then two in 2025 and three in 2026 — with $9.6 million in combined potential value facing recompete within the next twenty-four months. Service Contract Inventory reporting shows minimal SCI-reportable federal service contract invoicing: zero dollars across FY2022–FY2025, with FTE delivery ranging from 0.3 FTEs in FY2022 to 0.0–0.1 in subsequent years. SCI data reflects a subset of Development Seed's federal activity and does not capture the bulk of the vendor's firm fixed-price contract work or product-focused deliverables.
