BK Technologies Inc.

BK Technologies Inc., headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, manufactures portable and mobile radio systems, batteries, chargers, and related communications accessories for federal agencies, competing predominantly as a prime contractor (98% of awards) under total small business set-asides across a fragmented customer base spanning 28 civilian and military agencies. The company is a for-profit manufacturer operating through two named subsidiaries, Relm Communications of Florida, Inc. and Relm Communications, Inc., and competes primarily under NAICS 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing).

BK Technologies' federal footprint centers on equipment supply and maintenance rather than services. Recent representative work includes a $197,398 full-and-open prime contract with Army Medical Command (USAMRIID) for P25 digital/analog portable handheld radios awarded September 2021; a $76,546 purchase order from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration for RELM mobile radios (May 2023); a $147,604 total small business set-aside from the Department of the Interior Alaska Region for BKR5000 2025 accessories (March 2025); and multiple sub-$50,000 total small business set-asides from Fish and Wildlife Service regional offices for portable radios supporting fire operations at national wildlife refuges. The company also performs radio repair and maintenance work — a $20,060 small business set-aside from the Interior Alaska Region for KNG and BKR radio repairs (August 2022) exemplifies this secondary capability stream.

Customer concentration is low and scattered. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Alaska Region leads by combined potential value (three awards, $177 thousand), followed by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (two awards, $114 thousand) and the Navy (one award, $87 thousand). By award count, the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 places four small awards totaling $27 thousand. The top five customers by potential value account for 41% of combined potential value; the top five by award count account for 33% of awards. This dispersion reflects BK Technologies' reliance on small, scattered purchase orders rather than large vehicles or dominant customer relationships. BK Technologies maintains positions on three small BPAs (two task orders under BPA 5431873328, one under BPA 43846232444) and one IDC (SPE8E324D0002, one task order), none of which anchors significant pipeline.

Activity has been intermittent and low-volume. The company recorded six awards in 2022, one in 2023, nine in 2024, seven in 2025, and one in 2026. Combined potential value across all 43 awards (42 prime, one sub) is $1.2 million, with combined obligated dollars at $1.4 million — a ratio indicating most awards have been fully obligated rather than leaving option or renewal value on the table. The single subcontract award (September 2024, ASRC Federal Facilities Logistics LLC) was for KNG M150R VHF radios under task-order work; this represents minimal sub footprint. BK Technologies competes almost entirely under total small business set-asides, with a minority of awards (including the Army Medical Command $197,398 and several Treasury and Interior awards) conducted full-and-open. The company does not appear on any government-wide acquisition contracts or large-scale IDIQs; its vehicle presence is limited to agency-specific or regional BPAs and IDCs.
