CPI Satcom & Antenna Technologies Inc.

CPI Satcom & Antenna Technologies Inc., operating through its Large Antennas Division, manufactures microwave, radio frequency, and satellite communications equipment and components as a prime contractor to the Department of Defense and civilian federal agencies, competing exclusively in full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurements. The company is a large for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Kilgore, Texas, with manufacturing facilities also in La Plata, Maryland. CPI Satcom competes primarily as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) across 399 total federal awards spanning 35 distinct customer agencies.

The vendor's capability footprint centers on antenna systems, cable assemblies, waveguide assemblies, electronic switches, antenna control units, and radome structures. Recent representative work includes a $402,090 purchase order from the Office of Naval Research (September 2025) for a Model M40-75-3006 metal space frame radome with integrated zenith hatch, base access hatch, base vent with adjustable louvers, and spare panel kit, performed in La Plata, Maryland; a $331,987 Defense Logistics Agency Aviation order (October 2025) for 101 precision induction indicators; a $46,115 DLA Land and Maritime purchase order (May 2025) for 23 antenna control units with source-control restrictions; and a $528,408.54 Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command order (August 2021) for antenna subassemblies. CPI Satcom also holds a single-award five-year Indefinite Delivery Contract with DoD Aviation (awarded July 2025, ceiling $250,000) for specification cable assemblies. The vendor's recent activity has accelerated sharply — two awards in 2021, nine in 2024, and twenty-two in 2025 — with only $3,000 in combined potential value completing in the next twenty-four months, signaling minimal recompete exposure.

Customer concentration divides between volume and dollars. By award count, 76% of awards distribute across Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (124 awards, $1.2 million combined potential value), DLA Land and Maritime (97 awards, $1.9 million), DLA Troop Support Hardware (36 awards, $194 thousand), Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command (27 awards, $1.9 million), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (18 awards, $381 thousand). By potential value, the ranking shifts materially: Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center anchors 4 awards at $23.3 million combined potential value, followed by United States Marine Corps (16 awards, $6.4 million), Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Aeronautical Center (9 awards, $3 million), and then DLA Land and Maritime and Army CEC dropping to $1.9 million each. The portfolio's top parent vehicles are Indefinite Delivery Contracts including N6833513D0032 (3 task orders, $8.3 million combined potential value) and DTFAAC06D00025 (5 task orders, $4.5 million).
