Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- OA's website updated July 21, 2026 shows active growth under SMX.
- In December 2025, OA won a SciTec subcontract on the $259 million FORGE EOS contract.
- June 2026 federal data shows $18.0 million obligations, with $16.3 million from GSA.
What critics are saying
- OA relies heavily on Space Force and GSA work; 2026 revenue concentration is dangerous.
- As an SMX subsidiary since 2023, OA risks dilution inside Digital Solutions Group.
- A FORGE or DAVE recompete loss in 2026-2027 would crush OA's standalone relevance.
What makes Outside Analytics unique
- OA builds government-owned mission software like SOFA and FORGE for Space Force.
- Its 80-plus Colorado engineers focus on real-time sensor processing and visualization.
- OA combines geospatial analytics, digital twins, and mission data pipelines for national security.
