Teledyne Reson Inc.

Teledyne Reson Inc., a foreign-owned manufacturer of marine equipment and oceanographic instrumentation based in Thousand Oaks, California, operates as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) delivering hydrophone calibration, multibeam sonar repair, hydrographic survey equipment maintenance, and specialized marine sensor services to federal defense and civilian maritime agencies on full-and-open, firm fixed-price purchase orders and definitive contracts. The division operates within Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, a diversified technology conglomerate, and competes without set-aside designations.

Teledyne Reson's federal customer base skews maritime and oceanographic. The top five customer organizations by award count account for 49% of recent awards, anchored by the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (94 awards, $5 million combined potential value), the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (44 awards, $231 thousand combined potential value), and the Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command (41 awards, $6.6 million combined potential value). The top-five ranking by potential value is weighted toward NAVSEA and Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command (which together represent $11.8 million across 63 awards), while NOAA dominates by order volume. Teledyne Reson's capability footprint centers on repair and calibration of proprietary Teledyne marine systems—hydrophone calibrations (56 sensors per the June 2025 NAVSEA order for $46,116), multibeam sonar receiver repairs (December 2023 USACE order for $37,953 for RS2 evaluation), hydrographic survey equipment restoration (August 2023 USACE order for $26,565), and gyrocompass procurement and repair. Representative work includes a $2.8 million September 2022 NAVSEA definitive contract for in-country hydrographic survey technical services, and recurring NOAA procurements for gyrocompass repair and sound velocity probe delivery (July 2021 awards ranging from $14,668 to $51,873).

Teledyne Reson places work under two GSA Federal Supply Schedules: GS24F1449C (91 task orders, $14.8 million combined potential value) and GS07F0501V (43 task orders, $3.4 million combined potential value), which collectively anchor 77% of the combined potential value in recent awards. Top NAICS categories center on search, detection, navigation, guidance, aeronautical, and nautical system and instrument manufacturing (254 awards) and electronic equipment component manufacturing (94 awards), with underwater sound equipment and navigational instruments dominating the PSC profile. Activity has been episodic over the past five years—3 awards in 2022, 4 in 2023, 1 in 2024, 6 in 2025, and 1 in 2026—reflecting the discrete, maintenance-driven nature of federal hydrophone and sonar repair procurements. Teledyne Reson's sub-award footprint is minimal: three sub-awards across Boeing (July 2025, XLUUV system design), Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (March 2025, SSN advanced sensors materials), and Atlantic Diving Supply (March 2024, hydrophone component procurement). Total combined dollars obligated across all awards ($42.8 million) exceeded combined potential value ($39.4 million) by 9%, indicating obligation discipline and contract closeout activity. The vendor is the Original Equipment Manufacturer of much of its product line, securing sole-source hydrophone calibration work and receiver repairs where government agencies operate Teledyne Reson systems.
