Mag DS Corp

Mag DS Corp, doing business as Mag Aerospace, is a large-business prime contractor headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, delivering C5ISR systems integration, engineering support, programmatic management, and logistics expertise to the Department of Defense across multiple commands. The company operates predominantly as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) competing on full-and-open federal contracts with no set-aside designations, with a substantial seat on two government-wide vehicles: the $151 billion Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ awarded by the Missile Defense Agency in December 2025, and the OASIS+ Unrestricted MAC through December 2029.

Mag Aerospace's customer concentration is heavily Army-centric. The top five customer sub-organizations account for 99% of combined potential value, led by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground (14 awards, $85.65 billion combined potential value, anchored by a $274.3 million RS3 delivery order for PEO Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors programmatic and engineering support running through June 2027), the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (4 awards, $10 billion combined potential value), and the Army's PEO Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors (7 awards, $1.77 billion combined potential value). Tension between volume and dollars is acute: DISA places the second-highest award count (15 awards) but ranks fourth in dollar value at $707.6 million, while Aberdeen Proving Ground dominates both dimensions. Award-count analysis reveals a broader portfolio distributed across Defense Information Systems Agency (15 awards), the Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command (19 awards, $159.2 million), and the Army's Research Development and Engineering Command (9 awards, $381.1 million).

Mag Aerospace places most of its work under the Army's Responsive Strategic Sourcing for Services (RS3) IDIQ, with 13 task orders worth $1.35 billion combined potential value, and the Rapid Response Third Generation vehicle, with 21 task orders worth $1.44 billion combined potential value. Two other indefinite-delivery contracts (W15P7T06DH727 and HC104709D4000) carry 16 task orders worth $7.8 million combined. Representative delivery-order work includes a $49.97 million cost-plus-fixed-fee OASIS order for USEUCOM HEMP project technical support in Germany (base year and option periods through March 2029), a $43.9 million RS3 delivery order for 1st Special Forces Command (Airborne) JTAC program support at Eatontown, New Jersey (through March 2029), and a $195.4 million cost-plus-fixed-fee RS3 order for Army Futures Command C-FLEX cross-functional logistics and engineering support at Aberdeen Proving Ground (completed July 2024). Recent smaller work includes a $952 thousand RS3 delivery order for Army C5ISR Center system integration and security work (completed March 2027) and a $17.75 million RS3 order for Fixed Wing Project Office Special Electronic Mission Aircraft ISR training and mission support (completed July 2024).

Activity volume has compressed significantly. Awards per year declined from two in 2021 to one in 2024, with only two awards in 2025 (including the December 2025 SHIELD IDIQ award). Combined potential value across all 116 awards reaches $99.53 billion, but only $2.27 billion (2%) is obligated to date. The recompete exposure window is narrow: two awards worth $275.3 million combined face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The portfolio concentrates in Engineering Services NAICS (62 awards), followed by Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (18 awards), with primary PSC drivers centered on Support-Professional Engineering/Technical (50 awards) and Housekeeping-Facilities Operations Support (11 awards).

On SCI-reportable federal service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold, Mag Aerospace invoiced $508.4 million across FY2022–FY2024: $187.4 million in FY2022 (526 FTEs), $161.5 million in FY2023 (463 FTEs), and $159.5 million in FY2024 (540 FTEs). Government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $99.35 per hour to a 90th percentile of $268.37 per hour, with a median of $117.79 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors executed 38% of total contractor hours, with 134 named subcontractors reported. Notable subs include Northrop Grumman, Leidos, and Sierra Nevada Corporation on larger prime tasks, along with specialized vendors such as Kymeta Corporation and Blue Sky Network for satellite systems, Simradios Inc. and Falcom LLC for tactical communications, CDW Government and Dell Federal Systems for computing hardware, and Quiet Professionals LLC (SDVOSB) providing training and technical services. On Battelle Memorial Institute primes, Mag Aerospace subcontracts test and evaluation labor support. The company's teaming pattern reflects a build-own-deliver model supplemented by specialized subcontractor engagement to fill sector-specific and equipment-procurement gaps.
