Duncan-Parnell Inc.

Duncan-Parnell Inc., a for-profit small business headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, supplies geospatial surveying equipment, unmanned aircraft systems, and Trimble GNSS positioning technologies to federal civilian and defense agencies as a prime contractor on 96% of recent awards, with a recurring posture in total small business set-asides across the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey, and Department of Agriculture. The vendor operates as an authorized Trimble reseller and integrates subsidiary AG Technologies, LLC into its operations.

Duncan-Parnell's federal footprint centers on concrete delivery of Trimble R-series GNSS receivers, robotic total stations, scanning systems, RTK (real-time kinematic) rovers, and complementary field hardware, alongside small unmanned aircraft systems including WingtraRay, WingtraOne Gen II, and Inspired Flight IF1200A equivalents. Representative prime awards include a $694,969.95 delivery order from the National Cemetery Administration for CDIS GPS equipment (June 2026, under its single-award IDC), a $716,182.45 delivery order from the Air Force for small unmanned aircraft systems, components, and training under GSA MAS (September 2025), a $518,993.94 option-year delivery order from the National Cemetery Administration for CDIS GPS equipment subscriptions (June 2025), a $241,747.95 delivery order from the Department of Agriculture for four small unmanned aircraft systems to support food safety research (September 2024), and a $304,960.10 purchase order from NOAA for Trimble receivers supporting the National Geodetic Survey (September 2026). The vendor also provides geospatial analysis software maintenance and licensing—including eCognition renewals and hardware maintenance—as well as training and support services for surveying equipment.

Customer concentration clusters heavily in civilian natural-resources and infrastructure agencies. The top five customers by award count represent 28% of all awards: the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (26 awards, $1.5 million), U.S. Geological Survey (20 awards, $589 thousand), Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service Southeast Region (17 awards, $1.5 million), Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration (17 awards, $12.8 million), and United States Marine Corps (16 awards, $165 thousand). By combined potential value, the National Cemetery Administration dominates at $12.8 million across 17 awards—a reoccurring customer anchored by Duncan-Parnell's $5.26 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract (base year plus four option years through May 2029) for CDIS GPS equipment, parts, subscriptions, and related services. The Air Force Special Operations Command places six awards valued at $2.8 million combined, representing the highest defense concentration. The top five customers by dollar value account for 36% of combined potential value across the portfolio.

Duncan-Parnell holds two primary indefinite-delivery vehicles. The $5.26 million National Cemetery Administration IDIC (awarded June 2024, total small business set-aside, base plus four option years through May 2029) authorizes task orders for CDIS GPS equipment and subscriptions supporting cemetery surveying and mapping; multiple delivery orders have been issued, including the June 2026 $694,969.95 order noted above. A $5 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (awarded September 2024, no set-aside, multiple award, ultimate completion December 2026) under GSA MAS procures small unmanned aircraft systems, Trimble R12i GNSS systems, S7 robotic total stations, SX10 scanning total stations, and associated software and maintenance. The vendor places 68 task orders under GSA MAS ($19.9 million combined potential value), representing the largest vehicle footprint by order count. A $500,000 single-award BPA with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Jacksonville District (November 2023 through November 2024) covers Reson equipment repair, calibration, and installation; four calls have been issued through mid-2024.

Activity trajectory shows growth through 2024—from 12 awards in 2022 to a peak of 28 in 2024—followed by a decline to 19 in 2025 and 9 in 2026 (through late September). Seven awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $1.9 million, representing modest recompete exposure. The portfolio has generated total obligated dollars of $26.3 million against combined potential value of $53.6 million (49% obligation rate), indicating a mix of fully funded orders and ceiling-authority vehicles with remaining capacity.

Duncan-Parnell subcontracts under six named primes, representing 4% of the award footprint. Named sub relationships include Leidos (high-resolution three-dimensional geospatial information operations and technology integration, August 2024 and November 2024), AECOM Technical Services (Marine Corps Installation Geospatial Information and Services data management support, May 2022 and August 2025), M.C. Dean (Force Protection Division security electronic systems, February 2025 and May 2026), Science Applications International Corporation (systems engineering and cyber security research for C5ISR Center, March 2025), Atlantic Diving Supply (Trimble R12LT receivers and related equipment, July and August 2024, December 2023), Peraton (NSROC IV sub-orbital payload design and flight qualification including Trimble S9 robotic surveying systems, November 2024), and Netcentric Technology (Cape Launch Operations and Infrastructure Support III, June 2024). Sub work spans geospatial equipment supply and integration supporting defense geospatial modernization and operations.

The vendor's award portfolio concentrates in geospatial instrumentation and positioning technologies: 146 awards map to NAICS 541513 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), representing the largest category concentration. Eighty awards fall under PSC code Drafting, Surveying, and Mapping Instruments, with secondary concentrations in Navigational Instruments (22 awards) and Radio Navigation Equipment (13 awards). This category alignment reflects Duncan-Parnell's core identity as a geospatial equipment distributor and integrator rather than a service provider. Across the prime portfolio, total small business set-asides recur predominantly on Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Interior, and Department of Agriculture procurements, while unrestricted (no set-aside) awards predominate with NOAA, Air Force, and NASA. The vendor competes under both set-aside and full-and-open tracks, with set-asides accounting for the National Cemetery Administration's largest-dollar vehicle and unrestricted competition anchoring the GSA MAS volume play.
