Why primes team with us
- Satisfy small business subcontracting goals — SBA small business, minority-owned, Iowa-based. Substantive scope, not pass-through.
- Real AI/ML capability — not a staff-aug shop wearing an AI label. Kaggle Top 200 founder, production ML at SAMHSA.
- SAM.gov registered & ready — UEI Y2JVCZXT9HP5, CAGE 1AYQ0, NAICS 541512. No registration scramble at proposal time.
- Past performance — federal production systems, not just PowerPoint.
- Fast & low-friction — one-person decision loop. Teaming agreements, NDAs, and scope negotiations close in days, not months.
Ways we team
- SBIR / STTR subcontractor — AI/ML scope on primes' SBIR proposals. See SBIR page.
- Prime task order subcontractor — AI/ML components of large vehicle task orders.
- BAA / OTA team member — research-heavy AI topics.
- Teaming on small business set-asides — we prime, prime we've teamed with is mentor/partner.
- Workshare partnerships — AI workload to us, domain/logistics to prime.
What we need from you
- Topic number or solicitation reference
- Rough scope of the AI/ML work you want us to carry
- Timeline for proposal response
- NDA if the scope is sensitive (we sign quickly)
We'll respond within 24 hours with a fit assessment and proposed workshare.
What we don't do
- Pass-through small-business fronting — real scope only. Fronting is illegal and reputationally toxic.
- Unlimited exclusivity — we team on specific opportunities, not blanket exclusive arrangements.
- Bid-and-proposal work without a path to award — we invest serious proposal effort; we expect you to be committed to winning.
