American Towers LLC

American Towers LLC NRL Division, a Boston-based subsidiary of American Tower, L.P., leases wireless communications infrastructure—antenna sites, tower space, equipment shelters, and related facilities—to federal law enforcement and civilian agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open, non-set-aside purchase orders. The vendor competes entirely outside set-aside categories and holds no small business certifications; all 284 awards in the source are prime contracts (100% prime, 0% sub), with no IDV vehicles or parent contract seats identified.

Customer concentration is extreme and defensive. The Drug Enforcement Administration anchors 200 of 284 awards (70% of volume) worth $5.8 million combined potential value, spanning recurring antenna site leases, tower rentals, site fees, and maintenance of communications facilities at locations including Woburn, Massachusetts; Laredo and San Jacinto, Texas; Macon, Georgia; and Augusta, Maine. The U.S. Secret Service places 31 awards ($4.2 million), the Internal Revenue Service 26 awards ($2.3 million), the Bureau of Diplomatic Security 6 awards ($1.5 million), and the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives 7 awards ($540 thousand). These five agencies account for 95% of awards and 92% of combined potential value. Recent flagship contracts include a five-year $470 thousand Bureau of Diplomatic Security radio antenna site lease across five California locations (San Dimas, Tujunga, Chatsworth, Corona, East) awarded January 1, 2026; a $1.17 million Secret Service Option Year 1 antenna site lease awarded October 1, 2025; and a $710 thousand Bureau of Diplomatic Security multi-location California antenna site lease also awarded January 1, 2026.

Award activity has been uneven. The vendor secured 15 awards in 2022, 12 in 2023, 9 in 2024, 16 in 2025, and 3 in the first half of 2026. Combined potential value across all 284 awards sits at $15.5 million, with $11.1 million obligated (71%). Twelve awards with combined potential value of $1.6 million complete within the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure. The vendor's work is classified primarily under NAICS 231110 (Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction) for 164 awards and NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings) for 66 awards, with PSC codes dominated by Lease/Rental of Other Non-Building Facilities (152 awards) and Lease/Rental of Electronic and Communications Facilities (36 awards).

American Towers LLC NRL Division operates as a pure real-estate and infrastructure lessor to federal agencies, with no identified subcontractor footprint, no teaming relationships named in the source, and no participation in government-wide vehicles beyond one Blanket Purchase Agreement (SAQMMA17A0155) carrying two task orders worth $330 thousand. The vendor's federal footprint is entirely proprietary tower and communications site ownership—the company wins because it owns the asset the government needs to lease, not because of integration, labor, or technical service capability. Fifteen distinct federal agencies have contracted with the vendor, but the portfolio is 95% concentrated in DEA, Secret Service, and IRS recurring site and antenna leases negotiated annually or multi-year.
