About the company

Ursa Space Systems Inc., an Ithaca, New York-based for-profit corporation, develops space architecture prototyping and hybrid defense systems software for the Department of Defense as both a prime contractor (57% of recent awards) and a subcontractor on defense analytics programs. The vendor competes under full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations across its prime footprint.

Recent prime work centers on advanced defense prototyping and space architecture capabilities. Ursa holds a seat on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ contract, a $151 billion multi-award indefinite delivery vehicle awarded by the Missile Defense Agency on December 29, 2025, which supports research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity modernization, and disruptive technology solutions across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid defense domains. Under SHIELD, Ursa received an initial delivery order on December 29, 2025, with a $500 ceiling and completion through December 28, 2035. More substantially, Ursa holds a $12.6 million Other Transaction Agreement from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, awarded October 21, 2024, for the Hybrid Space Architecture 2-Modular Prototype Software Solution, with performance scheduled through August 31, 2026 and place of performance in Ithaca, New York. This OTA sits outside the FAR and permits prototype development and production pathways distinct from traditional federal procurement rules.

Customer concentration is tightly focused on DoD. The Office of the Secretary of Defense anchors 100% of combined potential value across Ursa's tracked prime awards (two awards, $13.1 million), while the Missile Defense Agency (two awards, $500 combined potential value), United States Special Operations Command (two awards), and the Department of the Army Special Operations Command (one award) round out the customer set. Recent awards span national defense R&D services with experimental development focus and space R&D services, grounded in NAICS research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences.

In its subcontractor role, Ursa performs on Booz Allen Hamilton primes supporting EMAPS 2 analytics solutions (two sub-awards, September 2023 and October 2022), providing business and government decision-makers access to on-demand analytic capabilities, and on a CACI NSS prime for Special Operations Forces Emerging Threats Operations and Planning Support (September 2024). Ursa also places work under the Alliant II and One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services government-wide vehicles. Activity has accelerated modestly — one award in 2019 to two awards in 2025 — with combined potential value of $13.1 million across all tracked awards and no significant recompete exposure within the next twenty-four months based on available completion dates.
