About Communications Engineering Company
Communications Engineering Company, a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation headquartered in Hiawatha, Iowa, operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering physical security systems installation, maintenance, and software support services to federal agencies. The vendor holds no subcontracting relationships and competes full-and-open without set-aside designations across its primary work; one recent nurse-call system award carries a Total Small Business set-aside, but this is uncommon.
The vendor's capability portfolio centers on security infrastructure — access control systems, nurse-call systems, camera systems, and proprietary software maintenance for platforms including Lenel and Rauland Responder. Communications Engineering Company holds OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) certification for these systems and maintains field service technicians in Eastern Iowa. Representative recent work includes a $1.7 million Total Small Business nurse-call system installation and deployment for the Iowa City VA Health Care System (awarded June 2026, completion June 2027); a $387.8 thousand single-award IDIQ for physical security systems maintenance services at the Department of Agriculture's National Center for Animal Health facility in Ames, Iowa (awarded June 2023, running through May 2027 with an exercised option); and a $128.4 thousand firm-fixed-price maintenance contract for Lenel Security System support at the Iowa City VA Health Care System (awarded April 2025, completion March 2030). The vendor also holds an OEM-based sole-source award for Rauland Responder support services at the VA's Central Iowa Healthcare System valued at $97.8 thousand (awarded April 2023, completion December 2027).
Customer concentration is tight. The top two agencies account for over half of all awards: the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 (25 awards, $3.3 million combined potential value) and the Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Veterinary Services (21 awards, $1.4 million). These two customers drive 88% of combined potential value across all 191 awards. The vendor has served 19 distinct federal agencies over its tenure but maintains minimal operational depth beyond the VA and USDA footprint.
The vendor holds two active APHIS Indefinite Delivery Contracts, placing 11 and 6 task orders respectively with combined potential value of $373 thousand. Activity has remained flat in recent years — one award in 2026, two each in 2024 and 2025, two in 2023 — with a combined potential value of $6.6 million across all 191 awards and obligated dollars of $4.7 million (71% of ceiling value). Two awards carrying $1.8 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. The vendor's work is classified primarily under NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services) and PSC code for maintenance/repair of alarm and security detection systems, with minimal diversification into other technical service categories.
