Aviat U.s., Inc.

Aviat U.S., Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of microwave radio systems and communications equipment headquartered in Austin, Texas, supplies radio equipment, maintenance, software, licensing, and technical training to federal agencies as a prime contractor on 95% of its recent awards and as a subcontractor to larger defense primes on 5% of work. The company holds no SBA designations and competes in full-and-open federal procurement, with recent awards spread across civilian and defense agencies.

Aviat's capability portfolio centers on microwave radio infrastructure modernization, digital radio systems installation and operations support, antenna troubleshooting and repair, and technical training delivery. The company's most substantial vehicle is a $4 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the Federal Aviation Administration (awarded July 17, 2026, through August 2031) for Program One digital microwave radio equipment, maintenance, software, licensing, and installation and operations support. Recent delivery orders under this IDIQ total $738,567 across three orders, including a $409,482 order for radio equipment and software (completion January 18, 2027, place of performance Boonsboro, Maryland) and a $200,491 order for Program One equipment and operations support (completion September 3, 2027, place of performance Washington, DC). Representative prime work includes a $880,972 100% small-business set-aside purchase order from the National Park Service for microwave radio outdoor infrastructure replacement at six telecommunications sites serving Golden Gate National Recreation Area (completion December 31, 2025), a $798,488 total small-business set-aside order from Air Force Materiel Command for a new microwave system at Cannon Air Force Base (completion October 30, 2026), and a $356,456 purchase order from the U.S. Geological Survey for an Eclipse IRU 600 radio platform supporting seismic data transmission (completion October 31, 2026).

Customer concentration spans 51 federal agencies with meaningful volume concentrated in five organizations. The Federal Aviation Administration (22 awards, $14.4 million combined potential value) and the Department of Energy's Western Area Power Administration (24 awards, $11.5 million) anchor the top customers by dollars. The Naval Sea Systems Command ranks highest by award count (37 awards, $4.7 million potential value), followed by the U.S. Coast Guard (28 awards, $2.3 million potential value). The distribution reflects Aviat's dual footprint in civilian aviation and defense communications infrastructure.

Aviat places substantial work through the Federal Supply Schedule GS35F0313P (35 task orders, $4.7 million combined potential value) and holds position on several agency-specific indefinite-delivery contracts: Indefinite Delivery Contract DEWA0003141 with the Department of Energy (20 task orders, $4.5 million potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract 693KA920D00009 with the FAA (9 task orders, $5.7 million potential value), and the Information Analysis Center Multiple-Award Contract (9 task orders). These vehicles enable recurring delivery-order work across multiple customer touchpoints within each agency.

Activity has grown from seven awards in 2022 to 18 in 2024, with a moderation to 11 awards in 2026 year-to-date. Ten awards carrying combined potential value of $12.3 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure across its FAA and defense agency vehicle positions. The company's award portfolio totals 310 prime and sub awards with combined potential value of $34.05 billion, though only $63.2 million has been obligated to date — the vast ceiling-value figure reflects the scale of the FAA and WAPA indefinite-delivery ceilings rather than expected near-term cash flow.

In its subcontractor role, Aviat serves as equipment provider and installation specialist to larger defense contractors. Named prime partners include Mantech TSG-2 Joint Venture (radio tower installation and deinstallation services, antenna and peripherals, and microwave backbone upgrades for Naval Surface Warfare Center Corona), General Dynamics One Source LLC (remote video surveillance system upgrades and platform products), HII Mission Technologies Corp (microwave backbone upgrades for Naval Surface Warfare Center Corona), and Serco Inc. (global sustainment of public safety systems). Aviat's subcontract work typically involves radio equipment supply, installation labor, and maintenance services supporting the prime's broader system integration or sustainment contracts.

Service Contract Inventory captures minimal activity: five sub-award records spanning FY2022 through FY2025, with federal FTEs declining from 3.0 in FY2022 to 0.1 in FY2025. This trajectory reflects SCI's capture of only service contracts above the $150,000 threshold; Aviat's primary federal revenue stream — product sales (radio equipment, software, licenses) and short-duration training — falls outside the SCI reporting scope. The company's actual federal services footprint is substantially larger than SCI figures reflect, as evidenced by the 310-award prime and sub portfolio and recurring FAA and DoE IDIQ delivery orders.
