Technergetics, LLC

Technergetics, LLC, a certified small business headquartered in Utica, New York, operates as a prime contractor (88% of recent awards) and occasional subcontractor delivering advanced research and development, software engineering, and system integration services to defense agencies under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides across SBIR Phase I, II, and III awards, with select full-and-open work on larger IDIQ vehicles and the recently awarded Missile Defense Agency SHIELD contract.

Technergetics' capability footprint centers on defense logistics optimization, quantum computing research, artificial intelligence and machine learning applications, tactical digital platforms, and networked command-and-control systems. Concrete representative work spans the Precision Logistics and Advancement in Transportation Optimization (PLATO) program—a $99 million single-award Phase III SBIR IDIQ through September 2027 supporting Air Force transportation and kitting optimization; the Strategic Pursuit of Enterprise Advancement and Readiness (SPEAR) program—a $99 million single-award Phase III SBIR IDIQ through August 2027 delivering the JETDASH last-mile mobile delivery platform, HyperKit technical-order automation software, and global readiness analytics; a $7.455 million Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency cost-plus-fixed-fee effort in quantum networking security (SYNAPTIQ) running through September 2029; and a $1.24 million Air Force Research Laboratory Phase II SBIR award for the NOMAD logistics-optimization project. Additional Phase II and Phase IIB SBIR work includes HAZPRO hazardous-material mobile software ($1.245 million), JI-JOE digital joint inspection ($1.9 million), and Tactical Assault Kit Machine Learning Data platform development ($1.758 million). Technergetics also holds recent Army SBIR Phase I awards for quantum-enhanced RF components, Kerr-comb photonic chip design, and large-language-model API integration frameworks, each valued between $240,000 and $250,000.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Air Force and Air Force-derivative buyers. The top five funding agencies account for 85% of awards by count, led by the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (33 awards, $42 million combined potential value) and Air Force Headquarters District Washington (12 awards, $203 million combined potential value). However, the potential-value ranking reveals a distinct concentration cliff: the Department of the Air Force (parent agency designation on the SHIELD contract) holds three awards worth $1.9 billion combined potential value, anchored almost entirely by the December 2025 award of the Missile Defense Agency's Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ—a multiple-award, full-and-open contract with a $151 billion ceiling extending through December 2035 for multi-domain defense systems spanning air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat detection and neutralization. The Army has awarded six SBIR Phase I and Phase II contracts valued at $2.9 million combined, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency contributes $7.5 million. Activity has grown unevenly: twelve awards in 2022, declining to seven in 2023, rebounding to nineteen in 2024, then declining to eleven in 2025, with two awards recorded in 2026 to date. Six awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $7 million and presenting near-term recompete risk.

Technergetics positions itself on two $99 million single-award SBIR Phase III IDIQ vehicles—PLATO and SPEAR, both issued by District Washington in 2022 and running through 2027. These vehicles anchor the company's sustained delivery-order pipeline; documented task orders under PLATO total approximately $6.78 million across seven orders, and SPEAR task orders exceed $7.6 million across multiple awards. Two other IDIQs are referenced in the award data: Indefinite Delivery Contracts FA701422D0005 and FA701422D0006, each supporting eleven and seven task orders respectively totaling $6.2 million and $6.3 million combined potential value. The SHIELD IDIQ, awarded in December 2025, represents a structural pivot—Technergetics becomes a multiple-award IDIQ holder on a full-and-open, non-set-aside vehicle with a ten-year runway, alongside unspecified numbers of other contractors competing for task orders across the $151 billion ceiling.

In its subcontractor role, Technergetics delivers systems engineering, R&D, and software development to Booz Allen Hamilton on intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance modernization efforts (SSMARTT, NIMBUS, and ISR FIORE platforms) and to Kitware on automated-recognition and threat-cataloging services (ARC-TAK) under Tactical Assault Kit machine-learning capabilities. The company also performs software services to Agile Decision Sciences on tactical-code (TCODE) task areas and to CACI on full-spectrum ISR innovation and integration. SCI data shows minimal federal service-contract reporting—only three records across FY2022–FY2024, all in the sub capacity, representing roughly 1.9 to 6.4 FTEs annually—indicating that Technergetics' primary federal footprint flows through fixed-price SBIR research contracts and IDIQ delivery orders rather than through time-and-materials or cost-reimbursable labor contracts above the $150,000 SCI threshold. This posture suggests the company operates as a technology developer and integrator leaning on fixed-price risk allocation rather than as a staff-augmentation provider.
