Microsemi Corp. - RF Signal Processing

Microsemi Corp. - RF Signal Processing, headquartered in Simsbury, Connecticut, manufactures RF/microwave components and precision electronic subsystems for defense applications, operating as a prime contractor (83% of recent awards) across full-and-open federal procurements with no set-aside posture. The company competes as a large for-profit semiconductor manufacturer and component supplier, registered in SAM since 2002, with NAICS concentration in other electronic component manufacturing and guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing.

Microsemi's customer concentration is heavily weighted to Army and Defense Logistics Agency programs. The top five funding entities account for 83% of awards and 97% of combined potential value: the Department of the Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (31 awards, $16.1 million combined potential value), the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal (8 awards, $14.4 million), the Department of the Army (17 awards, $1.3 million), Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (18 awards, $841 thousand), and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (1 award, $489 thousand). The tension between the two rankings is minimal — Army and DLA dominate both award count and dollar volume, anchored by PATRIOT Missile Weapon System spare parts and delay line components.

Representative prime work includes a $2.74 million firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded September 2024 by the Army Aviation and Missile Command for delay line components (NSN 5999-01-618-5016) with completion by April 30, 2027; a $2.35 million contract awarded June 2025 for delay line components (NSN 5999-01-618-4988) supporting PATRIOT, completing December 27, 2028; a $1.83 million contract from April 2024 for delay line components (NSN 5999-01-618-4984) completing June 28, 2026; and a $87,546 purchase order awarded January 2026 for band pass filters (NSN 5915015009992) from DLA Land and Maritime, completing January 22, 2027. Microsemi's product portfolio spans delay lines, band pass filters, multiplexers, and non-RF/microwave components, with performance of engineering services, supply chain management, and source inspection supporting the PATRIOT system and DLA spare parts requirements.

Vehicle position shows reliance on Army indefinite delivery contracts: Indefinite Delivery Contract W911N207D0020 carries 6 task orders valued at $5.9 million combined potential value; DAAH0102D0044 holds 5 task orders, $197 thousand; SPRBL115D0017 holds 4 task orders; DAAH0102D0041 holds 3 task orders; and DAAH0103D0032 holds 2 task orders, $1.1 million. These are agency-specific vehicles rather than government-wide GWACs or BPAs.

Activity is cyclical. The past five years show three awards in 2021, two in 2023, eight in 2024, four in 2025, and two in 2026 year-to-date. The combined potential value across 103 total awards is $34.3 million, with $32 million obligated (93% of the ceiling). Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $3.7 million — modest recompete exposure relative to the vendor's overall footprint.

Microsemi subcontracts primarily to Raytheon Company on PATRIOT-related delay line and filter work, with sub-awards dating back to 2021 and continuing through March 2026 across multiple variants of PATRIOT Performance Based Logistics and operational tempo spare parts; the vendor also delivered architecture and engineering services as a sub to Caci Technologies on C5ISR flight activity in July 2024 ($1.053 million task order). The subcontract portfolio reflects Microsemi's role as a specialized RF component supplier within larger prime defense industrial ecosystems rather than as a systems integrator.
