Parry Labs LLC

Parry Labs LLC, a small business based in Alexandria, Virginia specializing in digital systems integration and advanced technological solutions for defense applications, operates primarily as a subcontractor (74% of recent awards by count) on prime contracts across the Department of Defense, with a growing prime footprint anchored to two major indefinite delivery vehicles and several Small Business Innovation Research awards. The company is a for-profit limited liability company with no stated SBA set-aside certifications, competing across full-and-open procurements.

The vendor's customer concentration is defense-heavy and dominated by a small number of high-value programs. By potential value, the top three customers account for approximately 100% of portfolio dollars: the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command ($4 billion, anchored to the SeaPort-NXG IDIQ awarded January 2, 2025), the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Aeronautical Systems Center ($902.3 million across six awards), and the Department of the Air Force ($58.2 million across nine awards). By award count, the Department of the Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command leads with 30 awards, the Department of the Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service with 14 awards, and the Air Force with nine awards, together representing 69% of recent activity. The divergence between volume and dollars signals that Army/Air Force awards are numerous but smaller in value, while the Navy's SeaPort-NXG position and the Air Force Aeronautical Systems Center work drive the dollar footprint.

Parry Labs holds five parent contract vehicles as a prime: a $151 billion multiple-award Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ from the Missile Defense Agency (awarded December 29, 2025, with a $500 minimum guarantee delivery order issued immediately); a $4 billion Naval Sea Systems Command SeaPort-NXG multiple-award IDIQ (awarded January 2, 2025, with one $500 minimum guarantee task order); a multi-billion-dollar OASIS+ Total Small Business set-aside IDIQ from the General Services Administration (awarded December 19, 2024, with a $2,500 minimum guarantee, no ceiling specified in the source); a $4.33 million Other Transaction IDV from the Army Research, Development and Engineering Command for research, engineering services, and prototype development in integrated air and ground systems (awarded November 27, 2023); and a $49 million single-award Air Force IDIQ for MQ-1C Open Mission System Architecture/Command and Control (OMSA/C2) hardware, software, and support services (awarded June 14, 2023, through June 13, 2028). The $49 million Air Force IDIQ has been heavily utilized, with six delivery orders totaling approximately $27.6 million issued through September 2025, including a $10.6 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order for OMSA/C2 program support and software releases (December 4, 2024), a $4.31 million firm fixed-price order for OMSA/C2 GEMMI modified B-kits and spare kits (July 25, 2025), and a $2.33 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order for OMSA/C2 development work (September 5, 2025). The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Architecture and Integration Directorate IDIQ ($900 million) is also active, with four task orders at approximately $1,000 total value.

Recent prime awards demonstrate a portfolio split between production-oriented SBIR/STTR work and full-and-open platform delivery orders. Prime SBIR contracts include a $1.999 million Small Business total-set-aside Phase II award from the Department of the Army for XTechOverwatch open topic research (January 19, 2026, completion July 19, 2027), a $1.894 million Army SBIR Phase II for Advanced Miniature Mission Processor for Hyperspectral Applications (awarded September 30, 2024, completion September 30, 2026), and a $1.673 million Air Force Research Laboratory SBIR Phase II for modular open system architecture data environment development (awarded July 17, 2024, completion July 16, 2026). A $2.25 million Aeronautical Systems Center SBIR Phase III contract for MQ-9 Reaper open mission system enhancements (awarded May 28, 2024, completed June 28, 2024) and a $209,761 US Special Operations Command STTR Phase I feasibility study for AI/ML-aided aviation sensors (awarded August 15, 2023, completed February 29, 2024) round out the SBIR/STTR pipeline. A $143,000 Army Combat Capabilities Development Command purchase order for high-performance compute solution (September 16, 2025, completion January 20, 2026) and a $185,686 Air Force cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order for OMSA drawing package and fit check (December 1, 2024, completion April 15, 2025) represent smaller full-and-open work.

As a subcontractor, Parry Labs delivers systems engineering, software development, hardware components, and mission processing support to major primes. The vendor's principal sub relationships are with Torch Technologies (recurring technical and engineering support for weapons development and fire control sensor systems across approximately 30 sub awards dating from January 2024 through October 2025), General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (MQ-9 Reaper and MQ-9B open mission system components including common compute modules and performance-based logistics support across multiple awards), General Dynamics Land Systems (optionally manned fighting vehicle prototype development, Phase 3 and 4), Science Applications International Corporation (system software lifecycle engineering for Army digital transformation and FACE unit of portability software development, approximately two awards), and Applied Research Solutions (mission autonomy for air and space systems R&D, approximately six awards). Additional sub work flows through Booz Allen Hamilton (Future Vertical Lift analysis and testing), DCS Corporation (technical and engineering services for ground vehicle digital engineering), Northrop Grumman Systems (open architecture standards management R&D), Caci Technologies (cyber and ground electronic warfare support), KBR Wyle Services (material and equipment reallocation), and Atlantic Diving Supply (GEMMI rugged ground control station provision).

Activity accelerated sharply in 2024, rising from six awards in 2023 to 56 awards in 2024, then moderating to 29 awards in 2025 and one award in 2026 (through January). Combined potential value across all awards reaches $4.99 billion, though only $101.9 million (2%) is obligated, reflecting the heavy weighting toward IDIQs with ceiling values that dwarf executed delivery orders. Two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $12.6 million, presenting moderate recompete exposure. Work spans a diverse set of NAICS codes with engineering services (49 awards) and research and development in physical and engineering sciences (30 awards) dominating the portfolio, supplemented by aircraft parts manufacturing (7 awards) and aircraft manufacturing (6 awards), reflecting Parry Labs' deep entanglement in unmanned aircraft systems and defense electronics.

The SCI dataset captures minimal service-contract activity: five records in FY2022–FY2025, with one prime and four sub records, showing negligible FTE delivery (2.4 FTEs in FY2022, declining to 0.0 FTEs in FY2025) and zero invoiced SCI revenue reported as prime. This reflects Parry Labs' orientation toward hardware and R&D production rather than service-contract delivery, and the heavy sub-award footprint means most federal work flows through primes rather than through direct Parry Labs service engagements captured by SCI reporting.
