Programmed Response LLC

Programmed Response LLC, an SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) based in Huntsville, Alabama, holds prime positions on two major Department of Defense contract vehicles under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations. The vendor is structured as a limited liability company and self-certified small disadvantaged business competing on large indefinite-delivery vehicles rather than set-aside-exclusive platforms.

Programmed Response's federal footprint is nascent but dollar-heavy. The vendor holds seats on two multi-award IDIQs awarded in 2025: the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) vehicle with the Missile Defense Agency, carrying a $151 billion ceiling through December 2035, and the Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (EWAAC) with Air Force Lifecycle Management Center at Eglin Air Force Base, carrying a $46 billion ceiling through September 2031. Of six tracked awards, four are prime IDV positions or delivery orders under those vehicles; two are subcontract awards under Parsons Government Services Inc. for missile defense systems engineering services and Japan Aerospace Defense Ground Environment foreign military sales case support. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $46 billion, though only $124 thousand has been obligated to date — a signal that the IDVs are nascent vehicles with minimal task-order volume currently flowing.

Customer concentration reflects the dual-vehicle structure. The Department of the Air Force and affiliated AFLCMC Eglin command represent $46 billion in potential value (100% of the Air Force share) through the single EWAAC vehicle. The Missile Defense Agency holds two awards totaling only $500 in combined potential value, consisting of the SHIELD IDV ceiling and its initial $500 delivery order. The Office of the Secretary of Defense accounts for the two Parsons subcontract awards. Activity began in November 2024 with two subcontracts and accelerated in 2025 to four awards (the two IDV wins in March and December 2025). No recompete cliff is apparent in the next twenty-four months given the vehicles' ten-year performance periods; however, the EWAAC initial delivery order completes April 2025 and may face task-order recompete if Programmed Response pursues follow-on work under that vehicle.

Capability framing derives from the vehicle descriptions rather than prior execution volume. Under SHIELD, Programmed Response is positioned to compete for research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, and cybersecurity modernization in advanced multi-domain defense systems addressing air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats. Under EWAAC, the vendor competes in agile acquisition across multiple mission areas under NAICS 332993 (Ammunition Manufacturing), though the initial $1,000 delivery order provides no visibility into actual scope. Subcontract work to date encompasses missile defense systems engineering analysis and foreign military sales support. The vendor's Huntsville location aligns with the Missile Defense Agency customer base and regional defense-sector concentration.
