Teledyne Instruments Inc.

Teledyne Instruments Inc., through its Teledyne D.g.o'Brien Division (DGO), manufactures specialized electronic components and interconnect solutions for naval and defense applications as a prime contractor (89% of recent awards) competing full-and-open against all eligible vendors with no set-aside designation. The division is a large, unrestricted defense contractor and subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, headquartered in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, competing primarily under NAICS 334417 (Electronic Connector Manufacturing) and PSC 5935 (Connectors, Electrical).

DGO's customer concentration sits almost entirely within the Department of the Navy and Defense Logistics Agency. The top five funding organizations account for 93% of recent awards, dominated by Naval Sea Systems Command (752 awards, $148.1 million combined potential value) and Naval Supply Systems Command (355 awards, $113.6 million combined potential value), with significant engagement from Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (476 awards, $18.1 million), Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (109 awards, $15.5 million), and Naval Strategic Systems Programs (34 awards, $13.6 million). The two rankings track closely—NAVSEA and NAVSUP together anchor roughly 60% of all awards and over 80% of dollars—signaling sustained, high-value customer concentration in submarine and naval platform sustainment.

DGO's capability footprint centers on precision electrical connectors, cable assemblies, hull penetrators, and specialized electronic components for submarine and surface ship systems. Representative prime work includes a $98.2 million multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract (through March 2031) for SUBSAFE and Level 1 TR-317 Series hull penetrator assemblies with Naval Sea Systems Command; a $7.4 million definitive contract (March 2026) for specialized cable assemblies with Naval Supply Systems Command; a $2.0 million definitive contract (November 2024) for hydrophone assemblies with Naval Supply Systems Command; and a $1.8 million delivery order (September 2025) for FMS hydrophone and transducer connectors with Naval Strategic Systems Programs. Across the portfolio, DGO delivers sole-source and competitive procurements for electronic interconnect solutions where technical drawings, SUBSAFE qualification, ITAR control, and design approvals lock the company as the original manufacturer or sole responsible source.

DGO holds four named indefinite-delivery contracts: a $350,000 single-award IDC (April 2026) with Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime for electrical connectors; a $350,000 single-award IDC (March 2026) with DLA Land and Maritime for electronic insert modules; a $350,000 single-award IDC (February 2026) with DLA Land and Maritime for electrical connectors; and the $98.2 million multiple-award IDC (March 2026) with Naval Sea Systems Command for hull penetrator assemblies. These vehicles anchor recurring task-order flow across the top customer agencies.

Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years—140 awards in 2022 to 177 in 2024, declining to 141 in 2025 and 31 in the first quarter of 2026. Forty-seven awards (combined potential value $12.2 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete risk or contract renewal pressure. The portfolio shows strong dollar realization, with 85% of combined potential value already obligated across all awards.

In its subcontractor role, DGO supplies electrical connectors, cable assemblies, hull penetrators, and specialized interconnect components to Electric Boat Corporation (primary sub partner for Virginia-class and Columbia-class submarine construction and long-lead material), Lockheed Martin (hull penetrator and antenna connector work), Leidos (autonomous systems design and systems engineering support), Huntington Ingalls (USS Columbus and CVN 80 engineering efforts and cable assemblies), Teledyne Brown Engineering (FMS boats engineering materials and services), and L3 Technologies (MK 20 EOSS and MK 46 OSS replenishment spares). The subcontractor footprint reflects DGO's role as a component and materials supplier within the larger shipbuilding and naval modernization industrial base.

Place of performance spans Portsmouth, New Hampshire (primary manufacturing site), Newport, Rhode Island (alternate performance location for select contracts), and Crane, Indiana (for specialized thermistor connectors). DGO operates as a large, full-and-open competitor with established SUBSAFE and Level 1 qualification, drawing recurring work from decades-long supplier relationships with Naval Sea Systems Command and Naval Supply Systems Command for mission-critical underwater systems, submarine electrical systems, and fleet modernization programs.
