Nucell Communications Inc.

Nucell Communications Inc. is a minority-owned, woman-owned small business based in Helotes, Texas, competing as a prime contractor on small-dollar border security and communications infrastructure purchases for federal civilian agencies, with no subcontract footprint in the source data. The company operates predominantly in full-and-open competition with no set-aside designation on its largest recent awards; earlier work includes Woman-Owned Small Business and Total Small Business set-aside purchases.

Nucell's capability portfolio centers on border protection infrastructure and communications systems support — specifically tower relocation, surveillance system maintenance, security fencing installation, and site preparation work for remote video surveillance systems. Recent representative work includes a $227 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order awarded by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in March 2026 for additional fencing panels to support border protection infrastructure in Helotes, Texas; a $211 thousand award from the Federal Aviation Administration in May 2024 for RVSS-U security fencing for relocatable towers in the Freer, Texas area; and a $138 thousand FAA award in January 2024 supporting CBP border protection programs. Earlier work spans tower repair and repainting ($13.8 thousand), communications room upgrades ($15.8 thousand), and tower tubing repair ($14 thousand).

Customer concentration is tightly distributed across two divisions of the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration, which account for 100% of recent awards. FAA Non-Franchise Acquisition Services placed 2 awards worth $366 thousand combined, and FAA Franchise Acquisition Services placed 4 awards worth $279 thousand combined. The Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and FAA Headquarters each placed a single smaller award. All eight awards in the source data have been fully obligated. Award volume accelerated in 2024 with four purchases; activity then dropped to one award in the first quarter of 2026, following gaps in 2025.

Work is performed in Texas border regions — Helotes, Freer, Laredo, Cotulla, Moody, Falfurrias, and South Siding — with awards rooted in NAICS categories spanning power and communication line structures construction, site preparation, and tower maintenance. The vendor operates exclusively on small purchase orders, with individual contract ceilings ranging from $13.8 thousand to $227.5 thousand, and carries no parent vehicle or standing IDV seat.
