Boca Systems, Inc.

Boca Systems, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, manufactures thermal flight printers, flight strips, and specialized air traffic control input/output equipment for the Federal Aviation Administration as a prime contractor on 99% of its recent awards (137 of 138). The company operates under no SBA set-aside designation on most prime delivery orders, though it holds two single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the FAA, one designated Total Small Business set-aside ($6.7 million ceiling through June 2027) and one open competition ($7.7 million ceiling through August 2027). Boca Systems has been registered in SAM.gov since 2004 and performs all work at its Highland Beach, Florida facility.

Customer concentration is extreme and monolithic. The FAA Headquarters accounts for 89 awards and $45.5 million combined potential value (86% of all awards and 85% of all dollars), with the FAA Aeronautical Center contributing 18 awards and $3.5 million, and FAA Franchise Acquisition Services adding 9 awards and $1.5 million. All other customer agencies represent less than 1% of the footprint; a single $44 thousand award from the National Archives and Records Administration and one sub-award under Leidos from an unspecified customer comprise the non-FAA footprint. The two customer rankings track identically — FAA Headquarters dominates both volume and dollars with virtually no tension between them.

Boca Systems' capability portfolio centers entirely on air traffic control and flight data technologies. Work centers on manufacturing thermal flight strips and enroute strips to FAA Specification FAAD-F-1369-3, thermal flight printers (the company's proprietary "Thermal Lemur" product line), and related input/output equipment. Recent representative prime awards include a $6.7 million single-award IDC for terminal flight strips (Total Small Business set-aside, awarded June 13, 2024, through June 2027), a $7.7 million single-award IDC for thermal flight strips in open competition (awarded June 1, 2023, through August 2027), a $546,560 delivery order for NAS assets (September 2025), a $441,498 delivery order for 250 flight data input/output printers (July 2021), and numerous smaller firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders ranging from $10 thousand to $273 thousand issued against the two parent IDCs. All work is firm fixed-price. Boca Systems subcontracts minimally; the source identifies a single sub-award under Leidos (dated August 8, 2024, for ERAM support modifications, award value not specified).

Recent activity shows mixed trajectory. Awards per year peaked at 20 in 2024, declined to 11 in 2025, and have fallen to 4 in the first half of 2026 (a partial-year figure). Combined potential value across the entire 138-award footprint is $53.6 million, of which $23.4 million (44%) has been obligated. Only 2 awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $337 thousand — minimal recompete exposure relative to the total portfolio. The company's parent vehicle activity clusters around five FAA-issued indefinite delivery contracts: IDC 6973GH20D00034 (23 task orders, $3.8 million), DTFAAC13D00051 (13 task orders, $1.9 million), IDC 6973GH18D00111 (13 task orders, $738 thousand), IDC 6973GH24D00069 (10 task orders, $2.8 million), and IDC 6973GH23D00043 (8 task orders, $1 million). The concentration of all significant revenue into two narrow parent contracts — the $6.7 million and $7.7 million thermal flight strip IDCs — creates substantial customer and vehicle concentration risk. The source data spans 1997 to June 2026, capturing nearly three decades of FAA supplier relationships, indicating sustained incumbency in a highly specialized niche where Boca Systems functions as the FAA's sole or near-sole source for proprietary thermal printer and flight strip technologies.
