Mu-Del Electronics LLC

Mu-Del Electronics LLC, doing business as American Microwave Corporation, manufactures advanced radio frequency and microwave electronic components for federal agencies as a prime contractor (81% of recent awards) and subcontractor to major defense primes. The company is a small business limited liability company headquartered in Manassas, Virginia, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations, though two total small business set-aside awards appear in recent history. The vendor has been registered in federal procurement systems since 2001.

Mu-Del's federal customer base is heavily concentrated with the Federal Aviation Administration, which accounts for 44 awards valued at $82.2 million combined potential value—88% of the vendor's total federal footprint. The Department of the Navy and the Department of Commerce (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) are secondary customers but carry much smaller dollar values. This concentration reflects Mu-Del's primary mission: manufacturing receiver selectors, down converters, up converters, RF power calibrators, multicouplers, antenna systems, RF amplifiers, and radar set subassemblies that support the National Airspace System and military communications infrastructure. Representative prime awards include a $405.2 million purchase order from the FAA for eighty RF power calibrators for Terminal Doppler Weather Radar transmitter assemblies (Nov 26, 2024, ultimate completion Apr 25, 2025), a $648.9 million total small business set-aside definitive contract from NOAA for antenna frequency converters to replace units at Wallops Command and ground stations (Sep 3, 2021, ultimately completed Sep 15, 2022), and a $307.9 million firm fixed-price purchase order from the Navy's Naval Air Warfare Center for dual-independent down converter units (Nov 14, 2023, ultimate completion Apr 1, 2024).

Mu-Del places significant work under two parent vehicles: an FAA Indefinite Delivery Contract (DTFAWA07D00022) with 15 task orders valued at $55.5 million, and the SBA One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS+) Small Business vehicle with 15 task orders. A Navy Basic Ordering Agreement (N0038322GST01) carries 6 task orders, and an Indefinite Delivery Contract (N0001923D0008) carries 5 task orders. The vendor holds a seat on an Army IDC (693KA818D00023) with 3 task orders valued at $10.2 million. Activity has grown from 10 awards in 2022 to 27 in 2024, with 18 awards recorded in 2025 and 3 in the first weeks of 2026; only one award with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months ($13 thousand potential value) signals minimal recompete pressure near-term.

Mu-Del delivers RF and microwave components to major defense primes including L3Harris Technologies, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Raytheon Company, Argon ST Inc., Peraton Inc., BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services Inc., CACI Inc. Federal, Assurance Technology Corp, and HII Mission Technologies Corp. Recent sub work includes RF distribution units and motherboards for Argon ST's MISD low-band hardware (Jan 9, 2026), aircraft antenna engineering services to Raytheon (Oct 28, 2025), LEO ground sustainment services supporting the Joint Polar Satellite System Common Ground System to Peraton (Aug 7, 2025), and multicoupler and dual-channel equipment for BAE Systems' Instrumentation Range Support Program III (May 20, 2025). Subcontract work centers on specialized RF components—down converters, up converters, RF distribution units, amplifier assemblies, and antenna systems—for space communications, satellite operations, military radar, and airborne systems integration.

The combined potential value across all 262 awards (prime and sub) is $93.3 million, with $58.9 million obligated as of the source date. NAICS concentration centers on Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (90 awards) and Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing (49 awards), with PSC concentration in Radio And Television Communication Equipment, Except Airborne (55 awards) and Miscellaneous Communication Equipment (41 awards).
