About the company

4M Research, Inc., an SBA-certified women-owned small business headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, operates predominantly as a subcontractor (85% of recent awards) delivering systems engineering, independent validation and verification, and aviation-missile modeling and simulation services to the Department of the Army and NASA. The company competes under women-owned small business set-asides on vehicles such as the OASIS+ WOSB IDIQ and GSA Multiple Award Schedule, and recently secured a full-and-open $151 billion Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ from the Missile Defense Agency with an initial $500 delivery order dated December 29, 2025.

4M Research holds two IDVs as prime: the SHIELD IDIQ (10-year performance window through December 28, 2035, supporting multi-domain defense research and development, systems engineering, prototyping, test and evaluation, and cybersecurity across classified and unclassified programs) and the OASIS+ Women-Owned Small Business IDIQ awarded by GSA on June 12, 2025 (ceiling no specified cap, extending through June 11, 2030, enabling task orders for IV&V engineering, systems engineering support, program management, and software development across federal agencies nationwide). The majority of recent subcontract work flows through Torch Technologies Inc. as prime, where 4M Research delivers engineering services for the Army's Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center (AMRDEC), the Future Vertical Lift program, hardware-in-the-loop simulation systems, and aviation-missile modeling and analysis supporting the Center's Software, Simulation, Systems Engineering and Integration Directorate. The vendor also subs to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on the Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) production effort and to Teledyne Brown Engineering on the Marshall Operations Systems, Services, and Integration II (MOSSI II) program.

Recent prime work includes a $9.9 million woman-owned small business BPA call with NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (award date May 15, 2022, ultimate completion November 14, 2026) for independent validation and verification engineering supporting the Huntsville Operations Support Center ground systems on a firm fixed-price basis. The vendor's prime footprint also carries work under a woman-owned small business set-aside on the Multiple Award Schedule and the recently established SHIELD contract.

Customer concentration reflects Army-dominant exposure. The top three funding agencies account for 89% of recent awards by count: the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center Program Executive Office for Missiles and Space (42 awards), the Department of the Army (18 awards), and the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (17 awards). By combined potential value, the Department of the Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command dominates at $856.4 million across two awards, followed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center ($19.8 million across three awards) and the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information Systems ($6.8 million across two awards).

Activity has accelerated sharply: three awards in 2021 and 2022–2023 each, followed by 45 awards in 2024 and 25 in 2025 through mid-year. Only one award (combined potential value $9.9 million) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's NAICS concentration centers on Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (59 awards), with secondary depth in Engineering Services (20 awards) and Other Computer Related Services (six awards).

GSA Schedule labor rates span $49.79 to $253.45 per hour across 62 active categories, with administrative and program analyst roles at the lower end and senior engineer and scientist roles (doctorate-level, 17-plus years experience, security-cleared) commanding rates around $253.45/hr. SCI-reported invoiced revenue (prime contracts only) carried no billable amounts in FY2022–FY2024, though FTE deliveries to federal customers on reportable prime contracts totaled 21.1 FTEs in FY2022, 0 in FY2023, and 28.4 FTEs in FY2024. The vendor maintains two named subsidiaries: 4TH Axis LLC (joint venture women-owned small business) and MTC UAR LLC (women-owned small business).
