UME Voice Inc.

UME Voice Inc., a Petaluma, California-based manufacturer of noise-cancelling and magnetic microphones for military communication equipment, operates as a prime contractor supplying the Defense Logistics Agency and specialized defense research customers, competing exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations across its prime footprint.

UME Voice Inc. is a for-profit manufacturer that holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Land and Maritime valued at $5,959,877 through January 2027, awarded in January 2022 for the estimated annual supply of 4,396 magnetic microphones supporting the Department of Defense's global logistics operations. The IDC was sole-sourced to UME Voice Inc. due to the government's lack of complete technical data for the required microphone specifications, positioning the company as the sole approved source. Since contract award, DLA has issued sixteen delivery orders totaling approximately $1.78 million against this IDC, representing roughly 30 percent of the contract ceiling. Representative recent delivery orders include a $235,450 firm-fixed-price order in October 2025 for magnetic microphones (NSN 8511729380), a $273,360 delivery order in April 2025 for magnetic microphones (NSN 8511352101), and a $131,835 delivery order in August 2024 for magnetic microphones (NSN 8510853097). The company also performs under three other DLA Land and Maritime IDCs (SPE7MX17D0086, SPE7LX15D0002, and SPE7MX22D5011), which collectively account for 76 task orders and $7.2 million in combined potential value.

Customer concentration is extreme and DLA-centric. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 112 of 122 total awards (96% of award count) and $20.6 million of $20.7 million combined potential value (100% of dollars). The company's only other federal customers are the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory ($49,909 SBIR Phase I award for clear communications in noisy environments, November 2021), the Department of the Army Special Operations Command ($30 thousand), the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command ($23 thousand), and minimal exposure to the Department of the Navy and Department of Homeland Security.

Activity has declined over the past five years — seven awards in 2021 to four in both 2024 and 2025 — reflecting task-order flow under the underlying IDCs rather than new vehicle wins. Combined potential value is $20.7 million against $8.3 million in obligated dollars, indicating 40 percent execution to date. UME Voice Inc. competes exclusively under primary NAICS 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC Headsets, Handsets, Microphones And Speakers. The vendor holds no subcontract relationships; 100 percent of awards are prime. No set-aside categories (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB) apply to any awards in the portfolio. The company also operates under the business name Theboom Headsets, referenced in earlier-year DLA delivery orders.
