Amphenol Corp

Amphenol Corp's Amphenol Aerospace Operations division manufactures and supplies electrical connectors, cable assemblies, and related interconnect components to the Department of Defense and federal logistics agencies as a large-business prime contractor with no small-business set-asides across its federal footprint. The division is based in Sidney, New York and operates as part of Amphenol Corporation, a global manufacturer of high-performance electrical and electronic interconnection solutions headquartered in Wallingford, Connecticut, with related subsidiaries including Amphenol Custom Cable Inc. and Positronic Industries Inc.

Amphenol Aerospace Operations' federal revenue concentrates almost entirely on Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, which accounts for 2,885 awards (83% of total awards) valued at $58.5 million in combined potential value across the vendor's footprint. The division's next three customer agencies—Department of Navy Naval Sea Systems Command ($1.4 million), Department of Navy Naval Air Systems Command ($1.2 million), and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation ($1.2 million)—together represent less than 5% of the dollar volume. This extreme customer concentration reflects Amphenol's embedded position as a primary supplier of National Stock Number-listed electrical connector components for military logistics operations at Defense Logistics Agency depots across Continental and Outside Continental United States locations. The division holds multiple single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each valued up to $350,000, with annual order volumes ranging from four to twelve discrete purchase orders per contract to deliver connector plugs, receptacles, electrical contacts, fiber optic contacts, covers, and adapters.

The division competes almost exclusively full-and-open; none of its recent awards carry small-business set-aside designations. Recent representative prime work includes a $408,084 firm fixed-price purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (April 2025) for low magnetic signature electrical connectors supporting the MK16 Mod 1 Underwater Breathing Apparatus, an $84,432 order from Naval Supply Systems Command (September 2025) for bare printed circuit board manufacturing and electronic assemblies, an $61,018 purchase order from Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (November 2025) for F-35 CCPS ITA connectors, and a $145,242 order from DLA Land and Maritime (November 2025) for 629 units of electrical connector receptacles. The remaining volume consists of smaller orders ranging from under one thousand dollars to twenty thousand dollars, issued as purchase orders and delivery orders under established indefinite delivery vehicles.

Activity has fluctuated but remained substantial—145 awards in 2025, 131 in 2024, with a five-year average of 91 awards annually. The division faces minimal near-term recompete pressure; only seven awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry a combined potential value of $136 thousand. Amphenol Aerospace Operations' top parent vehicles are DLA-managed indefinite delivery contracts: SPM7MX13D0067 (128 task orders, $1.1 million), SPM7MX12D0069 (127 task orders, $632 thousand), and SPM7MX11D0033 (84 task orders, $427 thousand), structured to support ongoing military logistics component replenishment.

In its subcontractor role, the division delivers connectors, cable assemblies, and related interconnect solutions to major defense primes: General Dynamics Land Systems (supplying connectors for M1 Abrams family vehicles, SEPV3 variants, and the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle across multiple 2025 and 2026 sub-awards), Raytheon Company (Patriot systems, F-15EX radars, F/A-18 spares, and SSSA modification kits), Bell Textron (Future Vertical Lift FLRAA aircraft), Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (Next Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared space vehicles), Lockheed Martin Corporation (F-35 production and PAC-3 missile systems), L3Harris Technologies (receiver and defensive systems for naval and aircraft platforms), and Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Combat Rescue Helicopter). Additional subs include Boeing (Space Launch System stages), Science Applications International Corporation (MK48 submarine torpedoes), and Honeywell Federal Manufacturing (National Security Campus operations).

The division's portfolio is dominated by a single NAICS category—Electronic Connector Manufacturing (2,420 awards)—with smaller secondary exposures to nonferrous forging (158 awards), capacitor and inductor manufacturing (140 awards), and current-carrying wiring device manufacturing (124 awards). Product Service Code distribution is similarly concentrated: 2,670 awards for electrical connectors, with 202 awards for filters and networks and 173 for miscellaneous electrical and electronic components. The division's capability framing is straightforward and narrowly focused on component supply: National Stock Number-listed plug connectors, receptacle connectors, electrical contacts, cable assemblies, covers, adapters, and related aerospace and military-grade interconnect accessories manufactured to qualified products list specifications and military standards.
