Elite Electronic Engineering Inc.

Elite Electronic Engineering Inc., a for-profit corporation headquartered in Downers Grove, Illinois, develops avionics software, electromagnetic compatibility testing, and environmental durability testing for military transport aircraft and defense electronics, operating as a prime contractor on 55% of recent federal awards and as a subcontractor on 45%, with no SBA set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

Elite Electronic Engineering specializes in preflight, takeoff, and landing (PRETOLD) software solutions for the C-130J and HC-130J Hercules platforms, supported by over 65 years of experience in electromagnetic compatibility testing and environmental durability evaluation. The company's concrete capability work centers on electronic flight bag software development, avionics system validation, and sensor and countermeasure testing across multiple military branches. Representative prime work includes a $372,255 purchase order from Air Force Reserve Command (awarded April 2023) for C-130J PRETOLD end-user license software running through March 2028; a $146,080 purchase order from Global Strike Command (May 2022) for 22 C-130J PRETOLD software licenses and implementation support at Dyess Air Force Base; a $97,110 purchase order from the U.S. Coast Guard (April 2026) for HC-130J Electronic Takeoff and Landing Data solutions supporting the Electronic Flight Bag system in Washington, DC; and a $58,660 purchase order from Air Forces Europe and Africa (September 2023) for C-130J PRETOLD software application development performed in Germany. Elite Electronic Engineering holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with Pacific Air Forces valued at $174,300 (July 2023 through July 2028) for C-130 electronic flight bag software development at Yokota Air Base, Japan, with consistent annual delivery orders of $17,430 each under this vehicle.

Customer concentration sits with Air Force major commands. The Department of the Air Force accounts for the largest share of both award count and potential value, with Air Mobility Command anchoring 3 awards worth $716,000 combined potential value and Pacific Air Forces placing 5 awards worth $351,000. The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard contributes 3 awards ($216,000 combined potential value), and the Department of the Army serves as a secondary customer across multiple commands with 17 awards total. The top five customer agencies by potential value account for 66% of combined potential value; by award count, the top customer grouping (Air Mobility Command Aeronautical Systems Center, Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Intelligence, and Army RDECOM) represents 51% of all awards.

Elite Electronic Engineering operates under five parent vehicles anchoring recent task-order activity. The Indefinite Delivery Contract FA863819D0001 carries 13 task orders; W58RGZ21D0028 carries 9 task orders; Blanket Purchase Agreement W911QY15A0002 carries 6 task orders ($47,000 combined potential value); FA854019D0001 carries 4 task orders; and FA520923D0006 carries 3 task orders ($52,000 combined potential value). These vehicles span Air Force and Army procurement, with testing laboratory and aeronautical systems development as the dominant work categories.

Award activity has grown substantially — from 6 awards in 2022 to 19 in 2025 — though the source includes only 3 awards in 2026 to date. Four awards carrying combined potential value of $640,000 reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting a recompete window for those vehicles.

Elite Electronic Engineering subcontracts predominantly to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on infrared countermeasure system engineering, targeting pod sustainment, large aircraft self-protection system testing, and F-16 active electronically scanned array radar development. The company also performs sub work for Sierra Nevada Company and DRS Sustainment Systems on unmanned aerial system defeat system integration and electro-optical/infrared sight system testing. Across testing laboratory and engineering support roles, the company delivers electromagnetic and environmental qualification services that enhance prime contractor capab­ility on airborne defense platforms.

The company's federal contracting footprint spans 78 awards across 27 distinct customer agencies, with testing laboratory services and aeronautical systems development as the dominant NAICS categories. Elite Electronic Engineering is registered in SAM.gov through February 2026 and competes on full-and-open awards without SBA set-aside designation.
