About Argon ST, Inc.

Argon ST, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company based in Smithfield, Pennsylvania, manufactures specialized defense electronics and command, control, communications, computers, combat, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C5ISR) systems as a prime contractor on purchase orders and definitive contracts, competing exclusively in full-and-open federal procurements without set-aside designations.

Argon ST's federal footprint spans 405 awards valued at $225.2 million in combined potential value, with $122.9 million obligated to date. The vendor operates as a pure prime contractor with no subcontract role in the current award portfolio. Customer concentration is sharp: the Department of the Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command dominates by award count with 233 awards ($32.6 million combined potential value), while the Naval Sea Systems Command anchors the dollar rankings with 20 awards valued at $184.7 million combined. These two Navy commands together account for roughly 89% of all awards and 99% of combined potential value. The Defense Logistics Agency's Aviation, Land and Maritime, and Troop Support divisions represent smaller-value, higher-velocity procurement streams (109 awards across the three DLA offices totaling roughly $2.1 million in combined potential value), consistent with routine component replenishment. Representative work includes a $4.9 million Naval Sea Systems Command definitive contract for towed body sonar manufacturing (May 2024), a $2.975 million Naval Sea Systems Command towed body sonar system delivery (May 2024), a $4 million Naval Supply Systems Command littoral tow cable contract (July 2024), and recurring Naval Supply Systems Command purchase orders for cable assemblies, power supplies, transformers, optoelectronic displays, and electronic control panels ranging from $15 thousand to $240 thousand per award.

Argon ST places task orders on two significant parent vehicles: an Indefinite Delivery Contract (N0002412D6216) with Naval Sea Systems Command carrying 14 task orders valued at $59.2 million combined, and an Indefinite Delivery Contract (N0002400D6114) with 4 task orders. Work is performed exclusively in Smithfield, Pennsylvania and Lemont Furnace, Pennsylvania. Award activity has declined modestly from 19 awards in 2023 and 18 in 2024 to 17 in 2025, with 6 awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date. Fourteen awards (combined potential value $13.6 million) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure. The vendor's NAICS and PSC footprint reflects a focused component-manufacturing portfolio: Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (41 awards), Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing (39 awards), and Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (31 awards) top the NAICS rankings, while cable and cord assemblies for communication equipment (56 awards) and electrical and electronic assemblies and boards (44 awards) lead PSC categorization. Sonar-related manufacturing and tow-cable assembly recur across definitive contracts and purchase orders, indicating specialized technical depth in undersea warfare and littoral systems. Representative subcontractors on larger contracts include ITT Cannon LLC (electrical connectors and fiber optic cables), Prysmian Group Specialty Cables LLC (fiber optic cable supply), Dyco Manufacturing LLC (transformer and inductor assemblies), Piezo Kinetics Inc. (piezoelectric ceramic tube assemblies), and Reynolds Machine Company, a veteran-owned small business (mechanical fabrication). Argon ST's sole-source and directed-award prevalence across Naval Supply Systems Command and Naval Sea Systems Command work reflects the government's determination that reverse engineering or alternative sourcing of specialized sonar, cable, and electronic components would be uneconomical, anchoring the vendor's role as a qualified original manufacturer for mission-critical naval defense systems.
