The Dcode Group Inc.

The Dcode Group Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business and woman-owned small business based in Washington, D.C., provides innovation consulting, technology transition support, and training services to the Department of Defense and federal health agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). The firm is a Subchapter S corporation specializing in bridging commercial technology with federal programs through SBIR and STTR Phase III research commercialization, innovation governance, human capital modernization advisory, and strategic training curriculum delivery.

Dcode's customer footprint concentrates heavily on defense technology transition. The top five funding agencies account for 79% of combined potential value, led by the Department of the Air Force Headquarters (4 awards, $57.6 million combined potential value), the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (3 awards, $32.9 million), and the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center (1 award, $22.4 million). By award count, the Air Force Research Laboratory dominates at 9 awards valued at $5.9 million combined potential value, followed by Naval Sea Systems Command and the Defense Health Agency. The two rankings diverge sharply — a handful of large Defense Department leadership awards dwarf the volume of smaller research-focused task orders, indicating Dcode competes for both strategic advisory contracts and distributed innovation-training delivery orders across multiple DoD components.

Dcode holds five named parent vehicles anchoring its business model. A $45 million SBIR Phase III Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Department of the Air Force (awarded September 30, 2021, expiring September 29, 2026) has generated 11 task orders valued at $43.5 million. A $9 million SBIR Phase III Blanket Purchase Agreement with Air Education and Training Command (awarded September 1, 2021, expiring August 31, 2026) carries 18 task orders valued at $7.5 million. A Naval Supply Systems Command Basic Ordering Agreement carries 2 task orders valued at $33.3 million through December 3, 2028. A $9 million SBIR Phase III Blanket Ordering Agreement with the Defense Health Agency runs through July 25, 2026. Most recently, Dcode was awarded a Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ by the Missile Defense Agency on January 21, 2026, with a ten-year performance period through December 28, 2035, establishing a framework for rapid issuance of delivery orders across defense modernization domains including systems engineering, cybersecurity, and advanced technology integration.

Recent representative prime work includes a $19.3 million total small business set-aside definitive contract awarded March 13, 2026, by the Department of the Army's Acquisition Support Center to establish and operate DCODE support of the Joint Industry-Government Operations Partnership (JIOP), enabling rapid identification, acquisition, integration, and fielding of technologies in support of Army transformation — the largest active award and a recompete exposure point given its March 2031 completion. Dcode holds a $7.77 million delivery order (August 15, 2025) from the Army's System of Systems Integration Directorate for emerging technology engagement and integration supporting Headquarters Department of the Army, performed at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. The firm delivers human capital information technology modernization and automation strategy for the United States Space Force S1A directorate under a $7.62 million delivery order (July 7, 2025, expiring July 6, 2029) from the Department of the Air Force. An Air Force Research Laboratory $1.9 million SBIR Phase II award (October 1, 2025, expiring January 1, 2027) addresses rapid acquisition and integration of a Space Force human resource presentation layer. Dcode also provides Cyber Academic Engagement Office advisory support to the Secretary of the Air Force at $6.47 million (September 25, 2024, expiring September 24, 2026).

Activity has contracted modestly over the past three years — 12 awards in 2023 to 6 in 2025 — though the dollar magnitude of recent awards has grown sharply with the addition of the $22.4 million Army JIOP award and the underlying $45 million Air Force IDIQ vehicle. Six awards carrying combined potential value of $56.2 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore represent near-term recompete exposure. Dcode competes across both set-aside and full-and-open categories; recent awards split between total small business set-asides (Army JIOP, Army innovation training, Army DEVCOM design and communications support) and unrestricted vehicles, reflecting simultaneous pursuit of reserved and unrestricted capacity across innovation-consulting and training-delivery pillars. The vendor's capability portfolio concentrates on professional services around innovation governance, technology vetting, transition advisory, and strategic training curriculum — work codified under NAICS 611710 (Educational Support Services, 19 awards) and 541690 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services, 15 awards). Dcode demonstrates no subcontractor footprint in the source data and operates as a pure prime across all named awards, positioning it as a direct competitor on defense innovation and human capital modernization vehicles rather than as a teaming resource or sub-tier vendor.
