About the company
Merakai, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Santa Barbara, California, manufactures and sells radio frequency shielding equipment—Faraday bags, cell phone lockers, digital forensic analysis enclosures, and Mission Darkness BlackBox Lab systems—to federal law enforcement and military agencies entirely as a prime contractor on purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts, with no subcontractor footprint in recent awards.
Merakai operates through its Mos Equipment Division and competes across a mix of Total Small Business set-asides and full-and-open procurements. The company does not hold SBA 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB certifications; it qualifies as a small business under the NAICS codes driving its federal work, including Textile Bag and Canvas Mills (314910), Showcase, Partition, Shelving, and Locker Manufacturing (337215), and Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing (334119). Total Small Business set-asides account for approximately half of recent awards by count; the remainder compete full-and-open, primarily through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and the company's Secret Service indefinite delivery contract.
Customer concentration is dominated by Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Secret Service, which anchors 95% of combined potential value across recent awards through a $5.971 million single-award indefinite delivery contract (awarded August 20, 2025, running through August 19, 2030) for Mission Darkness BlackBox Lab XL equipment. Two delivery orders totaling $793 thousand have been placed against this IDC. The Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration drives volume (9 awards) but at lower per-order magnitude ($112 thousand combined potential value), placing repeated small purchase orders for Faraday bags, digital forensic lockers, and data blocker equipment. The Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division, Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Unit, Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Command, and U.S. Marshals Service Investigative Operations Division round out the active customer set. Merakai also holds a GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract (potential value $500 thousand) from which the company has placed task orders with the DEA, IRS, and FBI.
Recent activity has grown from one award in 2022 to a peak of eight in 2025, with five awards so far in 2026 (as of late September). The company's combined potential value sits at $8.4 million across 29 prime awards, with $1.9 million obligated (23% of potential). Three awards are scheduled for ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, representing $363 thousand in combined potential value and recompete exposure. The most recent award is a September 30, 2026 purchase order from the DEA for a drone Faraday tent ($24.847 thousand, due September 30, 2026); other September 2026 awards include a $69.058 thousand Total Small Business set-aside from the U.S. Marshals Service for Faraday bags and digital forensic enclosures (completion September 29, 2027) and a $22.578 thousand Total Small Business set-aside from the FBI for one Faraday tent (completion January 22, 2027).
SCI reporting shows minimal footprint: the Service Contract Inventory dataset captures 0.5 FTEs in FY2025, all as a named subcontractor, indicating Merakai's federal work is predominantly goods procurement rather than labor-hour services. The vendor operates as a manufacturer and equipment supplier, not a services prime, and does not appear in SCI's prime-services universe.
