A dispute over payment for artificial intelligence software services has led to a lawsuit seeking $675,000 in damages and other relief. The complaint was filed by United Solutions, LLC, doing business as US AI, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia on March 11, 2026, against Kreative Technologies, LLC.
According to court documents, United Solutions alleges that it entered into a Subcontract Agreement with Kreative Technologies on September 9, 2024. Under this agreement, Kreative acquired use of US AI’s ‘Archangel’ product for deployment by the United States Small Business Administration (SBA) under Contract No. 47QTCB21D0365. The parties agreed to a fee schedule which included $1,407,000 for an initial base period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025 and $675,000 for an option period from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026.
The complaint states that the agreement allowed US AI to invoice Kreative for each period once confirmation was received from the SBA Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) that the software-as-a-service (SaaS) had been activated according to contract specifications. US AI asserts that such confirmation was received in 2024 and never withdrawn or altered by SBA OCIO. US AI invoiced Kreative timely for both periods: it was paid in full for the base period but not for the option period beginning October 1, 2025.
United Solutions claims that as of October 1, 2025 its Archangel product remained activated per contract requirements and invoiced Kreative accordingly. Despite this and without any communication indicating otherwise from Kreative regarding SBA OCIO’s confirmation status or contract changes, Kreative allegedly failed and refused to pay US AI’s invoice for the option period.
The filing further reports that publicly available information shows SBA fully paid Kreative for both years covered by the subcontract—including all amounts invoiced by US AI plus additional profit—while neither party terminated their respective contracts nor did Kreative refund any payments to SBA. United Solutions maintains it fully performed its obligations under the agreement and remains ready to continue performance through the remainder of the option period.
In Count I of its complaint—breach of contract—US AI alleges financial injury resulting directly from Kreative’s failure to pay $675,000 due under their agreement. In Count II—unjust enrichment—the plaintiff argues that even if no enforceable contract is found by the court, it conferred substantial benefit on Kreative by providing access to its Archangel product which enabled Kreative to obtain payment from SBA; yet US AI was not compensated while Kreative retained all funds received.
For both counts, United Solutions requests judgment against Kreative Technologies in the amount of $675,000 plus reasonable attorney’s fees and costs where applicable as well as pre- and post-judgment interest and any further relief deemed appropriate by the court.
