Icom America, Incorporated

Icom America, Incorporated, a foreign-owned, for-profit corporation based in Kirkland, Washington, manufactures and supplies handheld and fixed radio communication equipment, receiver-transmitter systems, batteries, antennas, and related accessories to the U.S. military and civilian agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements with periodic small-business set-asides.

Icom America is a subsidiary of Japanese communications technology company Icom Incorporated. The vendor operates across 1,056 prime awards spanning 179 federal customer agencies, with a combined potential value of $5.29 billion and combined dollars obligated of $79.1 million (1% of potential value), reflecting its role as a specialized equipment supplier issuing numerous small-value delivery orders and purchase orders rather than large integration contracts. The vendor qualifies as a small business and has held small-business set-aside designations on selected awards, including $350,000 single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (Total Small Business, through January 2027) and awards under Total Small Business designations from the Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The top five customer agencies by award count account for 36% of recent awards and track closely with dollar concentration. The Department of the Army dominates both rankings with 274 awards and $33.6 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard (27 awards, $352 thousand), the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (27 awards, $134 thousand), the GSA Federal Acquisition Service (26 awards, $1 million), and the Department of the Interior National Park Service National Office (23 awards, $570 thousand). The vendor's award footprint reflects heavy Army consumption of handheld radios and receiver-transmitter components, with coastal and maritime agencies (Coast Guard, Navy) placing consistent small orders for marine-rated radio equipment.

Icom America's vehicle position centers on the Information Technology Schedule 70 (IT-70), which carries 864 task orders worth $547.9 million in combined potential value—the overwhelming majority of the vendor's federal dollars. The vendor also maintains a $1 million General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contract (33 task orders, $933 thousand combined potential value) running through June 2026, a $375,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement with Franchise Acquisition Services for electronic components and accessories (established September 2026, through August 2031), a $250,000 single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with Defense Logistics Agency Aviation for receiver-transmitter equipment (running through February 2028), a $350,000 single-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for handsets (through January 2027), and a $149,900 single-award BPA with the Federal Aviation Administration for spare parts and accessories (through June 2026). Representative recent work includes a $92,169.20 delivery order from USDA Wildlife Services (May 2025) for radio communication equipment supporting inspections and predator control operations nationwide; a $59,580 delivery order from the U.S. Coast Guard (December 2024) for swimmer radios; a $54,144.05 purchase order from VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 (July 2023) for emergency response radios and multisite-trunk digital radios at Seattle-area VA facilities; and a $60,346.03 delivery order from USDA Wildlife Services (September 2026, most recent) for a hybrid P25 satellite radio system to Roseburg, Oregon.

Category concentration reinforces specialized radio-equipment manufacturing: Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing (NAICS 334210) accounts for 848 awards; Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (NAICS 334220) for 106 awards; and Electronic Computer Manufacturing (NAICS 334111) for 32 awards. The top Product Service Code is Radio and Television Communication Equipment, Except Airborne (388 awards), followed by Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuild of ADP Equipment and Software (274 awards) and Miscellaneous Communication Equipment (106 awards). Activity has remained flat across the past five years (13, 13, 12, 11, and 7 awards for 2022–2026 respectively), with only one award reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $60 thousand), indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term.

Icom America supplies labor services on its GSA Schedule at two distinct labor categories spanning $176.32 to $201.50 per hour—Two-way Radio Onsite Technical Support and Two-way Radio Engineering Support—both at the Associate level requiring two years of experience and no security clearance. The vendor subcontracts minimally: one recorded sub-award with Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. (November 2024) for profile pivot two-way radio equipment. Place of performance across the prime footprint centers on Kirkland, Washington (corporate location), with subordinate work sites in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (Franchise Acquisition Services BPA operations) and occasional field deployments to customer sites nationwide.
