Telspan Data, LLC

Telspan Data, LLC, a Colorado-based for-profit Subchapter S corporation and manufacturer of ruggedized telemetry and data acquisition systems, operates as a prime contractor (92% of recent awards) and subcontractor in full-and-open competition—with no SBA set-aside designations across its footprint. The vendor specializes in airborne data recorders, ground recorder systems, data replay systems, instrumentation gateways, and technical support services for military aircraft programs, operating from Greenwood Village, Colorado.

Telspan's customer base is heavily concentrated on Air Force Materiel Command work. The top five customers account for 95% of recent awards by count and 100% of potential value, with Air Force Materiel Command anchoring 191 awards valued at $134.4 million combined potential value. The Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (an AFMC subordinate) holds ten awards worth $9.8 million; Air Force Materiel Command Test Center, ten awards for $2.4 million; Naval Air Warfare Center, fifteen awards for $366 thousand; and NASA Shared Services Center, three awards for $86 thousand. Dollar concentration tracks award concentration—AFMC dominates both volume and value, reflecting the vendor's core positioning as a sole-source sustainment provider for the Tactical Airborne Direction System (TADS) and related avionics.

Telspan's primary vehicle position centers on three indefinite delivery contracts with Air Force Materiel Command. IDC FA248718D0016 carries 102 task orders valued at $37.8 million combined potential value; IDC FA248714D0120 holds 77 task orders for $10 million; IDC FA248716D0161 supports 19 task orders for $4.1 million. A fourth IDC, FA850521D0002, places five task orders for $4.2 million in contractor logistics support. Representative recent prime work includes a $2.886 million delivery order for F-15EX CPAS-5530 LOT 3B airborne data recorders and ground support equipment (April 2025, AFMC); an $890 thousand delivery order for Tactical Airborne Direction System contractor logistics support to Greenwood Village, Colorado (August 2025, Warner Robins ALC); and a $641.6 thousand delivery order for airborne data recorders and LRSO spares (October 2023, AFMC). The vendor's NAICS profile is dominated by Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical and Nautical System Instrument Manufacturing (216 awards), with PSC coding centered on Radio Navigation Equipment, Airborne (152 awards).

Activity has been volatile year over year—22 awards in 2022, declining to nine in 2023, rising to 27 in 2024, then dropping to 14 in 2025 with two awards so far in 2026. Combined obligated dollars stand at $60.9 million against $147.6 million combined potential value (41% obligation rate). Six awards valued at $7.1 million combined potential face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure relative to the vendor's overall portfolio.
