WV Communications Inc.

WV Communications Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of specialized electronic communications equipment and defense electronics based in Thousand Oaks, California, operates as a prime contractor on 86% of its federal awards, competing in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designation. The vendor's primary NAICS footprint spans radio and television broadcasting/wireless communications equipment manufacturing (72 awards), telephone apparatus manufacturing (8 awards), and search/detection/navigation/guidance system manufacturing (6 awards), with PSC concentration in miscellaneous communication equipment (41 awards), amplifiers (13 awards), and antennas and related systems (11 awards).

The vendor's customer base is heavily concentrated in defense and space agencies. The top five customers by award count (52% of total awards) are the Naval Supply Systems Command (30 awards, $2.4 million combined potential value), Naval Air Warfare Center (15 awards, $1 million), NASA Goddard Space Center (10 awards, $1.4 million), NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center (9 awards, $2.1 million), and Naval Sea Systems Command (8 awards, $772 thousand). By potential value, Air Force Materiel Command dominates with $4.8 million across three awards, followed by Naval Supply Systems Command, NASA Armstrong, NASA Goddard, and Naval Air Warfare Center. The divergence between the two rankings reflects Naval Supply's high-volume, lower-unit-value purchase order pattern versus Air Force's smaller order count anchored to higher-value solid-state power amplifier and test equipment procurements.

Recent prime work includes a $501.8 thousand definitive contract with Naval Air Warfare Center for NRE Relay Suite firmware software (completed November 2023), a $594.3 thousand Naval Supply Systems Command purchase order for upconverter unit spare buy inventory (February 2026), a $210.1 thousand Air Force Space Command total small business set-aside for a solid-state power amplifier supporting 10th Space Operations Squadron (December 2025), a $174.1 thousand Air Force portable quad-mode flight termination receiver test set order (February 2026), and a $137.8 thousand Naval Air Warfare Center purchase order for Quad-Mode Flight Termination Receiver Test Set (June 2026). Sole-source and commercial-item-procedure awards dominate the portfolio, reflecting WV Communications' position as the incumbent or sole qualified supplier for specialized aerospace and defense electronics. Activity has grown from one award annually in 2022–2023 to eleven awards per year in 2024–2025, with only one award (combined potential value $50 thousand) facing completion within the next twenty-four months.

WV Communications operates as a subcontractor to Raytheon (test equipment and engineering support on SM-3 Block IIA production, sustaining engineering, and hypersonic missile programs), KBR Wyle Services (NASA Wallops Range operations and maintenance support), BAE Systems (flight termination safety systems equipment), Lockheed Martin (tone generator for STORM project), L3Harris Technologies (AN/PLM-4 radar signal simulator production and repair), Asrc Federal System Solutions (NASA Dryden Aeronautical Test Range operations and research facilities support), Peraton (space communications network modules), and Viasat (communications equipment manufacturing). The vendor's subcontractor role centers on specialized component and test equipment supply to major defense primes, complementing its direct prime relationships with Naval Supply Systems Command, Air Force, and NASA centers.
