Deepsat, Inc.

Deepsat, Inc., a California-based for-profit corporation, operates as a prime contractor delivering advanced defense systems research, development, and prototype engineering to the Department of Defense, competing under full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurement. The vendor holds a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract with the Missile Defense Agency (SHIELD) carrying a $151 billion ceiling through December 2035, and has received one firm fixed-price purchase order from the Air Force Research Laboratory under Total Small Business set-aside.

Deepsat's federal footprint spans three recent awards totaling $1.3 million combined potential value, all obligated. The Air Force Research Laboratory placed a $1,249,840 purchase order on May 23, 2025, for DEEPSAT — DAF X25.5 CSO Air Force Direct-to-Phase II effort, a research and development initiative performed in Los Angeles, California with completion targeted for May 22, 2026. The Missile Defense Agency issued the initial SHIELD delivery order in January 2026 for $500, establishing the floor activity on the larger contract vehicle. Deepsat's capability portfolio centers on multi-domain defense systems engineering encompassing detection, tracking, interception, and neutralization across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid domains; the scope includes research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, test and evaluation, and cybersecurity modernization aligned with ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise-missile threat response. Deepsat leverages artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures to deliver layered homeland and force-protection capabilities.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward defense: the Air Force Research Laboratory (1 award, $1.2 million) and the Missile Defense Agency (2 awards, $500) account for 100% of recent awards. All three awards fall under research and development NAICS codes, with two classified as National Defense R&D Services in experimental development and one in applied research. Deepsat operates as a pure prime (100% of awards) with no recent subcontract activity. The vendor is pre-positioned on the SHIELD vehicle for multi-year task and delivery-order issuance across classified and unclassified programs supporting the Department of Defense and allied defense priorities through 2035.
