Curtiss-Wright DS, Inc.

Curtiss-Wright DS, Inc., operating as Curtiss-Wright Teletronics Technology, manufactures high-speed data acquisition systems, electronic test instrumentation, and avionics hardware for Department of Defense and aerospace clients as a prime contractor on 1,390 awards (94% of footprint) and subcontractor on 94 awards. The vendor competes full-and-open; no SBA set-asides appear in its recent award history. Headquarters are in Newtown, Pennsylvania. The company is a division of Curtiss-Wright Controls, Inc., itself a subsidiary of the diversified Curtiss-Wright Corporation.

Curtiss-Wright Teletronics Technology's core business is manufacturing and sustaining high-speed data acquisition systems (HSDAS), signal conditioning modules, recording devices, cameras, Ethernet switches, and related instrumentation for aircraft flight testing and weapons system development. Representative prime work includes a $79.9 million single-award IDIQ with Air Force Air Combat Command (effective through March 2030) for HSDAS equipment and support services, issued delivery orders for $5.25 million in B-52 CERP components, $4.15 million for Nellis Air Force Base F-35 support, and $2.16 million for F-22 QRIP III flight test equipment. A $49.9 million single-award Naval Air Warfare Center IDIQ (through January 2030) supports high-speed data acquisition hardware and repair for naval aviation programs including CH-53K and VX-23. A $4.4 million U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command IDIQ (through April 2029) covers data acquisition system components. The vendor also holds a $287 million Air Force IDIQ (through January 2033) for HSDAS components, cameras, and signal conditioning modules. Recent work includes sole-source NASA procurement of signal conditioning module repairs valued at $50.8 thousand and $41.1 thousand for multiplexer and bus monitor cards delivered to Armstrong Flight Research Center.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed to Air Force test and evaluation. The top five funding agencies by award count and value account for 75% of awards and 92% of combined potential value: Air Force Materiel Command (305 awards, $445.7 million), Air Force (160 awards, $369.3 million), Air Combat Command (75 awards, $271.2 million), Naval Air Warfare Center (280 awards, $264.1 million), and Air Force Test Center (298 awards, $63.4 million). The two rankings align closely; no customer tension exists between volume and dollar share.

The vendor operates under four major IDIQ vehicles: FA930217D0012 (229 task orders, $262.9 million), FA930205D0050 (267 task orders, $35.5 million), FA930211D0004 (191 task orders, $80 million), and FA930223D0001 (82 task orders, $48.8 million). All are single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the Air Force, issued on merit basis without set-aside designation.

Activity has remained relatively stable: 76 awards in 2022, 69 in 2023, 78 in 2024, and 47 in 2025 (with only 7 through mid-2026). The 1,484-award portfolio spans a potential value of $1.54 billion, of which $541.5 million (35%) is obligated. Eleven awards with combined potential value of $10.3 million complete in the next twenty-four months, presenting moderate recompete exposure.

Subcontract footprint reflects support for major defense primes. Recent sub-work includes HSDAS components for Northrop Grumman on Stand-in Attack Weapon Phase 2 development, Raytheon on Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile production and Small Diameter Bomb Increment II, Lockheed Martin on Precision Strike Missile engineering and Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile procurement, The Boeing Company on MQ-25 and SLS programs, and systems integration support to Bell Boeing on V-22 flight test.

Award category concentration is heavily weighted to communication equipment and avionics. The top NAICS codes are Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (867 awards), Search, Detection, Navigation, and Guidance Aeronautical Systems Manufacturing (208 awards), and Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing (165 awards). Primary PSC codes are Miscellaneous Communication Equipment (675 awards), Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories (149 awards), and Flight Instruments (145 awards).
