Logistikos Engineering LLC

Logistikos Engineering LLC, a Fort Wayne, Indiana-based aerospace engineering consulting firm, operates predominantly as a subcontractor (87% of recent awards) under full-and-open competition with no SBA set-aside designations, delivering aerospace systems engineering and spacecraft instrument development services to federal space and defense agencies. The company recently achieved a significant inflection point with its December 2025 prime award on the Missile Defense Agency's $151 billion SHIELD (Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense) IDIQ, a multi-award indefinite delivery contract running through December 2035 that supports research, development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, test and evaluation, and modernization of detection, tracking, interception, and neutralization capabilities against air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats. The initial task order under SHIELD, valued at $500 and placed concurrently, establishes Logistikos as a prime on a defense systems contract despite its historically sub-focused footprint.

Logistikos's customer base concentrates in civilian space agencies and space-systems vendors. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration accounts for nine awards, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Center and Langley Research Center each account for two awards, and the Missile Defense Agency accounts for two (the SHIELD IDIQ and initial task order). Across SCI-reportable activity, the vendor demonstrated 1.3 FTEs on federal service contracts in FY2022; the SCI dataset captures only service contracts above the $150,000 threshold and excludes goods, products, and classified work, and therefore understates the vendor's true federal footprint on hardware and instrument development.

Logistikos operates almost exclusively as a subcontractor to L3Harris Technologies, which is the prime on nine of the vendor's thirteen sub awards spanning aerospace instrumentation development for NOAA and NASA. Logistikos delivers engineering services and development on the Cross Track Infrared Sounder (CRIS) Instrument (multiple sub tasks from January 2024 through March 2024), the Geoxo Imager (GXI) Instrument (two sub tasks in March and July 2025), and the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) Engineering Test Unit Telescope (May 2026 sub task). A single sub engagement with Space Network Solutions LLC, dated February 2024, involved multidiscipline engineering support services. One sub award from June 2023, recorded without prime attribution in the source data, specified research, engineering, and science services across fifteen technical disciplines spanning autonomous systems, aerosciences, avionics, systems design, flight dynamics, materials, structures, measurement systems, and science missions. Award activity shows growth from a single award in 2016 to seven in 2024, with a modest decline to three in 2025 and one in 2026; combined obligated dollars of $5.4 million across the fifteen awards far exceed the $500 combined potential value recorded in the portfolio, indicating that most awards carry unspecified or classified contract ceilings and that actual performance dollars dwarf the stated ceiling figures. The recent MDA SHIELD prime position marks a material shift in the vendor's posture from sub-dependent to prime-capable on defense systems work.

Development of next generation space based remote sensor technology and the engineering needed to make these systems possible. This includes R&D, system architecture trades, hardware design, test support, theoretical analysis and performance estimation.
