Mks2 LLC

Mks2 LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) headquartered in Austin, Texas, operates as a prime contractor on Army soldier transition and training programs, defense R&D vehicles, and civilian agency professional services, with significant exposure to large-ceiling IDIQs and a recent shift toward defense programs anchored by multi-billion-dollar potential values.

Mks2 is organized as a limited liability partnership and competes predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides and total small business set-asides across its prime portfolio (67% of recent awards), with an active subcontractor footprint (33% of awards) under Booz Allen Hamilton, Deloitte Consulting, and ASM Research. The vendor holds seats on multiple government-wide and agency vehicles: the SHIELD IDIQ awarded by the Missile Defense Agency on December 29, 2025, with a multi-billion-dollar ceiling and work scope spanning advanced multi-domain defense systems including air, missile, space, and cyber threat detection and neutralization; the OASIS+ SDVOSB IDIQ (GSA Federal Acquisition Service, April 2025) and OASIS+ Total Small Business IDIQ (April 2025), both carrying placeholder ceilings through 2030; a $99 million Naval Postgraduate School research and education support IDIQ (Naval Education and Training Command, November 2024); the Combined Arms Center Multiple Award IDIQ (Army Training and Doctrine Command, $145.2 million ceiling, November 2028); and the Transformation Twenty-One Total Technology Next Generation vehicle under the Navy.

Customer concentration sits with the Department of the Navy and the Department of the Army. By potential value, the top tier is dominated by the Naval Sea Systems Command (2 awards, $10 billion combined potential value), the Army Office of the Chief of Staff (5 awards, $388.8 million), and the Army Training and Doctrine Command (2 awards, $145.2 million). By award count, the Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center Austin and Naval Education and Training Command each account for 11 awards (74% of all awards). The divergence signals that Mks2's largest dollar exposure sits with the Navy's ship and sea systems programs, while its most frequent customer interactions occur through VA and Navy education contracting.

On the Army side, Mks2 holds two large definitive contracts for Soldier for Life-Transition Assistance Program (SFL-TAP) support services: a $221.3 million contract awarded June 4, 2023, and a $167.5 million continuation contract awarded November 4, 2024 (both running through October 31, 2028). These contracts support transition assistance centers, career counseling, individual transition planning, and employment assistance at 76 Army installations worldwide. Mks2 subcontracts on these awards to Rsc2 Inc. (HUBZone small business) and Tenova LLC (SDVOSB) for staffing support. Additional Army work includes a $10 thousand minimum-guarantee delivery order under the Combined Arms Center IDIQ for ACWS migration support services (April 2023). On the Navy education side, Mks2 holds the $99 million Naval Postgraduate School research and education support IDIQ with a one-year base plus four one-year options, delivering graduate-level research assistance, teaching support, course delivery, and executive education.

Recent activity shows growth trajectory into larger vehicles and defense programs. Awards per year increased from 2 in 2020 to 13 in 2024, with 6 awards in 2025. The most recent major award is the SHIELD IDIQ with the Missile Defense Agency (December 29, 2025), a $151 billion-ceiling vehicle under full and open competition with no set-aside, structured to support both classified and unclassified research, development, prototyping, systems engineering, and production for multi-domain threat detection and engagement across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid domains. Work on this vehicle may be performed at multiple locations including Huntsville, Alabama, and requires facility clearances at varying classification levels.

Mks2's subcontractor role centers on IT and cybersecurity services. The vendor subcontracts to Booz Allen Hamilton on Transformation Support Services 2.0 (multiple funding actions between January 2024 and February 2025), providing full-suite IT and cybersecurity services; to Deloitte Consulting on platform enhancement and development delivery (September 2025); and to ASM Research on Army Training Requirements and Resource System (ATRRS) support (multiple funding modifications between February and August 2024).

Service Contract Inventory data covering FY2022–FY2024 shows SCI-reported invoiced revenue of $55.9 million across 10 records (4 as prime, 6 as subcontractor). Prime invoicing grew from $11.9 million in FY2023 to $44 million in FY2024 across an estimated 1,650 FTEs. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, government-paid rates ran median $41.83 per hour with senior labor pricing to $65.04 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Mks2 performed approximately 82% of contractor hours in-house, with subcontractors accounting for an average 18% share. SCI data represents a partial view of Mks2's federal activity and excludes goods, classified contracts, and non-reportable work.

The vendor maintains two named subsidiaries: Weaponize LLC and Government Healthcare Solutions LLC. The corporate structure and subsidiary naming signals suggest capability adjacency to defense innovation and federal health program support, though the award portfolio does not isolate their individual contributions.
