Plug & Play, LLC

Plug & Play, LLC, operating as Plugandplaytechcenter.com, is a minority-owned innovation platform and venture-capital firm headquartered in Sunnyvale, California that delivers innovation-ecosystem services and startup-acceleration programs to the federal government, operating primarily as a subcontractor (60% of recent awards) and occasionally as a prime contractor on targeted defense and international development programs. The vendor competes in full-and-open categories with no set-aside designations across its recent federal footprint.

Plug & Play's capability portfolio centers on startup acceleration, innovation platforms, and mentorship delivery. As a prime contractor, Plug & Play was awarded a $975,000 firm fixed-price contract by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity in August 2025 under the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) Broad Agency Announcement to enhance Department of Defense and installation energy capabilities through its innovation platform and proprietary startup software, with performance scheduled through August 3, 2029. In its subcontractor role, Plug & Play provided innovation-platform and accelerator services to Booz Allen Hamilton under the xTech AI Grand Challenge Accelerator program, delivering workshops, mentorship, and strategic exposure to participating startups in September 2025. Plug & Play also subcontracts to DAI Global LLC on international development work, supporting Egyptian startups in the public-service innovation and GovTech spaces under a task order placed in December 2021.

Customer concentration is broad but shallow. The vendor has received awards from five distinct federal agencies across a four-year span (2019 through 2026), with no single customer dominating the portfolio. The Army Corps of Engineers' Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity anchors the named potential value at $975,000, while USAID, HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, Army Materiel Command, and the DoD Washington Headquarters Service Office of Economic Adjustment round out the customer set. Plug & Play places work under the USAID Public Financial Management II IDIQ and holds a direct task order against Army indefinite delivery contract W911QX23D0010. Recent activity is sparse: one award in 2019, one in 2021, and two in 2025, with one grant sub-award recorded in January 2026. The Service Contract Inventory shows minimal SCI-reportable activity, with 3.4 FTEs recorded under a single subcontract record in FY2024, indicating that most Plug & Play work falls below the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold or operates outside the SCI-captured service-contract categories. The vendor also serves as a sub-recipient on a Texas Microelectronics Precision Rapid Innovation & Scaling Manufacturing (PRISM) Network grant through the University of Texas at Austin.
