Envention LLC

Envention LLC, a small business based in Huntsville, Alabama, provides advanced aerospace and defense engineering solutions to the Department of Defense and NASA as a prime contractor on two large indefinite-delivery vehicles and as a subcontractor on Army and missile-defense programs. The vendor competes full-and-open (no set-aside designations on its prime IDIQs), though it qualifies for total small business set-asides on SBIR awards.

Envention's recent footprint centers on two transformational vehicle wins. The Missile Defense Agency awarded Envention a multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract for the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program on December 29, 2025, with a $151 billion ceiling through December 28, 2035; the vehicle supports detection, tracking, interception, and neutralization of air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats via research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, and modernization. The Air Force Lifecycle Management Center at Eglin awarded Envention a $46 billion multiple-award IDIQ under the Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (EWAAC) On-Ramp IV on March 13, 2025, running through September 9, 2031, classified under NAICS 332993 (Ammunition except Small Arms Manufacturing) with a $1,000 minimum order guarantee. Beyond these vehicles, Envention holds a $899,982 Phase II SBIR definitive contract from NASA's Shared Services Center (awarded July 15, 2025, completion July 14, 2027) for prototyping a resilient, versatile, and future-proof spaceflight coprocessor platform, and a $154,888 Phase I SBIR purchase order from NASA (awarded August 7, 2024, completed February 6, 2025) for the same coprocessor development. Capability work encompasses artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, open systems architectures, advanced coprocessor design, and FPGA hardware verification.

Customer concentration is heavily tilted toward Air Force and missile-defense programs. The Air Force (via the Eglin vehicle alone) and the Missile Defense Agency together dominate the $46 billion combined potential value across all awards. NASA and Army programs account for secondary volume. In its subcontractor role, Envention delivers system software lifecycle engineering and DevSecOps support to Science Applications International Corporation on an Army software modernization task (awarded July 18, 2025) and provides technical engineering and FPGA verification support to Intuitive Research and Technology Corporation on an Army Aviation and Missile Center software assurance task (awarded June 17, 2024).

The vendor's activity accelerated sharply in 2025 (six awards) after sustained periods of one to two awards per year from 2017 through 2021. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $24.8 million — a fraction of the $46 billion combined potential value, reflecting the vehicles' early stage. One award (the Phase II NASA SBIR) completes within the next twenty-four months at $900 thousand potential value, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The majority of Envention's potential value remains locked in two decade-long vehicle ceilings beginning execution in late 2025 and early 2026.

ENVENTION develops software technology that is deployed at the PATRIOT Battalion/Battery and THAAD Battery levels, for our US forces and our worldwide allies.

ENVENTION personnel have served as software architects and leads on the PATRIOT Tactical Planner Workstation (TPW) and its forerunners since its inception in the late 1980s.

ENVENTION personnel also serve as software leads, developers, and system engineers for the Common Data Link Interface Manager (CDLIM) and have extensive experience with connecting to tactical radio networks, local radars, weapon systems and HWIL equipment.
