Sempre, Inc.

Sempre, Inc., a Colorado Springs-based small business, operates as a prime contractor delivering hardened deployable 5G network infrastructure, counter-unmanned aircraft systems (CUAS), and advanced communications technologies to the Department of Defense and Air Force under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competitions. The company competes exclusively as a prime; it holds no subcontract awards in the recent portfolio.

Sempre's capability portfolio centers on deployable 5G systems, CUAS strike packages, and layered defense network infrastructure for military modernization and homeland protection. Representative work includes a $48.65 million total small business set-aside definitive contract awarded by Global Strike Command on March 6, 2026, for CUAS Striker Package and Base Area Layer Network (SEMPRE T) support at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, with ultimate completion by May 4, 2026; a $3.69 million Small Business Innovation Research Phase III action from the Air Force (award date November 1, 2024) for hardened deployable 5G network infrastructure to AFGSC bases and government-directed locations through October 31, 2027; and a $1.8 million SBIR Phase II definitive contract from Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (award date June 12, 2023) for research and development of a Transportable 5G System at Barksdale Air Force Base. The company's previous Air Force engagements total approximately $5.66 million.

Customer concentration is heavily Air Force-centric. Global Strike Command dominates the portfolio at $48.7 million (87% of combined potential value) across a single award, while the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory, the Air Force, Air Combat Command, and the Missile Defense Agency collectively account for the remaining 13%. Sempre recently joined the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ — a multiple-award Missile Defense Agency indefinite delivery vehicle with a ten-year performance period through December 28, 2035 — and received an initial delivery order (December 29, 2025) valued at five hundred dollars, establishing a foothold on a long-term strategic contracting vehicle for integrated layered defense spanning research, prototyping, weapon design, production, and modernization across multiple threat domains.

Activity is sparse and episodic: one award in 2020, two in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026, with combined potential value of $55.9 million across eight prime awards. Only one award—the $3.69 million Air Force SBIR Phase III contract—faces completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The portfolio skews heavily toward research and development (5 awards under R&D NAICS 541712 and PSC codes for experimental development and applied research), with one telecom infrastructure award and one systems design award, positioning Sempre as a defense innovation partner rather than a high-volume production or services contractor.
