Copper Mountain Technologies LLC

Copper Mountain Technologies LLC, an Indianapolis-based for-profit manufacturer of RF test and measurement equipment, supplies vector network analyzers and related calibration modules to federal agencies as a prime contractor (87% of recent awards), competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements with no recurrent set-aside posture. The vendor holds a small-business designation and has delivered across fifteen distinct federal agencies over a twelve-year span, with recent activity concentrated in purchase orders from NIST, NASA, NOAA, and the Air Force.

Copper Mountain's capability portfolio centers on vector network analyzers across multiple frequency ranges and port configurations, calibration modules, and associated RF test equipment. Representative recent work includes a $83,140 prime purchase order from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (June 2026) for VNA extender head drivers compatible with WR6, WR5, and WR3 models spanning 100 kHz to 22 GHz; a $100,430 total small-business purchase order from Air Force Materiel Command (March 2026) for a 16-port analyzer with 4-port automated calibration module operating 300 kHz to 9 GHz; and a $73,525 purchase order from NOAA (August 2024) for a USB vector network analyzer supporting the Command and Data Acquisition Station at Wallops, Virginia. The $65,190 Air Force Academy procurement (September 2025) supplied educational RF measurement equipment with frequency extension to 110 GHz. All awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders with delivery to federal sites or contractor locations, typically completing within six to nine months of award.

Customer concentration sits with civilian research and defense testing agencies. NIST leads by combined potential value (three awards, $239 thousand) and is tracked closely by NASA Shared Services Center by award count (five awards, $145 thousand). The top five funding entities account for 75% of combined potential value across the recent footprint, with Air Force Materiel Command, the Smithsonian Institution, and NOAA rounding out the tier. Activity has climbed to five awards in 2024 and two in 2025–2026 after a 2022–2023 trough. One award ($83 thousand) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represents the recompete exposure in that window.

Copper Mountain holds one task order against the Information Analysis Center Multiple-Award Contract and one against Basic Ordering Agreement FA862021G4027 (Air Force). The vendor's subcontractor footprint is modest, with three sub-awards since 2024: RF system response and analysis equipment supplied to Verus Research on an RF SEEKER program subcontract (January 2025), USB vector network analyzers and test equipment to Booz Allen Hamilton on an Air Force Research Laboratory MASTER subcontract (August 2024), and electronic computer manufacturing support to L3Harris Technologies on a BIG SAFARI subcontract (February 2024). Awards are predominantly categorized under NAICS 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals) and PSC groupings for electrical test instruments and laboratory equipment.

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.
