Keysight Technologies Inc.

Keysight Technologies Inc., a Colorado Springs-based subsidiary of Keysight Technologies, Inc., sells electronic test and measurement equipment, calibration and repair services, and specialized software to the federal government as a prime contractor (78% of recent awards) and subcontractor on defense and aerospace programs, competing without set-aside designations across full-and-open procurements.

Keysight Technologies Inc. is a manufacturer of goods that operates as a for-profit subsidiary of the parent Keysight Technologies, Inc. (Santa Rosa, California). The vendor competes predominantly on technical merit and specialized capabilities rather than through small business or socioeconomic set-asides; across the recent award portfolio, no set-aside designations appear on prime contract awards. The company's federal footprint centers on 1,222 prime awards (78% of 1,560 total prime and sub awards) valued at $383.5 million combined potential value across 98 distinct customer agencies. NAICS 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals) dominates the category concentration, accounting for 469 awards; PSC 6625 (Electrical and Electronic Properties Measuring and Testing Instruments) and PSC J066 (Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment—Instruments and Laboratory Equipment) together cover 485 awards. The vendor's core capability portfolio spans electronic test and measurement equipment procurement (spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, signal generators, oscilloscopes, power meters), calibration and repair services for sophisticated instrumentation, software licensing and renewal (Advanced Design System, PathWave, VA One, Code V optical design), and technical support for defense and aerospace research.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to Naval Sea Systems Command (259 awards, $31.6 million) and Naval Air Warfare Center (190 awards, $35.2 million), together accounting for 47% of award count but only 17% of combined potential value by the top-five customer count. The divergence between volume and dollars reflects a second customer base anchored by the Air Force Materiel Command's Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (41 awards, $127.3 million)—a $11.1 million delivery order issued March 20, 2026, for kits to assemble VDATs, and a $295.8 million delivery order issued March 25, 2026, for similar VDAT kit assembly work, together representing major procurement vehicles for military test equipment support. The Naval customer base drives high-volume, lower-value orders: Naval Supply Systems Command has issued 110 awards valued at $28.6 million (averaging roughly $260 thousand per order), while the broader Navy footprint reflects systematic procurement of calibration, repair, and equipment services across shipyards, warfare centers, and research commands.

Keysight maintains three active indefinite delivery vehicles: a $3.4 million single-award IDC with Naval Sea Systems Command for power range calibrators running through December 2029 (three delivery orders issued to date: $31.9 thousand, $1.0 million, and $659.7 thousand); a $233.3 thousand multiple-award IDIQ with Naval Sea Systems Command for calibration and repair at Norfolk Naval Shipyard through September 2027; and a $875 thousand single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command for calibration and repair services through September 2030, with a $175 thousand task order issued immediately upon award. The vendor also places substantial task orders under the Scientific Equipment and Services vehicle (170 task orders, $60.1 million combined potential value), an Air Force vehicle structured to support equipment procurement and support across logistics complexes. The recompete cliff shows 68 awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $29.8 million—a moderate recompete exposure concentrated in Naval and Air Force customer bases.

In its subcontractor role, Keysight delivers electronic test equipment, software, and calibration services to primes including Raytheon Company, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Leidos Inc., Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., Sierra Nevada Company LLC, Peraton Inc., and Amentum Services Inc. across defense R&D, systems sustainment, and weapons platform support programs. Named examples include a sub award to Northrop Grumman for conversion of low-power ceramic receiver (LPCR) RTP LRU instrument manufacturing (March 5, 2026); a sub award to Raytheon for unpriced order definitizable within 180 days supporting major assemblies and nonproduct services (February 25, 2026); and a sub award to Leidos for RDT&E of infrared/radio frequency systems for Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane (December 18, 2025). The vendor's sub engagement is minimal by SCI metrics—only 10 service contracts above the $150 thousand reporting threshold appear in the SCI dataset (3 prime, 7 sub), with zero invoiced revenue recorded across FY2022–FY2024 on prime SCI records and negligible FTE activity (0.2 FTEs in FY2024), indicating that SCI-reportable services represent a small portion of the vendor's federal work and that most federal revenue derives from product sales, equipment procurement delivery orders, and repair/calibration services falling below or outside the SCI threshold.

Recent representative prime awards span equipment sales, software renewals, and services. A $295.8 million delivery order from Air Force Materiel Command (March 25, 2026, under contract for VDAT kits); a $12.1 million delivery order from Army PEO CSCSS for 546 CM-523/U units and training media (March 5, 2026); a $1.58 million delivery order under Army contract W31P4Q23D0008 for microwave measuring receivers to PEO CSCSS (June 18, 2025); a $213.4 thousand sole-source purchase order from NIST for a Side Channel Analysis Precision Control System with electromagnetic probe, real-time oscilloscope (14 GHz bandwidth, 16 GS/s sampling), and signal acquisition software (July 22, 2025); and a $175.8 thousand sole-source purchase order from NIST for ADS and IQ data bandwidth software licenses supporting CHIPS R&D for on-wafer measurement capabilities (May 8, 2026). Software renewals include VA One vibroacoustics simulation licensing from NASA Shared Services Center ($81.0 thousand, July 2, 2025; $68.7 thousand, January 31, 2026); Code V optical design software from NASA ($109.7 thousand, March 21, 2026); and PathWave and KeysightCare subscriptions from Air Force Sustainment Center ($281.1 thousand, January 30, 2026).

Activity trajectory shows steady volume growth from 170 awards in 2022 to 325 in 2024, with 278 awards recorded in 2025 and 51 through September 28, 2026 (a partial-year sample). The vendor operates from Colorado Springs, Colorado, with subordinate facilities in Fremont, California (for Army test equipment delivery), Roseville, California (for Naval calibration and repair), and overseas locations (Singapore for Air Education and Training Command equipment delivery). The parent company, Keysight Technologies, Inc., is a leading global manufacturer of electronic design and test instrumentation that maintains a much larger federal and commercial footprint; the subsidiary Keysight Technologies Inc. renders itself as the federal contractor entity but operates within the parent's corporate and technical infrastructure.
