These are every prime contract USAspending.gov records under UEI QL96HMLNH8Y3, from its award search. For a company that is part of a parent company, USAspending's recipient page can show a different figure for a year, because it counts the company's own record and its parent's record separately.

SBA certifications let a business compete for set-aside contracts (set-asides explained). Check the current record on its SAM.gov entry.
How to check or correct this record
The file sometimes leaves a certification out, and a newer one won't be in it yet. Self-reported business types are what the firm says about itself on SAM.gov; they aren't SBA certifications. This page doesn't show SBA's VetCert certification for veteran-owned firms; SBA's search below does.
Check or correct this record at the source: open its SAM.gov entry, or search UEI QL96HMLNH8Y3 () in SAM.gov's entity search (free sign-in) and in SBA's Small Business Search (formerly DSBS), which shows SBA certifications including VetCert. The business can update its details in its SAM.gov registration and its certifications at certifications.sba.gov.
NAICS codes Metadata Forensics LLC is small under
On its SAM.gov registration, Metadata Forensics LLC meets the SBA size standard for these industries, so it can bid on small business set-asides that use them.
Open contracts in Metadata Forensics LLC's NAICS codes
53 open federal opportunities on SAM.gov use one of Metadata Forensics LLC's NAICS codes and may be open to it: no set-aside, or, in the codes it is registered small under, a small business set-aside or one for a status it reports about itself on SAM.gov (service-disabled veteran-owned). Here are a few, those in its primary code first (none of these are in Virginia right now), then the soonest due.
Confirm eligibility first. Metadata Forensics LLC's service-disabled veteran-owned status is self-reported on SAM.gov, and this page can't confirm an SBA certification for it, so set-asides for it may be relevant but may not be open to it: SDVOSB and VOSB set-asides need SBA VetCert certification. SBA's Small Business Search shows a firm's current certifications.
