Ennoble First Incorporated

Ennoble First Incorporated, doing business as Ennoblis Corp, is a Chantilly, Virginia–based minority-owned, SBA 8(a)–certified small disadvantaged business that operates predominantly as a subcontractor (77% of recent awards) to defense primes, delivering software engineering labor, systems integration, and engineering services across satellite programs and missile defense initiatives. The company is structured as a Subchapter S corporation, Subcontinent Asian American–owned, with two named subsidiaries: Ennoble First - Macro Solutions LLC and Efix-Jv LLC (both minority-owned, SBA-certified joint ventures).

Ennoble First's award footprint is heavily concentrated in defense space and missile programs. Twenty-three of thirty total awards derive from subcontract labor on the Next Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared Geosynchronous (NGG) program under Lockheed Martin, delivering software engineering and ground operations team labor on ground control systems and relay software across multiple phases since 2022. The vendor also holds two prime IDIQs: a $4 billion Seaport Next Generation (Seaport-NXG) multiple-award contract with Naval Sea Systems Command (Jan 2, 2025 through Jan 1, 2029), and a $151 billion Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award contract with the Missile Defense Agency (Dec 29, 2025 through Dec 28, 2035). The SHIELD award reflects placement across full-and-open competition with no set-aside designation, marking a significant expansion into homeland defense systems engineering and advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and digital engineering. A $4.5 million delivery order for technology engineering services evaluation and support is active with the Defense Information Systems Agency (May 22, 2024 through Nov 21, 2026) under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, and a $3.2 million 8(a) Sole Source definitive contract with DISA for technology engineering services ran through May 19, 2024.

The customer base is concentrated in defense space and missile agencies. The Department of the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center accounts for 23 awards (all NGG subcontract work under Lockheed Martin), while the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command anchors $4 billion in potential value through the Seaport-NXG IDIQ. The Defense Information Systems Agency represents $7.7 million across two awards, and the Missile Defense Agency $500 in potential value through the SHIELD IDIQ. This concentration is a recompete-risk signal: only one prime award (the $4.5 million DISA task order under MAS) completes within the next twenty-four months, but the bulk of Ennoble First's recent activity—the two mega-IDIQs totaling $155 billion in ceiling and the deep Lockheed Martin NGG subcontract relationship—extends beyond that window.

Ennoble First operates as a feeder to Lockheed Martin on defense-space labor. The vendor's subcontract pattern shows sustained engagement on NGG since mid-2022, with software engineering labor, ground operations team support, and period-of-performance extensions recurring across thirteen documented sub-awards through February 2025. The SCI dataset captures this subcontractor posture: four records across fiscal years 2022–2024, all as a named subcontractor with roughly 0.9 to 1.5 FTEs per year reported — a narrow slice of the vendor's actual delivery, constrained by SCI's $150,000 threshold and exclusion of classified work. On the GSA MAS, Ennoble First maintains 124 active labor categories spanning IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, geospatial systems, and program management, with hourly rates from $50.62 (health IT desktop engineer) through $251.89 (IT program manager with twenty years' experience), none of which carry security-clearance requirements. This labor portfolio reflects the unclassified and cleared-facility work typical of DISA and space-systems engineering roles, while the company's classified work—likely predominant on NGG and SHIELD — sits outside the published schedule.

Awards per year show sharp growth: one in 2018, five in 2022, fifteen in 2024, and seven in 2025 (the last two years capturing the IDIQ awards and acceleration of sub-work). Combined potential value across all awards reaches $4.01 billion, though only $12.1 million has been obligated to date, reflecting the early draw-down on two massive IDIQs with long periods of performance. Ennoble First's posture on its own vehicles remains nascent—task orders initiated under SHIELD and Seaport-NXG are recent (December 2025 and January 2025 respectively) and carry nominal ceiling values of five hundred dollars, signaling placeholder orders pending full scope definition.
