About the company
Soundthinking, Inc., doing business as SST, provides gunshot detection software subscriptions and expert witness services to federal law enforcement and defense agencies as a prime contractor operating under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations. The company is a for-profit corporate entity headquartered in Fremont, California, with a subsidiary, Forensic Logic LLC, certified as a self-certified small disadvantaged business. Soundthinking operates 100% as a prime contractor across its federal footprint; it carries no subcontract awards.
Soundthinking's concrete federal work centers on two distinct capability areas. The primary revenue stream is ShotSpotter software subscription services for gunshot detection — a $3.31 million definitive contract awarded by the U.S. Secret Service in September 2026 for placement in Washington, DC, running through September 2031 under firm fixed price, and a prior $1.02 million Secret Service contract expiring September 2026. The secondary stream is expert witness testimony and litigation support related to gunshot detection technology and law enforcement operations, exemplified by a $7,308 purchase order from the U.S. Attorney's Offices awarded in January 2026 for expert witness services (completion January 2028) and earlier expert engagements with the same office.
Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of Homeland Security's Secret Service, which accounts for $6 million (67% of combined potential value) across three awards, despite representing only three of twenty-nine total prime awards. This creates a customer-concentration reversal: by award count, the Department of Justice offices (U.S. Attorney's Offices, FBI Headquarters, ATF) dominate with thirteen awards but carry only $1.1 million in combined potential value. The divergence reflects the Secret Service's larger subscription and platform contracts versus the Justice offices' smaller expert witness engagements. The Department of the Navy and the Department of the Army round out the active customer set with smaller award volumes. Nine distinct federal agencies have placed awards.
Activity is sparse and episodic. The source shows two awards in 2026 following three in 2021 and one in 2020; prior years 2019 and 2016 carried two awards each. Combined potential value across all twenty-nine awards reaches $8.9 million, with $5.9 million (66%) obligated. One award valued at $7 thousand completes within the next twenty-four months, representing minimal recompete exposure. Soundthinking holds a seat on an Indefinite Delivery Contract (02C0684) with two task orders totaling $97 thousand. By NAICS and PSC coding, the award portfolio splits between miscellaneous alarm and security detection systems (seven awards), expert witness support (six awards), engineering services (five awards), and other measuring and controlling device manufacturing (four awards), reflecting the dual gunshot-detection and litigation-support business model.
