Mdsa Group Inc

What Mdsa Group Inc does

MDSA Group, Inc. (doing business as MDSA Aerospace) is a privately held, founder-led aerospace engineering services firm established in 2019 and headquartered in Exton, Pennsylvania, with additional operational offices in Horseheads, New York and Fort Worth, Texas. The company delivers professional engineering services to U.S. government and commercial aerospace customers across structural and engineering design, finite element and related analysis, technical data and documentation, FAA flight clearance support across FAR Parts 23, 25, 27, and 29, and avionics and systems integration. Its underlying technology stack consists of industry-standard commercial CAD and simulation tools — FEMAP with NX/NASTRAN for FEA, plus CATIA V4/V5, CREO, SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, and Fusion 360 for 3D CAD — combined with 3D proof-of-design printing capability and AS9100-certified quality processes.

The firm's revenue model is professional-services based: projects are won through direct enterprise field sales, delivered on short- or long-term contracts on a project basis, and priced on scope rather than via publicly disclosed rate cards. Revenue is concentrated in two primary segments — Government and Commercial Aerospace & Aviation — with a secondary vertical exposure to unmanned systems training and simulation. On-site engineering support at customer locations and concept-through-delivery project execution are explicit parts of the offering. Services are sold directly via government and commercial contract vehicles, with marketing supplemented by industry conferences (I/ITSEC, NBAA-BACE, AUSA, H2AAC, Fleet Maintenance & Modernization Symposium in 2024), a company website, and a LinkedIn presence.

MDSA Group, Inc. operates three wholly-owned subsidiaries that extend its addressable market: Two-14 Aviation, LLC — a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business focused on quality, safety, and cybersecurity compliance consulting; MDSA Ventures, LLC — a start-up consulting and investment entity offering direct monetary investment and sweat equity; and NX Aviation, LLC — an aviation operations, administration, and training services provider with prior performance at DoD and federal law enforcement agencies. No institutional investment, M&A activity, public listing, or external funding rounds are disclosed in the input data.
