About the company
Southwest Antennas, Inc., a veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Poway, California, designs and manufactures high-performance broadband RF and microwave antennas and related accessories for federal law enforcement and defense agencies, operating as a prime contractor on 88% of its federal awards. The company is a child entity of Heico Electronic Technologies Corp, a Miami-based manufacturer of aerospace and defense components.
Southwest Antennas competes across multiple federal agencies without a dominant set-aside posture—recent prime awards split between No Set-Aside and Total Small Business designations, reflecting an open-market competitive stance. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on specialized antenna design and manufacturing, including MIMO software antennas, 4-input antennas, dipole and monopole antennas across various frequency bands, and RF and microwave components for communications and information-warfare applications. Representative prime work includes a $16,082 firm fixed-price purchase order from the US Marshals Service Investigative Operations Division in September 2026 for MIMO software antennas supporting fugitive apprehension operations, a $12,021 Total Small Business purchase order from the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command in September 2025 for a 4-input antenna, and a $37,284 purchase order from the Drug Enforcement Administration in December 2022 for equipment. The DEA represents the vendor's largest customer by award count, with six purchase orders totaling approximately $96 thousand in combined potential value since December 2021.
Customer concentration skews heavily toward federal law enforcement. The Department of Justice agencies—specifically the Drug Enforcement Administration, US Marshals Service Investigative Operations Division, and Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives—account for nine of the vendor's sixteen awards and 75% of award count; however, a single Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center award for $864 thousand dominates combined potential value and represents 99% coverage of the top five customers by dollars. The Navy Information Warfare Systems Command and Naval Air Systems Command round out the active federal customer base. Southwest Antennas places work under two parent IDIQs: Indefinite Delivery Contract N6523618D8014 and W15P7T15D0015, with one task order under each vehicle. As a subcontractor, Southwest Antennas supplies antenna components to Thales Defense & Security Inc. on the Army Leader Radio full-rate production program (August 2025) and to Science Applications International Corporation on the Network On-The-Move FY24 delivery order for half-wave dipole antennas (February 2025).
Activity has been modest and episodic—two awards in 2026, three in 2025, three in 2022, and two in 2021—with only one award (combined potential value $16 thousand) reaching completion within the next twenty-four months. Combined potential value across all sixteen awards is approximately $1 million, with $1.1 million already obligated across the portfolio.
