Teledyne Digital Imaging Inc.

Teledyne Digital Imaging Inc., operating as Teledyne Caris through its Teledyne Geospatial Division, sells hydrographic and marine geographic information system software to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, with no subcontract footprint in the recent award record. The company is a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, a diversified technology manufacturer headquartered in Thousand Oaks, California, and competes on an unrestricted, full-and-open basis across all recent awards with no SBA set-aside designations.

Teledyne Caris' federal capability portfolio centers on three core software product families: CARIS HIPS and SIPS Professional (hydrographic information and sensor integration processing system for seafloor mapping and nautical charting), CARIS BASE Editor and BASE Manager (hydrographic and bathymetric data processing), and supporting subscriptions, maintenance, and professional services. Representative recent work includes a $787,066 firm-fixed-price delivery order with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for CARIS software assurance, maintenance, and enterprise licensing under the Hydrographic Service Improvement Act (awarded October 2025); a $267,875 delivery order from Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command (NAVOCEANO) for CARIS software support and services (awarded March 2024); a $69,753 purchase order from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for Inland Electronic Navigation Chart (IENC) software renewal and acquisition (awarded September 2024); and a $75,393 sole-source purchase order from Naval Information Warfare Systems Command for Bathy Database Server hardware and software with subscriptions (awarded February 2022).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward civilian oceanographic and maritime agencies. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 87 percent of recent awards, led by NOAA (14 awards, $3.6 million combined potential value), the U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants (11 awards, $192 thousand), and Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command (8 awards, $1.2 million). However, the top-customers-by-potential-value ranking reveals a material divergence: GSA Federal Acquisition Service (the contracting office managing the MAS vehicle itself) ranks first with 2 awards carrying $10.5 million combined potential value, reflecting the MAS contract ceiling rather than task-order volume. NOAA dominates both rankings in terms of operational deployment of the software.

Teledyne Caris operates almost entirely through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule vehicle, which accounts for 34 task orders and $5 million in combined potential value across the recent portfolio. The company also holds four task orders under the Information Technology Schedule 70, carrying $64 thousand combined potential value. All 46 recent prime awards flow through these GSA vehicles; the vendor does not appear on agency-specific IDIQs or BPAs. Activity has been variable year over year—eight awards in 2022, declining to four in 2023, rising to five in 2024, then seven in 2025—with only one award (the March 2026 US Fleet Forces Command HIPS and SIPS subscription for $18,178) recorded in the first quarter of 2026. Four awards with combined potential value of $1.2 million face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete exposure for the vendor and recompete opportunity for competitors.

The vendor's award footprint spans 46 prime contracts across ten distinct federal agencies with no recorded subcontract activity, indicating Teledyne Caris operates as a direct software and support services provider rather than as a subcontractor within larger systems integrator teams. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $16 million, with $4.5 million obligated (28 percent of potential). The primary NAICS concentration is Software Publishers (42 of 46 awards), with supporting work under Other Computer Related Services and IT-focused PSC codes emphasizing perpetual-license software and IT service delivery.
