About the company

San Luis Aviation, Inc., operating as San Luis Aviation Inc., is a for-profit software and secure communications vendor headquartered in San Luis Obispo, California, that sells proprietary Enterprise Secure Chat (ESChat) platform licenses and push-to-talk communication services to federal law enforcement and civilian agencies as a prime contractor on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS). The vendor competes exclusively full-and-open; it holds no SBA set-asides except where customers apply total small business set-asides to individual orders. San Luis Aviation is foreign-owned and registered in SAM.gov since April 2007.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on secure push-to-talk and chat licensing, cellular subscriptions, and cloud-hosted access to the ESChat platform, with concrete recent work anchored to law enforcement and investigative operations. The Drug Enforcement Administration accounts for 30 awards and $9.4 million of the combined potential value across all recent work — roughly 87% of the total. Representative awards include a $4.999 million five-year delivery order from DEA (June 2025 through May 2030) for ESChat push-to-talk communication platform services, cellular accounts, and communication subscriptions supporting drug trafficking investigations; a $53,180 delivery order from the Office of the Inspector General (June 2025 through January 2030) for Enterprise Secure Chat law enforcement broadband push-to-talk services; and a $128,380 delivery order from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General (July 2022 through July 2027) for cloud-hosted ESChat access supporting 350 to 563 users. All work is performed in San Luis Obispo, with some delivery locations in Boston and Washington, DC.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration represents 89% of awards and 97% of combined potential value when accounting for secondary customers. The Navy Criminal Investigative Service, the FBI Headquarters Division, and the GSA and DOJ Offices of the Inspector General round out the customer set. San Luis Aviation maintains a single parent vehicle: 34 of 45 awards sit on the GSA MAS contract (GS-35F-0157Y), generating $9.9 million in combined potential value. The vendor's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans eight roles ranging from Quality Assurance Specialist at $73.55 per hour (bachelor's, nine years experience) to System Architect and Project Manager at $113.85 per hour (bachelor's, five to ten years experience), with no security-cleared labor offered.

Activity has been episodic — one award in 2021, two in 2022, one in 2023, three in 2025, and one in 2026 — across a footprint established since at least 2012. Only one award (combined potential value $128 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The vendor operates as a pure prime (100% of awards); it carries no subcontract footprint in the source data. Combined potential value across all 45 awards stands at $10.8 million, with $4.1 million obligated to date (38% realization).
