Motorola Solutions, Inc.

Motorola Solutions, Inc. manufactures land mobile radio systems, communications infrastructure, software platforms, emergency notification systems, and related accessories for federal agencies worldwide as a prime contractor on a portfolio of 4,140 awards (99% of its federal footprint) with no SBA set-asides. The company competes full-and-open across civilian, law enforcement, and defense customer bases and operates as a subsidiary to Motorola Inc., with related subsidiaries including Symbol Technologies, Vigilant Solutions LLC, and Spillman Technologies, Inc.

Motorola's federal capability portfolio centers on mission-critical radio communications and network infrastructure. Representative prime work includes a $37.4 million definitive contract with Navy Installations Command for ELMR sustainment support (labor and commercial service products), a $7.4 million Air Force Sustainment Center order for replacement overhaul of eight non-compliant land mobile radio trunking systems at Hill Air Force Base, Utah Test and Training Range, and Little Mountain Test Facility, and a $1.82 million Air Force delivery order for MODE 7 survey and geolocation capability on Firestorm application implemented on modular payload-compliant hardware platform. Emergency notification systems form a secondary capability stream: the company holds renewal contracts valued at $278,146 with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for ENS/VESTA Communicator maintenance through 2027 and $200,061 with the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys for ENS/ALERTUS renewal through 2027. Motorola also supplies printed circuit board fabrication services to Naval Sea Systems Command under a $7.5 million BPA awarded November 2024 with completion through November 2029. The vendor recently achieved award on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ with Missile Defense Agency, effective December 29, 2025, with a multi-billion-dollar ceiling through December 28, 2035; an initial $500 task order has been issued.

Customer concentration is extreme and anchored by a single large IDV vehicle. The Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division accounts for 269 awards and $14.29 billion in combined potential value — approximately 80% of the vendor's total federal potential value across all 130 customer agencies. The Department of the Army ranks second by award count (866 awards, $352 thousand potential value) but dollars are negligible; the Department of Air Force places 731 awards ($2.1 million potential value). The top five funding agencies by potential value are FBI Headquarters Division ($14.29 billion), Army Space and Missile Defense Command ($62.7 million), Justice Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ($6.8 million), Justice US Marshals Service Tactical Operations Division ($2.6 million), and United States Special Operations Command ($2.5 million). This concentration structure reflects the FBI's dominant position: Motorola holds a parent IDV contract (DJFJFBI08276) with FBI Headquarters Division carrying 434 task orders and $17.51 billion in combined potential value. A second large FBI vehicle (JFBI95154) carries 334 task orders. A GSA Multiple Award Schedule (GS00K90AGS0703) hosts 285 task orders valued at $22 thousand. The vendor also operates under a U.S. Marshals Service BPA valued at $55,000 (single award, issued March 2023, expired March 2024) for radio repairs and upgrades.

Activity has contracted from a recent peak. Annual award volume declined from 28 in 2023 to 14 in 2026 (most recent fiscal year shown). The recompete cliff shows nine awards (combined potential value $10.6 million) with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing modest near-term recompete exposure relative to the $17.96 billion total portfolio. Obligated dollars across all awards total $763.7 million, representing 4 percent of combined potential value and indicating a significant portion of the portfolio remains unexercised.

SCI-reported service contract invoicing totaled $55.4 million across FY2022 and FY2023 (the most recent years with data), averaging $27.5 million to $27.8 million annually, with deliveries averaging 40.9 to 43.6 FTEs on federal service work in those years. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid median hourly rates ran approximately $315.73/hr, with rates spanning $308.45/hr at the 10th percentile to $323.01/hr at the 90th percentile, consistent with mid-level engineering and systems integration labor. SCI records show zero average sub-hours share across prime contracts, indicating the vendor builds delivery capacity internally rather than through subcontractor reliance on these particular vehicles.

Motorola subcontracts to prime contractors on specialized defense programs. The vendor supplies telecommunications equipment to CACI NSS LLC on Special Operations Forces Emerging Threats Operations and Planning Support work, engineering services to Assured Information Security Inc. on TENSHU and STALWART programs, SPEAR 2 equipment to Lockheed Martin Corporation on foreign military sales funding, electrical sub-assemblies to CACI Inc. Federal on operations and maintenance labor tasking, software and accessories to Lockheed Martin on operational logistics support, command-and-control capabilities to Smartronix LLC for USSOCOM Pacific missions, and software laptops to Lockheed Martin for electronic countermeasures and chemical-biological-radiological-nuclear logistics support. Additionally, Motorola supplies equipment and services to Red Peak Technical Services LLC for Electronic Security and Control system maintenance at Naval Consolidated BRIG and to V2X Systems LLC for ARCENT Battle Language Services. These sub relationships position Motorola as a materials and equipment supplier to systems integrators and prime service contractors rather than a service delivery subcontractor.

Motorola competes in full-and-open procurement across federal space with no set-aside footprint, reflecting the company's size and capitalization. The vendor's position on major FBI and GSA vehicles, combined with the SHIELD award, establishes access to enterprise-scale task order mechanisms. Recent awards span civilian agencies (Department of State, Department of the Interior, Veterans Affairs, FBI, ATF, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Marshals Service) and defense platforms (Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, Army, Space and Missile Defense Command, Special Operations Command). Place of performance is primarily concentrated in Chicago, Illinois and Hoffman Estates, Illinois (headquarters region), with select work at Dahlgren, Virginia (Naval Surface Warfare Center), Hill Air Force Base, Utah, and San Diego, California (Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific).
