Quartermaster AI, Inc.

Quartermaster AI, Inc. Quartermaster Division, an Arlington, Virginia-based for-profit corporation, provides maritime domain awareness systems and subscription data services to U.S. defense and homeland security agencies as a 100% prime contractor, competing without set-aside designation. The vendor specializes in commercial-off-the-shelf maritime surveillance hardware—primarily the SMARTMAST platform, a 360-degree HD video sensor kit with Automatic Identification System transmission detection—and related subscription and data analytics services for naval and border security operations.

Eight prime awards totaling $16.2 million in combined potential value, with $12.8 million obligated, span fiscal 2023 through March 2026. The Department of the Air Force dominates Quartermaster AI's customer concentration, accounting for roughly 50% of combined potential value across four awards: a $4.75 million delivery order from Air Force Space Command for maritime security subscription and data services (performance through August 31, 2026), a $1.9 million delivery order from the Secretary of the Air Force for similar services (performance through September 25, 2026), a $500,000 delivery order from the Secretary of the Air Force for maritime security subscription data (performance through May 14, 2026), and a $1.99 million definitive contract from the Secretary of the Air Force for SMARTMAST system delivery (performance through September 26, 2025). The Department of Defense Washington Headquarters Service accounts for $4.2 million through an Other Transaction Agreement for a classified effort titled "Transparent Ocean" (performance through December 22, 2027). The Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection placed a $1.9 million purchase order for the Quartermaster SMARTMAST Mobility Demonstration and Assessment Pilot (performance through March 23, 2027), while the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command awarded a $220,000 purchase order for USVRON-1 Quartermaster Service (performance through October 1, 2027) and the Department of the Navy a $780,000 definitive contract for the IUUF MASTLINK requirement.

Activity accelerated from one award in 2023 and one in 2024 to four in 2025 and two in 2026 through March. Five awards totaling $13 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure. The vendor holds no parent contract vehicles, parent IDIQ seats, or GWACs; all awards are direct purchases or delivery orders. Quartermaster AI competes full-and-open across all eight awards without leveraging set-aside categories. The vendor's NAICS profile splits between Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (four awards) and Other Computer Related Services (two awards), reflecting both hardware and subscription software positioning.
