Terradepth, Inc.

Terradepth, Inc., a veteran-owned for-profit corporation based in Cedar Park, Texas, develops ocean-focused software and provides subsea survey and materials support services to defense and naval agencies primarily as a subcontractor (93% of recent awards), with a single prime award under Other Transaction Agreement authority from Naval Information Warfare Systems Command.

Terradepth's footprint is heavily concentrated in defense research and development. The vendor's only current prime contract is a $2.8 million OTA awarded May 20, 2026, by Naval Information Warfare Systems Command for development and delivery of the Absolute Ocean (AO) Software as a Service platform, with completion scheduled for May 19, 2027. The place of performance is Cedar Park, Texas. This agreement operates outside the Federal Acquisition Regulation under the Navy's Commercial Solution Opening Area of Interest #26-A001-UNIT and represents the vendor's primary visible prime-level footprint in recent years.

Terradepth's subcontractor position anchors it to defense technology programs. The vendor supplies materials and engineering support under Pacmar Technologies LLC on multiple Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency programs including the Manta Ray Phase 2 and various DARPA research projects (nine awards across 2024). Additionally, Terradepth provides subsea survey and recovery services to Phoenix International Holdings, Inc. in support of NAVSEA operations, maritime surveying support to Science Applications International Corporation on the Unmanned Maritime Vehicle Command and Control (UMVC2) program at Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific, software licensing support to Applied Research Associates, Inc., and seabed payload insertion and delivery support to Chesapeake Technology International Corp. under a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Small Business Innovation Research Phase III effort. The vendor also holds a sub-grant award from the University of Rhode Island on the Ocean Exploration Cooperative Institute Year 6 effort funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Customer concentration by agency includes the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (8 awards), the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command (2 awards, $2.8 million combined potential value), the Department of the Army Space and Missile Defense Command (2 awards), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (1 award), and the Naval Sea Systems Command (1 award). The vendor operates under the One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services vehicle and subordinate IDCs. Activity peaked in 2024 with ten awards but has decelerated to three in 2025 and two in 2026. One award—the Absolute Ocean OTA—reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represents recompete exposure.

The high cost of ocean data collection is attributed to expensive costs of attending crewed surface vessels. Terradepth's solution to scaled ocean data collection focuses on three areas of innovation to reduce the reliance on these surface assets: unmatched endurance, in-stride AI-aided Automatic Target Recognition, navigational accuracy and acoustic comms.

These innovations are incorporated into a hybrid autonomous surface and underwater vehicle, termed an 'AxV'. Our single variant, dual domain vehicle can operate at the surface and submerged and conducts missions as a collaborative swim-pair. The AxV pairs are designed to carry survey payloads for high-res bathymetry, imagery and water column profiling. The vehicle's are capable of swapping roles. With one vehicle on the surface and one submerged, the swim pair can work collaboratively with additional swim pairs, offering an autonomous fleet of vehicles conducting missions on the surface and in the deep ocean.
