Industry profile based on NAICS activity
The largest NAICS concentration is 336414, Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing, with $1.17 billion across 414 awards, indicating that the vendor’s core work aligns with spacecraft and missile-related production. Supporting activity is distributed across sensor and navigation systems manufacturing, engineering services, and R&D in the physical and engineering sciences, suggesting a portfolio that combines manufacturing, systems integration, and technical development. The spread across multiple engineering and R&D NAICS codes points to recurring work beyond pure production.
Annual contract trend over the analysis window
Annual obligations in the visible recent years range from $210.67 million in 2023 to a high of $335.05 million in 2021, with 2024 and 2025 both remaining above $229 million. Award counts stayed elevated as well, with 218 to 317 awards per year in the same period. The pattern suggests sustained federal demand with year-to-year variability rather than a single surge or collapse.
How to interpret this page
This summary uses FPDS award data for the last 10 years and reflects obligated dollars, not estimated contract ceiling value. Agency and NAICS summaries are based on cumulative obligations and award counts within the analysis window. Annual trend statements are limited to the years provided in the source data and do not infer missing years or contract-specific performance details.
