Sentenai Inc.

Sentenai Inc. is a for-profit technology company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, specializing in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced data engineering solutions for federal government clients. The company has established itself as a strategic technology partner for the Department of Defense and related federal agencies, leveraging its expertise in data analytics, automation, and decision-support systems to address complex national security requirements. Since registering with SAM.gov in October 2018, Sentenai has successfully competed for and secured multiple federal contract awards across the Department of the Navy, Department of the Air Force, and related commands, positioning itself as an established vendor within the federal contracting ecosystem.

Sentenai's federal contract award history demonstrates a consistent focus on data engineering, automation, and AI-driven analytical solutions across multiple Department of Defense agencies. The company has received six prime federal contract awards with a combined ceiling value exceeding $1.6 million, including Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III contracts from the Air Force Research Laboratory, Air Force Materiel Command, Naval Sea Systems Command, and Naval Air Warfare Center. These awards span from 2021 through 2026 and include a $900,000 SBIR Phase II purchase order for automated data preparation and fusion of Air Force operational data (awarded September 2021), a $199,000 SBIR Phase III contract for data engineering and analysis services (awarded September 2024), and a $239,749 SBIR Phase I contract for Space-Based Infrared System technology supporting the SBIRS High program (awarded July 2025). All of these contracts utilized either total small business set-asides or no set-aside designations and were structured as firm fixed-price agreements. Additionally, Sentenai received a $500 minimum guarantee task order under the Navy Seaport-NxG contract in March 2025. The company has also served as a subcontractor to Astrion Group, LLC, providing its Sentenai Platform Analysis Component software package and related documentation and integration specifications in 2021. This contract work demonstrates Sentenai's technical capabilities in delivering tangible software solutions and professional services to defense organizations.

Sentenai holds a prime position on the Seaport Next Generation (Seaport-NxG) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, a $4 billion multiple award contract vehicle administered by Naval Sea Systems Command with a performance period extending through January 1, 2029. As a small business contractor on this IDIQ, Sentenai is eligible to compete for task orders in professional services areas including artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics, data management, and automation. The Seaport-NxG contract enables Sentenai to pursue work across multiple Navy Systems Command partners without the constraints of a single-award vehicle, significantly expanding its potential to support Navy operations and modernization initiatives. The company also holds a position on the Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) IDIQ with the Air Force, valued at $950 million, which similarly provides opportunities for task order awards in support of the Air Force's next-generation integrated battle management network. These contract vehicles underscore Sentenai's established status as a qualified federal contractor and provide the company with substantial opportunities to expand its service delivery to Department of Defense customers beyond the discrete SBIR awards already executed.
