Atlantic Signal LLC

Atlantic Signal LLC, a Topeka, Kansas-based small business limited liability company and manufacturer of tactical communications equipment and hearing enhancement devices, operates as a prime contractor on 87 percent of its federal awards and competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on a recurring basis—though it also wins open-competition delivery orders and purchase orders at scale.

The vendor's core federal capability is the design, manufacturing, and supply of specialized tactical communications equipment, hearing enhancement and hearing protection devices, radio headsets, COMTAC VI tactical communication headsets, push-to-talk systems, cable assemblies for radio communications, and related accessories for defense and law enforcement agencies. Atlantic Signal's customer concentration is extreme and tilted toward defense: the U.S. Marine Corps anchors the portfolio at 27 awards worth $72.7 million combined potential value—nearly 70 percent of the vendor's total $103.6 million combined potential value across all 238 awards. The Department of the Army Research, Development and Engineering Command follows at $17.1 million across 17 awards; U.S. Special Operations Command contributes $6 million across 7 awards; and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, and other federal law enforcement and defense agencies round out active customers. By award count, the FBI Headquarters Division leads at 42 orders (though valued at only $2.5 million—a high-frequency, low-dollar pattern typical of law enforcement tactical procurement), followed by the Marine Corps at 27, and the Drug Enforcement Administration at 17.

Atlantic Signal holds three named single-award indefinite-delivery contracts: a $45.1 million IDIQ with the U.S. Marine Corps for hearing enhancement devices and non-communication headsets (originally awarded January 2021, running through at least 2027 based on recent delivery order activity); a $5 million IDIQ with U.S. Special Operations Command for basic communications accessories suite devices (awarded September 22, 2022, ultimate completion September 21, 2027); and recent single-award IDIQs from Defense Logistics Agency Aviation: a $899,999 indefinite-delivery contract (awarded March 16, 2026, for keyer components, running through March 15, 2031) and a $350,000 total small business set-aside indefinite-delivery contract (awarded November 26, 2025, for cable assemblies, running through November 26, 2026). The Marine Corps and Special Operations Command IDIQs generate the bulk of current task-order activity and dollars—the USSOCOM contract alone has issued at least five tracked delivery orders ranging from $49,929 to $499,966 over the past three years. Representative recent awards include a $346,118 Marine Corps delivery order for non-communication headsets (January 8, 2026, total small business set-aside), a $349,531 Naval Sea Systems Command delivery order for tactical communications equipment under the USSOCOM IDIQ (January 8, 2026, total small business set-aside), a $310,135 Air Combat Command purchase order for COMTAC VI headsets (March 27, 2026, total small business set-aside), and a $523,191 Army Research, Development and Engineering Command Other Transaction Agreement for communications equipment (November 21, 2025).

Activity peaked in 2024 with 32 awards; 2025 and 2026 have slowed to 18 and 11 awards respectively across the source snapshot. Only 2 awards worth a combined $537,000 face ultimate completion in the next 24 months, presenting minimal near-term recompete cliff exposure; however, the Marine Corps IDIQ and USSOCOM IDIQ—the two largest vehicles driving the bulk of delivery-order volume and potential value—both carry completion dates in 2027 and beyond, positioning them as the vendor's highest-value recompete events in the 24- to 36-month window.

Atlantic Signal subcontracts primarily to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc., with 28 tracked sub-awards dating from December 2023 through August 2025, supplying COMTAC V and VI tactical headsets, push-to-talk systems, laser aiming kits, and PELTOR hearing protection products. The vendor also subcontracts to ManTech TSG-2 Joint Venture on a Marine Corps Force Design and Modernization effort, and holds a sub-grant award for Next Generation Headset Development (December 12, 2023). Across the supply chain, Atlantic Signal's positioning is as a specialized component or equipment supplier to larger defense contracting primes and to end-using military and law enforcement commands; the bulk of federal dollars flow through Atlantic Signal's prime Marine Corps and SOCOM IDIQs rather than through teaming relationships.

Federal contracting activity demonstrates sustained engagement since at least 2005 (first tracked award March 2005), with growth from 5 awards in 2022 to a 2024 peak of 32, suggesting the vendor has deepened relationships with core customers and expanded order frequency even as individual order sizes remain tactical in nature. The Marine Corps relationship, in particular, anchors the vendor's federal footprint and represents the single largest source of potential value.
