Spinqi LLC

Spinqi LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Rockville, Maryland, holds a prime position on the Missile Defense Agency's Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ and has received a small-business set-aside SBIR Phase I research contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory, competing under full-and-open and small-business set-aside designations respectively.

The vendor operates as a sole proprietor limited liability company with a nascent federal footprint. Three awards span two customer agencies: the Missile Defense Agency and the Air Force Research Laboratory, representing 100% of awards in the source data. The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded $74,970 under SBIR Phase I (total small business set-aside, performance period ending November 2024) for research effort FX245-PCSO1-0558. Spinqi's larger positioning stems from its seat on the SHIELD IDIQ, a multi-billion-dollar, ten-year vehicle awarded by the Missile Defense Agency on January 21, 2026, with a December 28, 2035 ultimate completion date. The SHIELD contract procures research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity modernization, and disruptive technologies to counter ballistic, hypersonic, cruise missiles, and advanced aerial attacks across classified and unclassified defense domains, leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. Spinqi has received one initial delivery order under SHIELD valued at $500 as of January 2026.

Activity is minimal and recent — one award in 2024, two in 2026, with combined potential value of $75 thousand and combined dollars obligated matching 100% of that amount. All three awards are prime contracts; the vendor has no subcontract footprint in the source. Spinqi's award profile sits exclusively in research and development and national defense R&D services under NAICS 541712 and related defense PSC codes, positioning the vendor as an emerging participant in MDA and AFRL research modernization efforts.
