About the company
BEI Electronics LLC, doing business as Broadcast Electronics, is a foreign-owned manufacturer of broadcast equipment and radio automation software that operates as a prime contractor selling specialized media infrastructure and technical services to federal agencies on a full-and-open basis, with no set-aside participation across its federal footprint. The company manufactures transmitters, program automation systems, and software solutions including the AudioVault and AVFLEX radio automation platforms and the Stirlitz Media Logger, and delivers associated commissioning, training, and annual maintenance services.
The vendor's customer base is heavily concentrated with the Defense Media Activity, which accounts for 91 of 138 total awards (66% of award count) and $9.5 million of combined potential value, though the dollar concentration differs materially: the GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors the top-customer ranking by potential value at $22.2 million on a single award. This divergence reflects Broadcast Electronics' presence on the Federal Supply Schedule GS03F4052B, where 118 task orders carry $2.2 million in combined potential value alongside its core direct-award relationship with the Defense Media Activity. Secondary customers include the U.S. Agency for Global Media (3 awards, $733 thousand), the Department of the Army (13 awards combined, $657 thousand), and the Department of the Navy (11 awards combined, $412 thousand). Award categorization is dominated by NAICS 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing) across 119 awards, with secondary exposure to radio and television broadcasting equipment manufacturing.
Recent contract work demonstrates the vendor's embedded role in AFN operations. A $564,633 firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded August 2025 covers annual AudioVault FLEX software license and maintenance support for American Forces Network radio operations at the AFN Broadcast Center and twenty-five overseas stations through August 2026, awarded under FAR single-source authority on the determination that Broadcast Electronics is the only vendor capable of delivering this capability. Earlier work includes a $301,866 AudioVault and AVFLEX software license upgrade purchase order (April 2022, completion April 2027) and a $169,143 annual maintenance contract with the U.S. Agency for Global Media for Stirlitz Media Logger support (September 2023, extended through September 2026 under total small business set-aside). Activity has remained sparse in recent years — two awards in 2024 and two in 2025 — with three awards totaling $1 million reaching completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure primarily within the Defense Media Activity and GSA Schedule renewal cycles. The vendor maintains headquarters in Quincy, Illinois and operates with no subcontract footprint; all 138 awards in the source data are prime awards.
