Stacs DNA Inc.

Stacs DNA Inc., a Canadian for-profit software manufacturer, delivers forensic DNA database management software and maintenance services to federal law enforcement as a prime contractor exclusively — all 36 awards in the source footprint are prime contracts or delivery orders under prime IDCs, with no subcontract work. The vendor operates from Ottawa, Ontario, and competes full and open (no set-aside designations across the footprint) against an undifferentiated market. Stacs DNA is a subsidiary of Hematerra Technologies, LLC, a Baltimore-based parent entity.

Stacs DNA's capability portfolio centers on the Sample Tracking and Control System (STACS) software suite — a forensic DNA database platform used by federal law enforcement for managing and tracking DNA database information to support criminal investigations. The vendor provides software licensing, maintenance, enhancements, and operations and maintenance support services. Representative work includes a $1.806 million delivery order from the FBI Headquarters Division (awarded April 24, 2025) for STACS DNA enhancements and operations and maintenance support through September 21, 2026; a $456.7 thousand order (September 26, 2024) from the same customer for travel and software maintenance; and recurring purchases from the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command for STACS-DB license maintenance ($104.9 thousand awarded June 1, 2024, and $110.1 thousand awarded June 1, 2025).

Customer concentration is extreme and binary. Two agencies account for 100% of awards: the Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division (23 awards, $25 million combined potential value) and the Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Command (13 awards, $2.9 million combined potential value). The FBI dominates by both volume and dollars, anchored by a $6 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) effective April 11, 2024, running through April 22, 2029, which serves as the parent vehicle for six task orders totaling $5.3 million in combined potential value. A second FBI-issued IDC (15F06724D0000581) carries five task orders totaling $3.5 million. All work is performed at Stacs DNA's Ottawa facility; the source does not list any alternate performance locations.

Award activity has been sporadic and thin. The vendor received two awards in 2019, one in 2021, four in 2024, two in 2025, and three in 2026 (including the most recent delivery order on September 22, 2026 for $808.9 thousand). Across the full footprint, $14.2 million has been obligated against $27.9 million in combined potential value (51% obligation rate), suggesting the source reflects both funded deliveries and option-year or renewal ceilings. Three awards (combined potential value $1.1 million) face completion within the next twenty-four months, creating moderate recompete exposure. The vendor has maintained a continuous federal footprint since its initial SAM.gov registration in 2009, indicating long-standing relationships with both the FBI and Army CIC but narrow customer diversification and negligible scale relative to prime systems integrators.
