One Nation Innovation

One Nation Innovation, a minority-owned, veteran-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned nonprofit based in Columbia, South Carolina, operates exclusively as a prime contractor under Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) with defense agencies, holding 118 awards valued at $2.26 billion in combined potential value. The vendor competes 100 percent in full-and-open procurement without set-asides and holds no traditional GSA Schedules, GWACs, BPAs, or FAR-based IDIQs; all activity flows through defense OTA vehicles under 10 U.S.C. § 4022 authority for prototype development and innovation. One Nation Innovation holds an Asian-Pacific American ownership designation and has recorded sharply accelerated activity: no recorded awards in 2023 or 2024, followed by 25 awards in 2025 and 92 awards through mid-2026, reflecting recent market entry at scale or a significant shift toward OTA procurement across the Department of Defense.

One Nation Innovation's capability portfolio centers on defense innovation prototyping across four primary domains: workforce productivity and operational efficiency systems; environmental management and sustainment infrastructure; advanced sensing, radar, and unmanned systems including counter-UAS, C-UAS test and evaluation, and autonomous platforms; and digital platforms spanning data science, machine learning, SAP systems enablement, FedRAMP certification support, and enterprise software solutions. Representative prime awards include a $263.3 million Office of the Secretary of Defense LCCM Requirement Modification Phase II OTA (April 2026), an $83 million Army Forces Command XVIII ABC Environmental Manager Prototype OTA (September 2022, ultimate completion June 2026), a $100 million Office of the Secretary of Defense VIASAT Phase II REP OTA for electronic warfare waveforms and cyber-hardened enclosures (January 2026), an $80.9 million Department of Defense WARMATRIX prototype OTA (July 2026) with Code Metal, Inc. as primary consortia member, and a $99.96 million Air Force Research Laboratory Autonomous Ground Support for Contested Environments OTA (June 2026) with Templar LLC as primary consortia member.

Customer concentration sits heavily with the Department of Defense and its components. The Office of the Secretary of Defense dominates both volume and value, accounting for 34 awards (28 percent of the vendor's portfolio) valued at $934.5 million combined potential value. The top five customer agencies account for 56 percent of awards and 72 percent of combined potential value: Space and Missile Systems Center (10 awards, $290.8 million), Washington Headquarters Service (10 awards, $198.8 million), Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (7 awards, $95.2 million), Department of the Air Force (5 awards, $46.2 million), and Army Forces Command (3 awards, $99.9 million). One Nation Innovation serves 35 distinct customer agencies across the defense enterprise, with secondary activity flowing through Naval Supply Systems Command, Naval Air Warfare Center, Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, Defense Threat Reduction Agency, Special Operations Command, and space and missile defense customers.

One Nation Innovation's recent OTA IDV portfolio anchors the vendor's standing vehicles. The vendor holds 24 named Other Transaction IDVs with combined ceiling values exceeding $375 million, all awarded September 2025 or later, providing standing authority for task-order placement without new competition. The largest vehicles include an $88.5 million Office of the Secretary of Defense FLEX IDV (September 2025), a $50.8 million Office of the Secretary of Defense T-REX prototype IDV (July 2025), a $50 million Office of Naval Research Innovation and Experimentation IDV (September 2026), a $36.4 million Air Force FV Phase II IDV (September 2025), a $32.7 million Office of Naval Research Long-Range Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Systems IDV with Ideal Aerosmith Inc. as primary consortia member (September 2025), a $26.1 million Department of Defense Workforce Productivity Innovation IDV with DLA Energy scope (June 2025), and smaller vehicles supporting counter-UAS radar development ($9.7 million), munitions energetics technology ($7.6 million), and specialized Air Force platforms. The vendor obligated $1.41 billion (62 percent of combined potential value) across all awards as of mid-2026.

Activity has accelerated sharply and faces material recompete exposure. Eighty-one awards (combined potential value $1.46 billion) carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete opportunity beginning late 2026. The 105 awards classified under National Defense R&D Services (experimental development) dominate the portfolio; secondary categories include IT and telecom business application software-as-a-service (4 awards) and labor support (3 awards).

One Nation Innovation's teaming posture reflects consortia-led structures on prototype work. Named primary consortia members across recent awards include 10X National Security Inc., Code Metal Inc., Templar LLC, Coaspire LLC, Ouverture Consulting Services LLC, Actionet Inc. (a women-owned small business), Purple Rhombus Inc., Vatn Systems Inc., Ideal Aerosmith Inc., Chesapeake Technology International Corp., and others. The vendor performs as prime on all 118 awards and maintains no subcontractor relationships outside the consortia-member framing on OTA efforts.
