About the company
Independent Software, Inc., a women-owned small business based in Ellicott City, Maryland, holds prime positions on two major Department of Defense indefinite delivery contracts as a full-and-open competitor with no set-aside restrictions: the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ awarded by the Missile Defense Agency with a $151 billion ceiling through December 2035, and the Seaport Next Generation (Seaport-NXG) IDIQ awarded by Naval Sea Systems Command with a $4 billion ceiling through January 2029. All seven of the vendor's federal awards are primes (100% prime split); the vendor operates as a Subchapter S corporation parent entity with two named subsidiaries, Onyx Geese LLC (a small business joint venture) and Diverse Concepts, Inc. (a women-owned small business).
Independent Software holds SBA certification as a women-owned small business. The vendor's award footprint, while small in count (seven total awards spanning 2011 through December 2025), concentrates dollar value heavily in Navy and defense R&D. Naval Sea Systems Command accounts for $4 billion in combined potential value across two awards (the Seaport-NXG IDIQ and a $500 minimum-guarantee task order under that vehicle), representing 100% of the top-customers-by-potential-value ranking. The Missile Defense Agency accounts for $500 in combined potential value across two awards (the SHIELD IDIQ and a $500 delivery order under it). Three other agencies round out the footprint with sub-million or low-million-dollar awards: the Department of Homeland Security US Secret Service ($4 million), the GSA Federal Acquisition Service ($600 thousand), and the Department of Commerce US Patent and Trademark Office ($95 thousand). Award obligations to date total only $96 thousand against the $4 billion combined potential value, reflecting the early maturity of the SHIELD and Seaport-NXG vehicles following their 2025 awards.
The vendor's capability portfolio, grounded in IDV scope and award coding, spans defense systems engineering, research and development, and weapons system design and integration. The SHIELD contract encompasses research, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity modernization, and digital engineering leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid domains. Seaport-NXG work centers on facilities support services (NAICS 541330) supporting Navy System Commands. The vendor has no recorded subcontract work in the source data and operates exclusively as a prime on all tracked awards.
