About Miller Engineering & Research Corp

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Miller Engineering & Research Corp, doing business as Merc Aerospace, is an SBA Certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business based in Pasadena, Maryland, that operates as a subcontractor on federal aerospace and defense engineering programs (87% of recent awards) and as a prime holder of the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ with the Missile Defense Agency. The company is a women-owned Subchapter S corporation and self-certified small disadvantaged business competing full and open, not under set-asides.

Merc Aerospace's recent footprint is heavily concentrated in NASA work. Of 15 total awards in the source data, 13 are subcontract positions with NASA Goddard Space Center delivering electrical and electronic engineering support for space flight, airborne, and ground system hardware design, development, fabrication, integration, testing, and operations. The company subcontracts primarily under two primes: McCalla Associates, Inc., where Merc has delivered systems engineering support and guidance, navigation, and control (GN&C) systems engineering services under the Systems Engineering Advanced Services II (SEAS II) contract since February 2024, and Columbus Technologies and Services, Inc., where Merc has provided electrical and electronic engineering support for space system hardware development and new technology validation starting March 2025. The Missile Defense Agency accounts for two awards — the recently awarded SHIELD IDIQ (December 2025) and an initial task order under that vehicle, both with a combined potential value of $500 on a firm fixed-price basis and delivery location in Huntsville, Alabama.

The SHIELD IDIQ represents a structural inflection in Merc's posture: a $151 billion multiple-award indefinite delivery contract running through December 2035, awarded under full and open competition with no set-asides, designed to procure research, development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity modernization, and disruptive technology across multiple NAICS codes and both classified and unclassified national defense objectives. The initial task order carries a $500 ceiling on a firm fixed-price basis, representing the first ordering action under this ten-year strategic vehicle.

Activity shows a sharp jump from one award in 2019 to eleven in 2024, then three in 2025. The source's combined potential value of $500 reflects a data anomaly: the SHIELD IDIQ's $151 billion ceiling and the initial task order's $500 ceiling are both present in the portfolio, but obligated dollars across all awards stand at $65.4 million, indicating material sub-task-order work beneath the reported ceiling values. The NASA Goddard work under McCalla (SEAS II) constitutes the bulk of that invoiced activity. SCI-reportable service contract data shows Merc employed 8.3 FTEs in federal service roles in FY2022, growing to 12.1 FTEs in FY2024, entirely in subcontractor positions — no prime SCI-reportable contracts are present in the dataset. The vendor holds a named subsidiary, Research Support Instruments, Inc., a for-profit organization.
