About the company
The Stratagem Group, LLC, a Colorado-based limited liability company and a subsidiary of Arka Group, L.P., operates as a defense contractor delivering advanced engineering and R&D services to the Department of Defense and the Missile Defense Agency, competing primarily as a subcontractor (79% of recent awards) to larger defense primes and holding two high-ceiling prime IDIQs with the Missile Defense Agency and the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
The Stratagem Group's federal footprint centers on defense and space-domain capabilities. Its two prime IDIQs anchor $1.2 billion in combined potential value: the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) contract, a $151 billion multiple-award IDIQ awarded by the Missile Defense Agency on January 21, 2026 with performance through December 28, 2035, procures multi-domain defense systems for detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats using artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures; and the JAIC Data Readiness AI Development (DRAID) Basic Ordering Agreement, a $249 million multiple-award BOA awarded by the Office of the Secretary of Defense on March 11, 2022 through March 10, 2027, covers data science, data engineering, synthetic data generation, and enterprise information management services to the Joint AI Center. Neither vehicle uses set-asides; both compete full and open.
Customer concentration is dominated by Air Force research and development organizations. The Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (AFRL) accounts for 31 awards ($16.4 million combined potential value), while the broader Department of the Air Force holds two awards worth $950 million in combined potential value (driven by the SHIELD and DRAID IDIQs). The Air Force Space Command Space and Missile Systems Center, the Missile Defense Agency, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense complete the customer set, collectively accounting for all 38 recent awards. The divergence between top-customers-by-count and top-customers-by-potential-value reflects the vendor's mixed posture: high-frequency task orders from AFRL alongside two enormous vehicle awards to OSD and MDA.
In its subcontractor role, The Stratagem Group delivers sensing, learning, autonomy, and knowledge engineering (SLAKE) R&D work under Applied Research Solutions, Inc. (multiple sub-awards in July 2021), next-generation overhead persistent infrared support to Lockheed Martin Corp (July 2022), and surveying and mapping services to Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (August 2025) for Air Force Research Laboratory weapon information system development. Work scope across sub relationships emphasizes applied research, systems engineering, and advanced technology transition for defense missions.
Activity has been episodic. The vendor received seven awards in 2020, surged to sixteen in 2021 (driven by SLAKE sub awards under Applied Research Solutions), contracted to two in 2022, then remained quiet through 2024 before receiving two awards in 2026 (the SHIELD IDIQ and a delivery order against it). SCI reporting shows minimal captured activity—0.1 FTEs recorded in FY2022 as a named subcontractor on a single service contract above the $150,000 threshold—indicating that the vendor's federal work is dominated by R&D, products, or classified contracts not covered by Service Contract Inventory. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $19.8 million, or 2% of combined potential value, reflecting the early stage of these IDIQs and the typical low-obligation posture of indefinite-quantity vehicles at award.
