Christopher Hoaglin

Christopher Hoaglin, doing business as Embedded Engineering, provides specialized repair and reconditioning of electronic test equipment, weather monitoring systems, and printed circuit boards to federal agencies as a small business prime contractor, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides. The Massachusetts-based sole proprietorship, headquartered in Middleton with operations noted across Woburn and Grandview, Missouri, manufactures goods and delivers maintenance services under primary NAICS codes 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance), with secondary activity in electronic computer manufacturing and precision instrument manufacturing.

Embedded Engineering's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in NOAA weather infrastructure repair. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration accounts for 126 of 142 total awards (89% of volume) and $4.9 million of the $6.2 million combined potential value across the portfolio. Representative NOAA work includes a $2.75 million multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement running through September 2030 for repair and reconditioning of Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) and Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) components—Advanced Communication Unit processors, Synergy processors, CPU boards, modem racks, optical detectors and transmitters, and aspirator housing units. Recent task orders against this BPA include a $59,925 call order (August 2026) for ACU processor repairs, a $7,840 call order (August 2026) for visibility day-night sensor repairs, and a $217,350 call order (September 2025) for repair and reconditioning across multiple SOWs. Other NOAA work includes total small business set-aside purchase orders for repair and calibration of electronic test equipment ($45,525, September 2026), painting and reconditioning of freezing rain sensor units ($18,360, August 2026), and repair and calibration of IFR communication monitors and spectrum analyzers ($24,660, August 2026).

The Department of the Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command represents the second customer, with nine awards totaling $1.2 million for printed circuit board work. Representative awards include a $215,955 purchase order (April 2026) and an $89,975 purchase order (April 2026) for printed circuit board manufacturing, both performed in Middleton. The Defense Logistics Agency, Smithsonian Institution, Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, and the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center account for the remaining activity at sub-$100 thousand volume.

Embedded Engineering holds two active parent Blanket Purchase Agreements: BPA 1305M220ANWWG0075 (15 task orders, $202 thousand combined potential value) and the newer BPA 1305M225A0013 (3 task orders, $285 thousand combined potential value), both NOAA vehicles. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. Activity has declined from 14 awards in 2022 to 4 in 2024 and 7 in 2025, with 9 awards (combined potential value $521 thousand) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. All work is performed as firm fixed-price contracts. The vendor carries no named SBA certifications beyond the total small business set-aside designation that recurs across the NOAA contract portfolio.
