Teaheadsets Corp.

Teaheadsets Corp., doing business as Television Equipment Associates, manufactures military-grade communications equipment and components—headsets, cable assemblies, connectors, microphone harnesses, and related gear—as a prime contractor to the Department of Defense and allied agencies. The vendor competes in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations, though it qualifies for and has won scattered small-business set-aside awards. Headquartered in Brewster, New York, Teaheadsets Corp. operates as a for-profit manufacturer with registered federal contractor status since August 2001, classified primarily under NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and radio/television broadcasting equipment manufacturing.

The vendor's award portfolio spans 852 prime contracts and one sub-award, yielding $172.1 million in combined potential value and $71.8 million in obligated dollars. The award footprint is heavily weighted toward low-dollar-value, high-volume purchase orders and delivery orders placed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and military branch commands. DLA Land and Maritime alone accounts for 226 awards with $11.3 million combined potential value, followed by the United States Special Operations Command (79 awards, $1.4 million) and DLA Aviation (75 awards, $567 thousand). Marine Corps awards deliver outsized dollar concentration despite lower award count: 34 Marine Corps awards carry $4.4 million in combined potential value, nearly four times DLA Land and Maritime's per-award average. The top five customer agencies account for roughly 54% of the award count but only 13% of combined potential value, reflecting Tea's role as a high-velocity, low-touch supplier to defense logistics channels.

The vendor holds three single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each with a $250,000 ceiling, and participates in the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) valued up to $6 million. The "Law Enforcement & Security Services" vehicle (likely a GSA or federal system reference) accounts for 426 task orders and $30.1 million in combined potential value—substantially larger than any named IDC or MAS—though the source does not clarify the parent vehicle structure. Recent representative work includes a January 2026 $2,804.67 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for an electrical cap component (delivery by February 2026), a $29,662 small-business-set-aside purchase order from DLA for electrical headsets (October 2025), an $34,580.95 Coast Guard procurement for Inter Communication System cords on MH-60T and MH-65E helicopters with U94/D8 push-to-talk capability (August 2025), and an $80,693.76 Air Combat Command small-business-set-aside award for radio headsets and accessories (June 2024).

Activity has declined sharply in recent years. The vendor recorded 20 awards in 2022, six in 2023, three in 2024, seven in 2025, and one in 2026 year-to-date—a downward trajectory inconsistent with flat or growing federal demand, signaling either a shift in Tea's pursuit strategy, loss of share to competitors, or consolidation of DLA purchasing under fewer, larger vehicles. The sub-award footprint is negligible: one sub-award to BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services (March 2023) for unpriced orders against a BOA connector for an electronics assembly. Place of performance is consistently Brewster, New York across the prime award set.
