Via Science Inc.

Via Science Inc., a small disadvantaged business headquartered in Somerville, Massachusetts, delivers artificial intelligence, blockchain-based data security, electric vehicle fleet optimization, and renewable energy coordination software to the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy as a prime contractor (92% of recent awards) operating predominantly under small business set-asides.

Via Science's customer concentration is dominated by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, which accounts for $251.6 million of the vendor's $302.4 million combined potential value across all awards through a single $249 million multiple-award Basic Ordering Agreement with the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC). That BOA, awarded March 11, 2022, and running through March 10, 2027, funds comprehensive AI development services including project management, data science, data engineering, data architecture, synthetic data generation, data anonymization, and enterprise information management. The remaining 92% of awards split among the Department of the Air Force research and operational commands — the Air Force Research Laboratory (9 awards, $26 million combined potential value), Air Mobility Command (4 awards, $20.4 million), and Air Education and Training Command — and the Department of Energy Office of Science (3 awards). The rankings reveal material tension: the JAIC BOA dominates potential value but represents only three of twenty-four total awards, while Air Force Research Laboratory awards outnumber any other customer agency by count but carry far lower individual ceiling values.

Via Science's core capability footprint centers on EJARVIS, an electric vehicle fleet optimization and energy resiliency platform developed over multiple SBIR and STTR Phase II and Phase III cycles. Representative work includes a $7.29 million Phase III SBIR award from Air Mobility Command (July 8, 2025) for EJARVIS fleet optimization milestones, a $5.8 million Phase III award from Air Mobility Command (June 30, 2026) for EJAM expansion and parameter range validation, a $3.82 million Phase III SBIR award from Air Force Research Laboratory (August 25, 2025) tracking thirteen distinct milestones of EJARVIS development, and a $1.5 million purchase order from Air Force Research Laboratory (February 1, 2023) for EJARVIS R&D. Beyond EJARVIS, Via Science holds a $2.6 million OTA from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (May 1, 2023) for multi-level security and blockchain-based data federation, a $750,000 STTR Phase II award from Air Force Research Laboratory (March 9, 2022) for the Recruiting Optimization and Analysis Dashboard leveraging Web3 privacy technology, and a $239,992 SBIR Phase I award from Naval Sea Systems Command (June 26, 2025) for Space-Based Infrared System research. In the grant space, Via Science has received three Project Grants from the Department of Energy Office of Science (CFDA 81.049) totaling approximately $200,000 each for zero-knowledge proof research on distributed energy resource verification and solar resource coordination using smart contracts and blockchain.

Activity scaled from three awards in 2022 to a peak of six in 2024, with recent output declining to three awards in 2026 and four in 2025 — a year-over-year decline from 2024 that may reflect increased focus on task orders against the JAIC BOA rather than new prime awards. Six awards (combined potential value $28.2 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure concentrated in Air Mobility Command EJARVIS work. Via Science subcontracts to Science Applications International Corporation on a Web3 data-sharing assessment for Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic (January 21, 2025) and to KBR Wyle Services on transformational improvement force pilots for Program Executive Office Digital (December 20, 2024). The vendor's top NAICS concentration aligns with its capability delivery: Software Publishers (10 awards) and Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (5 awards).

Via Science operates as a for-profit corporate entity with a consistent small disadvantaged business designation across its prime award footprint. The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on SBIR and STTR vehicles; only three of twenty-two prime awards carry no set-aside designation (the JAIC BOA, the Department of Defense OTA, and one Air Force Research Laboratory purchase order).
