Canal Alarm Devices, Inc.

Canal Alarm Devices, Inc., doing business as Surveillance-Video.com and operating through its Surveillance-Video.com and 123Securityproducts.com divisions, supplies closed-circuit television cameras, video recording equipment, surveillance systems, and related security infrastructure components to federal agencies as a prime contractor, with recent award activity concentrated in Defense Logistics Agency purchase orders and small business set-asides. Based in New York, New York, the company is a small business that has held federal contractor registration since 2001 and competes across both unrestricted and set-aside categories, though set-asides (particularly total small business designations) recur frequently across purchase orders from defense and civilian agencies.

Customer concentration sits heavily with the Defense Logistics Agency across three functional commands. Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment leads by volume and dollars (64 awards, $441 thousand combined potential value), followed by Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (49 awards, $369 thousand combined potential value) and Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (33 awards, $63 thousand combined potential value). These three DLA commands account for 53% of recent awards. Beyond DLA, the Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division (18 awards, $368 thousand combined potential value) and the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security (17 awards, $238 thousand combined potential value) round out the top five customers. The top five customers together account for 42% of combined potential value. The vendor has served 94 distinct customer agencies across the federal government, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Naval Sea Systems Command, the U.S. Air Force, the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and NASA.

Award activity centers on small purchase orders for specific equipment items. Representative recent prime work includes a $104.3 thousand total small business purchase order from NOAA for a Pelco closed-circuit television system installation on the NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson (July 2022); a $170.9 thousand total small business purchase order from Naval Air Warfare Center for Pelco brand cameras, video encoders and decoders, and related surveillance equipment (February 2022); a $39.5 thousand total small business purchase order from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for Pelco Spectra Analog cameras and associated equipment (August 2024); and a $39.5 thousand total small business purchase order from the Department of the Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command for Bosch Autodome IP Starlight cameras and workstations (October 2023). A significant portion of the vendor's portfolio consists of lower-dollar purchase orders in the low thousands, including television cameras, lenses, power supplies, pan-and-tilt assemblies, and video recording components, predominantly to DLA Aviation and DLA Construction and Equipment.

The vendor holds an Indefinite Delivery Contract with Defense Logistics Agency Aviation valued up to $250 thousand for television cameras and related security products, under which multiple purchase orders have been issued. Two other IDCs (47QFCA22D0401 and SPE4A620D5273) carry two task orders each. The primary vehicle posture is purchase-order-against-IDC rather than standalone task-order competition against large government-wide acquisition contracts.

Award activity has remained relatively flat, with 13 to 17 awards annually across the past five years (2022 through 2025), and 4 awards recorded to date in 2026. Combined potential value across all 344 awards (prime and sub) is $3.9 million, though combined dollars obligated across all awards totals $6.7 million, indicating that invoiced deliveries have exceeded recorded contract ceilings. The award count spans 23 years, with the earliest award dated September 2003.

NAICS concentration reflects the vendor's equipment supply footprint: Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing (52 awards), Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (46 awards), and Electrical Apparatus and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers (40 awards) dominate. PSC category concentration centers on Video Recording and Reproducing Equipment (77 awards), Communications Security Equipment and Components (37 awards), and Radio and Television Communication Equipment (36 awards).

The vendor operates almost exclusively as a prime contractor (99% of awards); subcontract activity is minimal. Two sub-awards dated April 2026 appear under HII Mission Technologies Corp for logistics intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance equipment and research and development services. The sub-award footprint does not materially shape the vendor's profile or competitive positioning.
