Hypergiant Galactic Systems, Inc.

Hypergiant Galactic Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of Hypergiant Industries Inc., is a small business provider of advanced technology and software development services to Department of Defense agencies, operating as a prime contractor (73% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on defense integration programs. The company is based in Falls Church, Virginia, and does not carry SBA set-aside designations; its recent prime work competes full-and-open across small-business carve-outs and unrestricted solicitations.

Hypergiant's capability portfolio centers on user interface and user experience (UI/UX) development, machine learning applications, sensor integration, and edge computing for military operations. Representative prime work includes a $64.7 million Air Force definitive contract awarded March 29, 2023, for Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) Command and Control to Combat (CBC2) UI/UX development, scheduled for completion December 14, 2026, with performance in Blanco, Texas; a $924,988 Air Force purchase order awarded December 19, 2025, for an AARO Integration Layer prototype to ingest unclassified sensor feeds, track data, render operational pictures, and enable anomaly tagging, completing December 18, 2026; and a $2 million Army SBIR Phase II contract for agile machine learning to the edge with engaging soldier experience for Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) sustainment, completed August 15, 2024. Hypergiant also holds a $249 million Basic Ordering Agreement with the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Data Readiness Artificial Intelligence Development (DRAID) support, spanning project management, data science, data engineering, data architecture, and software development through March 2027, and a newly awarded seat on the Missile Defense Agency's $151 billion Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ (10-year vehicle through December 2035) following the $500 SHIELD Initial Order placed December 29, 2025.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of the Air Force. The Air Force accounts for 12 awards (including one BOA and one IDIQ) with $1.02 billion combined potential value, representing over 80% of the vendor's total potential value; the Office of the Secretary of Defense (via the DRAID BOA) contributes $249 million; the Air Force Research Laboratory, the Army, and the Missile Defense Agency add $1.1 million, $2.2 million, and $500 respectively. All five customer agencies are Defense Department or defense-related entities, with zero civil-sector exposure in the current portfolio.

Activity has been volatile. The vendor posted seven awards in 2021, then declined to four in 2022, one in 2023, three in 2024, and six in 2025 (through late December). Awards with completion dates in the next twenty-four months total two with combined potential value of $65.6 million, creating near-term recompete exposure on the ABMS CBC2 UI/UX contract and the AARO Integration Layer purchase order, both due to complete in December 2026.

In its subcontractor role, Hypergiant primarily supports Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) on ABMS software integration and TENCAP (Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities) programs, delivering UI/UX engineering services, user training development, and training material curation. Six sub awards span March 2024 through July 2025, all under SAIC.

Hypergiant's award portfolio is dominated by research and development work — 20 of 22 awards fall under NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), with the balance in computing infrastructure and biotechnology R&D. The top PSC categories are National Defense R&D Services (5 awards in military experimental development, 4 in defense-related applied research), reflecting the vendor's focus on prototype development, sensor integration, and ML-enabled operational systems for Air Force and Army platforms. The vendor has not reported Service Contract Inventory activity above the $150,000 threshold since FY2022, when a single sub-record showed 0.6 FTEs, indicating that Hypergiant's federal work skews toward development contracts and R&D efforts rather than labor-hour service delivery.
