Amrad, Inc.

Amrad, Inc., a San Diego-based manufacturer of Project 25-compliant land mobile radio systems and communications infrastructure, operates as a prime contractor supplying VHF, UHF, and 800MHz radios, base stations, receiver-transmitter components, and related accessories to federal agencies competing predominantly in full-and-open competition across multiple award vehicles rather than under set-aside designations.

Amrad is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation registered in SAM since 2002. The company manufactures portable and mobile radios, desktop and remote-mount base stations, antennas, batteries, chargers, installation kits, repair services, and programming software from manufacturers including Kenwood and Power Products, with place of performance in San Diego, California. While the vendor holds a Total Small Business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Vehicle with the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, the overwhelming majority of its prime awards (100% of recent awards) carry no set-aside designation, reflecting consistent full-and-open competition posture.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-threaded. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions dominates both award count and dollar value, accounting for 23 awards and $67.1 million (85%) of the vendor's combined $78.5 million potential value across 61 total prime awards. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation follows with 25 awards worth $3.5 million, and the GSA Federal Acquisition Service carries 3 awards worth $7.9 million. Twelve distinct customer agencies are represented, but the Forest Service represents 85% of dollars. Recent representative work includes a $3.8 million Blanket Purchase Agreement call for 2,025 single-band VHF mobile radios with trunk-mount packaging for the Forest Service (July 2023), a $2.6 million BPA call for dash-mount VHF radios and accessories (May 2023), a $420 thousand delivery order for 129 LMR dual-band RF decks under a Total Small Business set-aside (August 2024), and a $31.7 thousand delivery order under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule for 24 Kenwood VHF base station units to support LMR communications in Medford, Oregon (September 2026).

Amrad's primary vehicle footprint centers on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, where 46 task orders carry $83.7 million in combined potential value. The vendor also holds a single-award Total Small Business Indefinite Delivery Contract (SPE4A617D0150) with DLA Aviation valued at $2.0 million, under which two delivery orders have been placed totaling $89 thousand for receiver-transmitter components. A Federal Supply Schedule contract with the GSA Federal Acquisition Service carries a $3.0 million ceiling through May 2027 and serves as a multi-agency ordering vehicle; the Forest Service and other civilian agencies have placed delivery orders against it. Activity has remained consistent at 10 awards per year in 2023 and 2024, with 2 awards in 2025 and 1 in 2026; only one award carrying $32 thousand in potential value faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's capability portfolio is specialized and narrow — all category concentration sits in Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (NAICS 334220), with secondary exposure in Computer and Office Machine Repair and Maintenance reflecting installation and service work.
