Insights

Castellum's SSI won a significant $66.2 million full‑and‑open, five‑year contract with NAWCAD LKE.

Castellum’s SSI subsidiary will deliver logistics, engineering, and cyber support for Aircraft Launch Recovery Equipment and Support Equipment under a five‑year full and open prime contract valued at $66.2 million. The award covers work across the MO&I department’s three divisions and applies to carriers, air‑capable ships, and related systems. The company states this is its first full‑and‑open prime without small‑business set‑aside limits and its second‑largest contract win.

The contract is subject to standard federal risks: potential protests, availability of government funding, and termination for cause or convenience. Those contingencies directly affect revenue timing and contract realization; they remain explicit limits on near‑term certainty. Also note the company framed this as reinforcing capabilities, hiring, and reinvestment plans, but those are management intentions rather than guaranteed outcomes.

Watch for three concrete, monitorable items over the five‑year period: whether any formal protest is filed and resolved, quarterly disclosures of contract revenue recognition and backlog, and updates on government funding or any contract modifications. Also watch execution milestones tied to NAWCAD LKE deliverables within the first 12–18 months for early revenue visibility.

VIENNA, Va., Oct. 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Castellum, Inc. (NYSE-American: CTM) (“Castellum” or “CTM”), a cybersecurity, electronic warfare, and software engineering services company focused on the federal government, announces that its Specialty Systems, Inc. (“SSI”) subsidiary has been awarded a $66.2 million full and open, five year contract for logistics, engineering, cyber support services needed in support of the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (“NAWCAD”) Lakehurst (“LKE”) Mission Operations & Integration (“MO&I”) Department. NAWCAD LKE is the lead activity responsible for Navy Aircraft Platform Support Equipment (“SE”), Aircraft Launch Recovery Equipment (“ALRE”), and provides support to additional Joint Service, Foreign Military Sales (“FMS”), and Department of Defense (“DoD”) programs. The MO&I department consists of three divisions: the Digital Engineering Division, the Engineering Integration Division, and the Logistics and Maintenance Integration Division. All three of these divisions support ALRE and SE teams at NAWCAD LKE. SSI will provide services supporting the execution of logistics, engineering, and cyber work products for aircraft carriers and air-capable ships and associated support systems.

This award represents Castellum’s first full and open prime contract win with no small-business set-aside restrictions. It is also the second-largest contract win in the company’s history. As with all government contract awards, it is subject to potential protests, government funding, and the government's ability to terminate contracts for cause or for convenience. Please see Castellum’s risk factors in its annual report on Form 10-K for further information.

“This win is the reflection of the hard work of our SSI leadership and CTM professionals. It is an example that our targeted strategy to focus on full and open opportunities in our pipeline as we transition to a large business is working,” said Drew Merriman, Chief Operating Officer of Castellum.

“Our CTM team is on a roll. I am excited, encouraged, confident and indeed very proud of our incredible CTM team that has brought home two major prime contracts in the past seven months:  First our $103M+ win which we announced in February and now this $66M+ win in the Full and Open category amongst SeaPort contract holders, overcoming keen competition from a number of other very capable large businesses.
