Thinkom Solutions, Inc.

Thinkom Solutions, Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Hawthorne, California, designs and manufactures phased-array antennas, electronically steered antenna systems, and advanced communications equipment for defense and space agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). Thinkom competes in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designation on the bulk of its larger programs, though it qualifies for and pursues Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contracts and total small business set-asides when available. The company manufactures goods and performs research and development in defense electronics, communications systems, and tactical terminal prototypes.

Thinkom's customer base concentrates heavily in the Department of Defense and related federal research agencies. The top five customer entities by combined potential value account for 89% of recent funding: the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (1 award, $17.3 million) anchors the portfolio through a $17.25 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity other transaction authority contract awarded November 2022 for next-generation multi-band tactical terminal prototype development; the Department of the Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground (3 awards, $13.2 million); the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (11 awards, $4.9 million); the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Enterprise Information Systems (1 award, $3.9 million); and the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (12 awards, $3.3 million). The Navy contract concentration reflects recurring cylindrical antenna deliveries and related communications hardware over multiple years. Recent representative prime awards include a $2.9 million definitive contract from the Space and Missile Systems Center (October 2025) for detailed design, fabrication, and test of a transportable, flexible digital array ground station in a shipping container form factor; a $3.9 million firm fixed-price contract from PEO Enterprise Information Systems (September 2024) for integration and engineering support of three receive and one transmit electronically steered antennas with beamforming devices; and a $1.25 million definitive contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory (March 2026) for a lightweight, high-power phased-array antenna under total small business set-aside.

Activity has remained sparse over the past five years — one award in 2022 through two in 2023 and four in 2024 — with three awards (combined potential value $8.1 million) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The portfolio reflects Thinkom's research and development specialization: the top PSC codes are defense system electronics research categories (basic and applied research combined, 12 awards), with secondary concentration in radar equipment and other defense research classifications. The source does not indicate subcontractor relationships; Thinkom operates solely as a prime.
