Viavi Solutions Inc.

Viavi Solutions Inc. Communications Test Division operates as a manufacturer of specialized test and measurement equipment serving the U.S. Department of Defense and civilian agencies as a prime contractor (57% of recent awards) and subcontractor (43%). The division is a subsidiary of Viavi Solutions Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of goods headquartered in Chandler, Arizona, with the Communications Test Division operating from Germantown, Maryland. Viavi competes in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations across its federal portfolio.

Viavi's federal work centers on design, manufacturing, and provisioning of electronic test sets, network testing equipment, and specialized measurement instruments for defense and aerospace applications. Representative prime work includes a $9.9 million delivery order from Army PEO Combat Support and Combat Service Support (awarded April 2022, ultimate completion May 2023) for test and measurement equipment and services performed in Wichita, Kansas; a $719.9 thousand sole-source purchase order from Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (March 2024) for 5G network testing equipment upgrade including TM-Lite network testers and O-RAN security test solutions; a $620.4 thousand purchase order from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (July 2024, performance through June 2027) supporting communications infrastructure; and a $254 thousand definitive contract from NTIA (August 2024) for TM500 Open RAN end-to-end test support. Viavi also delivers test-equipment repair, calibration, and component manufacturing — including fuel quantity indicators, cable assemblies, adapter hardware, and MEMSense inertial measurement units — across Navy, Defense Logistics Agency, and Army platforms.

Customer concentration is dispersed across defense and civilian agencies. The top five funding sources account for 52% of combined potential value: Army PEO CSCSS leads with four awards valued at $21.3 million; Naval Air Systems Command and Naval Air Warfare Center together represent thirteen awards worth $5.2 million; Defense Logistics Agency Aviation carries seventeen awards (primarily sub-$200 thousand purchase orders) totaling $1.9 million; and NTIA holds eight awards valued at $1.8 million. By award count, DLA Aviation (17 awards), Naval Air Systems Command / Naval Air Warfare Center (13 awards), and Air Force Materiel Command (13 awards) dominate, though dollar concentration is anchored by a single large Army program. Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, Naval Sea Systems Command, Marine Corps, and Connecticut National Guard round out active customers.

Viavi holds position on multiple indefinite delivery vehicles. An Indefinite Delivery Contract (FA823221D0004) with Air Force carries twelve task orders; an IDC (W15QKN19D0079) with Army carries four task orders worth $21.3 million combined; a $1.245 million single-award IDC with Defense Logistics Agency Aviation for B1B Fuel Quantity I equipment runs through March 2028; a Blanket Purchase Agreement with PEO Aviation (established March 2025, ceiling $5,000) covers IFR 6015 calibration repairs through March 2030; and Special Operations Equipment - Tailored Logistics Support carries four task orders. Additional vehicles include Air Force FACs FA863420D2704 (three task orders) and FA862021G4009 (two task orders).

Activity has grown substantially, rising from twelve awards in 2022 to forty-eight in 2025, with five awards recorded year-to-date in 2026 (as of mid-September). Only three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $702 thousand — minimal recompete exposure. In its subcontractor role, Viavi supplies test equipment, specialized components, and engineering support to prime contractors including The Boeing Company (F-15EX, F-15 EPAWSS, and advanced pilot training support), BAE Systems (F-16 support equipment and fuel quantity test sets), Lockheed Martin (Aegis FMS test site establishment and infrastructure support for development flight testing), Northrop Grumman (GBSD engineering and manufacturing development), Sierra Nevada Company (Big Safari measurement instruments and electronic devices), and Raytheon (LTAMDS test fixtures). Booz Allen Hamilton engaged Viavi's NITRO Wireless Lab-as-a-Service and Test-as-a-Service 5G and Open RAN capabilities for autonomous weapon system design evaluation.

Viavi's capability concentration aligns with its equipment-manufacturing and aerospace-test focus. The top five NAICS categories account for sixty-eight awards: Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity (31 awards), Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (16 awards), Search and Detection Navigation Systems Manufacturing (13 awards), Aircraft Manufacturing (9 awards), and Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (8 awards). PSC concentration reflects the same posture — twenty awards under Electrical and Electronic Properties Measuring and Testing Instruments, eleven under Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment, and four each under Network Digital Products and Equipment Maintenance/Repair of Measuring Tools. Viavi operates from multiple locations including Germantown, Maryland (primary Communications Test Division base), Washington, D.C., San Diego, California, and Anchorage, Alaska, matching the geographic spread of its customer and subcontractor network.
