Openai Public Sector, LLC

OpenAI Public Sector, LLC, a San Francisco–based for-profit limited liability company, delivers AI platform training and frontier AI prototype development to Department of Defense and defense research agencies as a prime contractor under Other Transaction Agreements and as a subcontractor to national laboratory operators, competing in full-and-open (non set-aside) defense markets.

OpenAI Public Sector's recent federal footprint comprises five awards totaling $6.5 million in combined potential value, split 60% prime and 40% subcontractor roles. The three prime awards are OTAs: a $3.5 million ceiling Other Transaction Agreement with US Cyber Command for AI platform training (performance in Columbia, Maryland, completion October 2026), a $1.999 million ceiling OTA with the Office of the Secretary of Defense for an OpenAI Frontier AI prototype effort (Las Vegas, Nevada, completion June 2027), and a $1 million ceiling OT IDV with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency for advanced AI systems development. The two subcontract awards are both with Triad National Security, LLC, for IT professional services under the competition for management and operation of Los Alamos National Laboratory, reflecting engagement with the national security laboratory complex.

Customer concentration aligns entirely with Department of Defense components and affiliated research agencies — US Cyber Command ($3.5 million), the Office of the Secretary of Defense ($2 million), and DARPA ($1 million) account for 100% of award value across named customer lines, with the Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration holding the two Los Alamos sub-awards. All five recent awards cluster in the defense AI and prototype-development space, with category concentration across National Defense R&D Services (1 award), IT application development (1 award), and education/training (1 award), alongside the two Los Alamos Facilities Support Services awards. Two awards (combined potential value $5.5 million) reach completion within the next twenty-four months.
