The Probitas Project, Inc. has established a robust portfolio of prime federal contract awards totaling approximately $4.3 million in combined ceiling values across three active contracts. The company was awarded a $209,574.83 Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I contract by the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command to conduct research on rapid identification of aerosol particles through electrochemical characterization infused with machine learning, with performance scheduled for completion by March 31, 2026. Additionally, The Probitas Project, Inc. received a $1,967,173.55 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract from Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) to support the Space Based Infrared System High (SBIRS High) Major Defense Acquisition Program, involving research, development, engineering, and algorithm design for radar system optimization, with subcontractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation and academic partners from the University of Colorado and University of Minnesota. The company also holds a $167,493.00 firm-fixed-price purchase order from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) for STTR Phase I research and algorithm determination services. All three contracts are designated as total small business set-asides, reflecting the company's qualification and competitive positioning within the small business federal contracting community.

The Probitas Project, Inc. has secured one prime federal grant award totaling $256,496 from the Department of Energy under its Office of Science Financial Assistance Program. This project grant supports the integration of light scattering, fluorescence, and holography with machine learning for the characterization of coarse and biological aerosols, specifically developing the Course Aerosol Detection System (CADS) for continuous, real-time classification and characterization of individual coarse mode and biological particles in the atmosphere. The Desert Research Institute serves as a sub-awardee partner on this grant initiative, which is scheduled for completion by February 17, 2026. This grant award demonstrates the company's capability in advancing scientific research relevant to areas including quantum information science, advanced computing, and materials research.

The Probitas Project, Inc. holds a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Federal Supply Schedule contract (47QRAA22D0027) awarded by the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service, effective from November 22, 2021, through November 21, 2026, with a ceiling value of $4,000,000.00. The contract encompasses nine Special Item Numbers covering engineering services, engineering research and development, and order-level materials, structured with hourly labor rates across nine professional categories including chief engineer, principal analyst, and senior subject matter expert positions.
