Intelligent Devices LLC

Intelligent Devices LLC, a for-profit limited liability company and manufacturer of secure communications equipment and RF-shielded enclosures based in Columbia, Maryland, sells specialized audio masking systems, encrypted radio equipment, portable Faraday cage systems, and technical security countermeasures to federal agencies as a prime contractor (91% of recent awards) and occasional subcontractor. Intelligent Devices is a subsidiary of Heico Corp, a diversified aerospace and defense manufacturer, and competes exclusively on full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurements, reflecting its specialized and often sole-source technical position in federal communications security.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on niche secure communications and electromagnetic shielding products. Representative prime work includes a $459,090 delivery order from Air Mobility Command (April 2026) for FY26 travel kits comprising Maxwell six-talker compact systems, Shield Enclosure AIR Frame systems, SECAIR Environmental Systems (8000 BTU units), and Maxine third-generation speech masking systems shipped to Scott Air Force Base; a $801,600 purchase order from Navy Criminal Investigative Service (June 2025) for SMG2/250 kits supporting technical security operations; and a $295,680 purchase order from Air Mobility Command (July 2025) for FY25 TCCC travel kit enclosures including portable Faraday cage systems designed to create electromagnetically shielded environments for secure Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information communications. Additional representative awards include a $192,770 Air Force order (July 2025) for ultra-light portable RF-shielded equipment for Critical Combat Casualty Care teams and a $537,850 Chief Security Officer order (September 2026) for twelve Maxine Travel-8 masking systems and SMG2 Superman audio equipment.

Customer concentration is moderate and broad across defense and intelligence agencies. The top five customers by award count—the Office of the Secretary of Defense (8 awards, $598 thousand), the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard (7 awards, $604 thousand), the Department of the Army European Command (7 awards, $1.1 million), the Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command (6 awards, $1 million), and the Defense Information Systems Agency (6 awards, $9.2 million)—account for 28% of awards. By potential value, the top tier shifts slightly: the Defense Information Systems Agency dominates at $9.2 million (6 awards), followed by the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command ($1.3 million, 2 awards), the Department of the Air Force Headquarters District Washington ($1.3 million, 5 awards), the Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy Criminal Investigative Service Quantico ($1.2 million, 3 awards), and the Department of the Army European Command ($1.1 million, 7 awards), together representing 63% of combined potential value. The divergence signals that DISA anchors the largest single dollar commitment while the Coast Guard, Army Europe, and OSD place higher-volume, lower-value orders.

Intelligent Devices sits on Alliant II (3 task orders), the Special Operations Equipment—Tailored Logistics Support vehicle (2 task orders), and subordinate single-award IDIQs including FA7014424D0007 and 47QFPA22D0003. The vendor does not hold position on major government-wide acquisition contracts or agency-wide IDIQs; its vehicle footprint reflects specialty procurement channels aligned with its technical niche.

Activity has grown over the past five years—three prime awards in 2022, seven in 2023, fourteen in 2024, eight in 2025, and seven in 2026—indicating steady expansion. Combined potential value across all 121 awards (prime and sub) reaches $22.4 million, though combined obligated dollars total $27.5 million (122% of potential value), suggesting contract modifications and incremental funding have exceeded original ceilings. Five awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry $1.2 million in combined potential value, a modest recompete exposure relative to total portfolio size.

In its subcontractor role, Intelligent Devices supplies communications equipment and RF-shielded enclosures to General Dynamics Information Technology (multiple sub-awards for Global Security Engineering and Supply Chain Services), Leidos (Air Force AFNCR-ITS services and Standing Army work), Smartronix (C5ISR capabilities for Special Operations Command Pacific), Atlantic Diving Supply (Maxine Travel kits and Shield Enclosure Air Frame systems), and CACI (Communication and Information Technology Services). These relationships represent product supply rather than systems integration or engineering subcontracting.

Intelligent Devices' primary NAICS concentration is Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing (49 awards), followed by Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (9 awards), Software Publishers (9 awards), and Other Sound Recording Industries (9 awards). The corresponding PSC coding emphasizes Communications Security Equipment and Components (24 awards), Miscellaneous Alarm, Signal, and Security Detection Systems (9 awards), and Information Technology Software (9 awards). Across both metrics, the vendor's footprint is dominated by hardware manufacturing and specialized communications security products rather than labor-intensive services, which explains its exclusive prime-award posture and lack of set-aside eligibility. The company has been a registered federal contractor since November 2002 and serves forty-seven distinct customer agencies, spanning DoD, civilian intelligence, law enforcement, and civilian security operations across CONUS and OCONUS locations.
