About the company
Protopia AI Inc., an Austin, Texas-based for-profit organization, provides secure artificial intelligence and advanced defense systems research and development to the Department of Defense as a small-business prime contractor, competing exclusively under total small business set-asides on research and development awards and full-and-open competition on strategic defense platforms.
The vendor's recent award footprint spans five prime contracts and IDVs totaling $4.5 million in combined potential value, concentrated in defense-related AI and missile defense applications. The Air Force Research Laboratory has issued two awards: a $1.24 million firm fixed-price purchase order (February 2026) for secure artificial intelligence applied to flightline quality assurance, with completion in June 2027, and a $1.24 million SBIR Phase II purchase order (May 2025) for enabling secure, affordable generative artificial intelligence for aircraft software development teams, completed in November 2025. The Department of the Army awarded a $2 million SBIR Phase II definitive contract (July 2025) under topic A244-P017 for research and development, with completion scheduled for January 2027. The Missile Defense Agency issued a $500 delivery order (December 2025) under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program, a multi-award IDIQ with a $151 billion ceiling running through December 2035; initial performance is located in Huntsville, Alabama. The SHIELD IDIQ encompasses research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity modernization, and disruptive technology initiatives across multiple classification levels and security domains, leveraging AI, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures for multi-domain defense against air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats.
Customer concentration is split evenly between the Air Force Research Laboratory (two awards, $2.5 million combined potential value), the Army (one award, $2 million), and the Missile Defense Agency (two awards, $500). All work is categorized under research and development in the physical and engineering sciences. Two awards totaling $3.2 million face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete exposure for the vendor.
