Shared Spectrum Company

Shared Spectrum Company, doing business as Shared Spectrum Co., is a Vienna, Virginia-based small business manufacturer of advanced wireless communications technology and spectrum sensing solutions. The company specializes in developing cognitive radio systems, dynamic spectrum access capabilities, and spectrum sensing technologies that enable optimized frequency and bandwidth utilization for defense and military applications. As a registered federal contractor since January 2002, Shared Spectrum Company has established itself as a trusted provider of innovative communication technologies across multiple military branches and defense agencies, with a demonstrated track record of delivering research, engineering, and technical services that support national security objectives.

Shared Spectrum Company has received substantial prime federal contract awards totaling approximately $8.5 million in definitive contracts and purchase orders across multiple Department of Defense agencies. The company was awarded a $1.5 million Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract by the Office of the Secretary of Defense in September 2025 for developing an electronic warfare drone payload designed to achieve RF dominance in contested environments, with completion targeted for March 2027. The Office of Naval Research awarded the company a $1.25 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract in June 2025 for the LORAFAN program, which involves modifying LoRaWAN software to improve low power and long range performance through September 2027. The Army Research, Development and Engineering Command awarded a $2.045 million firm fixed price Phase II SBIR contract in January 2025 for persistent experimentation capabilities. Additionally, the company received a $1.999 million Other Transaction Agreement from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in July 2024 for developing a Transponder for Ionospheric Signal Monitoring and Analysis (TISMA), and a $1.499 million Phase II SBIR contract from DARPA in June 2022 for a distributed, large-scale spectrum measurement system. The company also holds smaller contracts including a $299,854 Air Force Phase I SBIR award for secured communications on urban air mobility networks and a $239,623 Navy Small Business Technology Transfer Phase I contract. Most recent research-focused awards carried small business set-aside designations, while the DARPA TISMA contract and ONR LORAFAN contract were not set aside. The company has also performed as a subcontractor, including work on the TRACER (Tasklet Reconfigurable Agile Spectrum Processor) project under University of Southern California as prime contractor in February 2024.

Shared Spectrum Company holds three significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts that position it to compete for substantial future task orders across the Department of Defense. The company was awarded a $4 billion multiple-award SEAPORT-NXG Indefinite Delivery Contract by Naval Sea Systems Command in January 2025, which allows it to compete for future task orders in support of NAVSEA and Navy SYSCOM partners including NAVAIR, NAVWAR, NAVFAC, NAVSUP, Office of Naval Research, and the United States Marine Corps through January 1, 2029. This contract enables the company to pursue opportunities for research, engineering, and technical services related to innovative communication technologies and spectrum-efficient capabilities. Additionally, the company holds a $950 million Joint All Domain Command and Control Support (ABMS) multiple-award IDC from the Air Force, awarded in June 2022 and extending through May 28, 2030, under which the company has already executed a $1.8 million delivery order for advanced battle management systems in July 2022. The company also maintains an Other Transaction IDV with the Department of the Army valued at $1.665 million, awarded in September 2021, for shared spectrum capabilities that support dynamic spectrum access and more efficient utilization of wireless spectrum resources. Collectively, these three IDVs represent approximately $5.965 billion in potential ceiling value, significantly expanding Shared Spectrum Company's capacity to deliver spectrum sensing, cognitive radio, and advanced communications solutions across multiple military domains and defense agencies.

Shared Spectrum Company is unlocking the full potential of wireless bandwidth with its pioneering and innovative cognitive radio technologies that eliminate artificial barriers and support more efficient use of spectrum.
