B.e. Meyers & Co., Inc.

B.e. Meyers & Co., Inc., doing business as Bemeyers Co., manufactures advanced laser-based targeting, illumination, and observation systems for defense and federal law enforcement as a prime contractor, with 99% of its 948 recent federal awards as prime work and 1% as subcontractor support to Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and Atlantic Diving Supply. The Redmond, Washington-based for-profit Subchapter S corporation is not set-aside certified and competes full-and-open across defense and civilian federal customers, with product lines including the MAWL-DA (Modular Advanced Weapon Laser), IZLID Ultra infrared targeting systems, Squad Aiming Laser-Ultra High Power (SAL-UHP) kits, laser transmitters, infrared illuminators, and specialized optical subassemblies. The company has operated as a federal supplier since 2002.

Bemeyers Co.'s customer concentration is weighted heavily toward special operations and Navy platforms. The top five customers by potential value account for 71% of combined potential value: U.S. Special Operations Command (42 awards, $69.1 million), U.S. Marine Corps (56 awards, $45.6 million), Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (123 awards, $37.8 million), Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (49 awards, $34.8 million), and Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command (9 awards, $16.5 million). A secondary cluster of high-volume, lower-value customers includes Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (180 awards, $7.7 million) and Department of the Army (98 awards, $1.5 million), representing 54% of award count but only 10% of total potential value. The tension between volume and dollars surfaces the difference between routine catalog purchases through DLA systems (many small orders) and engineering-focused delivery orders against specialized contracts (fewer, larger awards with SOCOM and Navy).

Bemeyers Co. holds a $49.9 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with U.S. Special Operations Command for SAL-UHP kits with step ladder pricing, awarded August 14, 2024, running through August 13, 2029, and has already generated four major delivery orders totaling $18.1 million: $11 million for SAL-UHP kits (August 2024), $3.27 million for SAL-UHP kits (August 2024), $2.02 million for SAL-UHP kits (February 2025), and $1.8 million for SAL-UHP kits (December 2024). The company also holds a $1.69 million single-award small-business IDC with Defense Logistics Agency Aviation for laser transmitters, running through September 29, 2028, and Other Transaction IDVs totaling approximately $3.7 million across the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (Infrared Laser Landing Marker prototype development, $1.51 million, March 2025), Air Mobility Command (SBIR Phase II, $1.48 million, June 2022), and U.S. Special Operations Command (SBIR Phase II Squad Aiming Laser, $708 thousand, April 2022). The company's largest parent vehicle by order count is Federal Supply Schedule GS07F9132D with 317 task orders valued at $24.4 million combined, used by DLA and military customers for routine optoelectronic and optical equipment procurement.

Recent prime capability work includes a $620 thousand Air Force delivery order for 174 Squad Aiming Laser-Ultra High Power units (March 2026, completion January 2027), a $210 thousand Air Mobility Command purchase order for Phase I down range crosswind sensing (September 2025), a $159 thousand DLA Aviation purchase order for infrared illuminators (May 2024), and a $300 thousand U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command research and development contract for advanced laser systems development (April 2023). Activity trajectory shows modest growth through 2024 (five awards in 2022 to sixteen in 2024) followed by a decline to nine awards in 2025 and three through mid-2026, suggesting either a measurement window effect or a shift in DLA's purchase order consolidation strategy. Five awards totaling $7.8 million reach completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete risk concentrated in the DLA Aviation and SOCOM vehicles that anchor the portfolio.

In subcontractor roles, Bemeyers Co. supplies laser point marker assemblies and Multi-Spectral Targeting System (AN/DAS-4) laser components to Raytheon on Navy fire control and FLIR logistics contracts (May 2026, March 2025, October 2024), M-TADS/PNVS laser point markers to Lockheed Martin (October 2024, April 2024), and MAWL-DA rifle-mounted lasers and ultraviolet laser systems to Atlantic Diving Supply for Customs and Border Protection and special operations equipment programs (August 2024, June 2024, December 2023). The company's federal footprint spans 91 distinct customer agencies and is concentrated in PSC Night Vision Equipment, Emitted And Reflected Radiation (506 awards) and NAICS Optical Instrument and Lens Manufacturing (508 awards), with secondary exposure in aircraft gunnery fire control and navigation systems manufacturing.
