Ceia USA LTD

Ceia USA LTD, a Hudson, Ohio-based for-profit limited liability company, manufactures and delivers walk-through metal detectors, magnetometers, multi-zone detection systems, and related security screening equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor, with recent award volume of 28 to 68 contracts per fiscal year across 215 distinct customer agencies and a combined potential value footprint of $498 million.

The company operates predominantly on full-and-open competition across the federal government. While the source identifies one Total Small Business set-aside designation in recent activity (a June 2023 DHS BPA call for $26,490 and another in September 2025 for $8,830), Ceia USA LTD competes primarily unrestricted and holds no SBA 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB certifications; the company is not minority-owned or women-owned per the source. Ceia USA LTD operates as a prime contractor exclusively—100% of awards in the source are prime, with six subcontract deliveries from PAE Government Services, M.C. Dean, Leidos, General Dynamics Information Technology, and ASRC Federal Facilities Logistics representing negligible sub-engagement.

Capability footprint centers on security screening hardware—specifically walk-through and hand-held metal detectors, multi-zone detection systems, magnetometers, portable detection equipment, and bottle liquid scanners—along with associated installation, maintenance, calibration, training, and preventative inspection services. Representative prime work includes a $13 million Transportation Security Administration IDIQ (Security Technology Integrated Program support for enhanced metal detectors and body language screening systems, awarded September 2023, ultimate completion September 2030); a $23 million U.S. Secret Service single-award IDIQ for magnetometers and accessories (May 2023 through May 2028); a $3.975 million Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons indefinite delivery contract for metal detector maintenance and services (October 2022 through October 2026); a $5.395 million DHS Office of Procurement Operations blanket purchase agreement for walk-through metal detectors (February 2022 through February 2027); and a $4.595 million TSA definitive contract for bottle liquid scanners to support airport expansion (September 2022 through September 2028). A $455,456 United States Mint metal detector project definitive contract and a $158,260 DHS portable detection systems buy for Federal Protective Service demonstrate capability across specialized end-uses.

Customer concentration is diffuse across agencies but anchored by transportation and border security. The Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration leads by potential value at $105.4 million across 27 awards; the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command carries $96.9 million across 25 awards; the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command represents $34.2 million across 13 awards; and the DHS U.S. Secret Service holds $33.2 million across 35 awards. The top five customer agencies by potential value account for 60% of combined potential value. By award count, the DHS Office of Procurement Operations dominates with 319 awards ($17.3 million combined potential value), followed by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (48 awards, $15.4 million) and the DHS National Protection and Programs Directorate (37 awards, $883 thousand). The top five customer agencies by award count represent 33% of all recent awards. The divergence between volume and value rankings reflects Ceia USA LTD's seat on multiple DHS blanket purchase agreements that field numerous small-dollar individual calls (many $8,830 line items for single walk-through metal detector units at regional DHS facilities) alongside larger-value IDIQ task orders with TSA and Army RDC.

Vehicle position is dominated by GSA Schedule incumbency and agency-specific BPAs. Ceia USA LTD places 753 task orders on the Federal Supply Schedule (GSA07F0007H), generating $43.3 million in combined potential value—the single largest vehicle. An additional 115 task orders flow through the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), worth $7 million. Three DHS-held blanket purchase agreements account for 296 task orders: the Walk Through Metal Detectors BPA (70RFP322AEH000004) carries 101 task orders worth $2.2 million; the "HSCESS09A00008" BPA accounts for 105 task orders at $3.4 million; and the "HSHQEH16A00003" BPA yields 90 task orders at $1.2 million. Named IDIQs outside the BPA structure include the TSA $13 million STIP contract, the Secret Service $23 million magnetometer IDIQ, the Bureau of Prisons $3.975 million maintenance IDIQ, and the SEC $250,000 BPA for magnetometers and maintenance on the GSA MAS. Ceia USA LTD also holds contracts with the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, the U.S. Marshals Service Judicial Security Division, and the Department of Veterans Affairs, among others.

Activity trajectory shows a 2023 peak of 68 awards, followed by contraction to 54 in 2024, 37 in 2025, and 28 year-to-date in 2026. Awards obligated total $233.2 million against $498 million in combined potential value, indicating 47% funding realization across the portfolio. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is moderate: 67 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $11 million. The largest near-term recompetes are implied by BPA call expiration dates (particularly the DHS walk-through metal detector BPA set to conclude February 2027) and maintenance IDIQ option year cycles.

Service Contract Inventory data is minimal and non-indicative: SCI records show zero invoiced revenue for Ceia USA LTD as a prime across FY2022–FY2025, with estimated FTE delivery of 0.1 to 0.3 FTEs per fiscal year across 5 prime SCI records. The SCI dataset captures only service contracts above $150,000 and excludes product sales and goods; Ceia USA LTD's revenue model is predominantly equipment sales and delivery orders for manufactured metal detectors and detection systems, which fall outside SCI scope. SCI FTE estimates are not representative of the company's actual workforce or total federal revenue footprint. No subcontractor FTE share is recorded across the prime SCI records examined.

Subcontract footprint is negligible. Six sub-award records appear in the source, all recent (2024–2025): PAE Government Services has engaged Ceia USA LTD for on-site repair services and parts in Montenegro (November 2025) and South Asia TSA support (July 2025); M.C. Dean procured magnetometer integrated security services in June 2025; Leidos ordered checkpoint maintenance under a longer-term SOW (March 2025); ASRC Federal Facilities Logistics subcontracted walk-through metal detector services in December 2024; and General Dynamics Information Technology engaged Ceia USA LTD for global security engineering and supply chain services (July 2024). These six sub-awards total negligible dollars and indicate Ceia USA LTD functions as a niche supplier to larger systems integrators on specialized security and logistics programs, not as a feeder subcontractor across multiple primes.

Ceia USA LTD manufactures security screening and metal detection equipment at its Hudson, Ohio headquarters and delivers domestically and internationally. The company's positioning is as a specialized OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and direct supplier to federal customers rather than as a service integrator or technology consultant. All recent task orders are firm fixed price, reflecting commodity-like procurement of manufactured detection systems and maintenance services. With $498 million in combined potential value across 1,452 awards over roughly three decades of federal contracting, Ceia USA LTD is an established vendor with deep penetration into DHS, TSA, Secret Service, Army, Navy, and bureau-level civilian agency procurement streams.
