3DB Labs Inc.

3DB Labs Inc., a West Chester, Ohio-based for-profit Subchapter S corporation, manufactures electronic warfare and signals intelligence hardware and software platforms—primarily the SCEPTRE and MONARCH spectrum analysis and SIGINT systems—and competes predominantly as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal procurements with no socioeconomic set-aside designations. The company has won 130 prime awards (70% of its portfolio) valued at approximately $769 million in combined potential across 187 awards since 2005, with recent activity accelerating from 10 awards in 2022 to 54 in 2024 and 50 in 2025.

3DB Labs' capability footprint centers on customizable hardware and software suites that integrate spectrum analyzers, signal processors, laptop systems, antenna arrays, training, and technical support. Core offerings include the SCEPTRE platform for radio frequency spectrum analysis, digital signal processing, communications intelligence, and electronic intelligence; the MONARCH system for RF spectrum analysis, geolocation, ELINT, SIGINT, and technical surveillance countermeasures; and derivative products such as MONARCH-RM-PRO-ITAR-SCHOOLHOUSE (a $638 thousand delivery order from Army PEO Enterprise Information Systems in May 2024), SCEPTRE-PARTICLE-1 software (a $225 thousand Air Force purchase in September 2023), and Spectrum Situational Awareness System production and fielding (a $2.425 million Army PEO Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors delivery order in May 2026). The company also delivers training, software support and maintenance, engineering field support, and deployable intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance software.

Customer concentration sits heavily with Army and Navy signals intelligence and spectrum modernization missions. The top five customers by potential value account for 98% of dollars and include Army PEO Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors (5 awards, $703.9 million), Army PEO Enterprise Information Systems (25 awards, $26 million), Navy Information Warfare Systems Command (6 awards, $17.5 million), Navy Criminal Investigative Service (7 awards, $5.6 million), and Navy Office of Naval Research (26 awards, $2.7 million). By award count, Office of Naval Research leads with 26 awards, followed closely by Army PEO Enterprise Information Systems with 25, creating a split where ONR places many small orders while Army commands anchor most dollars through larger vehicle positions.

3DB Labs holds four major vehicle positions. A $700 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with Army PEO Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors (awarded May 29, 2026, completion May 30, 2031) funds production and fielding of Spectrum Situational Awareness System variants, with two delivery orders issued totaling $3.83 million by November 2026. A $14.5 million single-award IDC with Army PEO Enterprise Information Systems (May 2023 through September 2028) has generated 21 delivery orders totaling approximately $6.8 million obligated value since award, covering MONARCH laptop computers, SCEPTREWORKS development, signal processor systems (KIRBY), training, and software support. A $14.7 million Basic Ordering Agreement with Navy Information Warfare Systems Command (March 2, 2026, through April 30, 2031) provides a framework for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance product acquisition, systems engineering, training, and technical support without obligating funds at execution. A $475 thousand Federal Supply Schedule contract with GSA (June 2025 through June 2030) enables multi-agency ordering of SCEPTRE and MONARCH platforms on a catalog basis.

Activity has grown sharply: four awards in 2021, ten in 2022, nineteen in 2023, fifty-four in 2024, and fifty in 2025. Fifteen awards valued at $13.9 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete opportunity. The company operates across 42 federal agencies, with the most diverse set concentrated in Army, Navy, Air Force, Department of Energy, Office of Naval Intelligence, and Special Operations Command. Across the source data, no significant sub-award footprint appears; Service Contract Inventory reports six SCI records all as named subcontractor across FY2022–FY2025 (totaling 1.8 to 2.4 FTEs annually), indicating that SCI-reportable service-contract labor is minimal and the company's federal business is predominantly product-driven. When 3DB Labs operates as a subcontractor, it delivers SCEPTRE software training, MONARCH systems, and signal processing capabilities to major primes including Lockheed Martin, Leidos, CACI, Booz Allen Hamilton, BAE Systems, The MITRE Corporation, Kratos S2, and HII Mission Technologies, typically on foreign military sales and intelligence community modernization efforts.
