Advanced Engineering Solutions & Services, L.L.C.

Advanced Engineering Solutions & Services, L.L.C., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Belcamp, Maryland, operates as a prime contractor on defense engineering, fabrication, integration, and logistics programs, with growing exposure to large-scale defense acquisition vehicles and counter narcotics support work. The company is structured as a limited liability corporation and manufacturer of goods, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements rather than set-aside vehicles, though it holds positions on the OASIS+ Total Small Business IDIQ (reserved for small businesses) and qualifies under partial small business set-asides on certain DoD counter narcotics work.

AES2's capability portfolio centers on rigid-wall shelter design and production, systems engineering and integration, cybersecurity and accreditation, logistics support, and counter narcotics operations training. Recent prime work includes a $453.8 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract awarded March 26, 2026, by the Army Combat Capabilities Development Command for C5ISR Sensors-Platforms Integration shelter program replication and enhancement through February 2031, with an initial delivery order valued at $2.87 million for Belcamp, Maryland performance; a $151 billion multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract from the Missile Defense Agency (SHIELD program) awarded December 29, 2025, supporting multi-domain homeland defense research, development, prototyping, and production through December 2035; and a $960 million multiple-award counter narcotics and global threats IDIQ from Air Combat Command (March 2023), under which AES2 delivered a $2,000 order for operations, logistics, and training support at Hampton, Virginia in March 2023.

Customer concentration by potential value is heavily anchored to defense. The Air Force Air Combat Command dominates at $960 million (2 awards), followed by Army Aberdeen Proving Ground at $453.8 million (1 award), with remaining federal customers—the Army Research Development and Engineering Command, the Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement, the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, and the Defense Logistics Agency—representing smaller nominal values. By award count, the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment leads with six awards, followed by Army RDEC with four awards, but this split reflects the dollar gap between small purchase orders and major IDIQs. AES2 operates across eight distinct federal customer agencies.

AES2 holds positions on five parent vehicles spanning defense and civilian procurement: the OASIS+ Unrestricted multiple-award IDIQ (GSA Federal Acquisition Service, five-year base through October 2030) and OASIS+ Total Small Business IDIQ (same issuer and period, small-business-reserved), the Department of Defense Counter Narcotics and Global Threats IDIQ, the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ, and the Special Operations Equipment–Tailored Logistics Support vehicle, which accounts for six task orders. The SHIELD and Army Aberdeen Proving Ground shelter IDIQs represent the largest dollar vehicles in the portfolio.

Activity has accelerated year over year from two awards in 2022 to eight in 2024, with four new awards in 2025 and two in 2026 (through March). Combined potential value across all twenty-two awards totals $1.42 billion, though only $166.7 million (12%) has been obligated, reflecting the forward-looking nature of IDIQ vehicles and initial task order minimums. Only one award—the Army shelter delivery order valued at $2.9 million—faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure.

AES2 operates as a subcontractor on counter narcotics and C5ISR center systems engineering programs. The company subcontracts to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. on six task orders (awarded September–October 2024) delivering training, shelter systems, RF site integration, and systems integration support; to Science Applications International Corporation on two January 2024 awards covering cybersecurity, systems engineering, and lifecycle logistics for a C5ISR center; and to Mag DS Corp on a July 2023 task order (C5ISR Center Worldwide-Defense-System Integration, Prototyping, and Security) providing engineering, RDT&E, logistics, and training services. Service Contract Inventory data is sparse, capturing only 5.5 FTEs reported as sub labor in FY2022, reflecting the company's heavy reliance on product manufacturing and engineering work outside SCI's $150,000-and-above service-contract scope. Prime awards account for 59% of recent contracts and IDVs; sub awards comprise 41%, positioning AES2 as a hybrid prime-and-sub operator rather than a pure subcontractor feeder to larger integrators.
