Silurian Ai Inc.

Silurian AI Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Kirkland, Washington, delivers foundation modeling and machine learning services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, with all three recent awards holding no set-aside designation.

The vendor's federal footprint is nascent and concentrated in two agencies. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration accounts for two awards totaling $607 thousand in combined potential value: a $607,387.84 firm fixed-price contract awarded November 1, 2025, supporting weather radar technology exploration for the National Weather Service under BAA Tier 2 SILURIAN (completion September 17, 2026), and a $189,149 NOAA Small Business Innovation Research Phase I grant awarded September 1, 2026, to develop post-trained foundation models for coastal hazard forecasting and hurricane prediction (completion February 26, 2027). The Naval Supply Systems Command issued a $25,000 purchase order on May 29, 2026, for a Foundation Modeling Workshop demo with same-day completion. NOAA's BAA Tier 2 solicitation, posted in December 2024, anticipated total awards of $200,000 to $1,000,000 across 5–15 contract awards to support modernization of the aging NEXRAD weather radar network. Silurian's SBIR Phase I work focuses on creating a validation framework and AI-ready multimodal datasets to post-train its GFT foundation model for sub-kilometer-level hurricane trajectory, intensity, precipitation, and flooding prediction with superior accuracy and speed compared to operational models. The work occurs in Kirkland, Washington, with combined obligated funding of $514 thousand (81% of combined potential value).

Activity shows two awards in 2026 following the first award in November 2025. One award—the SBIR Phase I grant—reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and faces potential continuation or recompete. The vendor has competed exclusively as a prime; no subcontract work appears in the recent footprint. Award categorization spans custom computer programming services and research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences, with a secondary labor classification for IT application development support.
