R.a. Miller Industries, Inc.

R.A. Miller Industries, Inc., doing business as R A Miller Industries Inc., is a small business manufacturer of antennas, antenna elements, feedcone assemblies, antenna adapters, electrical caps, and related electronic components for military communications systems, operating as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) predominantly under total small business set-asides with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime. Headquartered in Grand Haven, Michigan, the company is a Subchapter S Corporation classified under NAICS 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing), competing across both set-aside and full-and-open vehicles with particular strength in small-business-reserved procurements for antenna and antenna-related products.

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime dominates R.A. Miller's customer base—1,065 awards carrying $214.2 million in combined potential value represent 71% of recent award count. The Department of the Army Materiel Command's Communications Electronics Command (40 awards, $65.8 million) and Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground (33 awards, $82.1 million) anchor the remainder of the Army relationship, while the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons (37 awards, $90 thousand) represents minor diversification. When ranked by dollar value, the concentration tightens: DLA Land and Maritime (43.8% of all potential value) is followed by Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground and CECOM, together accounting for 85% of the source-tracked footprint. The vendor's award velocity has declined sharply—from 98 awards in 2023 to 16 in the first quarter of 2026—signaling either pipeline thinning or a shift toward larger, longer-duration task orders.

R.A. Miller holds a substantial portfolio of single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime spanning antenna systems, feedcone assemblies, antenna elements, and support bases. Recent IDVs include a $9.97 million total small business set-aside for antennas (awarded July 2024, ceiling through July 2029), an $8.37 million antenna contract (awarded July 2025, ceiling through July 2030), a $5.54 million antenna IDIQ (awarded October 2025, ceiling through October 2028), and a $1.99 million antenna contract (awarded February 2026, ceiling through February 2031). Smaller vehicles—$1.99 million (feedcone assemblies, August 2024 award), $931.5 thousand (antenna systems, May 2025 award), and multiple $350 thousand total small business set-asides (most recent December 2025)—round out the active portfolio. Delivery orders issued under these vehicles in 2024–2026 have ranged from under $2 thousand to $1.23 million, with firm fixed-price pricing predominant. The Army Communications Electronics Command maintains a $9.72 million single-award IDV for antenna long manpack assemblies supporting the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical Increment 1 (WIN-T INC 1) Major Defense Acquisition Program, with at least $1.89 million in delivery orders obligated as of mid-2024.

R.A. Miller's capability portfolio centers on antenna manufacturing and related electronic components for military communications infrastructure. Representative prime work includes a $638,720 delivery order (DLA Land and Maritime, October 2025, antenna products, firm fixed price, completion March 2026); a $759.5 thousand total small business set-aside purchase order (DLA Land and Maritime, May 2025, 1,000 units of NSN 5985014980332 antenna); a $1.225 million delivery order from the Army Communications Electronics Command (August 2023, 7,349 units of NSN 5895-01-425-7305 antenna long manpack assemblies for WIN-T INC 1, completion November 2025); and a $666.4 thousand delivery order (Army Communications Electronics Command, May 2024, antenna long manpack assemblies for WIN-T INC 1, completion May 2026). Smaller routine orders for antenna elements ($64.9 thousand, October 2025), feedcone assemblies ($182.5 thousand, June 2024), antenna support bases ($124 thousand, June 2024), and antenna subassemblies ($75.5 thousand, April 2024) are typical across the DLA Land and Maritime portfolio. The vendor also supplies foreign military sales and humanitarian aid, with Ukraine-focused awards for antenna components, cable assemblies, and antenna-support equipment appearing in 2023–2024.

In its subcontractor role, R.A. Miller supplies antenna components to BAE Systems Land & Armaments on Bradley A4 and self-propelled howitzer production efforts; to Thales Defense & Security for antenna component deliveries; and to Lockheed Martin for A4 Sentinel engineering services involving omni-directional antenna work at 1030–1090 MHz. The subcontract footprint is minimal (17 sub-awards, 1% of total) and recent, with most sub-work dating to 2024–2025, indicating a shift or expansion into prime-tier platforms rather than endemic subcontracting relationships.

R.A. Miller competes predominantly under total small business set-asides, though full-and-open delivery orders against established IDVs and HUBZone-eligible solicitations also appear regularly in the award record. The vendor's set-aside posture is consistent across the prime footprint—nearly all DLA Land and Maritime IDVs and most task orders carry either total small business or no-set-aside designations, with fewer than 5% of awards recorded as 8(a) set-asides or other socioeconomic categories. Nine awards with ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and combined potential value of $720 thousand represent modest recompete exposure, though the underlying IDV ceilings—several in the multi-million-dollar range extending through 2029–2031—suggest stable long-term vehicle positions absent procurement cancellation or consolidation.
