Spire Global Subsidiary, Inc.

Spire Global Subsidiary, Inc., doing business as Spire Global, is a for-profit space-based Earth observation data and analytics company headquartered in Vienna, Virginia, operating primarily as a prime contractor (53% of recent awards) across civilian space and defense agencies, with no SBA set-aside designations across the prime footprint. The vendor is a subsidiary of IMT Holdings Corp. and has a named subsidiary, Spire Global Federal, Inc.

Spire Global's capability portfolio centers on satellite-derived data products and space-based services. The company operates a constellation of small satellites delivering near-real-time global navigation satellite system (GNSS) radio occultation profiles for weather forecasting and climate monitoring, automatic identification system (AIS) and automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) data for maritime domain awareness and aviation surveillance, and related Earth observation analytics to support federal science, weather, and defense missions. Representative prime work includes a $476 million NASA Commercial SmallSat Data Acquisition (CSDA) Program IDIQ awarded October 4, 2023, for delivery of commercial smallsat Earth observation data products to support NASA's Science Mission Directorate; a $59.3 million National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Radio Occultation Data Buy II (RODB-2) multiple-award IDIQ awarded March 27, 2023, for near-real-time GNSS radio occultation profiles, with recent delivery orders including an $11.2 million firm fixed-price order awarded September 18, 2025, for 3,000 daily profiles over one year; and a $237.6 million Air Force Research Laboratory Space Test Experiments Platform 2.0 (STEP 2.0) multiple-award IDIQ awarded April 30, 2025, for spacecraft and space vehicle integration services. Spire also holds a $151 billion multiple-award IDIQ from the Missile Defense Agency (Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense, or SHIELD) awarded December 29, 2025, for multi-domain defense systems spanning research, prototyping, systems engineering, and modernization across classified and unclassified work.

Customer concentration is dominated by space agencies and civilian weather-data customers. NASA Headquarters accounts for 13 awards carrying $519.5 million in combined potential value; the Air Force Research Laboratory accounts for 5 awards worth $253.2 million; NOAA accounts for 20 awards worth $140.7 million; and the Department of the Navy Office of Naval Research accounts for 52 awards worth $50 thousand. The gap between Navy volume (52 awards) and dollars ($50 thousand) reflects numerous small research agreements; NASA and AFRL dominate the dollars, while NOAA and Navy split volume. Across the top five customers (86% of recent awards), the Navy Office of Naval Research, NOAA, NASA, and the Air Force Research Laboratory represent the active set, with a secondary cluster of smaller awards from the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, Department of State, and Maritime Administration.

Spire Global holds seats on multiple government-wide and agency-specific vehicles. The One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS) Small Business vehicle carries 51 task orders; the NASA CSDA Program IDIQ carries 2 task orders worth $7.9 million; the NOAA RODB-2 IDIQ carries 4 task orders worth $19.9 million; and the Air Force STEP 2.0 IDIQ carries delivery orders under its $237.6 million ceiling. Spire also holds a $45 million NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center Flight Opportunities Program IDIQ awarded March 1, 2024, for suborbital and hosted orbital flight and payload integration services, and a $350 thousand Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Other Transaction IDV (Ouija TA-1 Program) awarded September 21, 2022, for design, build, launch, and operation of very-low-Earth-orbit satellites.

Activity trajectory shows elevated award volume in 2022 (44 awards) declining to single-digit annual awards in 2024–2025 (12 and 8 awards respectively), with one award in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across all 111 recent awards sits at $961.7 million, of which $117.6 million (12%) has been obligated. Four awards worth $17.3 million total reach completion in the next twenty-four months, representing moderate recompete exposure relative to the large ceiling values on IDIQ vehicles that drive the bulk of the vendor's contract portfolio.

Spire Global operates as a prime contractor on the majority of its recent work; SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold was $12.4 million in FY2022 and $25 million in FY2023, with no SCI-reportable invoicing in FY2024. The SCI dataset shows minimal FTE deployment (0.5 FTEs in FY2022) and no subcontractor hour engagement across SCI-reportable prime contracts. The vendor subcontracts to Mitre Corporation (economic analytics task order, June 2024) and Assurance Technology Corp (multiple automatic identification system modifications, 2022), though the sub-award portfolio represents a minor portion of overall activity. Most recent visible sub work is clustered in the 2022 timeframe against Assurance Technology Corp.

NAICS concentration runs toward research and development (51 awards under NAICS 541712 — Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences excluding Biotechnology), with secondary clusters in computing infrastructure and professional technical services. The vendor competes under full and open competition across its prime portfolio, with no recurring set-aside designations, though a $14 million Air Force Research Laboratory Sequential SBIR Phase II definitive contract awarded June 28, 2024, and several NOAA purchase orders carry total small business set-aside language. This asymmetry suggests Spire Global qualifies as a small business under certain PSC and NAICS categories while competing full-and-open on larger space and satellite data vehicles.

Rapidly Refreshed Satellite-based data. Spire offers data that delivers deep insights into the parts of the world where collecting data is notoriously difficult. Traditional ship tracking coverage requires the ship be within 50 miles of a tracking tower. In remote areas, like the deep ocean or regions without excellent infrastructure, ships would normally go unwatched. Spire's products, like Spire Sense, excel in covering the three quarters of the planet that are typically neglected.
