Golden Engineering, Inc.

Golden Engineering, Inc., a small business manufacturer of portable, battery-powered X-ray generators and related equipment headquartered in Centerville, Indiana, operates as a prime contractor (98% of awards) on federal contracts for detection, inspection, and diagnostic equipment across law enforcement, defense, and security sectors, competing full-and-open without set-aside restrictions on most work.

Golden Engineering's concrete capability portfolio centers on manufacturing and supplying portable X-ray systems (XR150, XR200, XRS3, XRS4 models) and providing associated maintenance, depot repair, demilitarization, and equipment logistics services. Recent representative prime work includes a $42.1 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with Naval Sea Systems Command through September 2026 for MK 32 X-ray systems, maintenance, and demilitarization support; a $180,000 single-award IDC with the FBI Academy through December 2028 for service and maintenance of X-ray generators with parts and labor; and a $91,950 delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command in September 2024 for depot services and demilitarization of 122 systems. Golden Engineering also holds a General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contract and operates under a Law Enforcement & Security Services vehicle with 180 task orders ($11.7 million combined potential value). Small-business set-aside designations appear on roughly one-third of orders (primarily Total Small Business awards from the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives), but the vendor competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of the Navy, particularly Naval Sea Systems Command, which anchors the portfolio with 47 awards and $72.3 million in combined potential value—representing 86% of the top customers' dollars. The Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security ranks second by award count (81 awards, $9.3 million), while the Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division places third (46 awards, $2.3 million). The top five customers by potential value account for 86% of combined potential value, with Naval Sea Systems Command's single large IDC dominating dollars while FBI and other agencies drive order volume. Golden Engineering's parent vehicles center on the Law Enforcement & Security Services vehicle (180 task orders) and a GSA BPA (SAQMMA11A0254, 61 task orders), alongside multiple Navy IDCs dating back to 2012 and 2017.

Activity remains stable at seven to ten awards per year over the past five years; only four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $79 thousand, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The vendor's subcontract footprint is negligible (2% of awards), with work as a sub primarily routed through Lockheed Martin on operational logistics support and through Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies on National Security Campus work. Golden Engineering's product portfolio spans Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing and Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing (234 and 142 awards respectively), with secondary exposure in repair and maintenance (23 awards). The company has maintained federal contracting relationships since at least 1982 across 60 distinct customer agencies, with cumulative potential value of $99.8 million, of which $41.8 million has been obligated (42% realization rate).
