Electro Rent Corporation

Electro Rent Corporation, doing business as Rush Computer Rentals, operates as a prime contractor (72% of recent awards) and subcontractor supplying test and measurement equipment, electronic instrumentation, and computer hardware rental to federal agencies on full-and-open purchase orders. The company is a for-profit corporate entity headquartered in Canoga Park, California with no SBA set-aside certifications; its recent award footprint spans 353 total awards from 80 distinct customer agencies, with combined potential value of $15.1 million and $11.6 million obligated across all federal sources.

The vendor's concrete capability portfolio centers on rental and procurement of commercial test and measurement equipment—spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, signal generators, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and data acquisition systems from manufacturers including Keysight, Rohde & Schwarz, and Teledyne. Representative prime awards include a $43,478 National Institute of Standards and Technology purchase order for an electrical analyzer and current-stress system for CHIPS R&D electrical performance monitoring (completion February 8, 2027), a $51,875 Office of Naval Research purchase order for a vector network analyzer with accessories (December 9, 2025), a $37,807 Naval Sea Systems Command purchase order for a signal generator for land-based test site electronic equipment testing (completion March 19, 2026), and a $117,627 Federal Aviation Administration purchase order for four Field Fox analyzers (May 3, 2023). A $12,069 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration purchase order for a Keysight signal generator supporting Weather System Processor assets (August 28, 2026) and a $15,842 NIST purchase order for a data acquisition system supporting semiconductor packaging aging experiments (May 6, 2026) exemplify ongoing CHIPS and research instrumentation work. Computer rental work appears in a $21,870 National Science Foundation Division of Graduate Education purchase order for computer equipment rental supporting Graduate Research Fellowship Program facilitators (November 5, 2021).

Customer concentration is fragmented across 80 agencies. The top five customers by award count—Naval Sea Systems Command (32 awards, $395 thousand), NSF Division of Information Systems (21 awards, $5.1 million), NSF (18 awards, $153 thousand), Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Enterprise Information Systems (18 awards), and NSF Division of Undergraduate Education (17 awards, $230 thousand)—account for 30% of all awards. By potential value, NSF Division of Information Systems leads significantly at $5.1 million across 21 awards (43% coverage threshold), followed by Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center ($397 thousand, 5 awards), Naval Sea Systems Command ($395 thousand, 32 awards), Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command ($392 thousand, 8 awards), and Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research ($268 thousand, 10 awards). The divergence signals that NSF's information systems purchases carry substantially higher unit values than Navy sea systems procurement, which has broad volume with lower transaction size.

Vehicle positioning shows Electro Rent holds a seat on a National Science Foundation Blanket Purchase Agreement (NSFDACS08B1135) with 102 task orders valued at $972 thousand combined, the Federal Supply Schedule GS35F0206S with 12 task orders ($570 thousand), and a Navy Basic Ordering Agreement N0038322GS501 with 3 task orders. The vendor also appears on an Information Analysis Center Multiple-Award Contract (3 task orders) and an Indefinite Delivery Contract 80MSFC20D0004 (2 task orders). Most awards are transacted as purchase orders under full-and-open competition with no set-asides, indicating the vendor competes on commercial terms and brand-name availability rather than small business or minority-owned designations.

Activity has accelerated sharply—from 6 awards in 2022 to 40 in 2025, with 9 awards year-to-date through September 2026—reflecting sustained demand for test equipment across civilian research and military programs. Recompete cliff exposure is minimal: only one award (combined potential value $43 thousand) completes within the next twenty-four months. The vendor's award history extends back to 1983, but recent awards concentrate in 2024–2026, driven by NSF computer rental and Navy test equipment procurement.

In its subcontractor role, Electro Rent supplies test equipment rental, power supplies, and instrumentation to major defense primes. Named subs include Raytheon Company (test equipment rental and leasing for radar systems, AMRAAM testing, Patriot systems, and AIM-9X production), L3Harris Technologies (spectrum analysis and network analyzer rentals for satellite communications sustainment, counter-communications systems, and GPS receiver programs), Lockheed Martin Corporation (oscilloscope and power supply rentals for Next Generation Infrared and advanced aerospace programs), Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (combat rescue helicopter avionics testing equipment rentals), Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (control panel instrumentation and laboratory equipment), and BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration (Big Safari signal generators and noise sources). Boeing, Booz Allen Hamilton, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Peraton, and Dynetics round out the sub prime roster. Subcontract work typically involves multi-month rental periods for specialized test equipment supporting development, integration, and production testing on classified and unclassified defense programs.

The corporate structure includes a named subsidiary, Telogy LLC, though the source does not specify its role within the Electro Rent footprint. The vendor's established relationships with major defense primes and its consistent presence on both NSF and Navy purchase vehicles position it as a recurring supplier of commodity and specialized test instrumentation across civilian research and defense development environments.
