Celedon Solutions Inc.

Celedon Solutions Inc., a small business based in Madison, Alabama, delivers advanced engineering automation and multi-physics design software to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor across Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I and Phase II programs and a newly awarded multi-billion-dollar defense systems IDIQ. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) and competes under small-business set-asides on research contracts and full-and-open competition on defense systems procurement.

Celedon's capability footprint centers on AI-driven engineering automation and precision optomechanics design. Recent SBIR Phase II work includes a $971,896 firm fixed-price contract awarded by the Department of Defense Washington Headquarters Service on August 18, 2025 for Automated Engineering with DaVinci, scheduled for completion by August 17, 2026. The vendor also holds a $224,627 SBIR Phase I definitive contract awarded by the same office on September 30, 2026 for agentic multi-physics design automation for precision optomechanics, with completion targeted for March 30, 2027. Both contracts reflect the vendor's specialization in computational design tools for defense applications.

On December 29, 2025, Celedon was awarded a position on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ contract issued by the Missile Defense Agency, carrying a multi-billion-dollar ceiling through December 28, 2035. The initial delivery order under SHIELD, valued at $500 and firm fixed-price, was issued the same date for performance in Huntsville, Alabama. SHIELD procures advanced multi-domain defense capabilities spanning research and development, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, and modernization, with embedded artificial intelligence, machine learning, and digital engineering technologies.

Customer concentration is split across the Department of Defense (Washington Headquarters Service and Missile Defense Agency combined account for all four awards). The vendor's activity trajectory shows three awards in 2025 and one in 2026. One award—the SBIR Phase I contract—reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete risk of $225 thousand. The vendor carries no subcontract footprint in the source data.
