About the company
Railhead, Inc., a Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, operates as a federal prime contractor delivering cloud-based collaboration infrastructure, defense systems engineering, and technical support services across civilian and defense agencies. The company is minority-owned, self-certified as a small disadvantaged business, and Black American-owned; it holds active SBA certifications as both a veteran-owned small business and an SDVOSB, expiring May 25, 2028.
Railhead's recent award footprint is heavily weighted toward a single transformational vehicle. In December 2025, the Missile Defense Agency awarded Railhead a prime position on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ, a $151 billion, ten-year defense procurement vehicle structured to support multi-layered homeland defense capabilities across the Department of Defense and related defense agencies through December 28, 2035. Work under SHIELD encompasses research and development, systems engineering, prototyping, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, and modernization for detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing ballistic missiles, hypersonic systems, cruise missiles, and advanced aerial attacks. The contract vehicle supports classified and unclassified programs, leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures; Railhead received an initial $500 delivery order on the contract award date with performance location in Huntsville, Alabama.
Outside the SHIELD vehicle, Railhead maintains active work with the Department of State. The Bureau of Diplomatic Security awarded Railhead a $714,452 firm fixed-price purchase order in July 2024 for cloud-based collaboration capabilities and SharePoint site maintenance upgraded to Chief Technology Officer standards, with performance in Vienna, Virginia and completion scheduled for July 7, 2026. The company has prior related experience with the State Department on a $528,540 SharePoint collaboration contract. Railhead also holds an award with the Department of the Air Force Air National Guard for $250 thousand.
Across five total prime awards spanning 2011 to 2025, the combined potential value reaches approximately $1 billion, although only $965 thousand has been obligated to date. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards); it does not pursue subcontracting roles. Service Contract Inventory reporting shows minimal federal services invoicing in the dataset: zero dollars in SCI-reportable invoiced amounts in FY2024, and negligible FTE scale (0.1 in FY2022, declining to zero in FY2024), indicating that SCI-captured activity does not represent the bulk of Railhead's federal service work. The company's primary customer concentration spans the Missile Defense Agency, the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Air National Guard, with the Department of Transportation FAA accounting for the bulk of combined potential value at $1 billion.
