Hensoldt Inc.

Hensoldt Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of advanced radar and sensor components headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) supplying specialized electronic components, power supplies, radar assemblies, and repair services to the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, and Defense Logistics Agency on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations. The company is a subsidiary of Northern Defense Industries, LLC, and competes across goods procurement and services contracts without reliance on small-business or minority-owned certifications.

Hensoldt's federal portfolio centers on radar system sustainment and maritime surveillance component supply. Core capabilities include manufacture and repair of power supplies, antenna assemblies, circuit card assemblies, processors, transmitters, receivers, and specialized electronic modules that sustain the AN/SPS-75 air search radar system and related naval platforms. Representative prime work includes a $55.9 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Defense Logistics Agency (Document Services) for AN/SPS-75 radar system spare parts and services through December 2026; a $12.3 million single-award IDC with the U.S. Coast Guard for TRS-3D/SPS-75 air search radar spare parts on National Security Cutters; a Basic Ordering Agreement with Naval Supply Systems Command (effective January 2028) generating 35 task orders valued at $12.1 million combined for radar component repair and supply; and a $1.7 million Coast Guard delivery order (April 2023) for AN/SPS-75 sustainment and maintenance support services.

Customer concentration is extreme and reflects Hensoldt's role as a specialized radar component supplier. The top five funding agencies account for 95% of recent award counts: Naval Supply Systems Command leads by volume with 117 awards ($37.9 million combined potential value), followed by the U.S. Coast Guard with 50 awards ($50.4 million), and Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime with 42 awards ($1.1 million). By potential value, the ranking inverts sharply—the DLA Document Services IDC alone ($55.9 million ceiling) dwarfs all other customer relationships, signaling that Hensoldt's revenue is anchored by a single large vehicle. The Coast Guard ranks second by dollars ($50.4 million across 50 awards, averaging roughly $1 million per award), while Naval Supply Systems Command's high volume translates to lower per-award magnitude ($37.9 million across 117 awards, averaging roughly $324 thousand). This vendor depends almost entirely on these three customer nodes for federal revenue; the remaining nine distinct agencies account for less than 5% of recent awards.

Hensoldt's parent vehicle footprint is concentrated but moderately diversified. The Basic Ordering Agreement N0010423GZA01 with Naval Supply Systems Command carries 35 task orders ($12.1 million combined potential value) for radar component repair and supply through January 2028. The company also holds multiple IDCs: a $20.6 million Indefinite Delivery Contract 70Z08520D32055B00 (9 task orders), a $5.5 million IDC 70Z04419D19000800 (5 task orders), and a $11.1 million IDC SPRMM123DTD02 (2 task orders). These vehicles enable repeatable ordering for radar and power supply components without new competitive procurements.

Activity has declined sharply in recent years. Awards per fiscal year dropped from 43 in 2023 to 25 in 2024, 17 in 2025, and only 3 awards through May 2026. This steep downward trajectory, combined with five awards (combined potential value $12.4 million) completing within the next twenty-four months, positions Hensoldt to face significant recompete exposure in 2026–2027 as task orders under the BOA and major IDCs approach expiration or renewal windows. The $55.9 million DLA IDC renews December 2026; the Naval Supply Systems Command BOA extends to January 2028, but task order absorption under it has slowed.

Service Contract Inventory data is minimal and reflects Hensoldt's primary posture as a goods supplier rather than a services contractor. SCI-reportable invoicing totaled $2.9 million across FY2022–FY2025 (FY2022: $1.4 million / 0.7 FTEs; FY2024: zero; FY2025: $1.5 million / 2.5 FTEs). Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable work cluster around a median of $870/hr, with a 10th-to-90th-percentile range of $762–$978/hr, suggesting technical labor and engineering support rather than low-touch logistics work. Sub-engagement on SCI prime contracts averaged zero percent, indicating Hensoldt builds its delivery internally on service work.

Hensoldt operates almost exclusively as a prime (98% of awards), though it subcontracts on a limited basis under major defense primes. Named sub-awards include engineering services to General Dynamics Land Systems for M1 Abrams tank work (March 2023) and technical representative services to Tecnico Corporation for USS St. Louis (LCS 19) equipment removal and repair (April 2023). These sub relationships reflect specialized radar or optronics expertise deployed to larger platform integrators rather than a systematic feeder role.

The vendor's award category concentration reflects its radar and sensor focus: the top NAICS code is 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing, 83 awards), followed by electrical and electronic assemblies and wiring device manufacturing. The top PSC codes reinforce this: Radar Equipment Except Airborne (45 awards), Converters Electrical Nonrotating (37 awards), and Electrical/Electronic Assemblies Boards Cards (29 awards). Hensoldt is a specialized, component-level supplier to Navy and Coast Guard maritime radar systems, not a systems integrator or broad-based defense contractor.
