Vpt, Inc.

Vpt, Inc., a manufacturer of radiation-hardened power conversion and filtering components, operates as a subcontractor (69% of recent awards) and occasional prime contractor (31%) serving defense and aerospace agencies with specialized electronic hardware for space, missile, and high-radiation environments. The company is a subsidiary of HEICO Aerospace Corp, a for-profit manufacturer based in Hollywood, Florida; Vpt itself is headquartered in Blacksburg, Virginia. Vpt does not hold SBA certifications and competes full-and-open across defense and civilian space agencies.

Vpt's capability portfolio centers on radiation-hardened DC/DC converters, isolated power supplies, EMI filters, and hybrid microcircuit components engineered for aerospace and defense applications where standard commercial-grade electronics fail. As a prime, Vpt delivers sole-source purchase orders directly to NASA and the Navy for space-grade power supplies and filters; a representative example is a $116,885 purchase order from NASA's Shared Services Center (August 2026) for space-grade EMI filters and DC/DC converters for the WFCC and SuRSeP Power Boards, with 3-to-12-week delivery windows. Another prime award is a $30,109 firm fixed-price purchase order from NASA (September 2025) for radiation-hardened isolated power supplies with 50-kilorad total dose hardness ratings. In its subcontractor role, Vpt supplies DC/DC converters, power supplies, hybrid converters, and EMI filters to Lockheed Martin on dozens of sub-awards across the NGI AUR Development, PATRIOT PAC-3, and Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) programs; to Northrop Grumman on Helioswarm mission support and NGI AUR development work; to KBR Wyle on High-Performance Computing II (HHPC2) DC/DC converter and filter manufacturing; and to Raytheon, Viasat, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, and others across defense and space research missions.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward defense. The DOD Missile Defense Agency anchors the portfolio with 35 awards and $1.2 million in combined potential value, followed by the Department of the Army (34 awards), the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Eglin Air Force Base (14 awards), the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (10 awards, $214 thousand combined potential value), and NASA's Shared Services Center (4 awards, $199 thousand combined potential value). These five agencies account for 64% of recent awards. The combined potential value across all 163 awards totals only $2.5 million, but the vendor has obligated $40.9 million across these awards — indicating substantial work-in-progress on contracts where the full scope exceeds published ceilings.

Vpt's activity trajectory shows volatility within a small-order ecosystem: 16 awards in 2022, 23 in 2023, a spike to 45 in 2024, declining to 23 in 2025, and 7 through August 2026. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal — one award with $117 thousand combined potential value faces completion by the deadline. Parent vehicles are thin and specialized: Vpt has 4 task orders under Air Force Indefinite Delivery Contract FA830719D0001, 2 task orders under Government-Wide Acquisition Contract 80JSC025D0068, and scattered single or dual task orders on Navy and Army IDCs. The vendor does not anchor any large multiple-award IDIQs or GWACs; work flows primarily through direct purchase orders and subcontract flow-downs from primes.

Vpt subcontracts heavily to aerospace and defense primes. Lockheed Martin is the dominant subcontracting partner, with dozens of sub-awards spanning missile production (JASSM, LRASM, PAC-3, NGI AUR) and space systems (MUSE). Northrop Grumman is a secondary channel for space mission support and R&D work. Viasat, Raytheon, KBR Wyle, Johns Hopkins APL, Honeywell Federal Manufacturing, and others round out the prime network. NAICS concentration skews heavily toward Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing (49 awards) and Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (41 awards), with secondary work in Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing (27 awards). Vpt does not compete under set-asides and carries no visible small business or minority certifications; the company's moat is technical specialization in radiation-hardened component design and manufacturing, where sole-source justifications and technical uniqueness drive award eligibility rather than size or ownership status.
