Interconnection Equipment Contract

The Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command awarded this Master IDIQ on December 18, 2019, for wiring harnesses, accessories, and installation kits used in electrical equipment interconnection, with ordering authority through December 17, 2029. The vehicle carries a combined potential value of $244.9 million, of which $244.8 million (100 percent) is already obligated across 610 task orders, though ordering momentum has declined sharply: the vehicle issued 171 orders in 2022, fell to 125 in 2023, 63 in 2024, and only 25 in 2025, with just 2 orders placed through April 2026.

ACE Electronics Defense Systems, LLC dominates the vehicle, holding 163 orders worth $77.7 million in combined potential value—31.8 percent of all orders and 31.7 percent of total value. DRS Network & Imaging Systems LLC ranks second by value at $50.3 million across 37 orders, while Tactical & Survival Specialties, LLC holds 112 orders valued at $40.3 million. Tabet Manufacturing Company, Inc. and Enterprise Cabling, Inc. round out the five largest awardees. Together these five primes hold 486 of 610 orders (79.7 percent) and capture 89 percent of combined potential value, indicating tight competitive concentration.

Funding is overwhelmingly concentrated in the Army: the Department of the Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command placed 191 orders worth $189.2 million (77.3 percent of combined potential value), while the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime placed 405 orders but at minimal average value ($5.6 million total, or 2.3 percent), and the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command placed 12 orders valued at $50 million. The remaining two customers represent negligible volume.

Set-aside designations show 88 percent of orders (537) are unrestricted, with 12 percent (73 orders) designated Total Small Business, suggesting the vehicle operates as largely open competition with modest small-business participation. Task orders range from under $1,000 to over $7 million, with firm fixed pricing throughout. Recent mega-orders include a $7.1 billion delivery order (SPRBL120D0015-SPRBL124F0139, August 2024), a $5.9 billion order (SPRBL120D0012-SPRBL124F0077, May 2024), and a $5.1 billion order (SPRBL120D0010-SPRBL124F0168, September 2024), though the source does not clarify whether these represent a single delivery or are stated as ceiling values. With 3.5 years of ordering authority remaining and minimal recent activity, this vehicle appears to be in decline, with most available obligation already committed.

Provides various types of wiring harnesses, accessories, and installation kits for use in the interconnection of electrical equipment.
