About this agency

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Electronic Systems Center, a sub-agency within the Air Force's principal acquisition and sustainment organization, procures and manages electronic systems and related contract support for the Air Force worldwide. The Electronic Systems Center (ESC) executes contracts for communications, sensor systems, command-and-control platforms, and associated sustainment across multiple locations with administrative oversight at Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts.

ESC has awarded 10,127 contracts totaling $91.38 billion in combined potential value since 1993, with $75.66 billion obligated. Recent activity has declined: the center recorded 244 awards in 2023, 277 in 2024, 255 in 2025, 125 in 2026, and 2 so far in 2027. The most recently recorded award date is in August 2027, nine months and four weeks from today.

The competitive landscape is highly fragmented. Among the top five primes by award count over the last five years, Carahsoft Technology Corp leads with 110 awards worth $234.8 million combined potential value, followed by New TECH Solutions, Inc. with 49 awards and HPI Federal LLC with 33 awards; these five vendors hold 21 percent of recent awards by count. By potential value, concentration is even tighter: Caci Nss, LLC tops the ranking with 12 awards worth $690.6 million, Carahsoft follows with $234.8 million, and L3 Technologies, Inc. holds $210.3 million across 16 awards; the top five by value capture only 1 percent of combined recent potential value. The gap between count and value concentration reflects ESC's heavy reliance on task orders, BPA calls, and modifications—activity that often carries unreported dollar fields in source data. Across the portfolio, 1,554 distinct prime contractors have been awarded, underscoring the highly fragmented vendor base.

Set-aside activity is minimal. Eighty-one percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Small Business awards account for 10 percent of volume; Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, 8(a), HUBZone, and Woman-Owned Small Business set-asides collectively represent less than 4 percent of awards. This concentration on unrestricted competition reflects ESC's emphasis on mission-critical capability and technical expertise in electronic systems.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against ESC in current source data.
