About Space Kinetic Corp.
Space Kinetic Corp., an El Segundo, California-based manufacturer and minority-owned small business, serves the Department of Defense and civilian space agencies as a prime contractor on research and development contracts and grants focused on advanced propulsion and in-space logistics technologies. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime across all five recent federal awards, with no subcontract footprint, and competes full-and-open without set-aside designations on its defense work, though it qualifies for small-business set-asides on civilian research programs.
Space Kinetic's award portfolio centers on two distinct capability areas: electromechanical mass transfer systems for lunar and low-gravity environments, and advanced multi-domain defense system integration under the newly established SHIELD program. The vendor received a $275 thousand NSF SBIR Phase I award in March 2024 (completion scheduled February 2025) to develop an electromechanical mass transfer platform designed to enable cost-effective movement of resources on the lunar surface without consumable fuels or onboard propulsion. In parallel, Space Kinetic holds a $2.35 million definitive contract from DARPA awarded November 2025 (completion November 2026) for the Embedded Entrepreneur Initiative and Minimum Viable Product development, supporting commercialization of DARPA-derived space technology through competitive analysis, financing strategy, market engagement, and regulatory compliance work in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Most significantly, the vendor was awarded a multiple-award IDIQ contract by the Missile Defense Agency in December 2025 under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program, with a multi-billion-dollar ceiling running through December 2035 and an initial task order of $500. The SHIELD vehicle encompasses research, development, prototyping, systems engineering, production, and test and evaluation of multi-domain defense systems addressing air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats.
Customer concentration is fragmented across defense and civilian research agencies: the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency leads by dollars ($2.35 million), followed by the National Science Foundation, the Air Force Research Laboratory (Air Force Materiel Command), and the Missile Defense Agency. Activity has accelerated sharply — one award each in 2023 and 2024, then three awards in 2025 — though the DARPA commercialization effort ($2.3 million combined potential value) faces recompete within the next twenty-four months. The vendor's work classifies primarily under NAICS 541712 (research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences) and PSC codes for national defense R&D and applied research.
