Conference Technologies, Inc.

Conference Technologies, Inc., doing business as Conference Technologies, is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Maryland Heights, Missouri, that manufactures and installs audiovisual, communications, and IT equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor on 98% of its awards, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule.

Conference Technologies operates across a sprawling federal customer base of 217 agencies with a 722-award portfolio spanning two decades of continuous work, though recent activity has slowed. The top five customer agencies by award volume account for only 19% of total awards — Naval Sea Systems Command (34 awards, $1.6 million potential value), the Air Force (33 awards, $1.5 million), the Marine Corps (27 awards, $3.9 million), Naval Education and Training Command (23 awards, $564 thousand), and Air National Guard (23 awards, $894 thousand) — indicating highly distributed demand. By dollar value, the Marine Corps leads at $3.9 million across 27 awards, GSA Federal Acquisition Service at $2 million across 10 awards, and Naval Sea Systems Command at $1.6 million, covering 24% of combined potential value. The company's award footprint carries no set-aside designations; it competes on price and capability in full-and-open solicitations.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on audiovisual and communications equipment manufacturing, integration, and installation across federal facilities. Concrete work includes a $344.7 million video-wall reconfiguration at an FBI facility in New York (May 2024, full-and-open firm fixed-price purchase order), a $324.4 million audiovisual equipment upgrade for the Army National Guard's Warrior Operations Center in Anniston, Alabama (August 2024, GSA MAS delivery order), a $282.5 million delivery of audiovisual products for a civilian regional office building (September 2021, GSA MAS, small-business set-aside), a $214 million purchase order from the Air Force for IT equipment supporting U.S. Space Command's SAM 2.0 program (June 2022, small-business set-aside), and a $178 million audiovisual equipment procurement and installation for the VA Memphis Medical Center theater and three conference rooms (June 2023, no set-aside). The company also delivers high-volume, low-unit-cost orders — video walls, conference-room upgrades, digital signage, wireless audio systems, projectors, monitors, and cabling — frequently in the thousands to low tens of thousands of dollars per order. Representative recent small-value work includes a $12.7 thousand purchase order from NOAA for audiovisual supplies and installation at the Radar Operations Center in Norman, Oklahoma (July 2026), a $226.4 thousand GSA MAS delivery order from OSHA for audiovisual and public-address system maintenance through 2030 (September 2025), and a $266.4 thousand Army purchase order for a Crestron NVX audio/video switching and distribution system upgrade at the Georgia Army National Guard's Joint Operations Center (September 2025).

Conference Technologies' primary contracting vehicle is the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, which carries 459 task orders worth $20.9 million in combined potential value — the dominant platform for the vendor's federal work. The company also holds a Blanket Purchase Agreement (W91CRB17A5001) with 14 task orders valued at $146 thousand and carries positions on Alliant II and Trainer Developer II. GSA Schedule labor rates span 37 categories from $104.50 to $201.57 per hour, anchored at the lower end by installation ($104.50/hr), build/mock-up ($120.36/hr), and drafting ($139.93/hr) roles with high school equivalent education requirements, and at the higher end by tiered commissioning-in-house labor at $172.22 to $201.57/hr. No labor categories require security clearances.

Recent activity has contracted sharply. Awards per year ran at 16 in 2022, peaked at 22 in 2023, fell to 18 in 2024, dropped to 12 in 2025, and stand at only 2 in 2026 year-to-date. Only three awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $170 thousand, suggesting minimal recompete exposure in the near term. Service Contract Inventory data, which captures federal service contracts above $150,000 and excludes goods and products, shows only one SCI record across FY2024, delivered as a subcontractor, with 1.0 FTE — a narrow slice that reflects the vendor's goods-and-product-driven business model and does not represent total federal services revenue.

The vendor operates predominantly as a prime contractor (709 of 722 awards) and rarely subcontracts. Recent sub-award activity includes audiovisual and command-control design-build services and maintenance to Booz Allen Hamilton on the EMAPS 2 contract (September 2025), audiovisual engineering support to Korte Construction on a student barracks repair contract (June 2025), and audiovisual systems work to J.f. Taylor on a training-systems support program (September 2024). Sub-award volume is immaterial to the company's federal footprint — 13 awards, 2% of the total. Conference Technologies does not report sub-engagement on its SCI records, consistent with its role as a product and installation vendor rather than a services prime carrying large subcontractor teams.

The vendor was registered in SAM.gov in October 2000 and maintains continuous federal contracting activity. It qualifies as a small business by annual revenue thresholds for audiovisual equipment and communications equipment manufacturing NAICS codes (471 awards under Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing, 109 under Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing). The concentration of work across low-dollar equipment orders — video equipment, audio systems, cables, mounts, furniture, and digital signage — reflects a fulfillment-and-installation business model rather than system-design or managed-services delivery.
