About the company
Imperative Systems LLC, a for-profit partnership based in Herndon, Virginia, holds a multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract (IDIQ) position as a prime contractor on two major federal vehicles with no set-aside designations, and operates as a subcontractor on security services work. The vendor competes in full-and-open competitions rather than under small-business set-asides, though it holds a seat on the OASIS+ Total Small Business set-aside IDIQ.
Imperative Systems received its primary footprint in late 2024 and 2025. On December 29, 2025, the Missile Defense Agency awarded the vendor a position on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program — a multiple-award IDIQ with no ceiling specified and a ten-year performance window through December 2035. SHIELD procures research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity modernization, and operational capabilities across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat domains for ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile defense. The initial task order, awarded the same date, carries a $500 ceiling for the SHIELD Initial Order with place of performance in Huntsville, Alabama. On December 19, 2024, the General Services Administration awarded Imperative Systems a position on OASIS+ Total Small Business, a multiple-award IDIQ reserved for small businesses running through December 2029 and covering seven functional domains: Management and Advisory, Technical and Engineering, Research and Development, Intelligence Services, Environmental Services, Facilities, and Logistics. The vendor also serves as a named subcontractor to Xator LLC on an overseas security installation services task issued by the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security, awarded February 25, 2025.
Activity is nascent — three awards logged in 2025 — and concentrated in defense and federal acquisition vehicles. The Missile Defense Agency accounts for two awards, with the Department of State and GSA Federal Acquisition Service each holding one. Across SCI-reportable records, the vendor fielded roughly 25 FTEs in FY2022 and 38 FTEs in FY2024, all delivered through subcontractor engagements; no prime service contracts above the SCI reporting threshold appear in the dataset. The vendor's award portfolio emphasizes research-and-development work (per NAICS and PSC concentration) and operates predominantly through vehicle positions rather than direct task-order velocity to date.
