PROJECTXYZ

What PROJECTXYZ does

PROJECTXYZ, Inc. is a privately held, minority woman-owned technical solutions company headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, founded in 2002 by Kim Caudle Lewis. The company delivers engineering, logistics, foreign military sales, manufacturing, information technology, alternative energy, and broadcast media services to U.S. federal agencies—primarily the Department of Defense, U.S. Army, Missile Defense Agency, DEVCOM, and Aviation and Missile Command—as well as select commercial customers in the automotive and industrial sectors. Its core technology stack spans modeling and simulation, 3D printing and additive manufacturing (stereolithography, selective laser sintering, vacuum casting), injection molding, CAD-based design, virtualization, and high-performance computing, supplemented by cyber security, information assurance, and enterprise data transport capabilities.

The company's revenue model is built around four primary streams: professional services contracts with federal defense agencies (the largest stream), Foreign Military Sales case management and engineering support for allied nations, contract manufacturing for automotive OEMs and electronics, and broadcast advertising through its WTZT11 (ZTV-11) television station in North Alabama. Services are delivered through long-tail, custom-quoted federal procurement contracts with no publicly disclosed pricing, and through direct enterprise sales for commercial manufacturing work. The company operates from approximately 228,000+ square feet of combined facilities across Huntsville, Alabama (corporate HQ plus Cummings Research Park labs), Muscle Shoals, Alabama (IATF 16949-accredited manufacturing), and El Paso, Texas (110,000 sq ft Logistics Support Center managing 2.5+ million parts). Quality and compliance are anchored by ISO 9001:2015 registration, IATF 16949:2016 automotive accreditation, Southern Region Minority Supplier Development Council certification, and a Department of Defense Nunn-Perry Award.

With approximately 300 employees and recognized by Inc. magazine as one of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the U.S., PROJECTXYZ pursues growth through multi-service cross-selling into its defense customer base, geographic expansion via Foreign Military Sales, and selective capability extensions in alternative energy and advanced manufacturing.
