Advanced Electro Dynamics Inc.

Advanced Electro Dynamics Inc., a minority-owned, small disadvantaged business and Subcontinent Asian American-owned manufacturer based in Simi Valley, California, supplies electronic components and assemblies to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor exclusively, with 1,379 federal awards spanning purchase orders, delivery orders, and Indefinite Delivery Contracts concentrated in the Defense Logistics Agency.

The company manufactures standardized defense electronics including electrical contacts, connectors, switches, wire assemblies, mounting plates, protective covers, adapter assemblies, base and mast components, electrical grade strips, radio contact strips, pressure switches, and related hardware. Representative work includes a $110,903 delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime for base and mast components (awarded November 2022), a $67,416 delivery order for mast equipment (July 2023), and a $358,000 purchase order for mounting plates supporting Ukrainian logistics (June 2023). More recent awards include a $43,360 delivery order for base and mast components from DLA Land and Maritime (October 2025) and multiple smaller purchase orders for electrical contacts, connector-switch assemblies, and protective components in the $1,000–$27,000 range issued across 2025 and early 2026.

Customer concentration is absolute: DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 947 awards worth $10.8 million (76% of total potential value), followed by DLA Aviation with 329 awards worth $2.7 million (19% of potential value). Troop Support Construction and Equipment, Troop Support Hardware, and other DLA subdivisions make up the remaining 5%. All work is performed at the company's Simi Valley or Santa Susana facilities in California, with deliveries to DLA depots throughout the Continental United States and overseas.

The vendor holds ten active single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with various DLA subdivisions, each carrying ceilings of $250,000 to $350,000 and running through 2024–2030. The most recent is a $350,000 single-award IDC with DLA Aviation awarded December 10, 2025 under total small business set-aside, carrying an ultimate completion date of December 9, 2030. Four task orders totaling $113,820 have issued under an October 2024 Land and Maritime $250,000 IDC for base and mast components through October 2025. These Indefinite Delivery Contracts represent the company's primary vehicle for recurring orders; individual task orders under existing IDCs have ranged from $31 to $110,903, with the majority firm fixed-price and no set-aside designation.

Activity has declined significantly: 169 awards in 2022, dropping to 60 in 2023, 51 in 2024, 53 in 2025, and only 7 in the first quarter of 2026. Combined potential value across all 1,379 awards is $14.2 million, with $9.8 million obligated (69% realization). Only four awards are scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $32 thousand—minimal recompete exposure. The vendor competes full-and-open and under total small business set-aside across its footprint; approximately 15% of awards in the recent sample carry total small business designations, the remainder open competition. Advanced Electro Dynamics operates exclusively as a prime contractor with zero sub-award activity. The company's product portfolio centers on electrical components and assemblies across NAICS categories 334416 (electronic component manufacturing), 335999 (current-carrying wiring device manufacturing), and 332710 (hardware manufacturing), with PSC concentration in miscellaneous electrical and electronic components (PSC 59-P) and connectors. All work is firm fixed-price; the company has maintained the same Simi Valley location and DLA-centric customer base since SAM registration in August 2001.
