Invisio Communications Inc.

Invisio Communications Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business (SDB) headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, manufactures advanced tactical communication and hearing protection systems for military, law enforcement, and federal agencies as a prime contractor on 92% of its recent federal awards. The company operates as a goods manufacturer across NAICS codes emphasizing communications equipment and headset manufacturing, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) and through agency-specific indefinite-delivery vehicles (IDVs), with secondary small business set-aside activity on specialized operations contracts.

Invisio's federal footprint centers on tactical communication equipment — noise-cancelling headsets, secure radios, wireless crew communication systems, push-to-talk units, and intercom assemblies — supplied primarily to Department of Defense special operations units, law enforcement tactical teams, and maritime rescue operators. Representative prime work includes a $99 million firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded September 30, 2025, by the U.S. Coast Guard for development and delivery of a boat crew communications system for vessels under 65 feet (ultimate completion September 29, 2035); a $46.6 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM), established April 8, 2024, under the GSA MAS, supporting multiple special operations commands (16 task orders issued through mid-2026, ranging $34 thousand to $1.7 million); and a $1.24 million BPA call from RDECOM on March 27, 2025, for Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC), Marine Corps Special Operations Command (MARSOC), and Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) communications solutions. Invisio also supplies rescue swimmer headsets and maritime communication gear under an $804.9 thousand BPA with the U.S. Coast Guard (established August 22, 2022, through the GSA MAS) and tactical communication equipment under a $151.7 thousand single-award BPA with U.S. Marshals Service Special Operations Group Camp Beauregard (February 19, 2024, through February 18, 2029).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward defense and maritime operators. The top five funding agencies by award count represent 66% of recent awards; by potential value, the U.S. Coast Guard leads with $205.4 million across 13 awards (41% of the $509.5 million portfolio), followed by Army Materiel Command Sustainment Command at $156.8 million (4 awards), and RDECOM at $109.5 million across 74 awards. The two rankings diverge markedly — RDECOM dominates award volume through numerous smaller task orders (median $1–2 million per call), while Coast Guard concentration reflects a single $99 million definitive contract for boat crew systems plus the underlying $804.9 thousand BPA. Drug Enforcement Administration and GSA Federal Acquisition Service each account for 31 awards but sub-$1 million combined value, indicating routine small purchase orders for headsets and communication cables.

Invisio's vehicle position is anchored to the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, under which 126 task orders worth $240.7 million have been issued. The company holds or sits on five named IDVs: the $46.6 million RDECOM PMPI INVISIO BPA (16 task orders, $34 thousand–$1.7 million range); the $804.9 thousand Coast Guard rescue swimmer headsets BPA (3 calls issued); the $151.7 thousand USMS Special Operations Group BPA (multiple calls including $215.6 thousand for executing court orders and arrest warrants, July 2025); an indefinite delivery contract (W911QY19D0056) with 29 task orders worth $12.4 million; and an indefinite delivery contract (W911QY17D0015) with 11 task orders worth $13 million. The company also participates in the Special Operations Equipment – Tailored Logistics Support (SOETLS) vehicle with 15 task orders. Beyond these, a $99 million Coast Guard definitive contract for boat crew communications (September 2025) and a $2.56 million first production order (September 2025) represent the largest single awards in the recent footprint.

Activity has remained steady year-over-year: 29 awards in 2022, 28 in 2023, 42 in 2024, 43 in 2025, and 19 in the first half of 2026 (250 total awards over the source data window). Only 21 awards worth $2.8 million combined reach ultimate completion within the next 24 months, indicating low recompete pressure in the near term and most of Invisio's major vehicles and definitive contracts extending into 2026–2027 or beyond. The 2025 Coast Guard $99 million boat crew system definitive contract carries a 10-year performance span (through September 2035), representing sustained revenue visibility.

In its subcontractor role, Invisio supplies communication kits and headset assemblies to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. (vehicle and personnel kits, intercom assemblies, cables — 12 sub-awards through November 2024), Booz Allen Hamilton (Distributable Battle Management Node Phase II, 2 sub-awards in 2025), Defense Systems and Solutions (UH-60V program production hardware kits, September 2025), and DRS Network & Imaging Systems LLC (headsets for VIC-3 systems, December 2025). Subcontract work represents 8% of awards and primarily supports military integration contracts where Invisio's headsets and communication assemblies are embedded in larger tactical systems.

The source indicates Invisio Communications Inc. as a manufacturer entity (not a services firm); the corporate structure carries SDB designation but no indication of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other additional set-asides. The company competes primarily in full-and-open procurements on MAS and Army IDVs, with occasional total small business set-asides on Marshals Service and DEA orders (sub-$400 thousand range). Obligated dollars ($93.2 million) represent 18% of combined potential value, typical for firms early in execution of large multi-year BPAs and definitive contracts. The award concentration in tactical communication headsets, cables, and secure radio accessories (128 awards under PSC Headsets, Handsets, Microphones and Speakers; 14 under Communications Security Equipment) reflects Invisio's niche specialization in mission-critical hearing protection and hands-free communication for high-noise, high-stakes operational environments.
