Systima Technologies Inc.

Systima Technologies Inc., a small business manufacturer and engineering services provider headquartered in Mukilteo, Washington, delivers precision-guided munitions development, advanced weapon system components, agile pod support services, and specialized aerospace hardware to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (64% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to major defense primes. The vendor competes in full-and-open competitions across defense research and development, prototype development, and production contracting with no recurrent set-aside designations.

Systima's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Air Force programs. The top five customer entities account for 65% of awards by count and 100% of combined potential value. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Eglin Air Force Base dominates the portfolio with 34 awards carrying $47.53 billion in combined potential value—nearly all flowing through the Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (EWAAC), a $47 billion multiple-award IDIQ established in 2021. The Missile Defense Agency follows with 29 awards valued at $14 million combined, the Army's PEO Missiles and Space with 25 awards valued at $12.8 million, and core Air Force with 23 awards valued at $111.8 million. The Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory rounds out the top five with 21 awards valued at $16.7 million. This customer concentration reflects Systima's specialization in precision strike, agile pod support, and advanced materials development for rapidly evolving Air Force munitions and platform programs.

Systima's vehicle position anchors primarily to EWAAC (5 task orders, $25.7 million combined potential value) and a series of single-award Air Force indefinite delivery contracts. The EWAAC represents the single largest vehicle, issuing task orders through both the Air Force and U.S. Special Operations Command for design, development, qualification, integration, and demonstration of advanced weapon systems. Representative recent prime work includes a $12.8 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from USSOCOM under EWAAC (awarded September 2023, performance through April 2026) for the Speed Loader Agile Pod (SLAP) system development and integration on the MQ-9 platform; a $1.495 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from the Air Force (awarded June 2025, completion June 2026) for standoff precision-guided munitions and strike capability products and support; a $5.609 million Missile Defense Agency SBIR Phase III contract (awarded July 2023, completion December 2025) for shroud and window cover material maturation; and a $519,141 Air Force Other Transaction Agreement (awarded December 2024, completion December 2026) for ATREUS "SUNRISE" air drop platform and training assets development.

Activity has grown consistently over the past five years—nine awards in 2022 to twenty-eight in 2025, with four awards recorded through May 2026. Systima holds two significant single-award IDVs with the Air Force: a $45 million contract for Standard Operating Procedure Generation Management and precision strike capability products (awarded September 2025, completing April 2026) and a $47 billion EWAAC position established in 2021 and running through September 2031. The vendor also sits on the newly awarded Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ issued by the Missile Defense Agency in December 2025 with a multi-billion-dollar ceiling extending through 2035. Only two awards (combined potential value $13.4 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete exposure. Systima's Advanced Technology Support Program involvement comprises 24 task orders, primarily routed through Northrop Grumman and Raytheon as primes.

In its subcontractor role, Systima delivers munitions components, engineering services, and specialized manufacturing to Lockheed Martin (numerous NGI AUR development and weapon system development sub-awards), Raytheon (Advanced Technology Support Program microelectronic capability solutions and Coyote Block 3 autonomous strike support), Northrop Grumman (ATSP base operations networks and counter-UAS kitting), General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (Longshot unmanned air vehicle support), Dzyne Technologies (Small Payload Precision Air-Launched Inexpensive Delivery System canister design and manufacturing), and others. Systima also subcontracts to academic and research institutions including Michigan Technological University (ground vehicle survivability and manufacturability support), The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (smallsat hardware support and engineering), and Battelle Memorial Institute (Maritime Common Launcher System design). The subcontract footprint spans gas generators, shrouds, harness assemblies, window covers, structural components, and integration engineering across precision strike, space launch, and advanced platform programs.

Systima's award footprint concentrates in research and development and prototype development across physical sciences engineering, ordnance manufacturing, and aerospace components. The top five NAICS categories account for 172 of 204 awards: Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (60 awards), related R&D (42 awards), Engineering Services (29 awards), Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (24 awards), and Other Ordnance and Accessories Manufacturing (17 awards). The vendor's footprint spans both classified and unclassified work and includes performance at company facilities in Mukilteo and Mill Creek, Washington as well as government facilities including Edwards Air Force Base, Huntsville, Alabama, and Patuxent River, Maryland. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $131.4 million, representing less than one percent of combined potential value and reflecting the vendor's heavy reliance on indefinite delivery vehicle ceiling authorization rather than firm fixed-price commitments.
