Squadron Defense Group LLC

Squadron Defense Group LLC, a for-profit subsidiary of Squadron Defense Group, Inc., manufactures and maintains secure modular facilities, containers, and specialized SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) systems for defense and federal agencies as both a prime contractor (43% of recent awards) and subcontractor (57%). The company competes predominantly in the full-and-open market without set-aside designations on its prime work, though it holds small-business certifications and has won small-business set-asides on some GSA MAS delivery orders.

Headquartered in Front Royal, Virginia, Squadron Defense Group LLC's capability portfolio centers on the design, manufacturing, and field support of modular secure panel systems, mobile SCIF containers, secure steel containers, and purpose-built secure facilities for sensitive compartmented information access. Primary NAICS categories include Prefabricated Metal Building and Component Manufacturing (14 awards) and Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (11 awards). Representative prime work includes a $1.58 million labor-hours definitive contract with the Office of the Secretary of Defense (awarded September 2023, running through September 2027) for monitoring, maintenance, and storage support of SCIF modular panel systems; a $786.8 thousand firm-fixed-price MAS delivery order from DHS Customs and Border Protection for modular skiff procurement (September 2022–May 2023, total small business set-aside); and a $494.1 thousand MAS delivery order from Air Force Life Cycle Management Center for two custom special access program-facility containers (April 2022).

Customer concentration reflects strong alignment with defense and intelligence agencies. The Department of the Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service accounts for 14 awards (the largest share by count), while the top five customers by count and potential value are the Office of the Secretary of Defense ($1.9 million combined potential value across 4 awards), GSA Federal Acquisition Service ($2.4 million across 1 award), the Department of the Army European Command ($1.2 million across 2 awards), and DHS Customs and Border Protection ($787 thousand). The variance between count and dollar ranking — GSA's single award carries the highest potential value — signals a mix of recurring smaller orders and episodic large-scale container or facility procurements.

Squadron Defense Group LLC maintains a presence on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, from which it has issued 4 task orders totaling $1.8 million in combined potential value. Sub work, which comprises 57% of recent awards (16 of 28 total), concentrates heavily with Kratos S2, Inc. on Air Force SBIR Phase III efforts under the COSMIC AES topic, where Squadron Defense Group LLC provides mobile SCIF container assembly, disassembly, adjoinment, and field support at domestic and overseas locations including Qatar and Okinawa. A secondary subcontractor relationship with Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. involved supply of 40-foot mobile high-cube containers (October 2024), and HII Mission Technologies Corp engaged Squadron Defense Group LLC for SCIF conex work on the PMRO persistent multirole operations program (February 2024).

Activity levels have held flat to modestly growing (5 awards in 2022–2023, 4 in 2024, 2 in 2025, 6 in 2026), with one award facing recompete in the next twenty-four months. Combined obligated dollars ($9.3 million) exceed combined potential value ($8.1 million) by 14 percent, indicating completed or substantially invoiced work on past contracts.
