QED Secure Solutions LLC

QED Secure Solutions LLC, doing business as QED, is a veteran-owned small business based in Coppell, Texas that delivers cybersecurity products, vulnerability assessments, and specialized training for Department of Defense weapon systems and operational technology infrastructure as a prime contractor across a concentrated Air Force portfolio. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements and SBIR/STTR set-asides; recent awards carry no socioeconomic set-aside designations.

QED's federal footprint is heavily anchored to a single $42.6 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with the U.S. Air Force (awarded August 2023, running through August 2026) for SBIR Phase III cybersecurity services. Delivery orders issued under this IDC span cyber vulnerability assessments for weapons systems, intrusion detection, secure communications, and cybersecurity training for critical infrastructure. Representative recent work includes a $4.725 million firm-fixed-price delivery order (February 2026) from Air Force Installation Contracting Agency for AFIT Cyber Essentials training delivery at Eglin Air Force Base (completion February 2030); a $1.59 million order (September 2025) for SBIR Phase III training classes (completion September 2029); and a $1.125 million firm-fixed-price order (October 2024) from Air Combat Command for operational technology infrastructure cybersecurity training (completion September 2025). Additional work includes a $1.07 million SBIR Phase II definitive contract (August 2024) from Air Force Research Laboratory for Sequential SBIR Phase II GAMEPLAN development, and a $849.7 thousand SBIR Phase II award (June 2023) for avionics intrusion detection and attack identification (completion June 2025). QED also holds a position on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule; seven delivery orders against the MAS carry combined potential value of $1.9 million for AFIT cybersecurity courses and ICS security trainer provision.

Customer concentration sits almost entirely within the Air Force enterprise. The top five customer organizations account for 55% of awards by count but 86% of combined potential value: the Department of the Air Force ($43.2 million across five awards), Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center Eglin Air Force Base ($5 million, one award), Air Force Installation Contracting Agency ($4.7 million, one award), Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory ($3.3 million across four awards), and Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service ($2.9 million across three awards). Activity has grown from three awards in 2022 to nine in 2024, with only one award completing inside the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $1.1 million), indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. Work is performed primarily at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, with subordinate locations as required by task orders. QED remains 100% prime (no subcontract footprint) and operates across R&D-focused NAICS categories (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences dominates with 26 awards) with combined potential value of $69 million and $14.6 million in obligated dollars (21% of potential).
