Copper Mountain Technologies LLC

Copper Mountain Technologies LLC, an Indianapolis-based manufacturer of RF test and measurement equipment, sells specialized vector network analyzers and calibration modules to federal agencies primarily as a small-business prime contractor (88% of recent awards), with selective subcontract work on defense research programs. The vendor operates as a for-profit limited liability company competing predominantly under Total Small Business and non-set-aside firm fixed-price purchase orders, with over a decade of federal contracting history dating to 2013.

Copper Mountain's capability portfolio centers on vector network analyzers across frequency ranges from 100 kHz to 110 GHz, automated calibration modules, USB-based measurement systems, and frequency extender head drivers for RF characterization and testing. Representative prime work includes a $68,885 purchase order from NASA's Shared Services Center (September 2026) for two Select Series VNAs with automatic calibration modules and calibration certificates; an $83,140 order from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (June 2026) for three VNA extender head drivers compatible with WR6, WR5, and WR3 models; and a $100,430 Total Small Business purchase order from Air Force Materiel Command (March 2026) for a 16-port VNA with 4-port automated calibration module delivered to Wright Patterson Air Force Base. The vendor also supplied a $65,190 educational VNA to the U.S. Air Force Academy's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (September 2025) and a $73,525 USB vector network analyzer to NOAA's Command and Data Acquisition Station at Wallops, Virginia (August 2024).

Customer concentration skews toward civilian research and measurement agencies. The top five customers by award count and potential value account for 58% and 77% of awards respectively, with NIST and NASA Shared Services Center anchoring both rankings — NIST with three awards worth $239 thousand combined and NASA SSC with six awards worth $214 thousand. The Air Force Academy, Smithsonian Institution, NOAA, and NASA's Glenn and Langley Research Centers round out the active customer base across fifteen distinct agencies. Activity has accelerated modestly, from one award in 2022 to five in 2024, with only one award (combined potential value $69 thousand) facing completion within the next twenty-four months. On the subcontract side, Copper Mountain supplies RF test equipment to Verus Research (RF Seeker program, January 2025), Booz Allen Hamilton (Air Force Research Laboratory microelectronics assurance research, August 2024), and L3Harris Technologies Integrated Systems (Big Safari program, February 2024). The vendor's federal footprint reflects specialization in niche measurement instrumentation rather than broad systems integration, with awards clustered around instrument manufacturing NAICS 334515.

We specialize in metrology-grade, compact USB Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) at cost-effective prices. The software is compatible with both Windows and Linux OS. These VNAs have completely volatile memory and are ideal for secured environments. Application specific VNAs serve the IoT, Smart Devices, Connected Transportation, Wireless Telecommunication and Mobile, 5G, and other RF and Antenna applications. Our mmWave CobaltFx Frequency Extension Systems offer fast sampling with excellent dynamic range in 2-port and 4-port configurations for frequencies up to 110 GHz in coaxial 18-54 GHz and waveguide WR10, WR12, and WR15 bands. Our frequency extension compatible VNAs can drive third-party frequency extenders up to 325 GHz and are the industry's most affordable base VNAs for mmWave frequencies. CMT offers simple purchasing with a single part number that doesn't require configurations or options. For further information, please visit www.coppermountaintech.com.
