AV3 Inc.

AV3 Inc., a veteran-owned, minority-owned small business headquartered in Charlotte Hall, Maryland, supplies audiovisual equipment, video teleconferencing systems, and IT infrastructure products to defense and civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor (47% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor (53%) on larger systems-integration primes. The company is incorporated as a Subchapter S corporation and self-certified as a small disadvantaged business; it competes predominantly in full-and-open procurement rather than under formal SBA set-asides, though it holds certifications as a veteran-owned small business (VOSB) through February 2027.

AV3's customer footprint is heavily concentrated in the Department of the Navy. The Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center accounts for 81 awards (40% of all awards) with $411.6 million in combined potential value, anchoring both volume and dollar concentration. The Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command places 61 awards ($8 million combined potential value), followed by the Department of the Air Force (10 awards), Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment (10 awards), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (6 awards). On the dollar side, the General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service dominates with a $50 billion combined potential value across 2 awards — reflecting AV3's seat on the GSA Federal Supply Schedule (contract 47QSMS24D0029, $500,000 ceiling, performance through January 2029) and likely other GWAC vehicles. The Navy Sea Systems Command brings $3.96 billion in potential value across 6 awards, creating a secondary concentration point.

Representative prime awards include a $10.98 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order with Naval Air Warfare Center for audiovisual, video teleconferencing, and IT infrastructure services under the Audio Visual Multiple Award Contract 2021–2026; a $248,571.50 firm-fixed-price purchase order from the Air Force for a Top Secret video teleconference system at Cannon Air Force Base (August 2023); a $195,713.75 purchase order from Air Force Materiel Command for VTC integration at Hanscom Air Force Base (September 2023); and a $173,197.50 purchase order from the Air Force for SVTC system materials and installation for 16 Special Operations Squadrons at Cannon Air Force Base (September 2023). Recent smaller-value awards include a $2.1 million Secret Service delivery order for video wall equipment under the GSA Schedule (December 2025, currently under a no-cost extension through February 2026), a $248,056.81 Naval Sea Systems Command purchase order for Mini I-Lab hardware installation at Dahlgren, Virginia (September 2025), and an $82,347.52 Equal Employment Opportunity Commission purchase order for microphone additions (August 2026). In its 49-item NAICS profile, the vendor's three dominant categories are Computer Systems Design Services (72 awards), Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing (57 awards), and Engineering Services (27 awards).

AV3 holds three named prime indefinite-delivery vehicles: a $500,000 GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (16 labor categories, $61.93–$146.49/hr, education from high school to bachelor's, no security clearances offered); a $21.1 million single-award IDIQ with Naval Air Warfare Center for commercial audiovisual and video teleconferencing equipment (performance through May 2025); and a $249.7 million indefinite-delivery, multiple-award contract under the Naval Air Warfare Center RAPID MAC (Rapid Acquisition Prototyping Integration and Development Multiple Award Contract) covering engineering design, systems engineering, and product acquisition across six service pools including audiovisual multimedia decision aide technologies, government-owned/contractor-operated and contractor-owned/contractor-operated information surveillance and reconnaissance, and embarkable systems (performance through March 2032). Against the NAVAIR RAPID MAC alone, AV3 holds a veteran-owned small business certification through February 2027. Task orders placed under the $21.1 million single-award IDIQ and the $249.7 million RAPID MAC constitute the vast majority of AV3's delivery orders from Naval Air Warfare Center.

Activity shows 28 awards in 2022, 25 in 2023, 37 in 2024, 13 in 2025, and 2 in 2026 (reflecting partial-year coverage). Combined potential value across all 204 awards (prime and sub) totals $54.39 billion, though obligated dollars stand at only $80.3 million (0% of potential), indicating that the large Navy GWAC and IDIQ ceiling values dominate the portfolio and have not yet been fully drawn. Only three awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $138 thousand), indicating minimal near-term recompete pressure.

AV3 operates predominantly as a subcontractor to larger systems-integration primes, with 53% of recent awards coming in sub roles. Named prime contractors the vendor subcontracts to include Indian Township Solutions LLC (recurring audiovisual installation support across Army Training and Doctrine Command enterprise classroom programs at multiple installations, including Fort Jackson, Fort Gordon, Fort Eustis, and Fort Sill), General Dynamics Information Technology (IT enterprise services and product delivery), BAE Systems Technology Solutions and Services (engineering labor on naval surface combatant and satellite communications programs), Leidos (IT services work orders), The Mil Corporation (systems integration and technical support), Lockheed Martin (onsite labor and platform engineering for maritime systems), CACI Federal (operations and maintenance tasking), Smartronix (non-DoD task order services), Atlantic Diving Supply (audiovisual equipment installation and video wall deployments across Air Force and joint facilities), Mantech Advanced Systems International (Naval Air Warfare Center aircraft division AV equipment), and Lockheed Martin (incremental funding for maritime security systems labor). The Indian Township Solutions sub relationship is the highest-volume sub tie, representing dozens of small AV installation task orders across Army training installations.

Service Contract Inventory captures only 11 SCI records (3 as prime, 8 as named subcontractor) and thus represents a narrow slice of AV3's federal services activity. SCI-reportable invoiced amount across prime records totals $111 thousand (FY2022: $50 thousand across 0.3 FTEs; FY2023: $62 thousand across 0.1 FTEs; FY2024: $0). On SCI prime contracts where invoiced dollars are available, government-paid hourly rates run with a median around $328.40/hr (10th percentile $139.01/hr, 90th percentile $517.78/hr), reflecting a mix of higher-cost engineering and systems-integration labor. The SCI dataset shows FTE footprint of 10.8 FTEs in FY2022, 0.1 FTEs in FY2023, 6.1 FTEs in FY2024, and 1.6 FTEs in FY2025; these figures represent only service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold and exclude product sales, equipment procurement, and smaller task orders that dominate AV3's actual delivery profile. On the GSA Schedule, the vendor's 15 active labor categories span IT support ($61.93/hr) through senior software engineering ($146.49/hr) with no security-cleared roles offered.
