Silvus Technologies, Inc.

Silvus Technologies, Inc., a Los Angeles-based manufacturer of advanced wireless communications technologies and a subsidiary of Motorola Solutions, Inc., supplies tactical mesh radios, StreamCaster MIMO equipment, and mobile ad-hoc networking (MANET) solutions to defense and federal law-enforcement agencies as a prime contractor (55% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to major defense primes. The vendor competes predominantly on full and open basis with no set-aside designations across its prime footprint.

Silvus specializes in resilient tactical radio systems and wireless networking equipment designed to maintain connectivity in complex operational environments. Representative prime work includes a $9.999 million single-award SBIR Phase III IDIQ with Customs and Border Protection for TAK radios and services (awarded September 2022, completing September 2026); an $8.573 million delivery order with the Federal Bureau of Investigation under the FBI Tactical Mesh Systems MANET 2017-2022 vehicle for tactical mesh radios (May through September 2022); a $922.970 million purchase order from U.S. Special Operations Command for MANET equipment (awarded September 2023); and a $1.498 million delivery order under the CBP SBIR Phase III IDIQ for TAK radios and services (awarded September 2022, completing September 2024). Recent FY2026 activity includes a $488.812 thousand purchase order from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center for mesh radios (awarded April 2026) and a $163.186 thousand order from U.S. Marshals Service Tactical Operations Division under Total Small Business set-aside for StreamCaster radio sets (awarded April 2026). The vendor also holds a $13.264 million DARPA Other Transaction agreement for the MOSAIC Scattered Wide-Area Resilient Networks program.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to defense and tactical operations. The Department of the Air Force dominates by potential value at $950.7 million combined across 11 awards, anchored by a multi-billion-dollar Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) vehicle position and the TF-99 SILVUS RADIO PURCHASE contract. The Federal Bureau of Investigation ranks second at $121.3 million across eight awards. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency accounts for $40 million across 17 awards. The top five customer agencies by dollar value represent 98% of combined potential value. Award-count concentration is more diffuse: Army Acquisition Support Center, Air Force Materiel Command divisions, and Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support each place 18–27 awards, covering 41% of activity; Silvus works with 48 distinct customer agencies in aggregate.

Silvus places task orders against five major parent vehicles: the Indefinite Delivery Contract W31P4Q22D0004 (24 task orders), Basic Ordering Agreement FA862021G4009 (18 task orders), Special Operations Equipment—Tailored Logistics Support (17 task orders), FBI Tactical Mesh Systems MANET 2017-2022 (7 task orders, $23.2 million combined value), and Responsive Strategic Sourcing for Services (7 task orders).

Activity has grown substantially year over year — 15 awards in 2022 to 60 in 2024 and 55 in 2025 — reflecting increased adoption of Silvus' MANET and tactical radio capabilities across defense and homeland-security customers. Only two awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $652 thousand), indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. Combined potential value across all 251 awards (prime and sub) stands at $1.17 billion, with $179.1 million obligated to date (15% utilization).

In its substantial subcontractor role, Silvus delivers StreamCaster radios, antennas, cables, and software loads to major defense primes including Northrop Grumman (supplying MIMO radios and components for Integrated Battle Command System LRIP/FRP in dozens of sub awards), Sierra Nevada Company (supplying components for Big Safari programs), Booz Allen Hamilton (MANET MIMO radios and tactical communications systems), Leidos (tactical radio kits and enhancers), General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (radio systems for unmanned vehicles), and Atlantic Diving Supply (StreamCaster radios in various configurations). Silvus also subs to Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, CACI, DCS Corporation, and others on defense R&D and integration efforts. The subcontractor footprint reflects Silvus' position as a specialized radio component and systems supplier embedded in major platform and integration primes.

By category, Silvus' work concentrates in Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (61 awards), Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (44 awards), and Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing (24 awards). The portfolio spans both product sales (PSC codes for radio communication equipment) and applied research and development (R&D—Defense Other, 20 awards).
