R-Dex Systems, Inc.

R-Dex Systems, Inc., a small business based in Woodstock, Georgia, provides artificial intelligence, robotics, advanced sensor solutions, and multi-sensor fusion capabilities to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor under small business set-asides and full-and-open competition, with 100% of its federal award footprint held as a prime (no subcontract work).

R-Dex is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Woodstock with operations at Holly Springs, Georgia. The company competes across both set-aside and unrestricted vehicles: roughly 80% of its recent awards carry total small business set-asides, concentrated in the SBIR and STTR programs; the remainder compete full-and-open on large IDVs and research vehicles. The company's capability portfolio centers on machine learning, automatic target recognition, electronic warfare, signals intelligence, sensor fusion, communications systems, and neuromorphic computing for defense applications. Representative work includes a $1.36 million STTR Phase II contract with the Department of the Army (awarded April 2026) for drone swarm detection using ultrafast neural networks; a $1.99 million definitive contract with the Missile Defense Agency (April 2026) for precision timing and target discrimination in multi-sensor fusion for missile defense; a $2.0 million SBIR Phase II award from the Army (September 2025) for an AI/ML platform for asset traceability and predictive maintenance; and a $2.25 million SBIR Phase II contract from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (June 2025) for physics-informed machine learning in maritime multi-sensor fusion.

R-Dex's customer base concentrates on Army agencies and defense research offices. By award count, the Department of the Army dominates with 12 awards ($31.8 million combined potential value), followed by Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (10 awards, $5 million), Air Force Research Laboratory (7 awards, $3 million), Naval Air Systems Command / Naval Air Warfare Center (6 awards, $2.5 million), and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (5 awards, $4.5 million). These top five customers account for 66% of recent awards. However, potential-value concentration is fundamentally reshaped by two large IDVs: the Air Force Lifecycle Management Center at Eglin (2 awards, $46 billion combined potential value under the Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract vehicle awarded March 2025) and Naval Sea Systems Command (4 awards, $4 billion under SeaPort Next Generation awarded January 2025). These two vehicles alone represent $50 billion of the company's $50.05 billion combined portfolio potential value, though only $38.3 million has been obligated across all awards to date.

R-Dex holds positions on four major indefinite-delivery vehicles: the $151 billion Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ with the Missile Defense Agency (awarded December 2025, full-and-open multiple-award), the $46 billion Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract with AFLCMC (March 2025, multiple-award), the $4 billion SeaPort Next Generation with Naval Sea Systems Command (January 2025, multiple-award), and a $15 million single-award Army IDC under the Expeditionary Technology Search (XTechSearch) SBIR Phase II Catalyst program (September 2023). R-Dex also maintains an $400,000 Other Transaction agreement with the Office of the Secretary of Defense for integrating its Responsible AI Toolkit with the Tactical Assault Kit and Machine Learning system (August 2024). Task order activity against these vehicles remains light; the largest parent vehicle by task order count carries only two orders.

Activity has grown materially year over year. R-Dex recorded three awards in 2022, ten in 2024, and twelve in 2025, with nine awards (combined potential value $14.9 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore subject to recompete. The company's award portfolio spans 49 SBIR/STTR research contracts (primary NAICS 541711, R&D in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), concentrated in applied research, basic research, and experimental development phases under National Defense R&D Services PSC codes. R-Dex has established collaborative relationships with the Georgia Tech Research Institute on STTR Phase II waveform development work and names TennLab as a subcontractor partner on Army neuromorphic algorithms for drone detection. The company's footprint across Army, Navy, and Air Force research offices, coupled with recent awards on two enterprise-scale IDVs, positions it as an active competitor in DoD innovation procurement rather than a volume production contractor.
