About the company
Palomar Products, Inc., a subsidiary of TransDigm Group Incorporated, manufactures high-precision electronic components and communication systems for defense aircraft as a prime contractor and subcontractor, competing full-and-open with no SBA set-asides. The company operates from Rancho Santa Margarita, California, and holds primary NAICS codes in search-and-navigation system manufacturing, aircraft parts, and communications equipment (codes 334511, 334417, 334419, 334290), with service delivery split 90% prime contracts and 10% subcontracts across 864 recent federal awards totaling $156 million in combined potential value.
Navy programs dominate Palomar's customer footprint. The Department of the Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command accounts for 402 awards ($51.8 million potential value) and represents 74% coverage of the top five customers by award count, followed by the Naval Air Systems Command (126 awards, $4.9 million) and Naval Sea Systems Command (11 awards, $13.8 million). However, the Air Force Materiel Command's Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex anchors the largest dollar concentration at 19 awards worth $57.9 million combined potential value—driven principally by Palomar's $44.5 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract for Palomar Secure Communications Systems (SCS) 3.0 sustainment, awarded March 17, 2023, with performance through June 16, 2028. The SCS 3.0 integrates digital audio and data signal distribution among aircrew members, ground personnel, and aircraft equipment across digital switching units (DSUs) and digital crew units (DCUs) supporting the Department of Defense's Contaminated Human Remains System program. The Coast Guard (31 awards, $5.3 million) provides secondary air-platform exposure through Digital Crew Unit spares and testing. Palomar operates under five primary parent vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract N0016408GWT34 (69 task orders, $6.8 million), Basic Ordering Agreement N0038321GX601 (63 task orders, $15.5 million), Basic Ordering Agreement N0010410GA104 (61 task orders, $1.3 million), and Indefinite Delivery Contract N0010405GA501 (36 task orders, $447 thousand) with NAVSUP.
Recent representative prime work includes a $2.45 million Coast Guard purchase order (September 2026) for 30 Digital Crew Unit spares for HC-130J aircraft operations, with sole-source justification based on proprietary specifications; a $708,560 Air Force delivery order for the Palomar SCS 3.0 1553 Diagnostic Tool (June 2026); a $1.36 million Navy definitive contract for Flight Deck Mission equipment (March 2024); and numerous Naval Supply Systems Command delivery orders for circuit card assemblies, mission audio panels, control panels, and jack box assemblies ranging from $6,415 to $1.6 million. Activity has grown from 19 awards in 2022 to a peak of 69 in 2024, with 33 awards in 2025 and 4 visible in 2026 year-to-date. Seventeen awards (combined potential value $15.6 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure.
As a subcontractor, Palomar supplies digital crew units, digital switching units, and communications suite components to Lockheed Martin (C-130J Five-Year Ordering Contracts, Foreign Military Sales sustainment, and long-term sustainment programs), The Boeing Company (P-8A aircraft training devices, engineering manufacturing development, and non-recurring engineering for platform upgrades), Northrop Grumman (P-3 aircraft maintenance and logistics support), and Sierra Nevada Company (MC-130J airborne mission networking kits and AFC-511 upgrade installations). Subcontract work emphasizes digital crew unit and switching unit supply and repair across military transport, maritime patrol, and special-operations platforms. The company's core expertise spans avionics integration, audio-frequency signal conditioning and distribution, communications switching, and flight-critical component manufacturing and repair for legacy and modern military aircraft fleets. As a subsidiary of TransDigm, Palomar competes as a full-and-open commercial supplier with no SBA certifications, positioning itself as a sole-source or single-qualified producer for specialized avionics components when government market research confirms proprietary design or manufacturing rights belong to Palomar.
