About the company

Teledyne Instruments, Inc.'s Teledyne RD Instruments Division manufactures specialized oceanographic and hydrological instrumentation — primarily acoustic Doppler current profilers, Doppler velocity logs, acoustic releases, modems, and sensors — and sells them as a prime contractor to federal civilian and defense agencies on full-and-open, non-set-aside competition. The division is a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, headquartered in Thousand Oaks, California, and operates from Poway, California; it holds no small business certifications and competes exclusively in unrestricted procurements.

Teledyne RD Instruments' customer base is heavily concentrated within two federal agencies. The U.S. Geological Survey's Office of Acquisitions and Grants accounts for 156 awards totaling $43.4 million in combined potential value — roughly 56% of the division's recent portfolio. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command places 47 awards for $26.4 million. These two customers alone represent 94% of award count coverage. The concentration by dollars is even steeper: USGS and Naval Sea Systems Command account for approximately 74% of the $78.6 million combined potential value across all 276 tracked awards. Other named customers include the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (42 awards, $1.1 million), the Navy's Office of Naval Research (11 awards, $2.1 million), and the Navy's Information Warfare Systems Command (4 awards, $4.9 million).

Teledyne RD Instruments' principal vehicle is a single-award indefinite delivery contract with USGS (140G0122D0001), valued at $16 million over five years and awarded January 19, 2022, through January 18, 2027. This contract designates the division as the exclusive provider of hydrological equipment, repairs, and maintenance services for USGS's national stream gauging network and has generated 35 task orders totaling $10.1 million in combined potential value. The division also places significant task-order volume under Navy vehicle ING17PC00023 (107 task orders, $8.3 million), as well as smaller positions on Navy vehicle N6660415D0080 (5 task orders, $3.1 million) and other defense vehicles. Recent representative prime awards include a $1.1 million firm fixed-price delivery order with USGS (April 6, 2026) for oceanographic instrumentation under the parent IDC, a $671,801.57 delivery order with USGS (July 29, 2026) for hydrological equipment, and a $234,450 sole-source purchase order from the Navy's Office of Naval Research (July 31, 2024) for a Deep Bottom Boundary Layer Observations System.

Activity has been declining over the past five years — 18 awards in 2022 down to 10 in 2026 — though the division maintains a steady flow of work. Of the 276 total awards tracked, 273 are prime contracts or indefinite delivery vehicles, with only 3 recorded sub-awards (less than 1% of the portfolio), indicating the division operates almost exclusively as a prime contractor rather than in a teaming or sub role. The recompete cliff over the next twenty-four months includes 5 awards with a combined potential value of $1.5 million. Work is performed primarily at the Poway, California facility, with select orders designating alternate locations such as Billings, Montana and John C. Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. The division's NAICS footprint is dominated by instruments and related products manufacturing (166 awards) and search, detection, navigation, guidance, aeronautical and nautical system and instrument manufacturing (68 awards), with smaller exposure in repair and maintenance (21 awards combined).
