Marzen Group LLC

Marzen Group LLC, a small business based in Nashua, New Hampshire, delivers tactical data analysis and connectivity systems (TDACS), LINK 16 software platforms, and related system engineering and integration services to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (77% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to large defense primes. The company competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its footprint.

Marzen's customer concentration is extreme and concentrated. The Missile Defense Agency accounts for 22 of 75 total awards (29% of the volume) and dominates the potential-value ranking with $85.5 million of the vendor's combined $91.9 million potential value—93% of all dollars. The next four customers by potential-value share (GSA Federal Acquisition Service, Navy Information Warfare Systems Command, Army Pacific Command, and Air Forces Europe–Africa) together represent less than 2% of combined potential value. This concentration reflects Marzen's core competency as a TDACS specialist for MDA operations and does not diversify meaningfully across other agencies or product lines.

Marzen's prime vehicle position rests on two major indefinite-delivery contracts with MDA. The first, a single-award IDIQ valued at $63.104 million through June 30, 2030, procures follow-on TDACS support services including system engineering, integration, product development, testing, and deployment; two delivery orders have been issued since award on July 1, 2025—a $1.78 million firm-fixed-price order for TDACS support services in Nashua (ultimate completion December 28, 2025) and a $4.3 million cost-plus-fixed-fee order for maintenance, transportation, setup, network connection, cybersecurity compliance, and operation of TDACS workstations at wargames and exercises in Colorado Springs (ultimate completion January 15, 2027). The second, a multiple-award IDIQ valued at $151 billion through December 28, 2035, is the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) contract awarded December 29, 2025, encompassing research and development, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat domains; an initial $500 delivery order was issued the same day with performance in Huntsville, Alabama. Beyond MDA IDIQs, Marzen holds positions on the GSA Information Technology Schedule 70 (19 task orders, $1.5 million combined potential value) and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (4 task orders, $14.5 million combined potential value). A $14.4 million delivery order for labor and TDACS support services under the MAS ran through July 18, 2025.

Recent activity accelerated sharply from a single award in 2022 to eleven in each of 2024 and 2025, driven entirely by MDA TDACS awards and follow-on delivery orders. One award with combined potential value of $4.3 million reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and faces recompete exposure. In its subcontractor role, Marzen delivers TDACS hardware, software, engineering support, and program-management labor to Lockheed Martin on recurring command-and-control battle-management communications enterprise-management and systems-engineering tasks across calendar years 2024–2028; to Science Applications International Corporation on tactical-exploitation-of-national-capabilities (TENCAP) TDACS server and modeling-and-simulation training-enhancement work; to Amentum Technology on Missile Defense National Team infrastructure design and integration; and to ManTech on weapons-systems and naval-warfare modeling and simulation. Across all sub work, the vendor maintains TDACS as its core technology focus.

Marzen's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 21 categories with rates from $86.13 to $240.20 per hour, covering engineering roles (data link engineers, test engineers, systems engineers, engineers) and IT technical staff (IT technician) with education requirements from associate through master's degrees and no security-clearance requirements. The vendor's SCI-reportable federal service-contract footprint is minimal (0.4 FTEs in FY2024, zero invoiced revenue recorded in SCI), indicating that classified work, product sales, and delivery-order pricing dominate the actual revenue stream and fall outside SCI reporting thresholds. Capability depth centers on TDACS hardware and software sustainment, LINK 16 data-link system integration, technical refresh engineering, and field support operations in multiple locations (Colorado Springs and Nashua as primary performance sites, with forward operations in Japan and Europe). The company's award history and active vehicle positions establish it as a specialist embedded in MDA's TDACS ecosystem with minimal crossover into other defense IT segments or civilian federal programs.
