Teledyne Flir Defense, LLC

Teledyne Flir Defense, Inc. (Teledyne Flir Detection, Inc. Division, doing business as Flir Detection Inc.), a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, manufactures advanced electro-optical, infrared, thermal imaging, and chemical-biological detection technologies for defense, homeland security, and civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor on 97% of its recent awards. The company competes in full-and-open federal procurements with no small business set-asides and operates from primary facilities in Stillwater, Oklahoma, with additional operational centers across the United States, including West Lafayette, Indiana; Indian Head, Maryland; McCoy, Colorado; and Alameda, California.

Teledyne Flir Detection's capability portfolio spans detection systems, thermal imaging, munitions support, repair and sustainment services, and unmanned aerial systems. Representative prime work includes a $249 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with the U.S. Marine Corps for the Organic Precision Fires Light program (All-Up Rounds, Ground Control Stations, ancillary equipment, and contractor logistics support, extended through April 2032); a $53.96 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with Naval Sea Systems Command for Identifinder R400 systems procurement and maintenance (through September 2027); a $13.8 million Army OTA awarded March 2026 for next-generation sensors and integration into unmanned platforms for chemical and biological hazard detection; and a $25.6 million Defense Threat Reduction Agency definitive contract for Digital Battlefield Chemical and Biological Threat Mapping and Augmented Reality Display capabilities (through December 2025). The company also holds a $7.88 million Department of Homeland Security Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction contract for TS10 research and development (cost-plus-fixed-fee, through November 2027) and a $5 million National Science Foundation Convergence Accelerator Track L program award for convergent research.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward defense and federal scientific buyers. The Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center Joint PEO Chemical and Biological Defense accounts for 46 awards and $8.33 billion in combined potential value (approximately 91% of the vendor's total portfolio), anchored by an indefinite delivery contract (W911QY-15-D-0048) spanning chemical and biological detection systems, nerve agent applicators, indicator kits, and training kits. The U.S. Marine Corps, Naval Sea Systems Command, and Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Headquarters round out the top tier, with 11, 47, and 48 awards respectively and combined potential values of $315.9 million, $76.3 million, and $156.4 million. The top five customers account for roughly 98% of the vendor's combined potential-value footprint. Within the FAA universe, the Non-Franchise Acquisition Services division (35 awards, $826 thousand) represents volume activity in small-dollar repair and maintenance orders for thermal functional units, radars, and pan-tilt systems, while FAA Headquarters (48 awards, $156.4 million) anchors larger indefinite delivery vehicle activity for FLIR systems support and National Airspace System assets.

Teledyne Flir Detection places task orders primarily under three indefinite delivery vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract 6973GH-18-D-00085 with the FAA (42 task orders, $63.8 million in combined potential value) for FLIR support and aviation safety assets; Indefinite Delivery Contract W911QY-15-D-0048 with the Army (35 task orders, $23.7 million) for chemical and biological detection production and sustainment; and a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (164 task orders, $32.7 million) for miscellaneous detection and sensor products across multiple civilian agencies. The vendor holds single-award IDIQs with the Marine Corps ($249 million, extended through April 2032) and Naval Sea Systems Command ($53.96 million, through September 2027). The company also participates in the 20 AURS SOCOM TAMPA vehicle (Marine Corps) and the OPF-L TDY vehicle (Marine Corps), generating incremental delivery orders for munitions and equipment sustainment.

Activity has grown substantially over the past five years — from 25 awards in 2022 to 53 in 2024 — though 2025 and 2026 year-to-date show lower award counts (20 and 5 respectively), reflecting a characteristic post-peak profile in the data window. Nine awards totaling $60.2 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete exposure.

SCI reporting captures $21 million in invoiced federal services revenue across FY2022–FY2024: $12.4 million in FY2023 (13.7 FTEs) and $8.5 million in FY2024 (6.0 FTEs). SCI covers service contracts above the $150,000 threshold and excludes goods, products, and classified work; these figures represent a small slice of the vendor's total federal revenue given that Teledyne Flir Detection is primarily a products and equipment manufacturer. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ran a median of $850.80 per hour, with rates spanning from $81.66 per hour (10th percentile) to $1,936.07 per hour (90th percentile), reflecting mixed labor complexity (basic repair and maintenance work at the low end, complex R&D and engineering support at the high end). The vendor performed 100% of SCI-reportable contract hours in-house; sub-engagement was zero across the SCI dataset.

Teledyne Flir Detection operates as a prime on 97% of its awards. In its subcontractor role, the vendor supplies Identifinder R400 detection systems, FIDO X4 handheld explosives trace detectors, Recon thermal binoculars, FLIR R80D unmanned aircraft systems, and R80 Block mission kits to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc., a federal systems integrator and GSA Multiple Award Schedule holder, and provides specialized detection and logistics support to Battelle Memorial Institute (Army chemical and biological protection engineering) and HII Mission Technologies Corp (Naval Surface Warfare Center unmanned vehicle refurbishment).

The vendor's NAICS footprint reflects its core capability: Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (205 awards), with secondary concentrations in electronic equipment repair (48 awards), miscellaneous chemical manufacturing (44 and 32 awards respectively), and search-and-detection instrument manufacturing (35 awards). Primary PSC codes are Hazard-Detecting Instruments and Apparatus (67 awards) and Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components (51 awards).
