Techno-Sciences, LLC

Techno-Sciences, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Lanham, Maryland, manufactures and operates search-and-rescue satellite systems, local user terminals, phased array antennas, and mission control center infrastructure for federal space and maritime agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), competing on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations.

Techno-Sciences operates almost exclusively as a prime on specialized space and defense hardware and sustainment work, with zero subcontractor engagement across its SCI-reportable service contracts. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on Medium Earth Orbit and Low Earth Orbit local user terminal operations, COSPAS-SARSAT search-and-rescue satellite system hardware-software sustainment, phased array antenna procurement and operations, and mission control center integration. Recent awards include a $951,186.54 delivery order from NASA Goddard Space Center for MEOLUT, LEO/MEO channel, GEOLUT, and mission control center maintenance and sustainment (performance through March 31, 2027), a $3.36 million definitive contract from NOAA for procurement and ongoing operations of a Guam phased array antenna supporting SARSAT (running through September 22, 2027), a $14.1 million sole-source NOAA contract for MEOLUT operations, refurbishment, and new phased array antenna in Florida (through September 30, 2027), and a $377,804.84 delivery order from NASA Goddard for procurement of a TSI Reference Beacon and three SDR downconverters to replace legacy search-and-rescue equipment (completion September 30, 2027).

Customer concentration is split between NOAA (38 awards, $51.6 million combined potential value) and NASA Goddard Space Center (6 awards, $25 million), which together represent 84% of combined potential value across all awards. The U.S. Coast Guard (47 awards, $3.7 million), the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command (10 awards, $10.9 million), and Army acquisition commands (6 awards, $6.2 million) round out the active set. The vendor holds a $9.75 million single-award IDIQ with NASA Goddard Space Center (running through March 31, 2031) and operates under Coast Guard IDIQs carrying 36 task orders totaling $575 thousand in combined potential value. Work is classified across NAICS 334511 (Search and Detection Systems Manufacturing), engineering services, and R&D in physical and engineering sciences.

Activity has been episodic in recent years (three awards in 2020, two in 2021, one in 2022, then one in 2024 and three in 2026), with six awards (combined potential value $31.4 million) reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months. SCI-reportable invoicing totaled $4 million in FY2022 (1.4 FTEs), $6.1 million in FY2023 (4.2 FTEs), zero in FY2024, and $3.8 million in FY2025 (3.0 FTEs). Median government-paid hourly rates on federal services contracts ran $588.25 per hour, with senior labor pricing through $1,864.90 per hour and entry-level labor at $288.89 per hour. The vendor self-performed all reported hours across the SCI dataset with no named subcontractors.
