About the company
Adapt Forward LLC, a veteran-owned small business based in Alabama, operates as a prime contractor (75% of recent awards) on defense and homeland security programs, with emerging exposure to Navy and missile defense systems procurement. The company competes full-and-open across all recent awards with no set-aside designations, positioning itself as a small business capable of supporting classified and unclassified work in systems engineering, cybersecurity modernization, and technical management services.
Adapt Forward's near-term pipeline is heavily anchored to two massive defense vehicles. The Missile Defense Agency awarded Adapt Forward a seat on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ on December 29, 2025, carrying a $151 billion ceiling through December 28, 2035, with an initial delivery order for five hundred dollars based in Huntsville, Alabama. SHIELD is a multi-domain defense procurement vehicle covering research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, and test and evaluation across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat domains, utilizing artificial intelligence, machine learning, and open systems architectures for both classified and unclassified programs. The company also holds a GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract awarded May 7, 2025, with a $500,000 ceiling through May 6, 2030, under three Special Item Numbers: Information Technology Professional Services, Highly Adaptive Cybersecurity Services, and Cloud Computing and Cloud Related IT Professional Services, with nationwide place of performance and labor rates spanning administrative assistants through senior subject-matter experts across cybersecurity, cloud computing, and general IT disciplines.
Customer concentration is dominated by the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, which accounts for $10 billion in combined potential value across two awards (100% of coverage). The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command contributes an additional $189.1 million through a two-task-order position on Seaport Next Generation, where Adapt Forward delivers event planning, operations, and support for the National Cyber Range facility in Charleston, South Carolina. The Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Simulation, Training and Instrumentation and the Missile Defense Agency complete the active customer set. Combined potential value across all eight recent awards totals $10.19 billion, though only $186.2 million (2% of potential value) has been obligated to date, reflecting the heavily front-loaded ceiling structure of large IDIQs and the recency of SHIELD's award.
Service Contract Inventory data shows Adapt Forward reported $94.5 million in invoiced federal services revenue across FY2022–FY2024 (prime contracts only), with FY2024 invoicing of $35 million across 152 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts ranged from $107.57/hr (10th percentile) to $113.86/hr (90th percentile), with a median of $111.04/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed 24% of total contractor hours, with nine named subcontractors reported; the vendor also subcontracts to Lockheed Martin on National Cyber Range facility support work at Charleston.
