Fisheye Software, Inc.

Fisheye Software, Inc., a small business specializing in real-time and embedded systems software development and integration for defense applications, operates as both a prime contractor (54% of recent awards) and subcontractor (46%) across the Department of Defense and agency research portfolios. Headquartered in Maynard, Massachusetts, the company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation with no SBA set-aside designations on its prime awards; recent prime work has been awarded as total small business set-asides under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program and on full-and-open competition vehicles.

Fisheye's prime capability portfolio centers on contested-environment data exchange, metadata targeting, software sustainment, and real-time systems engineering for defense applications. Representative prime work includes a $2.99 million SBIR Phase II contract awarded by the Missile Defense Agency in September 2022 (ultimate completion September 2027) for research and development focused on advanced defense capabilities, a $1.25 million SBIR Phase II purchase order from the Air Force Research Laboratory awarded in March 2024 for metadata targeting information exchange in contested environments, and a $74,983 SBIR Phase I contract from Air Force Research Laboratory in April 2023 for exfiltration of complex data in low-observable stressing environments. Most significantly, Fisheye holds a position on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD), a $151 billion multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract vehicle awarded by the Missile Defense Agency on December 29, 2025, under full-and-open competition with an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035; an initial delivery order on SHIELD was awarded on the same date with a $500 ceiling and performance location in Huntsville, Alabama.

Customer concentration sits with the Department of Defense research and operational commands. The top five customer agencies account for 86% of recent awards by count and 65% by combined potential value, led by the Missile Defense Agency (5 awards, $4.6 million combined potential value), the Air Force Research Laboratory (6 awards, $3 million), and Naval Sea Systems Command (7 awards, $1.6 million). The rankings align closely; MDA dominates both volume and dollars. Work is concentrated in research and development (11 awards under NAICS 541714, Physical Engineering and Life Sciences R&D, and related codes) and defense system electronics and communications (8 awards under Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance system manufacturing codes). Fisheye also subcontracts under Raytheon (Taiwan Surveillance Radar Program Follow-On Support and Qatar Early Warning Radar sustainment), Science Applications International Corporation (Army System Software Lifecycle Engineering supporting modern DevSecOps practices), ManTech (on-site DoD support), and Georgia Tech Applied Research (BMEWS Pave Paws and Cobra Dane radar programs). Activity has grown unevenly — one award in 2021 to five in 2024 and five in 2025 — with one award (combined potential value $3 million) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $45.4 million, significantly exceeding the $14.2 million combined potential value across the footprint, indicating heavy execution against awarded work.
