Astrion Group, LLC

Astrion Group, LLC, based in Huntsville, Alabama, operates as a prime contractor on substantial defense and space engineering contracts, delivering systems engineering, research and development, test and evaluation, and technical consulting services to the Department of Defense, NASA, and federal civilian agencies across a diverse portfolio of indefinite-delivery vehicles and single-award IDIQs. The vendor competes full-and-open across all recent awards with no set-aside designations; prime work dominates at 83% of recent awards.

Astrion's customer concentration anchors heavily to defense and space. The top five funding agencies by award count — NASA (45 awards), Department of Energy (22), Army Research Development and Engineering Command (21), Department of the Army (18), and Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (18) — account for 54% of recent awards. By dollar value, a narrower set drives the bulk of potential: the Missile Defense Agency leads at $2.48 billion across six awards, followed by Army RDECOM at $1.66 billion across 21 awards, the Air Force at $900 million, Army Test and Evaluation Command at $656 million, and Navy Information Warfare Systems Command at $433 million — these five entities represent just 7% of award count but anchor the portfolio's financial depth. This concentration signals heavy reliance on a few major defense and space customers, with NASA volume offset by smaller per-award dollars and Army test-and-evaluation work carrying the largest ceiling values.

Astrion holds positions on four government-wide vehicles: the Alliant 3 GWAC (GSA, awarded February 2026, no specified ceiling), the OASIS+ Unrestricted MAC (GSA, awarded December 2024, no specified ceiling), the ASTRO platform (GSA FEDSIM, awarded November 2021, no specified ceiling), and the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ (Missile Defense Agency, $151 billion, awarded December 2025 through December 2035). Astrion also anchors single-award IDIQs with the Army Test and Evaluation Command ($640.5 million ceiling through October 2027), the Federal Aviation Administration's SETIS contract ($2.268 billion through June 2028), and the Air Force's rapid-prototyping IDIQ ($900 million through November 2027). Beyond IDIQs, the vendor places task orders under agency-specific vehicles including the Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (EWAAC, $46 billion, awarded March 2025) and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, where it has accumulated 29 task orders valued at $302.6 million, primarily supporting cybersecurity, laboratory operations, and technical services to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and other civilian agencies.

Representative prime work illustrates Astrion's engineering and R&D footprint. A $217.7 million definitive contract with NASA Kennedy Space Center for Laboratory Support Services and Operations II (LASSO II), awarded April 2023 and running through March 2028, funds laboratory maintenance, quality assurance, safety, and environmental compliance across Kennedy facilities supporting Exploration Ground Systems, the International Space Station, and Launch Services programs. A $215.5 million delivery order from Army Research Development and Engineering Command, issued June 2022 through December 2025, covers ordering-period labor and other direct costs for test and evaluation support at Redstone Test Center and Army test facilities, with notable subcontractors including Ulyssix Technologies (telemetry equipment), Data Physics Corporation (vibration testing), and Quasonix (telemetry transmitters). The $151 billion SHIELD IDIQ from the Missile Defense Agency, awarded December 2025, positions Astrion for delivery orders spanning research and development, systems engineering, prototyping, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, and modernization of multi-domain defense systems addressing ballistic, hypersonic, cruise missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats; the contract structure explicitly supports approximately 20 labor categories including engineering design, systems integration, logistics analysis, and program management.

On the Nuclear Regulatory Commission front, Astrion operates under multiple GSA Schedule BPA calls totaling $91.5 million across cybersecurity program support services, regulatory inspection services, and cybersecurity training. The largest NRC call, valued at $79.76 million and issued November 2022 through June 2031, supports establishment and maintenance of robust cybersecurity and privacy programs; SCI-reportable data from FY2024 shows this call fielded 35.3 FTEs across 73,399 contractor hours at a blended government-paid rate of $68.01 per hour, with 19% of hours subcontracted to Obsidian Global, R2 Technology Solutions (HUBZone certified), and Buoy Solutions (8(a) certified). A second call supporting 2026 Reactor Oversight Process cybersecurity inspections and vulnerability management, valued at $3.569 million, was awarded August 2025 with completion through February 2027.

Activity has grown modestly year over year — 13 awards in 2022 to 19 in 2025 — with five awards (combined potential value $235.2 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure. Astrion's SCI-reportable invoicing of federal service contracts captured $47 million across FY2023 and FY2024, with FY2024 reaching $30.1 million across 1,038 FTEs — a significant ramp reflecting the LASSO II contract expansion. The FY2023 rate of $66.47 per hour contracted to FY2024's blended rate of $13.97 per hour, a decline driven by 57% average subcontractor-hours share on prime contracts; across prime records, government-paid rates ranged from a 10th percentile of $19.22 per hour to a 90th percentile of $61.22 per hour, with median around $40.22 per hour. GSA Schedule labor spans 265 categories from $36.77 per hour for junior data technician roles through $383.27 per hour for executive consulting, covering high-school through bachelor's-level education and supporting security-cleared positions.

Astrion operates predominantly as a prime contractor but engages subcontractors on large programs. Named subsidiaries include Oasis Systems, LLC (acquired or existing subsidiary), Beyond New Horizons, LLC, and Quantitech Intermediate Holdings LLC; the Oasis Systems presence is evidenced by a novation agreement transferring the OASIS+ Unrestricted MAC contract from Oasis Systems, LLC to Astrion Group effective December 2024, indicating either a merger or restructuring that consolidated Oasis Systems' federal footprint into Astrion Group. As a subcontractor, Astrion delivers weapons development engineering support to Integration Innovation Inc. on Army lethal-mechanism and warhead-division work, systems and integration services to Metis Technology Partners on Missile Defense Agency space programs, IT infrastructure and thermal-protection support to Analytical Mechanics Associates on NASA Entry Systems and Technology Division projects, and SLS production support to The Boeing Company.
