About the company
Tandem Aerospace & Defense, LLC, a woman-owned and economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business based in Huntsville, Alabama, holds prime positions on the Missile Defense Agency's Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ and on the GSA Federal Supply Schedule, competing under full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurement with no established subcontractor footprint. The vendor is structured as a limited liability partnership and carries concurrent SBA designations as a minority-owned business, self-certified small disadvantaged business, woman-owned small business, and Native American-owned enterprise.
Tandem's federal footprint remains nascent — three awards issued between September and December 2025, all as prime contractor. The GSA MAS contract, awarded September 30, 2025, carries a $21 million ceiling through September 29, 2030, and anchors the vendor's visible dollar value. The MAS labor portfolio spans 145 unique categories at hourly rates from $42.46 (entry-level engineer/scientist co-op roles) to $382.87 (IT subject-matter experts with 25 years of experience), covering technical writing, financial analysis, program management, engineering, and management consulting across high school through bachelor's education levels. No security-cleared labor categories are offered. The contract covers five Special Item Numbers: Engineering Services, Engineering Research and Development, Engineering System Design and Integration, Testing Laboratory Services, and Management and Financial Consulting, with worldwide geographic scope, a $1 million maximum order value, and a $100 minimum.
The SHIELD IDIQ, awarded December 29, 2025, carries a multi-billion-dollar ceiling with a period of performance through December 28, 2035. The contract vehicle is structured for research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, and cybersecurity modernization across ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile defense, advanced threat detection, and multi-domain defense integration using artificial intelligence, machine learning, and digital engineering. Tandem received an initial task order under SHIELD with a $500 ceiling (firm fixed price, place of performance Huntsville, Alabama), representing the vendor's only obligated funding to date. Customer concentration is split between the Missile Defense Agency (two awards, $500 combined potential value) and GSA Federal Acquisition Service (one award, $21 million), with the agency customer base defined entirely by vehicle structure rather than established program relationships.
