R2Sonic, LLC

R2Sonic, LLC (doing business as R2 Sonic), a for-profit limited liability company and manufacturer of underwater acoustic products headquartered in Austin, Texas, sells wideband multibeam echo-sounder systems, sonar equipment, and repair services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders with no set-aside designations.

R2Sonic's capability portfolio centers on multibeam sonar technology and related underwater acoustic instrumentation. The company manufactures the R2Sonic 2024-V and 2020-V Plus wideband multibeam echo-sounder systems, integrated inertial navigation systems, and related mounting hardware, and provides repair and spare-parts services for its own equipment. Representative recent work includes a $145,400 firm fixed-price purchase order from NOAA awarded August 10, 2026, for an R2Sonic 2020-V Plus system with integrated RTK navigation, OTC mount, and GNSS mast for the Center of Excellence for Operational Ocean and Great Lakes Mapping's hydrographic training operations—R2Sonic held sole-source authority under FAR 6.103-1 as the only manufacturer meeting NOAA's dual constraints of sub-4.4-kilogram weight and sub-20-watt average power draw for uncrewed platform installation. Other recent examples include a $129,735 purchase order from the Defense Logistics Agency (ENDIST Tulsa) in May 2026 for one SONIC 2024-V system, and repair orders from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ranging from $19,585 (multibeam unit repair, May 2026) to $53,903 (R2Sonic 2024 sonar equipment repair services, January 2024).

Customer concentration is split between NOAA and Army Corps of Engineers regional districts. The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration leads both by award count (10 awards, $983 thousand combined potential value) and represents 44% of R2Sonic's recent customer base by volume. The Army Corps of Engineers operates through multiple district contracting offices—the Engineering Districts at Galveston, St. Louis, Seattle, and Buffalo collectively hold $2.167 million of the company's $6.7 million in combined potential value. The top five customer entities account for 44% of awards and 47% of combined potential value; across 70 prime awards, R2Sonic serves 25 distinct federal agencies.

R2Sonic places 28 task orders under the Federal Supply Schedule GS07F0414W (General Services Administration schedule), generating $3.2 million in combined potential value—the only named parent vehicle in the portfolio. The vendor competes exclusively through full-and-open purchase orders; no set-aside, GWAC, IDIQ, or BPA activity appears in the award history.

Activity has remained sparse and episodic over the past five years: two awards in 2021, one in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, and three in 2026. The vendor's first federal award in the source data dates to May 2006. Within the next twenty-four months, one award ($145 thousand potential value) reaches completion, creating minimal recompete exposure. NAICS classification reflects the underlying product mix: 33 awards fall under Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring and Controlling Industrial Process Variables, and 27 awards under Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing. R2Sonic has no subcontract footprint and operates as a sole proprietor in its federal business.
