Telops Usa, Inc.

Telops Usa, Inc., a foreign-owned manufacturer of infrared and hyperspectral imaging systems, sells specialized camera equipment and optical components to federal agencies as a prime contractor (83% of recent awards) and holds no set-aside certifications. The company is headquartered in Newark, Delaware, with manufacturing and engineering operations in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Primary capability concentrations are analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing (NAICS 333911), optical instrument and lens manufacturing (NAICS 333314), and research and development services — all grounded in the company's core product lines of high-speed infrared cameras, multispectral thermal imaging systems, hyperspectral filter wheels, and precision lenses.

Telops Usa competes full-and-open across all recent prime awards; no set-aside designations appear in the portfolio. Recent representative contracts include a $1.058 million definitive contract awarded by Air Force Education and Training Command in September 2024 for the HYPER-CAM-MWE FAST / HC-IMWEF multispectral imaging program (with completion September 2026), a $184.97 thousand Total Small Business purchase order from NIST in July 2024 for a high-speed infrared micro camera system supporting the CHIPS Metrology program (completed January 2025), a $231.1 thousand Air Force Materiel Command purchase order in April 2024 for a multispectral MS M3K infrared camera system delivered to the Air Force Institute of Technology at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and a $162.2 thousand NIST purchase order in April 2026 for an infrared camera system (completing September 2026).

Customer concentration spans thirteen distinct federal agencies, but dollar value concentrates heavily in defense science and metrology. The top five customers by potential-value share account for 82% of combined potential value: Air Force Education and Training Command anchors the portfolio at $1.1 million (one award), followed by Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center at $619 thousand, NIST at $381 thousand across five awards, Air Force Materiel Command at $231 thousand, and Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command at $160 thousand. By award count, NIST leads with five awards (61% coverage threshold), followed by Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory with five awards, though those five carry only $107 thousand combined potential value — a gap driven by NIST's smaller purchase-order profile versus AETC's larger definitive contract.

Activity has remained modest and intermittent: one award in 2021, two in 2022, four in 2023, four in 2024, and one in 2026. Combined potential value across all 23 awards stands at $3 million, though cumulative obligations reached $4.8 million, indicating work completion and invoice-driven actuals. Two awards carrying $1.2 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure. Telops Usa sits on the One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services vehicle with one task order.

In its subcontractor role, Telops supplies high-speed camera systems and multispectral imaging components to Radiance Technologies (LITES multispectral camera integration for Air Force Research Laboratory, October 2024, where government technical direction emphasized Telops' frames-per-second performance superiority and blackbody-free calibration), Amentum Technology (R&D services high-speed camera, October 2023), and University of Dayton (materials maturation engineering support for high-Mach systems, February 2023). The subcontract footprint is narrow and project-specific, reflecting Telops' positioning as a specialized OEM rather than a systems integrator. Across prime and sub work, the portfolio demonstrates sustained federal customer demand for precision thermal imaging and multispectral camera systems in defense test and metrology applications, with no concentration in any single vehicle or standing IDIQ arrangement.
