Q-Tech Corp

Q-Tech Corp, a woman-owned small business manufacturer of high-reliability crystal oscillators based in Cypress, California, supplies precision electronic components to defense agencies as a prime contractor (18% of awards) and primarily as a subcontractor (82%) to major defense primes. The company operates under NAICS 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing) and competes on full-and-open basis without set-aside designation across its federal footprint.

Q-Tech's core capability is the design and manufacture of commercial-grade and mil-spec crystal oscillators across varying frequencies—predominantly 10.000 MHz units for communications and defense applications. Representative prime work includes a $558,117 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command awarded May 8, 2023, for crystal oscillators supporting critical defense communications infrastructure; a $162,170 sole-source procurement from NIWC Pacific in September 2025 for piezoelectric crystal oscillators serving the Minuteman Minimum Essential Emergency Communications Network (MEECN) Materials and Manufacturing Processes effort; and a $85,568 purchase order from NIWC in July 2026 for six units of commercial crystal oscillators (part number QT2002F-10.000). The Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service awarded a $67,922 sole-source purchase order in May 2024 for 10.000 MHz crystal oscillators with completion scheduled for April 30, 2026. Sole-source designations recur across prime awards, reflecting Q-Tech's established sole-source status as a specialized oscillator supplier to the federal defense sector.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to defense, with the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command accounting for 5 awards and $861 thousand in combined potential value (the only customer with quantified potential-value figures in the top ranking). The Department of the Air Force Space Command Space and Missile Systems Center (7 awards), the Department of Defense Missile Defense Agency (4 awards), and the Department of the Air Force (3 awards) comprise the remainder of the top tier, together representing 64% of recent awards. The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command dominates both volume and dollars; Air Force DFAS holds secondary potential-value concentration at $68 thousand. Across all 33 awards in the source data, Q-Tech has engaged 16 distinct customer agencies.

In its subcontractor role, Q-Tech supplies crystal oscillators and electronic components to Raytheon Company (eight sub awards including AMRAAM missile production and airborne radar systems), Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (six sub awards supporting next-generation overhead persistent infrared satellites, evolved strategic satcom satellite payloads, and advanced upper-stage rocket development), Lockheed Martin Corporation (two sub awards for PATRIOT Advanced Capability-3 missile production), General Dynamics Mission Systems Inc., L3Harris Technologies, Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation, BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems, The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, and Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. Q-Tech supplies specialized oscillators, RF/microwave devices, and flight-qualified electronic components across missile systems, satellite communications, surveillance platforms, and aerospace vehicle guidance applications.

Activity has grown from three awards in 2022 to eleven in 2025, with three awards recorded in 2026 (as of August). Combined potential value across all awards totals $929 thousand, though combined dollars obligated reach $3.6 million (386% of potential value), indicating significant task order generation or contract modifications against standing purchase orders. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $86 thousand), minimizing near-term recompete exposure. Q-Tech places work under the Flexible Information Assurance Acquisition Tool (2 task orders), an Indefinite Delivery Contract issued by NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, and basic ordering agreements within the Space Force and Air Force contracting framework.
