Ferguson Richard

Ferguson Richard, doing business as RF Concepts, is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business manufacturer of satellite communication antennas and related RF equipment that operates as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) supplying the Department of the Navy and U.S. Special Operations Command. Based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, RF Concepts manufactures flat-panel SATCOM antennas and Blue Force Tracking antenna systems, competing predominantly in total small-business set-aside and full-and-open procurement categories.

RF Concepts' customer base is highly concentrated within the Navy's warfare centers. The Naval Air Warfare Center (Naval Air Systems Command) accounts for 9 awards totaling $698 thousand in combined potential value, followed by Naval Sea Systems Command with 6 awards worth $303 thousand and U.S. Special Operations Command with 6 awards worth $240 thousand; these three customers alone represent 84% of recent award count and 89% of combined potential value. The Department of the Air Force Air National Guard, Department of the Army, and Naval Supply Systems Command round out the active customer set. RF Concepts has served a total of 10 distinct federal agencies across recent activity but maintains deep specialization within Navy communications procurement.

Capability work consists almost entirely of purchase orders for the RF-SAT-FLAT-243-318-TMF-11, Revision 5 flat SATCOM antenna as a brand-name product. Representative prime awards include a $92,821.85 purchase order from Naval Air Warfare Center awarded in February 2026 for various antennas under total small-business set-aside; a $126,428 purchase order from Naval Air Warfare Center in September 2024 for four units of the flat SATCOM antenna under a brand-name procurement; and a $120,408 purchase order from Naval Air Warfare Center in March 2023 for the same antenna model under total small-business set-aside. NAICS concentration reflects this narrow focus: 23 of 32 recent awards fall under Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing, with 20 awards coded to the Antennas, Waveguides, and Related Equipment PSC.

Activity remains low-volume and sporadic — one award per year in 2022, 2023, 2025, and 2026, with two awards in 2024 — carrying a combined potential value of $1.7 million across all 32 recent awards. One award (combined potential value $93 thousand) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore presents a recompete window. RF Concepts holds a position as a subcontractor to BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services Inc. on an antenna task order awarded in April 2025. The vendor's federal footprint is characterized by narrow product specialization, long-standing Navy relationships anchored to brand-name SATCOM antenna procurement, and veteran-owned small-business set-aside positioning that dominates its prime competitive posture.
