Offset Strategic Services, LLC

Offset Strategic Services, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) based in Huntsville, Alabama, operates primarily as a subcontractor (75% of recent awards) delivering technical engineering, autonomous vehicle robotics, quantum algorithm development, and safety consulting services to Department of Defense and civilian agencies. The vendor competes in set-aside vehicles aligned with its SDVOSB and veteran-owned business (VOB) certifications, with recent prime work concentrated in Small Business set-asides including STTR Phase I awards and GSA Schedule task orders.

Offset Strategic Services holds a corporate structure anchored by three named subsidiaries—Bright Path Research LLC, Offset Systems Group LLC, and Strategic AI Services LLC—each certified as SDVOSB or VOB entities, with Strategic AI Services also holding a self-certified small disadvantaged business designation and Department of Transportation Disadvantaged Business Enterprise certification. This subsidiary network expands the vendor's set-aside posture and enables specialized capability framing across research, systems engineering, and AI-focused delivery.

The vendor's subcontractor footprint is concentrated with Department of the Army prime contractors. DCS Corporation accounts for the largest share of sub-award volume, with Offset Strategic Services providing technical and engineering services across multiple task orders since 2023 in support of DCS's TARDEC Ground Vehicle Robotics directorate, focused on increasing autonomous capabilities of combat vehicles and reducing the autonomy gap between vehicle control systems and required human interaction. Offset Strategic Services also subcontracts to Agile Defense LLC on PEO Missiles and Space Information Technology Support Services labor tasks (two sub-awards in 2025), to Booz Allen Hamilton on Technical Support for Prototype Integration Facility engineering and technical solutions, and to Torch Technologies Inc. on simulation support for the Aviation & Missile Center. A single higher-education sub-award to UC San Diego involved SETA support for production and systems engineering.

Prime capability work, though smaller in volume, demonstrates quantum optimization and specialized consulting. Recent prime awards include a $224,839 STTR Phase I fixed-price contract awarded September 2026 by NASA's Shared Services Center for constraint-aware quantum optimization applied to satellite data acquisition and scheduling (ultimate completion October 2027); a $179,774 STTR Phase I purchase order from the Air Force Research Laboratory awarded November 2024 for quantum algorithms supporting military cargo transport (completed May 2025); and a $365,636 consulting services purchase order from the U.S. Forest Service (through the National Interagency Fire Center) awarded October 2023 for external review and evaluation of the smokejumper program's transition to ram-air parachutes, incorporating safety management systems analysis. The vendor maintains a $12 million GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (MAS) awarded September 2022 through August 2027, carrying 35 active labor categories spanning program management, data analysis, software development, and engineering support with hourly rates from $46.50 (Co-Op Student Assistant, high school) through $249.48 (Program Manager III, bachelor's degree, 20 years experience); no security-cleared positions are offered.

Customer concentration leans heavily toward Department of the Army—eight awards under TACOM Life Cycle Management Command and three under PEO Missiles and Space together comprise 70% of recent award count—reflecting the vendor's embedded position as a robotics and autonomous systems engineering subcontractor. GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors 100% of the potential-value ranking via the $12 million Schedule contract; by award count, Army programs dominate. The vendor serves eleven distinct federal customer agencies across a recent activity span of 20 total awards (prime plus sub) with combined potential value of $13.1 million. Activity has grown from one award in 2022 to eight in 2024, then moderated to four in 2025 and two in 2026. Only one award (the $225 thousand NASA STTR Phase I contract) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure.

Service Contract Inventory data shows Offset Strategic Services operates exclusively as a named subcontractor on SCI-reportable federal service contracts—thirteen records across FY2022–FY2025 with zero prime SCI records. Workforce scale on SCI-reported contracts grew from 23.1 FTEs in FY2022 to 34.7 FTEs in FY2025, indicating steady expansion in labor-intensive subcontractor roles. The vendor's top parent contracts beyond the GSA Schedule include an Indefinite Delivery Contract (W56HZV23D0017) carrying seven task orders, Information Technology Enterprise Solutions 3 - Services with two task orders, and single positions on Information Analysis Center Multiple-Award Contract and One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services - Small Business vehicles.
