About Crean & Associates, Inc.
Crean & Associates, Inc. (doing business as Crean Inc.), a woman-owned small business headquartered in Lakeway, Texas, operates almost exclusively as a subcontractor (94% of recent awards) to Boeing and LinQuest on aerospace and defense programs, with a recent prime position on the Missile Defense Agency's $151 billion SHIELD multiple-award IDIQ awarded December 29, 2025. Crean is an SBA-certified women-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business structured as a Subchapter S corporation, competing on full and open (non-set-aside) contracts.
Crean's footprint is heavily concentrated in space launch and propulsion systems. Twenty-six of its thirty-one awards target NASA Marshall Space Flight Center programs, with work spanning interim cryogenic propulsion stage manufacturing, Space Launch System (SLS) stages production and evolution, and Ares I upper-stage development and assembly under Boeing prime contracts. Two awards flow through the Department of the Air Force Space Command Space and Missile Systems Center for military satellite communications systems engineering integration and test support under LinQuest, and two awards sit on the Missile Defense Agency's SHIELD vehicle. The vendor's category concentration reflects this specialization: fifteen awards fall under guided missile and space vehicle propulsion unit and parts manufacturing NAICS; twelve under guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing; and four under research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences. All four customer agencies account for 100% of the award portfolio.
The SHIELD prime contract, awarded December 29, 2025, carries a $151 billion ceiling and an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035, with an initial delivery order valued at $500 (firm fixed price) issued on award date. The contract structure supports classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains with place of performance at Huntsville, Alabama, and procures research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization for integrated defense against air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats.
Activity has grown from six awards in 2023 to fourteen in 2025, with four awards placed to date in 2026. Service Contract Inventory data shows minimal SCI-reportable service-contract activity — only two SCI records across FY2022 through FY2024 — reflecting Crean's orientation toward goods and manufacturing work on aerospace vehicle components rather than labor-intensive professional services. The combined dollars obligated across all awards stand at $5.7 million, substantially exceeding the $500 combined potential value of currently awarded work, indicating prior sub-task completions and ongoing execution against Boeing and LinQuest primes.
