About the company
DQ Inc., doing business as Dental Quest Inc., is an SBA 8(a)-certified women-owned small business based in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, that operates as a prime contractor on federal IT and defense R&D vehicles. The vendor is minority-owned (Subcontinent Asian American) and self-certified as a small disadvantaged business, holding active positions on two high-ceiling federal contract vehicles and one GSA Federal Supply Schedule, with combined potential value of $20 billion.
DQ Inc.'s recent federal footprint centers on two marquee IDIQ vehicles awarded within the past twelve months. NASA awarded the vendor a position on SEWP VI, a multiple-award GWAC set aside for Total Small Business with a $20 billion aggregate ceiling through October 2036, designed to provide federal agencies with a full suite of IT solutions for communication and audio-visual capabilities, encompassing both products and services. More substantially, the Missile Defense Agency awarded DQ Inc. a prime position on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) contract on December 29, 2025—a $151 billion, ten-year full-and-open IDIQ for multi-domain defense capabilities spanning research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, and cybersecurity modernization across classified and unclassified security domains. The SHIELD vehicle explicitly targets artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures, with place of performance designated as Huntsville, Alabama. An initial $500 delivery order executed on the same date represents the only obligation to date. GSA's Federal Acquisition Service issued the vendor a Multiple Award Schedule position on March 25, 2025 (ceiling $500,000, through March 2030) covering 19 IT labor categories—Systems Administrator through IT Subject Matter Expert—with hourly rates spanning $65.91 to $164.85, all requiring a bachelor's degree and five years of experience, with no security-cleared roles offered.
Customer concentration is heavily skewed to NASA's SEWP VI ceiling value. The NASA award accounts for the full $20 billion potential value; the Missile Defense Agency holds two awards with minimal obligated dollars ($500 combined); GSA's MAS contract carries a $500 thousand ceiling. Activity shows three awards in 2025 and one in 2026, with the SHIELD IDIQ running through December 2035. The vendor operates entirely as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no subcontract footprint in recent activity.
