3DB Labs Inc.

3DB Labs Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in West Chester, Ohio, manufactures electronic warfare and signals intelligence hardware and software platforms for the Department of Defense, serving 38 federal agencies across 174 recent prime and subcontract awards (67% prime, 33% sub) valued at $60.1 million combined potential value. The company competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations on nearly all awards; a small number of older contracts carry total small business set-aside language, but this posture does not characterize current activity.

3DB Labs' core capability is the design, development, and fielding of radio frequency spectrum analysis, geolocation, electronic intelligence (ELINT), signals intelligence (SIGINT), and technical surveillance countermeasures (TSCM) platforms. The company's flagship products are the SCEPTRE and MONARCH systems—customizable hardware and software suites that integrate spectrum analyzers, signal processors, laptop systems, antenna arrays, and training. Recent representative prime work includes a $2.33 million cost-plus-fixed-fee Army research and development contract for electronic warfare equipment (January 2026), a $1.646 million Army deployment order for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance software and training (February 2025), a $1.921 million Navy Criminal Investigative Service upgrade order covering SCEPTRE and MONARCH fielded equipment (April 2026), and a $746,400 Navy Criminal Investigative Service purchase order for a MONARCH technical surveillance countermeasures kit (August 2024). The company also receives numerous smaller purchase orders for software renewals, training, and specialized signal processors from naval commands, Air Force installations, and Special Operations Command.

Customer concentration is pronounced. The top five funding agencies account for 48% of recent award count: the Army PEO Enterprise Information Systems (25 awards, $26 million combined potential value), the Office of Naval Research (26 awards, $2.7 million), the Navy Criminal Investigative Service (7 awards, $5.6 million), the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command (5 awards, $14.7 million), and Air Combat Command (10 awards, $2 million). By dollar value, the top five represent 85% of combined potential—led by Army PEO EIS and the newly awarded Naval Information Warfare Systems Command Basic Ordering Agreement. The concentration signal is clear: 3DB Labs anchors its prime work to Army spectrum-analysis modernization and Navy signals intelligence refresh missions, with secondary exposure across Air Force and Special Operations Command training and equipment procurements.

Vehicle position is dominated by a single-award $14.5 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with Army PEO Enterprise Information Systems running through September 2028, which has generated 21 task orders valued at $6.8 million since May 2023. Recent awards include delivery orders for MONARCH laptop computers ($330,000, December 2024), deployable ISR software and training ($1.646 million, February 2025), KIRBY signal processor systems ($331,500, February 2024), and engineering field support ($238,000, July 2025). 3DB Labs also holds a newly awarded $14.7 million Naval Information Warfare Systems Command Basic Ordering Agreement effective through April 2031 covering Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance product acquisition, systems engineering, training, and technical support. A $475,000 Federal Supply Schedule contract with GSA (multiple-award vehicle, June 2025 through June 2030) enables ordering of SCEPTRE and MONARCH platforms nationwide. The company also participates in several other IDIQs carrying smaller task order volumes, including H9225417D0001 (13 task orders) and W56KGY24D0001 (5 task orders).

Activity has accelerated sharply. Awards per year grew from 10 in 2022 to 19 in 2023, 54 in 2024, and 50 in 2025, demonstrating consistent momentum across the Navy and Army customer base. Sixteen awards (combined potential value $7.5 million) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months—a moderate recompete exposure anchored by contract renewals rather than a cliff.

3DB Labs operates primarily as a prime contractor (67% of recent awards) but maintains active subcontractor relationships with major defense primes. Named subs include Lockheed Martin (multiple SCEPTRE training and foreign military sales orders), Leidos (signals intelligence support and sensor sustainment), Booz Allen Hamilton (ESID program support), CACI (special operations forces training and planning support), Kratos S2 (SBIR Phase III signal processing and MONARCH hardware), HII Mission Technologies (air force persistent surveillance systems), and MITRE (tactical systems engineering research). SCI-reported federal service contract activity is minimal—only three records spanning FY2022–FY2024, with a combined workforce footprint averaging 1.5 FTEs as a named subcontractor on service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold. This indicates that 3DB Labs' federal revenue is driven almost entirely by product sales and equipment orders rather than labor-hour services; SCI captures neither goods nor the full scope of the company's prime delivery model.

3DB Labs holds no majority ownership designation (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, etc.) and does not pursue set-aside opportunities as a strategic posture, competing instead on full-and-open basis. The company manufactures goods as a primary business line, with NAICS spread across Radio and Television Broadcasting Equipment Manufacturing (27 awards), Software Publishing (14 awards), and Instrument Manufacturing for Testing Electrical Signals (14 awards), reflecting the integrated hardware-software nature of SCEPTRE and MONARCH systems. PSC codes reinforce this posture: Radio and Television Communication Equipment (16 awards), Information Technology Software (9 awards), and Electronic Countermeasures Equipment (7 awards) dominate the profile.
