The Survice Engineering Company LLC

The Survice Engineering Company LLC, doing business as Survice, is a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Belcamp, Maryland, that provides defense engineering, research, development, test, and evaluation services to the Department of Defense across aircraft survivability analysis, weapons systems evaluation, battle damage assessment, live fire testing, and technical program support. Survice operates predominantly as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) on full-and-open and small-business-set-aside delivery orders and indefinite-delivery vehicles, with limited subcontractor engagement; the company competes across both set-aside and unrestricted vehicles with no single dominant socioeconomic posture.

Survice's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Army organizations. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 54% of recent awards, dominated by the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command (146 awards, $32.2 million combined potential value), the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (138 awards, $581.7 million), and the Department of the Army Test and Evaluation Command (137 awards, $743.7 million). However, potential-value rankings diverge sharply: the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Eglin Air Force Base anchors 90% of combined potential value across just 14 awards at $46.51 billion, driven by the Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (EWAAC), a $46 billion vehicle on which Survice holds a prime seat. The Army Materiel Command contracting activity at Aberdeen Proving Ground similarly carries $37.46 billion across 72 awards. This split between volume and value reflects Survice's dual posture: high-volume task orders under Army-led IDIQs paired with fewer, larger Air Force strategic programs.

Survice holds prime positions on five government-wide and agency-wide vehicles that anchor recent work. The EWAAC ($46 billion, Air Force, March 2023) has generated 101 task orders totaling $12.9 million in combined potential value for advanced weapons development and modeling work. The Responsive Strategic Sourcing for Services (RS3) IDIQ generated a $136.2 million delivery order awarded July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031, for Army Research, Technical and Engineering Services at Aberdeen Proving Ground. Survice also holds seats on the OASIS+ Small Business set-aside vehicle ($999.999 billion ceiling, awarded December 19, 2024, through December 18, 2029) and the OASIS+ Unrestricted vehicle ($999.999 billion ceiling, awarded December 17, 2024, through December 16, 2029), both GSA-administered multiple-award IDIQs supporting engineering and research across federal agencies. An Analytical Services IDV with the Office of the Secretary of Defense ($99 million, February 22, 2024) generates task orders for battle damage assessment and survivability analysis. Most recently, Survice was awarded a position on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program, a $151 billion multiple-award IDIQ (awarded December 29, 2025) supporting research, development, prototyping, and modernization of multi-domain defense systems.

Activity has grown modestly year over year—20 awards in 2022, 41 in 2024, then declining to 29 in 2025 and 5 in the first half of 2026 due to the source's current-date boundary. The combined potential value across all 1,117 awards (prime and sub) is $95.06 billion, though only $916.3 million (1%) is currently obligated. Twenty-four awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $217.6 million, representing a moderate recompete exposure window.

Survice's capability portfolio is grounded in defense-focused engineering and technical analysis. Representative named work includes the $136.2 million RS3 delivery order for Army technical and engineering services (July 2026); a $21.6 million Air Force delivery order under EWAAC for modeling and simulation tool development (December 2025); a $28.6 million Army delivery order under RS3 for data analysis methodology innovation supporting force modernization (June 2025); a $13.155 million delivery order for Joint Tactical Autonomous Aerial Resupply Vehicle acquisition under DoD Program Executive Office Aviation (March 2026); and a $99.86 million Naval Air Systems Command contract for TRUAS TRV-150C systems engineering, program management, and spares (April 2023, sole-source). Other recurring work includes P-8A survivability research, C-17 electrical wiring assessment, Project Horizon data analysis tool development, SBIR Phase II research on advanced topics, and vulnerability analysis across multiple defense domains.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue shows $22.6 million across Survice prime records for FY2023–FY2024, with $7.4 million in FY2023 (32.2 FTEs) and $15.2 million in FY2024 (70.2 FTEs). On federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates ran around $104.86/hr, ranging from $94.15/hr at the tenth percentile to $124.33/hr at the ninetieth percentile. SCI data shows volatile FTE deployment—174 FTEs reported in FY2022 (sub records), falling to 32.2 FTEs in FY2023 (prime records), then rising to 105 FTEs in FY2024. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for 0% of total hours, indicating Survice builds and staffs most delivery team labor directly rather than relying on named sub engagement on prime contracts.

Survice subcontracts to larger defense primes on a limited basis. Recent sub work includes F135 ECU risk reduction design tasks under RTX Corporation (December 2025, June 2025); Stingray Systems sense-and-avoid modeling and simulations engineering services under ManTech Advanced Systems International (August 2025, October 2024); FTR analytic support and NOVASTAR intelligence analysis tasks under Modern Technology Solutions, Inc. (September 2025, September 2023); terminal effects and ARL protection R&D services under IAP World Services, Inc. (June 2024, July 2024); Triton program verification, validation, and accreditation support under ManTech (May 2024, September 2024); and flash and laser airborne protection system work under BlueHalo LLC (August 2024). These sub relationships indicate Survice functions as a technical contributor to larger system integrators and prime contractors rather than a feeder of commodity labor.

The top category concentrations reflect Survice's engineering footprint: 439 awards carry Engineering Services NAICS codes, 229 cover Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, and 108 address Custom Computer Programming. At the PSC level, 290 awards span Support–Professional Engineering/Technical services, 111 address Systems Engineering Services, and 77–70 split between R&D applied research and operational systems development. Survice was founded in 2001 and brings substantial relevant experience in defense-focused technical services, with established track records supporting aircraft survivability, weapons effectiveness, and test and evaluation across multiple military branches and the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
