Gauge Engineering Services, LLC

Gauge Engineering Services, LLC, based in Denton, Texas, is a for-profit company that holds two prime IDIQ positions with the Department of Defense, placing it as a full-and-open competitor (no set-asides) on enterprise-scale defense contracting vehicles. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor; all four awards in the source footprint are prime IDIQs and minimum-guarantee delivery orders.

Gauge Engineering holds two significant federal contract vehicles. The Missile Defense Agency awarded a multi-award IDIQ under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program on December 29, 2025, with a $151 billion ceiling running through December 28, 2035. The contract scope encompasses research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, and modernization of advanced multi-domain defense systems capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight — ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles. Work leverages artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures at both classified and unclassified levels, with place of performance in Huntsville, Alabama and other locations as determined by task orders. The Naval Sea Systems Command awarded Gauge Engineering a separate multi-award IDIQ under Seaport Next Generation (Seaport-NXG) on January 2, 2025, with a $4 billion ceiling through January 1, 2029, procuring facilities support services for NAVSEA and Navy SYSCOM partners including NAVAIR, NAVWAR, NAVFAC, NAVSUP, the Office of Naval Research, and the U.S. Marine Corps. The vendor's customer footprint is split evenly between Naval Sea Systems Command (two awards, $4 billion combined potential value) and the Missile Defense Agency (two awards, $500 combined potential value), with both customers represented in the top NAICS categories of engineering services and research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences. Obligated dollars total $1 thousand across the four awards, reflecting the recent award dates and minimum-guarantee structure of the delivery orders; combined potential value across all awards stands at $4 billion. The vendor has not yet executed substantial work under either vehicle as of the source date.
