Stacs DNA Inc.

Stacs DNA Inc., a Canadian for-profit software manufacturer headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, develops and delivers forensic DNA database management software and maintenance services to federal law enforcement agencies as a prime contractor on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis. The vendor is a subsidiary of Hematerra Technologies, LLC, a Baltimore-based parent company, and competes exclusively in the prime role — 100% of its recent awards are prime contracts or indefinite delivery vehicles, with no subcontract exposure.

Stacs DNA's federal footprint concentrates entirely on two customers: the FBI Headquarters Division (22 awards, $24.2 million combined potential value) and the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command (12 awards, $2.8 million combined potential value). This represents 100% coverage by both award count and dollar value. The FBI relationship anchors the business — a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $6.0 million, effective April 11, 2024 through April 22, 2029, procures the Sample Tracking and Control System (STACS) software, software maintenance, and system enhancements for federal law enforcement DNA database management. Four delivery orders totaling approximately $2.74 million have issued under this IDC since award, including a $1.81 million delivery order for STACS DNA enhancements and operations and maintenance support services awarded April 24, 2025, a $456.7 thousand delivery order for travel and software maintenance awarded September 26, 2024, a $286.7 thousand delivery order for software maintenance and enhancements awarded April 24, 2024, and a $136.8 thousand delivery order for software and maintenance services awarded April 24, 2026. The Army Criminal Investigation Command procures STACS-DB license maintenance and the Sample Tracking and Control System software through separate purchase orders and delivery orders; a recent $110.1 thousand purchase order for STACS software was awarded June 1, 2025, with completion through May 31, 2026.

Stacs DNA operates under two parent IDCs: the FBI Headquarters Division Indefinite Delivery Contract (DJFJFBI10200, 6 task orders, $5.3 million combined potential value) and a second FBI IDC contract 15F06724D0000581 (4 task orders, $2.7 million combined potential value). Activity has been sparse but consistent — the vendor has logged 34 awards since 2009, with recent years showing 2024: 4 awards, 2025: 2 awards, 2026: 1 award (as of April 2026). Two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry $1.9 million in combined potential value and represent the immediate recompete exposure. Work is performed at the contractor's Ottawa, Ontario facilities. The vendor's capability footprint is narrowly specialized: STACS forensic DNA database software, license maintenance, software enhancements, and operational support for criminal investigations.
