TRAX International

What TRAX International does

TRAX International Corporation is a private technical services firm founded in 1979 and headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, that delivers professional and technical services to U.S. federal government agencies — primarily the Department of Defense — through three core service lines: Test & Evaluation, Engineering & IT, and Logistics & Outsourced Services. The company operates as a prime contractor at major Army test ranges including Yuma Proving Ground (35+ years of continuous presence), Aberdeen Proving Ground, and the Arctic and Tropic Regions Test Centers, with a mobile workforce of approximately 1,200-1,300 employees, including over 900 technical experts deployed across the U.S., Central and Latin America, and Asia. Recent major contract wins include the $726.9M YPG follow-on (March 2026), $692M Aberdeen Test Center award (June 2024), and $265M NASA Goddard Logistics contract (August 2024), supported by ISO 9001:2015 certification and a perfect 110/110 DoD DIBCAC cybersecurity score.

The company's wholly owned subsidiary, TRAX Energy Solutions, sells proprietary power plant simulation technology to commercial utilities globally. The core product is ProTRAX, a proprietary modular dynamic simulation system containing approximately 200 standard process modules and supporting modeling of coal, gas, biomass, hydroelectric, solar, and carbon capture systems. Surrounding the platform, TRAX offers ProTRAX Workbench, GCPARM graphical configuration tool, RTEXEC runtime executive, Remote Manager, and Simulator Maintenance Manager, alongside engineering services including Furnace Draft Analysis, Steam Studies, Carbon Capture Modeling, CFD studies, Hydro Optimization, and Energy Storage Analysis. TRAX has delivered over 300 operator training simulators worldwide and reaches international markets through partners including STEAG Energy Services (India/Africa), DXlabz (Korea), A1 Engineering (Korea), and ABB.

TRAX's revenue model combines long-term U.S. federal services contracts (secured via competitive bidding on vehicles including GSA OASIS+) with commercial Energy Solutions revenue from software licensing, simulator sales, and quote-based engineering studies. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the U.S. Army, with the federal civilian (NASA) and commercial utility segments providing diversification but at smaller scale.
