Yankee Microwave, Inc.

Yankee Microwave, Inc., a small business Subchapter S corporation based in Harrison, Maine, installs and maintains Adaptive Central Receive (ACRX) communications tower and antenna infrastructure for federal law enforcement and defense agencies as a prime contractor (99% of awards) operating almost exclusively under small-business set-asides on task orders and purchase orders.

Customer concentration is extreme and agency-dependent. The Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division accounts for 63 of 105 total awards (86% of award count) and $6.1 million of the $9.7 million combined potential value—a dominant, single-agency footprint sustained by a $3.1 million Indefinite Delivery/Quantity contract (15F06720D0001560) awarded in July 2020 and running through July 2025. The FBI IDV has supported 51 task orders carrying $2.5 million in combined potential value. DHS Chief Procurement Officer ranks second with 14 awards ($313 thousand), while DHS Customs and Border Protection, the Department of the Army (Maine Army National Guard), and Naval Air Systems Command round out the active customer set with smaller award volumes. GSA Federal Acquisition Service, as grantor rather than customer agency, holds two awards ($1.3 million combined potential value) — the $500 thousand Federal Supply Schedule contract awarded April 28, 2025 through April 27, 2030, and an underlying GSA registration.

Yankee Microwave's capability portfolio centers narrowly on ACRX tower and antenna installation, maintenance, and related infrastructure work. Representative FBI prime awards include a $185.2 thousand delivery order (February 14, 2024) for ACRX tower installation at Mt. Diablo, Levee Road, and Lindsay Street with ultimate completion October 31, 2026; a $136.9 thousand delivery order (June 14, 2024) for ACRX installation services nationwide; and a $101.7 thousand delivery order (November 28, 2023) for tower installation in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Outside the FBI relationship, Yankee Microwave holds a $159.7 thousand Army definitive contract (awarded September 30, 2022, Ultimate completion September 29, 2027) for MARS (Military Affiliate Radio System) high-frequency tower maintenance and repairs at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, and delivers antenna and equipment services to DHS under smaller orders. The company uses NAICS 238210 (Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction, 69 awards) as its primary code, with secondary coding under 541519 (Other Computer Related Services, 22 awards) and 811212 (Communication Equipment Repair and Maintenance, 6 awards).

The GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract registered three Special Item Numbers: 54151S (Information Technology Professional Services), 33411 (Purchase of New Equipment), and OLM (Order Level Materials). Labor rates span seven categories from Administrative Specialist ($55.17 per hour, high school education, 5 years experience) through Program Manager ($102.20 per hour, bachelor's degree, 10 years experience), with mid-tier roles including Electro Mechanical Technicians at experience tiers ($63.15–$79.65 per hour) and Communications Engineers ($95.54 per hour, bachelor's degree, 12 years experience). No positions carry security clearance requirements. Equipment pricing on the schedule includes GAM Electronics antenna products and accessories ($5.15–$205.33 per unit), reflecting Yankee Microwave's dual role as installer and small-volume equipment vendor.

Activity has been volatile: six awards in 2022, fifteen in 2023 (peak), ten in 2024, seven in 2025, and six through September 2026. The FBI IDV faces a July 2025 expiration — a significant recompete event for the company's anchor contract. Ten awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $890 thousand, exposing the company to near-term recompete pressure across its FBI and DHS portfolios. Combined obligated dollars through recent awards total $5.2 million against $9.7 million potential value (53% obligation rate). Yankee Microwave operates as a pure prime contractor with one sub-award (1% of portfolio) and carries no named subcontractor relationships, indicating a vertically integrated or direct-hire staffing model for installation crews. The company competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on FBI work and occasionally in full-and-open procurements when the FBI customer does not apply set-aside restrictions.
