About Red Canyon Software, Inc.
Red Canyon Software, Inc., an SBA-certified HUBZone firm and Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business headquartered in Denver, Colorado, operates primarily as a subcontractor (86% of recent awards) to large aerospace and defense primes, delivering aerospace engineering, systems engineering, and software development services for NASA and defense space programs. The company holds a prime seat on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ awarded by the Missile Defense Agency on December 29, 2025, with a multi-billion-dollar ceiling and ten-year term through December 28, 2035, though that initial delivery order carries only a $500 ceiling; Red Canyon also holds a position on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and has executed a $85,800 delivery order for SLD 30-SE CASS verification and validation from the Air Force under that schedule.
Red Canyon's customer concentration is heavily weighted to NASA, which accounts for approximately 83% of recent awards by count. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Johnson Space Center alone anchors 44 awards, with the Goddard Space Center (9 awards), Marshall Space Flight Center (4 awards), and Glenn Research Center (2 awards, $202 thousand combined potential value) completing the NASA footprint. By potential dollar value, however, the top customers diverge: the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory leads with $1.5 million across 2 awards, followed by the NASA Shared Services Center ($874 thousand across 2 awards), and GSA Federal Acquisition Service ($500 thousand). The 83% concentration metric reflects award count, but the dollar rankings show that smaller customer bases carry disproportionately large ceiling values while NASA's volume translates to lower per-award dollar ceilings.
Red Canyon's subcontractor footprint is dominated by Lockheed Martin, which accounts for the plurality of named sub awards across aerospace programs including the Orion Production and Operations Contract (OPOC) — where Red Canyon provides Artemis thermal analysis support, software build support, structural design, and mission integration services — and multiple deep-space missions including the Lucy spacecraft (mission operations support), Mars Atmospheric and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) (systems support), OSIRIS-REx (mission operations support), DAVINCI (parachute and mechanical engineering support), Tipping Point Cryogenic Demonstration Mission, and Lunar Vertical Solar Array development. Red Canyon also subs to KBR Wyle Services for space geodesy satellite laser ranging station deployment and engineering support. Outside the Lockheed relationship, Red Canyon holds subcontract work on NASA's Artemis program thermal analysis and software development work (through unnamed primes) and NASA Safety Center IT and engineering support services. Work centers on aerospace systems engineering, thermal analysis, software development, structural design, and mission operations support across both crewed (Artemis, Orion) and uncrewed (Lucy, MAVEN, OSIRIS-REx, DAVINCI) spaceflight.
Activity has accelerated sharply in recent years — one award in 2019, eight in 2022, thirty in 2023, eighteen in 2024, and eleven through mid-2026 — though the compressed timeline and high concentration in 2023 suggest periodic contract refreshes or task-order cycles rather than monotonic growth. The Service Contract Inventory dataset captures only 7 SCI records (all subcontractor work) across fiscal years 2022–2024, with reported FTE delivery growing from 3.1 FTEs in FY2022 to 8.1 FTEs in FY2024, indicating a modest workforce scale on SCI-reportable services contracts above the $150,000 threshold. Combined potential value across all 76 awards (prime and sub) totals $3.4 million, but combined dollars obligated report at $17.2 million (502% of potential value), signaling that actual performance spending has substantially exceeded contract ceilings — a pattern consistent with NASA fixed-price task orders that run to completion rather than stop-work at ceiling.
