Purchase Order SPRRA226P0004

Connectec Company, Inc., a small business aerospace and defense manufacturer based in Irvine, California, was awarded a $64,350 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency on January 12, 2026, for the procurement of cable assemblies (NSN 5995-01-206-2545) in support of the D6 Patriot missile system. The contract, with a completion date of January 1, 2027, calls for 18 cable assemblies to be delivered to the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command at Redstone Technical Test Center in Alabama. The solicitation, initially posted as a Total Small Business set-aside in September 2025, was subsequently amended to unrestricted full and open competition with a HUBZone price evaluation preference. Connectec's extensive experience manufacturing electrical, mechanical, and structural components for defense platforms, including cable assemblies and wiring harnesses across multiple military programs, positions the company well to fulfill this requirement.

This award supports the Surface-to-Air Missile Product Improvement (PATRIOT P3I) program, a Major Defense Acquisition Program managed by the U.S. Army that encompasses continuous improvements and upgrades to the PATRIOT missile defense system. The program delivers capabilities for both domestic U.S. military modernization and foreign military sales to allied nations including Poland, Romania, Switzerland, Korea, and Ukraine. While Raytheon Company and Dynetics, Inc. serve as primary contractors for major system components, the government maintains a robust supply base of specialized contractors like Connectec to support critical component production. The cable assembly procurement represents one component within the broader PATRIOT P3I modernization effort, with no small business set-aside designation ultimately applied to this specific award.
