Optimization Technologies, Inc.

Optimization Technologies, Inc., doing business as Opt TEK Systems, Inc., is a Boulder, Colorado-based small business specializing in advanced modeling, simulation, and optimization technologies for the federal government. The company focuses on artificial intelligence and machine learning applications designed to address complex defense and operational challenges across multiple Department of Defense agencies. Registered in SAM.gov since December 9, 2005, Optimization Technologies maintains an active federal contracting presence with expertise in research and development services that support mission-critical defense capabilities.

Optimization Technologies has secured a substantial portfolio of prime federal contract awards totaling approximately $15.5 million in recent years, with the majority designated as total small business set-asides under the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs. The company has been the primary recipient of funding from the Missile Defense Agency, which has awarded multiple SBIR Phase I and Phase II contracts for benchmarking simulations for missile defense systems analysis, artificial intelligence and machine learning applications for kinetic and non-kinetic missile defense battle management, operational defense effectiveness assessments for missile raid scenarios, and innovative uses of artificial intelligence and machine learning in scenario planning and design. Additional prime awards include a $1.15 million STTR Phase II contract from the Army Research, Development and Engineering Command for verification, validation, assurance, and trust methodologies for machine learning models and data; an $800,000 SBIR Phase II contract from Air Force Space Command for tactical fire optimization technology research; a $1.156 million SBIR Phase II contract from Naval Sea Systems Command for modeling, simulation, and optimization research; and a $250,000 SBIR Phase I award from the Department of the Army for using artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate combat simulation scenario creation. The company has also performed as a subcontractor on various federal contracts with prime contractors including Leidos, Inc., The Perduco Group, Inc., General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc., and Parsons Government Services Inc., providing engineering services, technical support, and services in support of contract statements of work. All identified prime awards have utilized total small business set-aside designations, reflecting the government's commitment to supporting small business innovation in defense technology.

Optimization Technologies currently holds two significant federal contract indefinite delivery vehicles that position the company for sustained engagement with federal agencies. The company was awarded a $4 billion multiple award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract under the Seaport Next Generation (Seaport-NXG) vehicle by Naval Sea Systems Command on January 2, 2025, with performance extending through January 1, 2029. This contract encompasses research, engineering, software development, and consulting services to support Naval Sea Systems Command and its partners, with no set-aside designation, allowing the contractor to compete for task orders on an unrestricted basis. A minimum guarantee task order valued at $500 was issued on March 6, 2025, evidencing active utilization of this vehicle. Additionally, Optimization Technologies holds a Federal Supply Schedule multiple award contract awarded by the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service on July 14, 2022, valued at $500,000 with a completion date of July 13, 2027. This schedule contract provides research, engineering, and development services with strategic planning capabilities focused on modeling, simulation, and optimization technologies, staffed by subject matter experts and software engineers, with hourly labor rates ranging from $152 to $441 depending on labor category and experience level. Both indefinite delivery vehicles enable the company to provide on-call specialized technical services across defense and civilian federal agencies, leveraging its core competencies in artificial intelligence and machine learning applications.
