R Cubed Engineering LLC

R Cubed Engineering LLC, doing business as R3E, is a woman-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Palmetto, Florida, that specializes in advanced research and development for military aviation technologies. The company, registered in SAM.gov since October 2008, focuses on aviation electronics, communications systems, avionics, and electronic systems integration. R3E leverages expertise in software-defined radios, multifunctional avionics, and specialized military electronic systems to support the modernization initiatives of federal agencies, particularly the Department of the Navy.

R Cubed Engineering has secured substantial federal contract awards totaling over $52 million across multiple SBIR Phase II and Phase III contracts, with the Naval Air Warfare Center serving as its primary customer. The company's contract portfolio includes ten prime federal contract awards spanning from 2021 to 2025, with the most recent and significant awards being two SBIR Phase III delivery orders valued at $23.1 million (awarded September 26, 2024) and $7.01 million (awarded September 22, 2025), both designated as Total Small Business set-asides or firm fixed-price arrangements. Additional prime contracts include SBIR Phase III awards of $12.86 million (September 25, 2024), $6.22 million (September 13, 2024), and $6.68 million (September 21, 2022), along with historical Phase II and Phase III contracts from the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command valued at $1.1 million. Beyond Navy work, R3E received a $53,058 purchase order from Air Force Materiel Command in August 2024 for a portable Mode 5 transponder and GPS data services. The company has also served as a subcontractor on multiple contracts with Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. and Textron Systems Corporation, providing materials and engineering support related to its core competencies in military electronics and communications systems. Most of R3E's contract work carries either Total Small Business or no set-aside designations, reflecting its competitive positioning as both a small business and woman-owned firm.

R Cubed Engineering holds a single-award Basic Ordering Agreement with the Naval Air Warfare Center, established as an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract vehicle on July 5, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of July 4, 2027. Though the BOA itself carries a $0 ceiling value, it serves as the parent vehicle for multiple task orders with a combined ceiling value of $47.86 million, substantially representing the bulk of R3E's federal contract revenue. This BOA enables the Naval Air Warfare Center to efficiently procure R3E's specialized research and development services across the Navy's aviation programs on an as-needed basis. Task orders issued under the BOA are designated for SBIR Phase III research and development, focusing on advanced aviation electronics, communications systems, avionics integration, and electronic systems development. The work performed under this vehicle is primarily conducted in Palmetto, Florida, and most task orders carry Total Small Business set-aside designations, aligning with the SBIR program's mandate to foster small business participation in federal research and development initiatives. The consistent utilization of this BOA over the past three years underscores R3E's established relationship with the Navy and its demonstrated capability to deliver innovative technologies critical to naval aviation modernization and aircraft development programs.
