Electro Rent Corporation

Electro Rent Corporation, doing business as Rush Computer Rentals, supplies test and measurement equipment — including signal generators, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, oscilloscopes, and portable field analyzers — to federal agencies and prime defense contractors as both a prime contractor (73% of recent awards) and subcontractor (27%). The company competes predominantly full-and-open with no SBA set-aside designation, though it holds a Total Small Business set-aside designation on recent Navy purchase orders.

Electro Rent is a for-profit corporation headquartered in Canoga Park, California, with a subsidiary Telogy LLC. The vendor's award portfolio spans 346 federal transactions across eighty customer agencies, with combined potential value of $15.1 million and combined obligated dollars of $11.4 million (76% realized). Recent prime work includes a $117,627 purchase order from the FAA for four FieldFox analyzers (May 2023), a $68,090 order from Naval Information Warfare Systems Command for portable spectrum analyzers (September 2022), and a $51,875 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from the Office of Naval Research for a vector network analyzer with accessories in Germany (December 2025). A $15,842 purchase order from the National Institute of Standards and Technology for a CHIPS R&D data acquisition system performing in Malaysia closed in June 2026. The company also supports the National Science Foundation's computer equipment rental needs, including a $21,870 order for computer equipment rental for graduate fellowship program facilitators (November 2021).

Activity has accelerated sharply — from six awards in 2022 to thirty-five in 2024 and thirty-seven in 2025. Customer concentration is fragmented by award count but concentrated by dollar value. The top five funding agencies by award count cover 29% of recent awards, led by Naval Sea Systems Command (twenty-eight awards, $395 thousand), followed by NSF Division of Information Systems (twenty-one awards, $5.1 million). By potential value, NSF Division of Information Systems dominates with $5.1 million across twenty-one awards, followed by Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center and Naval Sea Systems Command. The vendor operates primarily under an NSF Blanket Purchase Agreement (NSFDACS08B1135) carrying 102 task orders worth $972 thousand, and under the Federal Supply Schedule GS35F0206S with twelve task orders worth $570 thousand.

In its subcontractor footprint, Electro Rent supplies test equipment and measurement instruments to Raytheon Company across multiple programs including AMRAAM (Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile) lot production, Patriot firing unit support, and AN/SPY-6 family radar programs, with work spanning test equipment rental and lease services. The vendor also supplies rental equipment under L3Harris Technologies contracts including MET sustainment support, counter communications systems production, and satellite communications terminal support, with multiple incremental funding modifications across option periods. Additional prime relationships include Sikorsky Aircraft (Combat Rescue Helicopter program rental services), Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (control panel laboratory and scientific equipment), HII Mission Technologies (logistics intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance ISR equipment and counter explosive hazard research support), and Lockheed Martin (oscilloscopes and power supplies for next-generation infrared and air-to-ground initiatives). The vendor's scope as a subcontractor focuses narrowly on equipment rental, procurement, and lease services rather than engineering or integration.
