About the company
Syncopated Engineering Inc., a Maryland-based for-profit Subchapter S corporation, delivers wireless communications systems, signal processing, and embedded software to defense and homeland security agencies primarily as a prime contractor (63% of recent awards) under small business set-asides, with supplemental subcontract work for Lockheed Martin on sensor and communications programs.
Syncopated's core capability portfolio centers on software-defined radio (SDR) systems, cognitive radio technologies, advanced wireless communications, signal processing, data analytics, and distributed sensor networks for military and border-security missions. Recent prime work includes a $2.4 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract from the Office of Naval Research (awarded April 2023, completing April 2025) for cognitive radio development; a $998 thousand Phase II SBIR from the Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate (awarded April 2025, completing March 2027) supporting CBP, USCG, and ICE border protection operations; a $249 thousand Phase I SBIR from the Department of the Army (awarded November 2024, completing May 2025) for persistent multi-modal distributed sensor networks at the SMDC Reagan Test Site; and a $363 thousand firm-fixed-price purchase order from the Marine Corps (awarded March 2026) for MOCKINGBIRD RF wireless communications equipment. The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-asides in SBIR Phase I and Phase II vehicles, with occasional full-and-open procurements on larger research awards.
Customer concentration is narrow and defense-heavy. The top five agencies account for 81% of recent awards by count, led by the Office of Naval Research (3 awards, $4.6 million), the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate (2 awards, $1.2 million), the Department of the Army (2 awards, $499 thousand), the Department of the Air Force (4 awards), and United States Special Operations Command (2 awards). The potential-value ranking is anchored by ONR, which carries the largest single award. Syncopated sits on Indefinite Delivery Contract H9225417D0001, placing 6 task orders under that vehicle. As a subcontractor, Syncopated performs sensor and communications engineering labor on Lockheed Martin's MISO LCSM program (multiple task orders and change proposals awarded between May 2022 and March 2024), supporting land-based distributed sensing operations.
Activity has accelerated — one to two awards per year from 2022–2023 to six awards in 2024 — with a recent slowdown to one award in 2026 year-to-date. One award carrying $998 thousand in potential value reaches completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing minimal recompete cliff exposure. Combined potential value across all recent prime and sub awards is $6.9 million; obligations have reached $7 million, slightly exceeding stated ceiling values. The vendor's NAICS footprint splits between research and development services (5–8 awards depending on classification) and communications equipment manufacturing (1–2 awards), reflecting its position at the intersection of software, hardware, and R&D delivery for defense RF and wireless applications.
