Echodyne Corp

Echodyne Corp, a Kirkland, Washington-based manufacturer of metamaterial-based radar systems, operates primarily as a prime contractor (66% of recent awards) and subcontractor on defense and homeland security programs, competing full-and-open without set-aside designations. The company designs and delivers compact, solid-state electronically scanned array (MESA) radars engineered for counter-unmanned aerial systems, border security, and surveillance applications, with $81 million in combined potential value across 41 awards and $68.8 million in obligated dollars (85% of potential value).

Echodyne's customer concentration reflects heavy international narcotics enforcement and border security focus. The Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement dominates potential value with two awards worth $50.3 million combined — a $35.3 million definitive contract awarded July 2025 for counter-drone radars, technical support, and training (completion July 2026), and a $14.99 million definitive contract awarded March 2026 for Kyiv radar systems, spare parts, and training (completion March 2027), with performance in Ukraine. The Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection holds four awards totaling $24 million in potential value, anchored by a $20 million single-award indefinite delivery contract running through August 2026 that has generated three delivery orders worth $4.03 million to date for high-performance border surveillance radar systems. The Department of Defense (one award, $3.5 million), US Special Operations Command (one OTA award, $1.3 million for EchoShield radar rapid deployment kits), and DHS Science and Technology Directorate (six awards, $1.2 million) complete the top-five customer set.

Echodyne holds a $20 million IDC with DHS Customs and Border Protection (August 2026 completion) as its primary vehicle position; delivery orders against this contract span August 2021 through August 2026. Other named parent vehicles include indefinite delivery contracts FA875021D1100 and 70B02C21D00000028 (three task orders, $4 million combined potential value). The company carries $52.6 million in combined potential value across four awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months — significant recompete exposure centered on the two Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement counter-drone contracts maturing in 2026 and 2027. In its subcontractor role, Echodyne delivers radar platforms and accessories to Booz Allen Hamilton (counter-unmanned aerial systems command-and-control integration), General Dynamics Information Technology (global security engineering and supply chain services), Bluehalo (EchoShield radar and tripod kits), Mantech Advanced Systems International (ALECS task order radar software and accessories), and KBR Wyle Services (counter-UAS systems), among others. Recent prime work includes a $3.45 million purchase order from Department of Defense for EchoShield radars and professional services (March 2026) and a $1.28 million SOCOM OTA for rapid deployment radar kits (January 2026). Activity has accelerated — four awards annually in 2021 and 2022 to eight in 2025 and seven in 2026 year-to-date — with 15 awards classified under NAICS search, detection, navigation, and guidance systems manufacturing and heavy concentration in radar equipment procurement (PSC codes for radar and airborne radar systems).
