Radome Services LLC

Radome Services LLC, doing business as Outpost Mission Services, provides inspection, maintenance, repair, and engineering services for radar radomes — protective enclosures for weather and defense radar systems — as a prime contractor (77% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to major defense primes. The vendor is a woman-owned small business headquartered in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, operating as a limited liability company subsidiary of Washington Harbour Ground Services, Inc. Radome Services competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on its largest contract vehicle and across a mix of set-aside and full-and-open task orders on smaller orders.

Customer concentration is extreme. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration accounts for 87% of awards by count and 92% of combined potential value across the vendor's portfolio ($34.6 million of $37.5 million total). Within NOAA, the National Weather Service's Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD) WSR-88D radome maintenance represents the anchor workstream — Radome Services holds a $9.999 million indefinite delivery contract (single-award, total small business set-aside, running through August 2027) that has spawned 17 task orders valued at $6.9 million combined. Beyond NOAA, the Department of the Navy Office of Naval Research has placed three awards ($484 thousand combined) for radome maintenance at Portsmouth and Guam, and the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Electronic Systems Center has placed one award ($2.3 million) for equipment repair. The vendor's customer portfolio spans 14 agencies, but NOAA's dominance creates recompete concentration: only three awards (combined potential value $1.9 million) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, leaving the vendor's pipeline dependent on continuation or recompete of the NOAA IDC and related task orders.

On the NOAA indefinite delivery vehicle and related task orders, recent representative work includes a $1.78 million delivery order (awarded September 2025) for NEXRAD WSR-88D radome inspection, engineering evaluation, and repair services across five National Weather Service sites and ten NWS locations; a $1.27 million delivery order (awarded August 2024) for radome repairs, maintenance, and inspections at eleven NWS sites nationwide; and a $847 thousand delivery order (awarded September 2024) for radome replacement, maintenance, and inspections throughout the United States. Outside the NOAA vehicle, Radome Services delivered a $228 thousand purchase order for radome maintenance to the Office of Naval Research (April 2025) and a $112 thousand purchase order for radome maintenance on an L3-ESSCO M68 and M96 Modular Surveillance Facility Radar in Guam (awarded October 2024). Work is performed at radome sites nationwide, with administrative performance in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

The vendor operates primarily as a prime delivering its own technical workforce. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts in FY2024, Radome Services invoiced $312 thousand and deployed roughly 3.8 FTEs, with zero sub-hours share — indicating internal labor delivery. Government-paid hourly rates on those contracts median around $136/hr, with senior labor pricing through $157/hr and entry-level labor at $109/hr. The modest FY2024 SCI footprint reflects the vendor's reliance on firm fixed-price delivery orders rather than labor-hour or time-and-materials contracts; SCI captures only service contracts above $150,000 and excludes the micro-purchase and small fixed-price work that dominates the award list.

In its subcontractor role, Radome Services supplies radome repair, maintenance, and installation labor to major defense and space primes. Named sub-award relationships include Range Generation Next LLC (radome maintenance for a 5-meter radome under STS contract work, May 2025), Lockheed Martin Services LLC (radome sustainment labor and materials on operations-year work, multiple awards 2024–2025), L3Harris Interstate Electronics Corporation (radome repair services under an Electronic Warfare Threat Systems contract, August 2023), Peraton Inc. (radome dismantling and installation services under the Space Communications and Navigation (SCAN) program at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, December 2023 and April 2026), and IAP World Services Inc. (satellite communications sustainment with radome repairs, labor, and materials, April 2025). The vendor has also subcontracted to Valkyrie Enterprises LLC (operational and repair services for MIT Lincoln Laboratory research and development, 2024), Leidos Inc. (electronic warfare threat systems support, November 2023), and Sigma Defense Systems LLC (INDOPACOM system updates under ACC contract, October 2025). These relationships position Radome Services as a specialized labor and repair provider feeding the broader defense and space infrastructure base.

Activity has grown from nine awards in 2022 to seventeen in 2024, with a slowdown to ten awards in 2025 and only two recorded through May 2026 — a trajectory consistent with delivery orders flowing under standing IDCs rather than new prime awards. The vendor is registered as a federal contractor since at least 2012. NAICS concentration runs heavy toward 481507 (Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance, 62 awards) and PSC concentration toward maintenance and repair of equipment codes (29 awards under Maint/Repair/Rebuild Of Equipment—Miscellaneous, 17 under Special Industry Machinery, 12 under Radar Equipment Except Airborne).
