About the company
Wolfram Research Inc., a Champaign, Illinois–based Subchapter S corporation, is a commercial software publisher that operates as a prime contractor on 493 federal awards (99% of its recent footprint) across 88 customer agencies, selling Mathematica mathematical and computational software licenses, renewals, maintenance, and related technical computing services to the federal government on full-and-open (non-set-aside) terms. The company has not pursued SBA certifications and competes in the open market.
Wolfram's federal capability portfolio centers on Mathematica software licensing, system upgrades, network server configurations, and support services. The software is widely distributed across defense and civilian agencies for complex calculations, data analysis, scientific modeling, and technical research. Representative recent work includes a $900.6 thousand Mathematica renewal contract with the U.S. Military Academy at West Point (awarded August 2022, extending through August 2027), a $567.1 thousand Knowledge Based Application Programming Interface (API) contract with the Department of Defense Education Activity (awarded September 2023), and a $264 thousand genomic data transparency toolset development contract with the Department of the Army Medical Command (awarded September 2022) that integrates Wolfram Language notebooks for genomic and clinical data processing and analysis. Smaller awards cluster in the $5,000 to $65,000 range for license renewals and maintenance subscriptions across Navy, Air Force, and civilian agencies.
Customer concentration is fragmented across 88 agencies, with the top five representing just 32% of awards by count and 58% of combined potential value. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center leads by dollar value (30 awards, $5.4 million combined potential value), while the Office of Naval Research leads by award count (43 awards, $304 thousand combined potential value). The Department of the Navy (Naval Sea Systems Command and Office of Naval Research combined) represents the largest customer segment, followed by Air Force Materiel Command, the Army, and NASA. This concentration split signals that Wolfram's customer base is defense-heavy in count but anchor-weighted toward NASA's volume buys.
Wolfram places task orders under a NASA Blanket Purchase Agreement (NNX14ME61Z) carrying 28 task orders and $342 thousand in combined potential value, with two other indefinite-delivery contracts representing minimal activity. The vendor maintains a minimal subcontract footprint (3 sub-awards, 1% of recent activity): support roles under Fluor Marine Propulsion on Naval Nuclear Laboratory operations, Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Lincoln Laboratory software maintenance, and Valkyrie Enterprises on MIT Lincoln Laboratory research and development.
Recent activity remains steady but modest — averaging 3.4 awards per year across 2022–2025, with only one award recorded in the first five months of 2026. The combined potential value of $15.1 million across 496 total awards (1993–present) reflects Wolfram's deep historical presence in federal markets but relatively low annual revenue from federal sources; $9 million in obligated dollars represents 60% of potential value. Three awards (combined potential value $1 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing minimal recompete risk. Wolfram's federal posture is that of a stable, niche vendor anchored to Mathematica renewals rather than a growth-oriented platform or services provider pursuing significant new wins or set-aside advantage.
