CTM JV, LLC

CTM JV, LLC, a subsidiary of Castellum Inc., operates exclusively as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal defense and aerospace procurements, with no subcontract activity in the source record. The joint venture is based in Hollywood, Maryland, and competes without SBA set-aside designations across two customer agencies — the Naval Air Systems Command and the Missile Defense Agency — with an extremely early-stage footprint (four awards spanning the past seven months, two in late 2025 and two in mid-2026).

CTM JV's current portfolio is dominated by a single transformational vehicle: the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ awarded by the Missile Defense Agency on December 29, 2025, with a multi-billion-dollar ceiling and a period of performance extending through December 28, 2035. This is a full-and-open multiple-award indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity contract designed to support research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, and cybersecurity modernization across the MDA and other Department of Defense entities. The underlying solicitation emphasized advanced multi-domain defense capabilities against air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight, incorporating artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open-systems architectures. Work accommodates both classified and unclassified programs and is performed primarily in Huntsville, Alabama. CTM JV received an initial delivery order valued at five hundred dollars on the SHIELD IDIQ at award.

Concurrently, CTM JV holds a seat on the Naval Air Systems Command's LIIS CMDS MAC, a $249.9 million multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract awarded June 11, 2026, running through June 14, 2031. CTM JV has received one delivery order against this vehicle valued at $1 thousand (awarded July 16, 2026, ultimate completion August 10, 2026). No obligations beyond these nominal delivery-order minimums are recorded; combined actual spend across all four awards is $2 thousand against $249.9 million in combined potential value. Award activity is nascent and concentrated entirely within defense and aerospace — Computer Systems Design Services and Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences split the NAICS classification evenly.
