About the company
Photo-Sonics, Inc., a Chatsworth, California-based manufacturer of optical tracking systems, aerospace-grade imaging equipment, and audiovisual hardware, operates as a prime contractor (100% of awards in the recent footprint) serving the Department of Defense and Defense Logistics Agency on a full-and-open basis, with no set-aside posture. The company manufactures and supplies specialized camera equipment, television systems, video recorders, and associated components and repair services, with a secondary capability in optical positioning systems and head-up display cameras for military applications.
The vendor's customer concentration is heavily concentrated within the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, which anchors 59% of awards by count (91 awards, $13.5 million combined potential value) and 67% by potential-value share across the top-five customer set. The Department of the Air Force holds the second-largest position by award count (138 awards) but carries minimal potential value ($48 thousand), indicating a high-volume, low-dollar-per-order profile typical of small parts and consumables procurement. Smaller dollar concentrations appear with Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command (5 awards, $6.6 million) and Department of the Air Force Space Command (23 awards, $4.8 million). The vendor's total footprint spans 27 customer agencies across 622 awards since 1980.
Photo-Sonics holds a dominant position on the Naval Supply Systems Command Basic Ordering Agreement N0038321GZ301, a single-award IDIQ for noncommercial repair and associated supplies (camera equipment, televisions, video recorders, and parts and services) with ordering authority through May 2031. This BOA, awarded in May 2021 and renewed in May 2026, carries seven delivery orders with $1 million in combined potential value, with individual orders ranging from approximately $10,000 to $681,826. Additional vehicles include Air Force Basic Ordering Agreements F0470087D0011 (11 task orders) and Indefinite Delivery Contracts F0461190D0041 (8 task orders) and FA821205D0028 (7 task orders, $265 thousand combined potential value). Representative prime work includes a $681,826 delivery order for head-up display cameras issued by Naval Supply Systems Command on August 29, 2024, a $111,791 Air Force Ogden Air Logistics Complex purchase order for a television monitor on May 3, 2023, and a $109,950 Naval Supply Systems Command delivery order for camera and television equipment on September 13, 2023.
Activity has declined over the past three years — ten awards in 2021 declining to two in 2023 — with only six awards in 2024 and four in 2026. The recompete cliff carries minimal exposure, with only two awards (combined potential value $788 thousand) completing within the next twenty-four months. In subcontracting roles, Photo-Sonics delivers cockpit camera equipment to Lockheed Martin on F-16 production programs for Slovakia and Bahrain (May 2024 awards) and JMAS amplifier repair services to BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services on the Instrumentation Range Support Program III (August 2026). The vendor's category concentration spans aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing (46 awards), audio and video equipment manufacturing (21 awards), and photographic equipment manufacturing (20 awards), with photographic equipment and accessory PSC codes (129 awards) and motion picture cameras (89 awards) representing the dominant procurement categories. Photo-Sonics operates a subsidiary, Instrumentation Marketing Corporation, a veteran-owned business certified for contracts and grants.
