Rohde & Schwarz Usa, Inc.

Rohde & Schwarz Usa, Inc., a foreign-owned subsidiary of German manufacturer Rohde & Schwarz GMBH & CO. Kommanditgesellschaft, operates as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards) delivering advanced electronic test and measurement equipment, RF instrumentation, communications systems hardware, and related engineering services to the Department of Defense and federal civilian agencies on a full-and-open, unrestricted basis. The company holds no SBA set-aside designations and competes across all contract vehicles without set-aside protection, leveraging specialized technical capabilities in signal generators, spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers, oscilloscopes, and high-frequency communication systems.

Rohde & Schwarz USA's portfolio spans concrete capability delivery. Prime work includes a $4.93 billion single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the Department of the Navy Headquarters (awarded December 2, 2025) for Voice Communication Systems hardware, software, labor support, implementation, deployment, and sustainment through February 29, 2028, with a $389.9 million delivery order issued March 19, 2026. The company holds a $65.9 million definitive contract with the Transportation Security Administration (awarded September 25, 2026) for advanced imaging technology equipment and associated shipping, installation, and warranty maintenance services through September 24, 2029. A $246.4 million time-and-materials definitive contract with the Federal Aviation Administration (awarded May 12, 2025) addresses National Airspace System voice system modernization under the LIFT Initiative, replacing TDM-dependent systems with IP-capable infrastructure. Recent representative work includes a $1.72 million definitive contract with TSA (September 30, 2026) for inclusive on-person screening technologies accommodating limb differences and prosthetic recognition; a $1.577 million TSA contract (September 30, 2026) for advanced quadrupole passenger screening technology; and a $400,000 FAA contract (July 9, 2026) for AAC Voice Communication System letter contract work. Smaller procurements span signal generators, oscilloscopes, vector network analyzers, and calibration services across NIST, Naval commands, Air Force, Coast Guard, and other agencies, with individual purchase orders typically ranging from $3,600 to $319,000.

Customer concentration sits with Navy commands and defense agencies. The top five funding agencies by combined potential value account for approximately 7% of the portfolio, led by Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (108 awards, $151.5 million combined potential value), US Coast Guard (55 awards, $116.1 million), Naval Supply Systems Command (841 awards, $103.9 million), Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (37 awards, $69.3 million), and Naval Sea Systems Command (193 awards, $52.4 million). Naval Supply Systems Command dominates by award count—841 awards across the source data—but ranks third by dollar value; NISC anchors the largest potential-value concentration despite only 108 awards, reflecting the $4.93 billion VCS IDIQ ceiling. The divergence signals that Rohde & Schwarz sustains high-volume transactional work (small test equipment purchases) while anchoring strategic platform commitments through major Navy systems contracts.

Rohde & Schwarz USA maintains four active indefinite-delivery vehicles serving as primary procurement mechanisms. The $4.93 billion Navy VCS IDIQ (December 2, 2025, through February 29, 2028) covers voice communication systems hardware, software, program management, engineering, test, logistics, quality control, production, implementation, and sustainment. A $12.66 million Naval Supply Systems Command indefinite-delivery contract (awarded November 14, 2024, through November 12, 2029) procures signal generators, oscilloscopes, and spectrum analyzers; recent task orders include a $319,000 signal generator (January 14, 2025), a $192,347.20 signal generator (February 23, 2026), a $90,540 oscilloscope (April 17, 2026), and multiple smaller orders at $28,800 to $3,600. A $91.072 million Naval Information Warfare Systems Command single-award IDIQ (September 2023 through September 2033) covers high-frequency communication systems and components; task orders in the source include a $6.9 million delivery order for seventeen ship kits, components, support, and training (February 5, 2026). A $20.2 million Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex IDIQ (awarded June 17, 2026, through June 16, 2031) procures Versatile Diagnostic Automated Test Station kits for the 402nd Software Engineering Group. The company also holds a $2.52 million Naval Air Warfare Center indefinite-delivery contract (March 3, 2026, through May 31, 2026) for vector network analyzers. Beyond IDIQs, Rohde & Schwarz appears on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule with 299 task orders carrying $23.1 million combined potential value.

Activity has remained consistent year over year. Awards per year averaged 101 to 135 from 2022 through 2024, rising slightly to 143 in 2025, then declining to 76 through October 2026 (partial-year count). The recompete cliff presents moderate near-term exposure: twenty-five awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry a combined potential value of $681.3 million, anchored by the $246.4 million FAA LIFT contract (completion March 31, 2026) and the $65.9 million TSA advanced imaging technology contract (completion September 24, 2029, but the clock starts from September 2026).

Rohde & Schwarz USA operates predominantly as a prime contractor (95% of awards), with limited subcontractor footprint. Named sub relationships span General Dynamics Mission Systems (R21 Coastal sustainment task orders), The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (AEGIS-based defense missile systems sustainment, electronic countermeasures sustainment engineering), Sierra Nevada Company (beacon and radio equipment), Leidos (checkpoint deployment services, C5ISR system design and development), and L3Harris Technologies (ALQ-172 system repair services, LWST frequency generators), among others. Across SCI-reportable service contracts (which capture only federal services above $150,000 and exclude goods and products), the vendor reported $11.4 million in invoiced revenue across FY2024–FY2025 (1.6 FTEs in FY2024, 1.8 FTEs in FY2025), with government-paid hourly rates at the median of $2,005.50 per hour and a 90th percentile of $2,372.88 per hour, reflecting senior engineering and program management labor. SCI sub-engagement was zero percent, indicating that Rohde & Schwarz delivers service contracts using company labor rather than subcontractors.

The vendor's NAICS profile reflects its equipment and manufacturing posture. Top NAICS categories include Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals (1,623 awards), Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (194 awards), and Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance (216 awards). Top PSC codes parallel this: Electrical And Electronic Properties Measuring And Testing Instruments (1,434 awards), Antennas, Waveguides, And Related Equipment (132 awards), and Radio And Television Communication Equipment, Except Airborne (79 awards). Recent awards show continued concentration on signal generators, vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, RF equipment, and related calibration and repair services supporting Navy modernization, Air Force sustainment, and civilian agency RF research infrastructure.
