Corelis, Inc.

Corelis, Inc., a minority-owned small business manufacturer of JTAG and boundary scan diagnostic hardware and software, competes as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) on full-and-open Air Force and Navy test and diagnostic equipment procurements, with no set-aside posture across its prime footprint. Corelis is a subsidiary of Electronic Warfare Associates, Inc. and operates from Cerritos, California, with primary classification under NAICS 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals) and PSC 6695 (Electrical And Electronic Properties Measuring And Testing Instruments).

Corelis's capability portfolio centers on Versatile Diagnostic Automated Test Station (VDATS) parts and kits, JTAG/boundary scan hardware and software suites (including the proprietary ScanExpress and MT/ScanExpress systems), embedded test tools, bus analysis tools, and protocol analyzers for aircraft and systems maintenance operations. Recent representative prime work includes a $6.9 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Air Force Materiel Command's Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex awarded in December 2020 and running through November 2025, under which Corelis has issued multiple delivery orders for VDATS parts — including a $479.8 thousand order in January 2024, a $655.6 thousand order in June 2022, and a $319.9 thousand order in August 2024. Corelis also holds a newly awarded $5.3 million single-award IDC with Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex effective November 1, 2025, through October 31, 2030, supporting VDATS builds for the 569th Equipment Maintenance Group and 402nd Software Engineering Group. Navy work includes a $92.3 thousand sole-source purchase order from Naval Strategic Systems Programs for MT/ScanExpress software (awarded November 2024, running through November 2027) and a $349.3 thousand purchase order from Naval Air Warfare Center for three JTAG hardware/software suites (awarded March 2026).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to Air Force maintenance logistics. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command's Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex accounts for 71% of awards by count and anchors 87% of combined potential value across all 62 awards ($14.9 million of $17.1 million). The Department of the Navy Strategic Systems Programs represents the second-largest customer by award count (13 awards, $529 thousand combined potential value), followed by Naval Air Systems Command's Naval Air Warfare Center (7 awards, $395 thousand). Across twelve distinct federal agencies, Corelis maintains a narrowly focused customer footprint centered on Air Force and Navy diagnostic test equipment procurement. Awards-per-year activity remained flat across the past five years (2022–2026: 2, 3, 4, 3, 1 awards), with only $92 thousand in combined potential value reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating low near-term recompete exposure but also minimal recent pipeline momentum.

In its subcontractor role, Corelis delivers ScanExpress software systems and licenses to Lockheed Martin on defense aircraft program work (two sub awards dated August 2023 and September 2024). The company's parent, Electronic Warfare Associates, Inc., is a for-profit organization based in Herndon, Virginia. Corelis competes predominantly on firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders rather than on competitive vehicles; all recent awards carry no set-aside designation, with the exception of one small Navy award flagged as Total Small Business.

Corelis offers bus analysis, embedded test solutions, and the industry's broadest line of JTAG/boundary-scan software and hardware products that combine exceptional ease-of-use with advanced technical innovation and unmatched customer service. Soon after its inception in 1991, Corelis' innovation in bus analysis and JTAG/boundary-scan test solutions ultimately resulted in the company's acceptance as a major and preferred vendor of test solutions worldwide.
