About the company
Kelvin Hughes LLC, doing business as Hensoldt North America, is a foreign-owned defense contractor based in Bethesda, Maryland that manufactures identification-friend-or-foe transponders, radar systems, and armored-vehicle components for the Department of the Army, Navy, and Transportation agencies, operating as both a prime contractor (53% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor (47%) to major defense primes. The vendor competes in full-and-open procurements without set-aside restrictions.
The company's capability portfolio centers on military radar and identification systems, armored-vehicle engineering and manufacturing, and related defense electronics. Recent prime work includes a $290,568 firm fixed price contract awarded by the Army's Communications Electronics Command in December 2025 to procure two Identification Friend or Foe Mode 5 transponders for Slovenia under a Foreign Military Sales case, with completion scheduled for January 2027. Across its subcontractor footprint, Kelvin Hughes performs engineering services and supplies components on the M1 Abrams Family of Vehicles program under General Dynamics Land Systems (six sub awards across 2023–2024 for design support, production support, and a no-cost period-of-performance extension on SEP Version 3 tank production for Poland), and supplies instrumentation and cooling equipment to BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services on the Instrumentation Range Support Program III.
Customer concentration reflects heavy Army and Navy exposure. The top five funding offices account for 65% of awards by count, led by the Army's PEO Ground Combat Systems (5 awards), the Navy's Office of Naval Research (2 awards, $414 thousand combined potential value), and the Navy's Naval Air Warfare Center (2 awards, $8 thousand combined potential value). By dollar value, the Navy's Office of Naval Research anchors the top tier at $414 thousand, followed by the Army's Communications Electronics Command at $291 thousand and the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command at $249 thousand — a distribution that underscores the vendor's specialization in Navy systems and Army vehicle platforms rather than diversified customer base.
Kelvin Hughes places task orders under two indefinite delivery contracts: the Army's W56HZV21D0001 (5 task orders) and the Air Force's FA252120D0005 (1 task order). Activity accelerated sharply in 2024 with seven awards following single-award years in 2017, 2020, and 2023. One award (the Army FMS contract at $291 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor's categorization tilts toward Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing (7 awards) and Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (6 awards), with PSC concentration in radar equipment and miscellaneous ship and marine equipment.
