Trac9 LLC

Trac9 LLC, doing business as Trac9, is a Huntsville, Alabama–based small business limited liability company that designs and manufactures Advanced Deployable Aircraft Maintenance Shelters (ADAMS) and related modular infrastructure systems for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor, competing under full-and-open solicitations with no set-aside designations across its prime footprint (95% of recent awards).

Trac9's capability portfolio centers on portable, modular shelter systems engineered for military aircraft maintenance and emergency response operations. The company has built its federal practice on Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program Phase III awards, which transition prototype technologies into fielded operational systems. Representative work includes a $2.81 million Definitive Contract (SBIR Phase III) from Pacific Air Forces for 36 ADAMS units supporting the 36th Maintenance Group and 36th Operations Group at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, awarded September 2025; a $2.93 million Definitive Contract from Pacific Air Forces for 36 Advanced Deployable Aircraft Maintenance Shelters, awarded September 2023; a $1.95 million SBIR Phase II Sequential Definitive Contract from the Air Force for enhancing ADAMS operational capabilities, awarded August 2023; and a $1.25 million STTR Phase III Definitive Contract for ADAMS development and delivery, awarded October 2023. Trac9 also manufactures inflatable shelter systems with integrated solar power generation for emergency response and disaster relief, as exemplified by a $345,900 purchase order from Air Force Reserve Command, awarded January 2025.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Air Force commands. The top customers by both award count and dollar potential value account for 100% of combined potential value: the Department of the Air Force holds 7 awards worth $978.7 million combined potential value, followed by Pacific Air Forces with 4 awards ($6.4 million), Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory with 2 awards ($1.5 million), Air Force Reserve Command with 2 awards ($1.4 million), and Air Education and Training Command with 1 award ($475 thousand). The single largest vehicle position is a $151 billion Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded by the Missile Defense Agency on January 21, 2026, for the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program, a multiple-award IDIQ covering research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, and cybersecurity across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid defense domains through December 2035. Trac9 also holds position on the Rapid Sustainment Directorate Multi-Award Contract (RO MAC), a $975 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract from the Air Force running through July 2033, which has issued one $1 thousand task order for contract kickoff.

Award activity has been episodic: one award in 2022, six in 2023, five in 2024, four in 2025, and two in 2026. The combined potential value across all awards stands at $989 million, though only $13.2 million (1% of potential) has been obligated to date, reflecting the early-stage status of both the SHIELD and RO MAC vehicles and the Phase III SBIR/STTR contract portfolio. Trac9 maintains minimal subcontract exposure, with one sub-award under Astrion Group, LLC for an ADAMS shelter with optional decking and groundsheet delivery and installation, dated October 2023. Work is categorized primarily under NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) for fourteen awards and under prefabricated metal building manufacturing and aircraft parts manufacturing for four awards combined.
