Gap Wireless Inc.

Gap Wireless Inc., a minority-owned, Black American-owned small business subchapter S corporation based in Seabrook, New Hampshire, procures and resells electronic test and measurement equipment—primarily Keysight Technologies branded instruments including multimeters, oscilloscopes, power meters, spectrum analyzers, current sensors, and RF components—to federal defense and civilian agencies as a prime contractor on small-dollar purchase orders. The company operates as a child entity of Network Wireless Solutions, LLC (itself minority-owned and Black American-owned) and competes across both full-and-open and total-small-business-set-aside procurement vehicles, with heavy concentration on small-business-designated awards.

Gap Wireless's customer base centers on the Defense Logistics Agency, which accounts for 89% of award volume. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime alone placed 191 awards worth $2.8 million in combined potential value, with an additional 19 awards through DLA Aviation totaling $117 thousand. The Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command follows with 15 awards valued at $545 thousand combined. NIST, NASA Shared Services Center, and the Naval Academy round out the top tier. Dollar concentration and award-count concentration track closely—DLA Land and Maritime dominates both dimensions—reflecting a vendor posture built on high-frequency, modest-dollar delivery orders (typically $1,000 to $60,000 per order) rather than large integrations.

Gap Wireless holds three single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency: a $250,000 current-sensor IDC awarded in May 2023 (total small business set-aside, ultimate completion May 1, 2024, since extended), a $250,000 radio-frequency-switch IDC awarded in February 2022 (no set-aside, completion December 9, 2022), and a recently awarded $250,000 current-sensor IDC effective through December 20, 2025 (total small business set-aside, awarded December 20, 2024). These parent vehicles serve as the operational backbone, with delivery orders flowing regularly in the $18,000 to $41,000 range. Recent representative awards include a $200,317.77 NIST purchase order (July 2026) for power meters and RF components under total-small-business set-aside, a $107,497.05 Naval Sea Systems Command award (September 2025) for peak power analyzers under total-small-business set-aside, a $96,429.18 Air Force Materiel Command award (October 2025) for 22 Keysight calibration kits (no set-aside), and a $81,125.67 NIST award (September 2025) for digital multimeters.

The vendor's award footprint spans 267 prime contracts (100% prime, zero subcontract exposure) across 24 customer agencies over the past five years (2022–2026), with annual volume trending stable at 50–58 awards per year and combined potential value of $5.3 million (86% of which has been obligated). Top NAICS codes reflect the product mix: Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals dominates at 65 awards, followed by Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (50 awards) and Totalizing Fluid Meter and Counting Device Manufacturing (50 awards). Within the next twenty-four months, five awards totaling $162 thousand face completion and recompete exposure, a modest cliff that does not threaten the standing relationship with DLA.

Gap Wireless operates as an authorized Keysight reseller, positioning itself as a critical-path distributor for brand-name requirements across the federal test-and-measurement ecosystem. The company's competitive posture leans heavily on total-small-business-set-aside vehicles and 8(a)-adjacent opportunities (though no explicit 8(a) certification appears in the source), enabling it to compete in a vendor-constrained segment where government agencies often lack the scale to purchase directly from original equipment manufacturers and require value-added ordering through certified small businesses. Place of performance is predominantly Seabrook, New Hampshire, with occasional delivery to end-user sites (e.g., NIST Gaithersburg, Naval Surface Warfare Center Norco, Air Force installations). No subcontractor footprint or teaming relationships are evident; Gap Wireless functions as a direct supplier, not a systems integrator.
