Amrad, Inc.

Amrad, Inc. is a San Diego-based telecommunications equipment manufacturer specializing in Project 25-compliant land mobile radio (LMR) systems and related communications infrastructure. The company, registered in the System for Award Management since January 2002, operates as a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation and has established itself as a critical supplier of public safety and operational communications equipment to federal agencies managing extensive geographic territories and complex field operations. Amrad manufactures and supplies a comprehensive range of VHF, UHF, and 800MHz radio systems, including mobile radios, base stations, receiver-transmitter components, and associated accessories that support wildfire suppression, law enforcement, emergency response, and general land management operations across the federal government.

Amrad's federal contract portfolio demonstrates extensive experience delivering specialized telecommunications equipment across multiple federal agencies, with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service serving as the dominant customer. The company has received numerous Blanket Purchase Agreement calls and delivery orders valued collectively in the tens of millions of dollars, including major procurements such as a $3.83 million order for 2,025 single-band VHF mobile radios with trunk mount packaging awarded in July 2023, a $3.48 million order for 1,967 single-band VHF remote mount mobile radios awarded in May 2024, and a $2.57 million order for VHF single-band mobile radios with dash mount packaging awarded in May 2023. Additional significant awards include a $2.02 million contract for land mobile radio subscriber units awarded in September 2024, a $420,341 order for 129 LMR dual-band radio frequency decks awarded under a Total Small Business set-aside in August 2024, and numerous smaller delivery orders for base stations, microphones, charging stations, and various radio configurations ranging from approximately $5,500 to $400,000 per order. Beyond the Forest Service, Amrad has also received contract awards from the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation for receiver-transmitter components, with delivery orders valued at $45,254.70 and $44,043.69, and from unspecified civilian federal agencies under the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule for mobile radios and related equipment. The vast majority of Amrad's awards have been issued without set-aside designations, reflecting the company's ability to compete in full and open competition, though the company has successfully won contracts designated for small business set-asides, demonstrating its qualified small business status with certain agencies.

Amrad currently holds three active federal contract Indefinite Delivery Vehicles that serve as the foundation for ongoing procurement relationships with federal agencies. The largest vehicle is a $49.999 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, awarded on May 6, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of May 6, 2026, which establishes a framework for the Forest Service to procure various land mobile radio equipment, subscriber units, base stations, microphones, and related accessories on a firm fixed price basis to support the agency's wildland fire suppression and resource management programs across its 193 million acres of public lands. Amrad also holds a $3.0 million Federal Supply Schedule contract with the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service, awarded on May 31, 2022, and effective through May 30, 2027, which covers Special Item Numbers 33411 and 811212 encompassing portable and mobile radios, base stations, antennas, batteries, chargers, installation kits, repair services, and programming software from multiple manufacturers including Kenwood and Power Products. This GSA schedule contract has generated numerous delivery orders from the Forest Service and other federal civilian agencies for various mobile radio configurations and accessories. Finally, Amrad holds a $1.999 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation on May 23, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of May 22, 2027, which focuses on the procurement of receiver-transmitter components to support DLA Aviation's inventory maintenance and operational requirements; two delivery orders totaling approximately $89,298 have been executed under this vehicle as of the current award data, representing only a small portion of the contract ceiling and indicating the vehicle's role as an essential procurement mechanism enabling rapid acquisition of critical telecommunications components while maintaining small business competition protections.
