Why this call lands here

Valuable Past Performance

Can provide Qualifying Projects (QPs) to boost a Prime's scorecard.

Niche Capability Alignment

Specialized skills make the company an attractive subcontractor.

Prime Compliance Blockers

Missing Active Secret FCL and CMMC Level 2 prevent a Prime bid.

Path nuance

Non-prime path

Threat Tec is a highly attractive subcontractor offering $170M in DoD past performance and specialized mission engineering capabilities to boost a prime's scorecard.

What would make it actionable

Forming a Joint Venture could be an alternative if a partner holds the required clearances, provided the arrangement can be finalized before the May 2026 submission.

Recommended capture actions

  1. Conduct an immediate internal audit to definitively confirm the status of Facility Clearance (FCL) and CMMC Level 2 compliance.
  2. Identify top 5-10 MAPS Prime candidates (Large or Emerging Large) targeting the RDT&E or Engineering domains.
  3. Develop a subcontractor value proposition highlighting $170M+ DoD past performance and niche Wargaming/Threat Emulation capabilities.
