Curtiss-Wright DS, Inc.

Curtiss-Wright DS, Inc. Teletronics Technology Corporation Division, operating as Curtiss-Wright Teletronics Technology, manufactures high-speed data acquisition systems, signal conditioning modules, instrumentation encoders, and avionics hardware for the Department of Defense and NASA as a prime contractor on full-and-open basis, with 94% of recent awards held as prime work and 6% as subcontractor deliveries to major defense primes. Based in Newtown, Pennsylvania, Curtiss-Wright Teletronics Technology is a for-profit manufacturer within the Curtiss-Wright Controls, Inc. parent structure and competes across air combat, test and evaluation, naval aviation, and Army R&D programs with no SBA set-aside designations—all work is awarded on merit.

The vendor's prime footprint centers on three active single-award IDIQ vehicles anchoring the federal relationship. The largest, a $287.084 million Air Force IDIQ (FA930223D0001, awarded January 26, 2023, effective through January 25, 2033) covers high-speed data acquisition system components, cameras, signal conditioning modules, Ethernet switches, data recorders, and flight test instrumentation hardware with ground support and software services. Place of performance includes Newtown, Pennsylvania (manufacturing and engineering), Edwards Air Force Base, California, and Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri. A second Air Force vehicle, the $79.9 million single-award IDIQ with Air Combat Command (awarded March 28, 2025, effective through March 27, 2030), procures HSDAS equipment and support services at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada and subordinate Air Force locations. The Naval Air Warfare Center holds a $49.9 million single-award IDIQ (awarded January 22, 2025, effective through January 21, 2030) for high-speed data acquisition systems hardware and associated repair services supporting naval aviation programs including CH-53K and VX-23 platforms, with performance split between Newtown, Pennsylvania and Patuxent River, Maryland. The U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command operates a smaller $4.387 million single-award IDIQ (awarded April 17, 2024, effective through April 16, 2029) for data acquisition system components with performance at Newtown, Pennsylvania. Combined across these four IDIQs, the vendor holds approximately $420.287 million in ceiling authority and has generated over 775 delivery orders against these vehicles in recent award activity.

Customer concentration is pronounced in Air Force test and evaluation. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 75% of recent awards and dominate by potential value: Department of the Air Force Materiel Command leads with 305 awards and $445.7 million combined potential value, followed by the Air Force Test Center with 298 awards and $63.4 million, the Naval Air Warfare Center with 281 awards and $265.1 million, the broader Air Force with 166 awards and $371.6 million, and Air Combat Command with 76 awards and $272.1 million. These five agencies alone represent $1.418 billion of the vendor's $1.54 billion combined potential value footprint. Performance concentration mirrors ordering concentration—the vendor delivers high-speed data acquisition systems, flight test instrumentation, and related components almost exclusively to Edwards Air Force Base, California; Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada; and Patuxent River, Maryland, reflecting the Air Force and Navy's dominant share of the contractor's workload.

Capability portfolio centers on electronic systems and flight test instrumentation. Representative recent prime awards include an $5.258 million delivery order (August 2, 2024, Air Force) for B-52 CERP HSDAS Delta hardware components, a $3.365 million order (March 3, 2025, Air Force) for AADA STINGRAY program HSDAS components supporting advanced platform development, a $3.06 million order (July 3, 2025, Air Force) for HSDAS power supply components, a $2.164 million order (May 25, 2023, Air Combat Command) for F-22 QRIP III IP version HSDAS equipment and services, and a $1.743 million order (March 26, 2025, Naval Air Systems Command) for HSDAS hardware supporting naval programs. Representative work spans F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program support, B-1 and B-52 aircraft sustainment and modernization, F-22 and F-16 flight testing, interactive analysis and display systems, aircraft ground support operations, and data acquisition system repair and life-cycle sustainment. NASA has awarded Curtiss-Wright Teletronics Technology multiple sole-source purchase orders for flight instrumentation, including $894,252 for Low Boom Flight Demonstration instrumentation encoders, $349,999 for GoSWIFT overhead modules for the F-15D flight test pod, and $206,076 for X-59 instrumentation spare power supplies. Primary NAICS concentration falls within radio and television broadcasting and wireless communications equipment manufacturing (874 awards) and search, detection, navigation, guidance, aeronautical, and nautical system and instrument manufacturing (211 awards). PSC coding emphasizes miscellaneous communication equipment (675 awards), miscellaneous aircraft accessories and components (151 awards), and flight instruments (146 awards).

Activity has remained steady over the past five years (2022: 76 awards to 2025: 47 awards, with 2024 showing 78 awards), though 2026 has launched slower (19 awards as of mid-September). Nineteen awards carrying $16.8 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure for existing Air Force and Navy programs.

Subcontractor engagement names Raytheon Company (Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile production components, Small Diameter Bomb transmitters), Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (Stand-in Attack Weapon Phase 2, E-2D multiyear production, Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent development, target manufacturing), Lockheed Martin Corporation (Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile transponder telemetry modules, infrastructure support for developmental flight testing), The Boeing Company (MQ-25 electromagnetic development, Space Launch System stages production, T-7A Red Hawk program aerospace support), General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (Longshot unmanned air-launched vehicle program), and smaller primes including Safety-Kleen Systems (Saudi Arabian Air Force sustainment), Bell Boeing (V-22 flight test support), and Sierra Nevada Company (Survivable Airborne Operations Center computer components). Subcontract work emphasizes transmitters, data acquisition units, electronic components, telemetry modules, and instrumentation hardware for advanced weapons systems development and production.

The vendor's $1.54 billion combined potential value footprint reflects a specialized, full-and-open competitive posture anchored by four long-term IDIQ vehicles with the Air Force, Navy, and Army, concentrating on high-speed data acquisition systems and flight test instrumentation for critical weapons platforms (F-35, F-22, B-52, F-16, B-1) and next-generation systems in development. Pricing is uniformly firm fixed-price; no set-aside categories apply. The three largest parent IDIQs (Air Force $287 million, Army $79.9 million, Navy $49.9 million) drive approximately 90% of recent task-order activity and establish Curtiss-Wright Teletronics Technology as a strategic single-source supplier for Defense Department test and evaluation infrastructure.
