Eotech, LLC

Eotech, LLC, a Plymouth, Michigan–based manufacturer of optoelectronic and imaging systems for defense applications, operates as a prime contractor on $152.8 million in combined potential federal awards and as a subcontractor on an additional portfolio of work, competing predominantly in full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurements across Department of Defense and related customers. The company competes across a mix of firm-fixed-price and time-and-materials delivery orders and holds positions on multiple indefinite delivery contracts, with 27% of recent awards as prime and 73% as subcontractor work, reflecting a business model anchored to teaming relationships with major defense primes rather than standalone offerings.

Eotech's capability portfolio centers on electronic image intensifier cameras, holographic weapon sights and targeting systems, clip-on magnifiers, optical components for airborne platforms, and specialized optoelectronic repair and sustainment services. Prime awards span Apache helicopter camera systems, Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I and Phase II contracts for advanced optical systems, and delivery orders for optical components across multiple military branches. Representative prime work includes a $16.36 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with Army Aviation and Missile Command (renewed through September 2026) for production, repair, and technical services on Generation II electronic image intensifier cameras used on the AH-64D/E Apache helicopter and foreign military sales; a $11.62 million delivery order from the Army's Aviation and Missile Command to support Apache depot repair and technical services through February 2027; a $729 thousand SBIR Phase II award from the Air Force Research Laboratory for dual-color holographic head-up display development; and a $894.7 thousand delivery order from Air Force Air Mobility Command for clip-on magnifiers. Eotech also holds an initial $500 delivery order on the Missile Defense Agency's $151 billion SHIELD multi-award IDIQ (awarded December 2025, running through December 2035) and a $321.7 thousand Other Transaction Agreement with the Air Force for critical design review activities.

Customer concentration skews heavily toward the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command, which accounts for 62 of 104 total awards in the source data, though that concentration reflects the volume of small delivery orders placed through the FA854019D0001 IDC rather than largest-dollar relationships. By potential value, the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command leads with $49.1 million across three awards (including a $443 thousand clip-on magnifier delivery order), followed closely by Army Aviation and Missile Command with $48.5 million across five awards anchored to the Apache camera platform, and Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground with $25 million on a single award. Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory accounts for $11 million across four SBIR efforts. The top five customer agencies by potential-value ranking cover 96% of combined dollars.

Eotech's vehicle footprint is dominated by the FA854019D0001 indefinite delivery contract (63 task orders), which appears to be an Air Force supply-chain vehicle for optics and optical components across DLA Troop Support and related customers. The Army's W58RGZ21D0084 IDIQ (4 task orders, $12.8 million combined potential value) covers Apache-platform camera production and repair. Special Operations Equipment - Tailored Logistics Supply carries 9 task orders. A single award in the recompete window (the Army Aviation and Missile Command contract) expires in September 2026 with $11.62 million potential value at risk.

In its subcontractor role, Eotech supplies electronic components and subsystems to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on LITENING CATP (Compliant/Advanced Targeting Pod) programs, with regular sub-awards dating through the past two years for electronic component manufacturing and engineering services related to airborne targeting pods. Eotech also supplies holographic weapon sights, rifle sights, and aiming lasers to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. across multiple sub-awards since 2023, and provides night-vision and optical component support to Lockheed Martin Corporation for M-TADS/PNVS (Modernized Target Acquisition Designation Sight/Pilot Night Vision Sensor) performance-based logistics on the Apache helicopter. A single recent sub-award from ManTech TSG-2 JV involves unmanned aircraft systems engineering and thermal reflex sight development for Naval Air Systems Command and Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division.

Activity has accelerated sharply: four awards in 2021, seventeen in 2023, and 43 in 2024, with 26 awards in 2025 to date. Obligated dollars ($75.3 million) represent 49% of combined potential value, suggesting a substantial backlog of unexercised ceiling. The single near-term recompete cliff is the Army Aviation and Missile Command $11.62 million Apache sustainment contract completing in September 2026.
