Spaceworks Enterprises Inc.

Spaceworks Enterprises Inc. Engineering Division, doing business as Spaceworks, a Georgia-based small-business aerospace engineering firm, competes as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards) on federal research and development contracts for space technology, hypersonic propulsion, and defense systems, with the bulk of work set aside for total small business under SBIR and STTR programs. Spaceworks is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Chamblee, Georgia, with a subsidiary, Generation Orbit Launch Services Inc., and primary NAICS concentration in research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences (62 of 110 recent awards), engineering services, and software publishing. The company competes predominantly under small-business set-asides; 97 of 105 prime awards carry total small business, SBIR Phase I/II/III, or STTR designations.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Air Force and NASA research laboratories. The Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (31 awards, $17.7 million combined potential value) and the Department of the Air Force (6 awards, $12.4 million) together anchor roughly $30.1 million across 37 awards. NASA Langley Research Center (15 awards, $11.5 million) and NASA Shared Services Center (19 awards, $6.9 million) account for 34 awards and $18.4 million, generating 69% of award volume and 85% of combined potential value across the top five customer agencies. DARPA, the Naval Air Warfare Center, the Naval Strategic Systems Programs, and the Office of Naval Research round out active work but carry substantially lower dollar values. Spaceworks holds a multi-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract with the Missile Defense Agency titled the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD), valued at $151 billion with performance through December 2035; an initial task order for five hundred dollars was placed on December 29, 2025. The company also holds a $2.999 million Other Transaction IDV with DARPA for responsive and expansible systems for high-altitude target retrieval, awarded August 28, 2024.

Representative prime work includes a $1.97 million SBIR Phase II Direct-to-Phase II contract from the Missile Defense Agency (August 25, 2025) for scramjet technology development for interceptors; a $1.299 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract from the Naval Air Warfare Center (June 27, 2024) for research and development; a $1.249 million SBIR Phase II from the Air Force Research Laboratory (July 15, 2025) for autonomous robotic assembly process maturation; and a $1.25 million definitive contract from NASA Shared Services Center (May 6, 2026) for Phase III SBIR recovery system development and demonstration for in-space manufactured products return. Spaceworks also licenses and sells software products to federal customers—QuickShot trajectory-analysis tools and FuseBlox connector systems—across multiple agencies. Activity has been consistent, with 8 to 12 awards per year from 2022 through 2025; seven awards (combined potential value $12.8 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.

Spaceworks subcontracts on selective defense and space programs to primes including Aerojet Rocketdyne (Mars Ascent Vehicle efficiency research, August 28, 2024) and Leidos (expendable hypersonic ISR/strike systems, January 18, 2024). The company holds seats on NASA Indefinite Delivery Contract NNL11AA05B (11 task orders, $1.3 million combined potential value) and the Federal Supply Schedule GS10F0455M (2 task orders, $2.2 million). Capability portfolio centers on advanced aerospace research spanning recovery systems, propulsion and guidance technologies, robotic assembly and on-orbit servicing, cryogenic systems, hypersonic airbreathing and scramjet vehicles, trajectory tools, and mission-planning software—work performed predominantly in Atlanta and Dunwoody, Georgia, with support from established relationships with Aerojet Rocketdyne, Leidos, and Parsons Government Services for specialized propulsion and systems integration.
