BK Technologies Inc.

BK Technologies Inc., headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, manufactures portable and mobile radio systems, batteries, chargers, and communications accessories for federal agencies, competing predominantly as a prime contractor (98% of awards) under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competition on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule.

The company operates across a broad federal customer base spanning 37 agencies. The top customer by potential value is the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions, accounting for six awards worth $13.9 million combined potential value — predominantly fire service radio equipment, batteries, and accessories. The Department of the Interior dominates by award count, with Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 and Region 3 collectively placing ten awards valued at $61 thousand combined potential value, alongside the Bureau of Land Management's Idaho, Alaska, and National Office regions contributing $2.2 million across five awards. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration rounds out the top-five list with two awards worth $114 thousand for mobile radios and batteries. The top five customers account for 35% of awards and 91% of combined potential value, signaling concentrated exposure to Interior and USDA fire-management and wildfire operations. Recent representative awards include a $10.9 million delivery order from the General Services Administration on September 15, 2026, for BK radios subscriber units and LMR nationwide subscriber units under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule; a $1.51 million delivery order from the Department of the Interior Idaho Region on May 22, 2026, for lifecycle handheld radios; and a $51.5 thousand purchase order from the Forest Service Region 10 Alaska Region on August 26, 2026, for BK radio batteries and accessories set aside for total small business.

BK Technologies derives 90% of its combined potential value from the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, where seventeen task orders carry $15.9 million combined potential value. The vendor also sits on two blanket purchase agreements and one indefinite delivery contract, though these vehicles carry minimal dollar concentration. Activity has accelerated significantly — from six awards in 2022 to twenty in 2026 — with eighteen awards (combined potential value $16 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing the vendor to substantial recompete demand in that window. Set-aside posture splits between total small business designations (roughly 40% of recent awards) and full-and-open competition on GSA Schedule, with the two approaches reflecting customer agency preference rather than vendor strategy. The company holds two named subsidiaries, Relm Communications of Florida, Inc. and Relm Communications, Inc., both for-profit manufacturers of goods; the Relm branding surfaces on several awards, indicating the subsidiaries remain operationally distinct product lines. BK Technologies subcontracts minimally (one sub award in the source), functioning almost entirely as a direct federal prime rather than a sub-tier player. NAICS concentration sits with Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (334220), supporting 81% of awards, with secondary exposure in communications equipment manufacturing and computer-related services.
