About the company
Applied Physical Electronics, LC, a small-business limited liability company based in Spicewood, Texas, designs, manufactures, and integrates pulsed power systems and high-power electronics for Department of Defense and Navy research, test, and evaluation programs as a prime contractor (91% of recent awards) and occasional subcontractor. The vendor competes under total small business set-asides on roughly half its prime work and full-and-open on the remainder; no HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or 8(a) designations appear in the source.
Applied Physical Electronics specializes in electromagnetic pulse (EMP) simulator technology, Marx generators, and pulsed power system development and integration. Representative prime work includes a $12.785 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract with the Naval Air Warfare Center for concept and technology development planning (ultimate completion July 2029), a $2.834 million firm-fixed-price contract with Naval Sea Systems Command to upgrade the High Altitude HEMP Threat Simulator (sole-source award, August 2023 through September 2024), and a $1.738 million Air Force Research Laboratory SBIR Phase award for pulsed power innovation (May 2025 through May 2027). Smaller representative awards include a $598,658 total-small-business Air Force Materiel Command contract for pulsed power system development and integration (April 2026, completion October 2026) and a $373,180 purchase order from the Air Force Institute of Technology for Marx generator procurement (September 2025).
Customer concentration centers heavily on Navy test and evaluation platforms. The Naval Air Warfare Center dominates dollar value with 4 awards totaling $12.8 million (41% of combined potential value), while the Air Force Research Laboratory and Air Force Materiel Command together account for 10 awards and $5.8 million. Naval Sea Systems Command and the Office of Naval Research round out the top tier with 8 and 5 awards respectively. The top five customers by potential value carry 93% of the vendor's combined portfolio. Applied Physical Electronics holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Naval Sea Systems Command (awarded May 2026, ceiling $500,000, completion May 2031) and operates under Seaport Next Generation and SeaPort-e parent vehicles. Work is performed primarily in Spicewood, Texas and Bee Cave, Texas, with one performance location at Dahlgren, Virginia on Navy contracts.
Activity has been sparse but consistent: one award in 2022, two in 2023, two in 2024, and three each in 2025 and 2026. One award totaling $1.7 million in potential value faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. In its subcontractor role, Applied Physical Electronics delivers electromagnetic environmental effects support, pulse simulator engineering, and data analysis under American Electronic Warfare Associates and Booz Allen Hamilton on Navy and defense test-and-evaluation work. The vendor's work footprint clusters in defense R&D services and experimental development (PSC codes), with NAICS concentration in engineering services, physical sciences R&D, and electrical instrument manufacturing.
