Signalink Inc.

Signalink Inc., a women-owned small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Huntsville, Alabama, operates as a subcontractor on 77% of its recent federal awards while holding prime positions on a high-value set of IDIQs and BPAs, delivering aerospace and defense systems integration, engineering services, test and evaluation, and simulation and modeling capabilities to Department of Defense and Air Force commands. Signalink competes predominantly on full-and-open contracts rather than set-asides, though the company holds dual certifications as a Women-Owned Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and leverages WOSB set-asides on GSA vehicles.

Signalink's prime footprint centers on three major vehicle positions awarded in 2025 and 2023. Most prominently, the Missile Defense Agency awarded Signalink a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract on December 29, 2025, under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program, with a ceiling of $151 billion and a ten-year performance period through December 2035. SHIELD procures advanced systems and research and development across multi-domain defense — air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat detection, tracking, interception, and neutralization — with scope spanning systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization. Signalink's initial task order under SHIELD carries a five-hundred-dollar firm-fixed-price value. Signalink also holds a multiple-award IDIQ under the GSA OASIS+ Women-Owned Small Business program (awarded September 23, 2025, through September 22, 2030), as well as a WOSB set-aside position on the GSA OASIS+ Total Small Business IDIQ (also awarded September 23, 2025, through September 2030) where it has received 43 task orders across the CCDC AvMC (Combat Capabilities Development Command, Aviation and Missile Command) supporting aviation and missile element modeling, simulation, systems integration, and hardware-in-the-loop engineering. A $999.95 million multiple-award IDIQ on the Air Force Materiel Command's Test and Evaluation Technologies for Ranges, Armaments and Spectrum (TETRAS) II program (awarded June 30, 2023, through June 29, 2028) anchors test and evaluation capabilities for fifth and sixth generation weapons and cyber systems validation at Eglin Air Force Base, with six task orders recorded. Signalink also holds a four-year Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (awarded July 17, 2023, through March 10, 2027) valued up to $5 million for supplies and services, and a multiple-award contract under the Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (EWAAC), a $46 billion Air Force vehicle where Signalink received a one-thousand-dollar delivery order for conference services in 2021.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to Department of the Army programs: 43 of 69 awards (81% by count) fund PEO Missiles and Space (26 awards) and PEO Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (17 awards), with the remainder distributed across Air Force Materiel Command (8 awards), GSA Federal Acquisition Service (3 awards), and smaller allocations to Space and Missile Defense Command and other defense and civilian agencies. However, potential-value concentration tells a different story: the single EWAAC IDIQ at Eglin Air Force Base dominates at $46 billion combined potential value, followed distantly by Air Force Materiel Command awards at $2 billion. When accounting for the newly awarded SHIELD IDIQ's $151 billion ceiling, the Missile Defense Agency represents Signalink's largest single customer by dollar exposure going forward.

Signalink operates as a subcontractor on 53 of 69 awards (77%). The company's primary subcontracting partner is Torch Technologies Inc., which accounts for approximately 30 sub-awards spanning hardware-in-the-loop simulation, modeling and simulation services, and systems engineering analysis for aviation and missile programs under GSA OASIS SB Pool 5B. Secondary teaming includes Intrepid LLC (7 awards for Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance to the Integrated Fires Mission Command Project Office), Intuitive Research and Technology Corporation (4 awards for technical and systems engineering services for aviation and missile platforms), Cambridge International Systems Inc. (administrative and programmatic support), Science Applications International Corporation (software lifecycle engineering for DEVCOM AvMC), Wesco Aircraft Hardware Corp. (prototype integration and technical design support), KBR Wyle Services LLC (autonomous vehicle systems analysis), and Defense Systems and Solutions (H-60 helicopter de-ice system obsolescence work). Across SCI-reportable service contracts, Signalink demonstrated minimal presence: the Service Contract Inventory dataset captures only 7 records (all as named subcontractor, none as prime) spanning FY2022 through FY2024, with roughly 6.4 to 7.0 FTEs delivered in those fiscal years, indicating Signalink's role as a highly specialized technical sub rather than a broad-based labor provider.

Signalink maintains 62 active GSA Schedule labor categories under its General Services Administration contract, with hourly rates spanning $40.55 (administrative support with bachelor's degree and three years' experience) to $234.04 (senior subject matter expert with bachelor's degree and twenty years' experience). The portfolio skews toward engineering, analysis, and technical specialist roles — design engineers, project managers, senior engineers, and subject matter experts cluster in the $100–$150 per hour range — reflecting the vendor's positioning in aerospace and defense engineering and systems integration rather than administrative or lower-skilled support labor. No security-cleared roles are listed in the GSA portfolio.

Activity accelerated sharply in recent years: one prime award in 2022 expanded to nine awards in 2023, then surged to 30 awards in 2024 before moderating to 18 in 2025, driven largely by incremental task orders under the OASIS SB vehicle and the two OASIS+ IDIQs awarded in September 2025. The combined potential value across all 69 awards stands at $48.05 billion, though only $40.8 million has been obligated (0.08% of ceiling), reflecting the IDIQ and BPA structure where ceilings are placeholders for future task order issuance rather than guaranteed spending.

Founded in 2005, Signalink is a Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). Signalink's Quality Management System (QMS) is certified to the AS9100 Rev D and ISO9001:2015 standards. Signalink's core competencies include design, prototype, integration, and technical/programmatic services.
