Shepra, Inc.

Shepra, Inc., a veteran-owned small disadvantaged business (SDVOSB) and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) based in Orange Park, Florida, operates exclusively as a prime contractor on defense and federal supply-chain programs, with a portfolio anchored by two multi-billion-dollar indefinite delivery contracts and a strong recurrence in small-business set-aside research and development awards. The company competes full-and-open on most vehicle work but draws substantial volume from small-business SBIR and STTR set-asides, particularly with the Air Force Research Laboratory.

Shepra's capability portfolio centers on additive manufacturing research, advanced materials development for propulsion and thermal protection systems, and program management support for defense logistics operations. The company has delivered multiple SBIR Phase II and STTR Phase II contracts to AFRL focused on carbon nanotube metal matrix composites, hypersonic thermal protection systems, and additive manufacturing of structural components for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system. Recent prime work includes a $1.99 million MDA SBIR Direct to Phase II award (September 2025) for additive manufacturing of a structural thermal protection system for THAAD, a $1.75 million AFRL SBIR Phase II contract (September 2025) for Haynes 230 carbon nanotube metal matrix composites for propulsion applications, and a $10.1 million Defense Logistics Agency program management delivery order under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (March 2023, completed February 2026) for industrial capability and Warstopper support services at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

Shepra's customer concentration is extreme and driven by two dominant vehicle positions. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command anchors 100% of combined potential value across four awards, led by a $4 billion ceiling Seaport Next Generation (SeaPort-NxG) multiple-award IDC awarded January 2025 and running through January 2029; a secondary $500 minimum-guarantee task order under the same vehicle was issued in March 2025. The Defense Logistics Agency Headquarters accounts for 22 awards totaling $46.7 million in combined potential value, driven largely by a 17-task-order blanket purchase agreement (BPA SP470514A0130) worth $18.8 million. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration holds one award valued at $1 billion in combined potential value. The remaining customer set — AFRL, Naval Air Systems Command, and Army Materiel Command — collectively represent less than 5% of dollars.

Shepra's most substantial vehicle positions are the SeaPort-NxG IDIQ ($4 billion ceiling through January 2029), a single-award DLA Joint Additive Manufacturing Acceptability IV (JAMA IV) Pilot Parts Program IDIQ ($9.8 million ceiling through February 2031 for production of military parts using laser powder bed fusion, directed energy deposition, material extrusion, cold spray, and binder jetting), the DLA BPA SP470514A0130 ($18.8 million across 17 task orders), and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (five task orders, $31.4 million combined potential value). Work is performed at multiple locations, with primary administrative and manufacturing operations at Orange Park, Florida and Fort Belvoir, Virginia, with parts delivered to Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy facilities across Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

Award activity has been episodic over the past five years (three in 2020, three in 2022, two in 2023, four in 2025, two in 2026 year-to-date), with three awards totaling $7.2 million in combined potential value facing recompete completion inside the next twenty-four months. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor — zero subcontract awards in the source data — with no named subcontractors in teaming relationships. Across SCI-reportable prime service contracts, Shepra invoked subcontractor labor averaging 35% of total hours, working with six named subs, suggesting the company uses sub-teams for delivery on its larger program-management orders. SCI-reported invoiced revenue totaled $8.3 million over FY2022–FY2024 ($3 million in FY2022, $1.9 million in FY2023, $3.4 million in FY2024), with government-paid rates ranging from a 10th percentile of $159.51 per hour to a median of $167.13 per hour and 90th percentile of $172.72 per hour on prime contracts, consistent with mid-range program management and technical labor.
