Teledyne Defense Electronics, LLC

Teledyne Defense Electronics, LLC, doing business as Teledyne Microwave Solutions, manufactures and supplies radio frequency, microwave, and advanced electronic components to the Department of Defense and federal logistics agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, headquartered in Thousand Oaks, California, and operates from manufacturing facilities in Mountain View, California and Albuquerque, New Mexico. Teledyne Defense Electronics does not hold SBA set-asides; all identified prime awards have been competed without small business designations.

The vendor's federal footprint centers on radio frequency and microwave component manufacturing. Representative prime work includes a $701.5 million audio-radio amplifier purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (June 2025, 20 units to DLA Distribution Hill), an $850 million control-transmitter definitive contract with DLA Aviation (May 2023, 67 units), a $629.3 thousand YIG filter test, evaluation, and repair services contract with Army Materiel Command (June 2022, five-year sole-source definitive for radar warning receiver sustainment), and a $1.98 million mixer-stage frequency component purchase order from DLA Aviation (August 2023, 57 units). The company supplies radio frequency amplifiers, filters, oscillators, isolators, attenuators, crystal oscillators, variable attenuators, band-pass and band-suppression filters, mixer stages, electronic switches, and related passive and active RF/microwave components primarily through firm fixed-price purchase orders and definitive contracts in the $50,000 to $850,000 range.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward defense logistics and sustainment. The top five funding agencies account for 78% of recent awards (by count) and 89% of combined potential value. DLA Land and Maritime dominates by volume (228 awards, $11.5 million combined potential value) and anchors the vendor's ongoing supply relationship. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center leads by dollar value (48 awards, $22.8 million combined potential value), followed by DLA Land and Maritime, DLA Aviation (54 awards, $10.5 million), and Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (122 awards, $5.2 million). The top NAICS concentrations are radio and television broadcasting and wireless communications equipment manufacturing (185 awards), search and detection guidance system manufacturing (111 awards), and other electronic component manufacturing (73 awards). Top Product Service Codes track directly to output: amplifiers (223 awards), antennas and waveguides (57 awards), filters and networks (44 awards), and electronic countermeasures equipment (39 awards).

On parent vehicles, Teledyne Defense Electronics holds positions on five active indefinite delivery contracts, with the largest being Indefinite Delivery Contract FA853917D0004 (12 task orders, $11.9 million combined potential value) and SPE4A614D0179 (12 task orders, $595 thousand combined potential value). Basic Ordering Agreement N0001921G0017 carries 10 task orders with Navy. The company competes predominantly on full-and-open single-award and multiple-award indefinite delivery vehicles with DLA and Navy activities, not government-wide GWACs or GSA Schedules.

Activity has grown materially year over year — 20 awards in 2022 to 72 in 2024 — though recent trajectory shows moderation (62 awards in 2025, 13 through May 2026). The recompete cliff is modest: six awards with combined potential value of $1.7 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Combined obligated dollars across all awards ($99 million) exceed combined potential value ($57.2 million) at 173%, indicating strong historical execution and invoiced revenue relative to ceiling values.

As a subcontractor, Teledyne Defense Electronics supplies RF and microwave components and repair services to major defense primes. Named primes include Raytheon Company (amplifiers, filters, multiplexers, detectors, and RF switches for PATRIOT missile systems, AN/TPY-2 radar, and SM-3 Block IIA programs), L3Harris Technologies (rework services for AN/ALQ-214 electronic warfare systems, high-band and low-band CW traveling-wave tubes, exciter subassemblies, and limiter microcircuits), Lockheed Martin (RF amplifiers, isolators, and YIG filters for AN/SLQ-32 shipboard electronic warfare systems and Next Generation ORIP programs), BAE Systems (frequency converters and RF amplifiers for tactical modules and electronic warfare suites), Lockheed Martin Sippican (GPS filters), Sikorsky Aircraft (RF amplifiers for Combat Rescue Helicopter), and Northrop Grumman (delay lines for APY-1/2 radar systems). The sub portfolio reflects the vendor's role as a component-level supplier feeding major weapon-system integrators, with sub work spanning communications, radar, electronic warfare, and defense aircraft programs.
