About Relative Dynamics Inc.
Relative Dynamics Inc., an SBA 8(a) certified, minority-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Laurel, Maryland, develops advanced optical communication, satellite, and space technology systems for federal agencies as a prime contractor (53% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on NASA and defense programs. The company is a Subcontinent Asian American-owned Subchapter S corporation operating under NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), with two subsidiaries: Applied Dynamic Engineering Excellence, LLC and Relavim, LLC (minority-owned, small disadvantaged business).
Relative Dynamics' capability portfolio centers on photonic and optical communication technologies, satellite systems engineering, guidance-navigation-and-control systems, and advanced space hardware development. Prime work includes a $7.68 million firm fixed-price delivery order awarded January 20, 2026 by NOAA under ProTech 2.0 - Satellite Domain for Radio Frequency Interference Monitoring System (RFIMS) operations, maintenance, and software sustainment through November 2028. The company also holds a $1.7 million Other Transaction Agreement from the Air Force for the Ground Optical Communication Array Terminal (GOCART) project through November 2025, and a $834,742 SBIR Phase II contract from NASA Shared Services Center for long-range optical telecommunications research. Earlier Phase I and Phase II SBIR awards span optical communication terminals, metalens near-infrared telescopes, balloon lasercom terminals, and optical communication array transceivers, with contract values ranging from $84,970 to $834,742 across 2022–2025.
Relative Dynamics' customer concentration is heavily anchored by NOAA, which accounts for the entire $8.01 billion combined potential value across just four awards — the lion's share sitting in the ProTech 2.0 - Satellite Domain IDIQ ($8 billion ceiling, 2023–2028), a small-business-set-aside multiple-award vehicle for satellite, fisheries, oceans, weather, and climate services. NASA Shared Services Center is the second-largest customer by count (13 awards, $2.9 million combined potential value), followed by NASA Goddard Space Center (14 awards, count only), the Air Force Space Command Space and Missile Systems Center (2 awards), and the Missile Defense Agency (2 awards). The top five customers account for 88% of award count; NOAA's outsized dollar share reflects a single high-ceiling vehicle rather than transaction volume.
Relative Dynamics holds two named parent vehicles: the ProTech 2.0 - Satellite Domain IDIQ under NOAA (2 task orders, $7.7 million combined potential value) and a new position on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ awarded by the Missile Defense Agency on December 29, 2025 (151 billion multi-domain defense ceiling, 2025–2035, full-and-open competition), on which the company received an initial $500 delivery order.
Activity grew sharply in 2024 (16 awards) from prior years' baseline of 4–6 awards annually, then dropped to five awards in 2025 and one in 2026. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $150 thousand), limiting near-term recompete exposure. Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts (covering invoiced revenue above the $150,000 threshold), Relative Dynamics shows zero invoiced dollars in FY2022–FY2024, reflecting the company's concentration in research contracts and firm fixed-price delivery orders not yet invoiced at the time of SCI reporting; FTE trajectory in SCI records shows 3.8 FTEs in FY2022, zero in FY2023, and 22.3 FTEs in FY2024, signaling FY2024 subcontractor engagement growth.
In its subcontractor role, Relative Dynamics provides systems engineering support to McCalie Associates, Inc. under the Systems Engineering Advanced Services II (SEAS II) vehicle (multiple awards through 2024), multidiscipline engineering services to Space Network Solutions LLC and Range Generation Next LLC supporting NASA and Air Force test and launch ranges, and electrical/electronic engineering support to Columbus Technologies and Services, Inc. for space flight and ground system hardware development. The company also subcontracts through Aerodyne-SGT Engineering Services, LLC under the MISTII multidisciplinary engineering IDIQ for NASA, and through prime contractors on NASA safety and mission assurance (SA3) and NASA Ames project-engineering-support contracts. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor performs zero sub-contracted hours share, indicating internal delivery of SCI-captured work.
