Concurrent Real-Time, Inc.

Concurrent Real-Time, Inc., a foreign-owned for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Pompano Beach, Florida, provides high-performance real-time computing hardware and specialized software to federal defense and aerospace agencies as a prime contractor (65% of recent awards) and subcontractor on major weapons systems and mission-critical programs. The company competes predominantly full-and-open (no set-aside designations across the recent footprint) and derives its competitive position from proprietary products: iHawk rackmount computing systems, RedHawk Linux real-time operating system, NightStar Tools software, and associated maintenance and integration services designed for hardware-in-the-loop simulation, weapons analysis, integrated avionics testing, and real-time signal processing in environments requiring precise timing and deterministic performance.

Concurrent Real-Time's customer concentration centers on the Department of the Navy and NASA. The top five agencies account for 62% of awards by count and 94% of combined potential value by dollar magnitude. Navy Naval Sea Systems Command leads by volume (71 awards, $6.6 million combined potential value) and dominates across purchase orders for iHawk systems, rackmount hardware maintenance, circuit card assemblies, and RedHawk software licenses. NASA Marshall Space Flight Center anchors the dollar ranking (15 awards, $19.8 million combined potential value), driven by two large definitive contracts: a $3.24 million annual IT maintenance and warranty renewal for 635 concurrent computing units (May 2025 award through January 2027) and a $3.33 million IT annual maintenance and warranty renewal (March 2023 award). Navy Naval Air Warfare Center contributes 30 awards ($1 million combined potential value) for RedHawk software maintenance and related development add-ons. Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (12 awards, $585 thousand combined potential value) procures circuit card assemblies. This concentration reflects Concurrent Real-Time's role as an original equipment manufacturer serving integrated avionics and weapons testing infrastructure across Navy platforms, missile systems, and space operations.

Activity has grown substantially: from four awards in 2022 to 52 in 2024, with 40 awards in 2025, before declining to two in 2026 (likely due to partial-year data). Four awards (combined potential value $3.4 million) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The combined potential value across all 253 awards totals $30.6 million, yet obligated dollars ($43.5 million) exceed potential value, a signal of exercised options and modifications on existing contracts. NAICS concentration emphasizes Electronic Computer Manufacturing (78 awards), Software Publishers (38 awards), and Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (30 awards). Purchase order vehicles dominate the contract portfolio; named parent vehicles include the Information Analysis Center Multiple-Award Contract (7 task orders), the One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services Small Business vehicle (4 task orders), and NASA's 80MSFC20D0004 IDIQ (2 task orders).

Concurrent Real-Time's subcontract footprint spans Lockheed Martin Corporation (most frequent prime, with dozens of recent sub awards for iHawk rackmount systems, RedHawk licensing, maintenance renewals, and system integration across Trident, JASSM, PAC-3, and other missile and combat system programs), Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent engineering and manufacturing development, boost vehicle repair and upgrade), Raytheon Company (Sentinel Radar life cycle contractor support and advanced technology support for Ku-band radar), and The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (Tomahawk, Dragonfly, and multi-research and analysis support). Boeing, The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Vector Planning & Services, Torch Technologies, and HII Mission Technologies round out the teaming base. Recent prime awards include a $77.7 thousand Air Force sole-source purchase order for an iHawk Rackmount System (September 2025, Air Force Research Laboratory Munitions Division at Eglin); a $43.5 thousand Army Research, Development and Engineering Command order for iHawk system maintenance (July 2025); a $3.24 million NASA Marshall Space Flight Center definitive contract for concurrent computing unit maintenance (May 2025); and multiple $20 thousand to $200 thousand purchase orders from Navy, NASA Shared Services, and civilian agencies for software maintenance renewals, hardware licenses, and training delivery. The company's track record of sole-source awards reflects its position as the sole qualified provider of proprietary iHawk and RedHawk technologies to the federal government, with contracts typically designated as sole-source procurements under FAR 13.106-1(b) authority.
