Terry Ford Inc.

Terry Ford Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Philadelphia, operates as a subcontractor (76% of recent awards) delivering multidiscipline engineering support services to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, with a smaller volume of prior prime work spanning two decades. The vendor's recent activity concentrates on systems engineering, mission systems engineering, guidance and control systems, and payload and instrument systems work for NASA's space mission programs.

Terry Ford's customer concentration is extreme. Thirteen of seventeen awards on record track to NASA Goddard Space Center, representing 76% of recent award count and the entirety of identifiable potential value in the award portfolio; the vendor serves no other federal agencies in the source data. All thirteen NASA awards date to February 2024, reflecting multiple task-order calls under the Systems Engineering Advanced Services II (SEAS II) vehicle. As a NASA subcontractor, Terry Ford delivers systems engineering advanced services, mission systems engineering, payload and instrument systems engineering, and guidance, navigation, and control systems services under SEAS II task orders. Two named primes anchor the recent footprint: McCallie Associates, Inc., which issued ten task-order calls in February 2024 spanning systems engineering and GN&C systems support, and Space Network Solutions LLC, which issued a multidiscipline engineering support call to NASA's Engineering and Technology Directorate in February 2024.

The vendor's award history carries inconsistent temporal markers. The first four awards in the source span 2004 through 2006, with a seventeen-year gap until a single 2016 award; activity then resumes sharply in February 2024 with twelve awards in a single month. Combined potential value across all awards totals $139 thousand, a figure substantially lower than the $6.1 million in combined obligated dollars across the same award set — a 4,423% ratio that suggests the potential-value figures in the source do not capture the true scope of the SEAS II task orders. Terry Ford's work on SEAS II is classified by NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology) for twelve of thirteen NASA awards.

Service Contract Inventory data shows minimal federal services-contract activity above the $150,000 reporting threshold: three SCI records spanning FY2022 and FY2024, all as a named subcontractor, with an average FTE footprint of 0.8 and 0.6 across those years respectively. This thin SCI view reflects the vendor's positioning as a specialist subcontractor on NASA space-mission engineering work rather than a broad federal services operator.
