Jvckenwood USA Corporation

Jvckenwood USA Corporation, doing business as JVC USA Corp, supplies handheld and vehicle-mounted radios, encrypted communications equipment, projection systems, and related accessories to the Department of State and federal partners as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) in full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations. The company is a foreign-owned, for-profit electronics manufacturer headquartered in Lakewood, California, with SAM.gov registration dating to 2006 and primary NAICS concentration in radio and television broadcasting and wireless communications equipment manufacturing (NAICS 334220).

Jvckenwood's customer footprint is heavily State Department–concentrated. The top five funding agencies, all State Department bureaus, account for 60% of awards by count. However, the value ranking diverges meaningfully from volume: the Bureau of Information Resource Management dominates potential value at $126.8 million across 80 awards, while the Bureau of African Affairs leads by award count (331 awards, $6.6 million) and the Bureau of Diplomatic Security ranks second in both count (328 awards) and value ($10.4 million). The U.S. Agency for International Development and Air Force Materiel Command represent secondary customers. Recent representative prime work includes a $15,164.10 purchase order from the Bureau of Diplomatic Security for Kenwood Radio TK-5320 accessories to support the Long Beach facility (April 2026), a $139,050 sole-source purchase order from NASA's Shared Services Center for a JVC DLA-VS8000 Native 8K visualization projector to support Kennedy Space Center operations (September 2025), a $202,035.80 purchase order from USAID Nigeria for handheld and vehicle-mounted radio sets (September 2022), and a $102,120.71 purchase order from the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs for radios and communications equipment (September 2021).

Jvckenwood operates primarily through two dominant parent vehicles: the Federal Supply Schedule GS35F0485T, which carries 244 task orders worth $511 million in combined potential value, and an Indefinite Delivery Contract SAQMMA13D0125 with 939 task orders valued at $47.2 million. An additional Indefinite Delivery Contract (SAQMPD07D0045) supports 134 task orders worth $19.7 million. Awards are concentrated in procurement of radio and television communication equipment (613 awards), communications security equipment and components (272 awards), and airborne radio and television communication equipment (215 awards).

Activity has been volatile in recent years — 11 awards in 2022, dropping to 2 in 2023, then rising to 12 in 2025, with 1 award recorded in 2026 to date. The company's subcontractor role, representing 1% of recent awards, includes supply of projector assemblies, optical modules, and lens components to CAE USA Inc. on F-16 training simulator programs (multiple awards through December 2025), projector systems to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation on the Combat Rescue Helicopter program (awards through January 2025), and optical components to The Boeing Company on F-15 foreign military sales programs for Japan and Qatar (awards through September 2024). Jvckenwood's prime portfolio emphasizes communications equipment for diplomatic security operations across multiple global regions; its subcontractor engagement centers on precision optics and projection components for defense training and aircraft programs.
