The Shenton Group

What The Shenton Group does

The Shenton Group is a registered small business founded in 2003 that provides professional services to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) engineering and industrial base. Headquartered in Sterling Heights, Michigan, with 11-50 employees, the firm offers four integrated core capabilities: Acquisition & Logistics, Operational Analysis & Engineering, Program Support, and Education & Training. The company positions itself around subject matter experts with a hybrid of industry and government experience, emphasizing work that goes beyond traditional government paradigms and includes manufacturing and environmental studies, financial assessments, and business case development. Pricing and revenue specifics are not publicly disclosed, consistent with a quote-based, contract-driven federal services model.

The firm's go-to-market is direct enterprise engagement with DoD program offices. Its flagship delivery vehicle is the DBOC Joint Venture, co-founded with Azimuth Consulting Services specifically to support the Joint Program Executive Office Armaments & Ammunition (JPEO A&A) Project Director Joint Services (PD JS) under contracts W15QKN-18-D-0111 and W15QKN-22-D-0004, with a current period of performance running from November 16, 2021 through November 15, 2026. The joint venture also integrates four exclusive team members — Northeastern Energetic Process Services Company (CT), Benham Design (MO), Franklin Engineering Group (TN), and Safety Management Services (UT) — enabling distributed mission delivery.

The Shenton Group operates with a low public profile: no disclosed management team, no outside funding history, no parent company, and no marketing channels beyond its corporate website. Its identity (DUNS 143610868, CAGE 3RKC9) is anchored in small-business contracting status. While the company spans 20+ years of operating history, growth indicators in the available data are limited to the long-duration DBOC contract base rather than active product, geographic, or technology expansion.
