Collier Research & Development Corp

Collier Research & Development Corp, a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation based in Newport News, Virginia, delivers computer-aided engineering software and subscription services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, with 99% of its awards issued as prime contracts and no set-aside designations across its footprint. The company specializes in HyperX and HyperSizer Pro software platforms for aerospace structural design, analysis, optimization, and composite material applications, competing full-and-open across all award types.

Collier's customer concentration is dominated by NASA, which accounts for approximately 69% of the company's 135 total awards in the source data. NASA's Shared Services Center alone represents 50 awards with $4.5 million combined potential value, followed by NASA prime awards (16 awards, $3.5 million) and NASA Langley Research Center (11 awards, $2.8 million). The Air Force provides secondary demand, with five awards totaling $159 thousand, including a $67,500 purchase order for HyperX software maintenance and support through March 2028 issued from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base on June 1, 2023. Collier serves 14 distinct federal agencies overall, though NASA accounts for the vast majority of recent transaction volume.

The company's recent activity has declined from 8 awards in 2022 to 2 awards year-to-date in 2026, totaling $14.3 million in combined potential value across its entire award portfolio. The primary vehicle underpinning Collier's NASA business is a $3.3 million five-year blanket purchase agreement through April 2026 with NASA's Shared Services Center, under which 44 task orders have been issued across multiple NASA research centers including Marshall Space Flight Center, Glenn Research Center, Johnson Space Center, and Langley Research Center. Individual task orders under this BPA range from $11,936 to $141,936 for annual HyperX subscription licenses and HyperSizer Pro maintenance and support packages. Collier also participates in a cooperative agreement with NASA's Shared Services Center valued at $1.167 million for Phase 1 of the High-Rate Composites Aircraft Manufacturing (HICAM) project, focused on design-for-manufacturing activities for advanced composites manufacturing. A Small Business Innovation Research Phase I contract awarded September 29, 2025, valued at $149,734, supports development of machine learning-enabled material design capabilities within system-level optimization, with ultimate completion scheduled for March 27, 2026.

Collier's award portfolio is concentrated in software publishing (78 awards) and reflects heavy reliance on recurring annual subscription renewals and maintenance task orders rather than new development work. The company carries minimal recompete exposure — only six awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $256 thousand. Subcontract activity is negligible; Collier appears as a sub-recipient on two awards: a HyperX subscription license supply agreement under The Aerospace Corporation and a specialized technical services engagement in research, engineering, and science services. This footprint reflects a narrow, specialized vendor posture dependent on sustainable demand for structural analysis software tools within NASA's aeronautics research enterprise and secondary Air Force application.
