About The Critical Mass LLC

The Critical Mass LLC, a women-owned small business based in Alexandria, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor delivering specialized training support and technical consulting services to federal agencies under women-owned small business (WOSB) and veteran-owned small business (VOSB) set-asides. The vendor holds SBA certifications as a women-owned small business, veteran-owned small business, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (expiring March 25, 2027), and is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business. The Critical Mass LLC competes exclusively under set-aside authority, with 100% of recent awards reserved for women-owned or service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses.

The Critical Mass LLC's federal work centers on two distinct capability streams: detecting-deception and interviewing-technique training support, and technical hazard-analysis consulting for munitions engineering. The most substantial current vehicle is a $2.135 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection, awarded May 20, 2026, for detecting deception and eliciting response (DDER) role players at the CBP Advanced Training Center in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. The contract requires qualified role players with professional acting skills and cultural expertise (Latin American, South Asian, East Asian, and Middle Eastern backgrounds) to support rapport-based interviewing training, with up to 24 sessions annually, each requiring four role players for 3-4 days. CBP issued the first delivery order under this IDIQ on May 21, 2026, for $32,384, with performance through September 30, 2026. The vendor also holds a $755 thousand purchase order from the Department of the Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command, awarded August 9, 2024, for process hazard analyses and hazard-analysis-report generation supporting transition between 155mm munitions configurations (MEO 32 X-ray and MED-32 C4), with completion by December 31, 2026.

Customer concentration is narrow and government-weighted. The Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection accounts for $2.2 million (76% of combined potential value) across two awards. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command holds $755 thousand. The Department of State Bureau of International Nonproliferation accounts for two awards with no stated dollar value. Activity is sparse and episodic — one award in 2019, one in 2020, one in 2024, and two in 2026 — with a combined potential value of $2.9 million across five prime awards. Two awards totaling $787 thousand in potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore represent recompete exposure. The vendor carries a named subsidiary, Tcm-Kira Integrated Services LLC, certified as a women-owned small business joint venture and service-disabled veteran-owned small business joint venture.
