Tactical Micro, Inc.

Tactical Micro, Inc., a California-based electronics manufacturer and subsidiary of Secure Communication Systems, Inc. (also doing business as Benchmark Secure Technology), competes as a prime contractor in full-and-open federal procurement for specialized electronic components, repair services, and surveillance systems supporting aviation safety, border security, and defense training programs. The company holds no SBA set-aside certifications and operates across 18 distinct federal customer agencies, with 88% of recent awards as a prime contractor and 12% as a subcontractor, competing without socioeconomic set-asides across 103 total awards spanning roughly $579.3 million in combined potential value and $89.6 million in obligated dollars.

Tactical Micro's capability portfolio centers on advanced electronic systems and repair services for two primary mission areas. In aviation, the company supplies specialized electronic components, test equipment, and repair services to the Federal Aviation Administration under a single-award IDC valued at $6.98 million (September 2022 through July 2027) supporting the National Airspace System and air traffic control infrastructure. Recent FAA work includes a $211,161.46 repair delivery order placed in November 2024 and a $78,402.67 repair-funding order from May 2023. In border security, Tactical Micro provides mobile video surveillance system components, repair services, spare parts, and technical support to the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection through a second single-award IDC valued at $875,208.54 (September 2025 through August 2027) encompassing Mobile Video Surveillance System-Radar (MVSS-R) and Primary Mission Support Equipment Monitor interfaces. CBP work includes a $130,007.43 order placed June 2026 for eight MIU-RS units and a $105,000 order from November 2025 for MVSS-R repair and spares support. The company also serves as a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin Corporation on Army training and simulation maintenance programs, including the Fort Knox Digital Air/Ground Integration Range contract, providing encoders and tactical microelectronics components across multiple modifications in 2024.

Customer concentration is bifurcated by volume versus dollar value. By award count (83% coverage), the Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration leads with 27 awards valued at $9.4 million, followed by the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection with 23 awards carrying $153.7 million in combined potential value, and the Department of the Army (Mississippi Army National Guard and PEO Simulation, Training and Instrumentation) accounting for 33 awards. However, by potential value, the Army's PEO Simulation, Training and Instrumentation dominates with 15 awards worth $409 million — a stark divergence from lower award counts that signals that major multiyear training systems work drives most of Tactical Micro's dollar pipeline. CBP's 23 awards represent the second-largest value concentration at $153.7 million.

Tactical Micro operates under two primary single-award IDC vehicles: the FAA contract (September 2022–July 2027, $6.98 million) supporting National Airspace System assets and repair services, and the CBP contract (September 2025–August 2027, $875,208.54) for MVSS-R and border-security surveillance systems. Additional task-order activity flows through IDC 6973GH-22-D-00034 (8 task orders, $707 thousand combined potential value) and IDC 6973GH-25-D-00066 (5 task orders, $310 thousand) for repair and spares support. The company's subcontract work with Lockheed Martin routes through the Army Training Aids, Devices, Simulators, and Simulations Maintenance Program.

Recent activity shows modest annual volume — awards ranged from 4 to 11 per year over the past five years, with 5 awards in 2026 — but the recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal: only one award valued at roughly $11 thousand faces completion inside that window. Most active IDCs extend through 2027 or later, indicating continuity in current customer relationships. The company's capability stack spans multiple NAICS categories: Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (24 awards), Engineering Services (19 awards), and Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (18 awards). Procurement activity skews toward Miscellaneous Vehicular Components and Communications Security Equipment and Components, consistent with surveillance systems and avionics parts manufacturing and support.
