Baron Manufacturing Inc.

Baron Manufacturing Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of aviation system components and airspace surveillance equipment, operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering specialized hardware, modification kits, and engineering support to the Federal Aviation Administration. The Oklahoma City-based company competes on a standard competitive basis with no socioeconomic set-aside designations across its portfolio. Registered in SAM.gov since November 2005, Baron Manufacturing focuses on Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) radio station unit kits, ASR-8 radar system modification kits, and Communication Remote Maintenance & Monitoring (CRMM) second-level engineering support that directly support the National Airspace System.

Baron's customer base is heavily concentrated within the FAA. The vendor has worked with five customer agencies across recent award activity, but 88% of awards and 94% of combined potential value derive from the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration's constituent offices. The FAA Headquarters leads the dollar ranking with 11 awards worth $13.5 million combined potential value, followed by the Non-Franchise Acquisition Services division (7 awards, $6.1 million), Franchise Acquisition Services (1 award, $3.2 million), the Aeronautical Center (18 awards, $2.4 million), and the Southwestern Region (1 award, $5 thousand). The Aeronautical Center dominates by award count but carries substantially lower per-award values, whereas Headquarters and the Franchise division anchor the largest individual contracts.

Baron holds positions on five FAA Indefinite Delivery Contracts. The most recent, awarded April 2, 2026, is a single-award IDC (6973GH26D00030) running through December 31, 2033, with a $6.25 million ceiling for CRMM Second Level Engineering—encompassing all personnel, management, supervision, materials, and ancillary services for communication remote maintenance and monitoring build services. A second-level delivery order against this same IDC, issued April 3, 2026, carries a $6.3 million ceiling and runs through March 31, 2030. Older IDCs include DTFAAC07D00076 (4 task orders, $1.9 million combined potential value), 6973GH19D00057 (3 task orders, $2.2 million), and DTFAAC12D00054 (3 task orders, $1.3 million). Representative awards include a $3.2 million purchase order for ASR-8 RF input redesign modification kits (April 26, 2023, completion December 31, 2025), a $910,856 ASR-8 control panel modification kit contract (May 1, 2025, completion May 20, 2026), and multiple $12,992 to $279,300 purchase orders and delivery orders for DME RSU kits and NAS assets. Activity runs lean at one to three awards per year from 2021 to 2026, with a total of 43 awards and $26.7 million combined potential value across the vendor's federal footprint. The vendor operates 100% as a prime with no subcontract work. By NAICS, Baron's work clusters in search, detection, navigation, and guidance system manufacturing (26 awards) and electronic component repair and maintenance (9 awards); by PSC, electrical and electronic assemblies dominate (13 awards), followed by electronic modules (6 awards) and navigational instruments (6 awards).
