About the company
Anixter Inc. Wire And Cable Division, operating as Anixter, is a subsidiary of Wesco Distribution, Inc. that supplies electrical cables, fiber optic cable, connectors, media converters, and related infrastructure equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor (90% of recent awards) on a full-and-open basis. Based in Metairie, Louisiana, Anixter competes without set-aside protection across its federal footprint, though recent awards include two Total Small Business set-aside purchase orders from the United States Penitentiary Marion in 2026.
Anixter's customer base is heavily concentrated with the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons system. The top five customer entities account for 84% of recent awards by count, dominated overwhelmingly by the United States Penitentiary Marion (47 awards, $13.6 million combined potential value). The gap between volume and dollar concentration is stark: Marion drives nearly 90% of the combined potential value across Anixter's entire footprint. Three other Bureau of Prisons facilities — the Federal Correctional Institution Memphis (11 awards, $454 thousand) and the Bureau of Prisons Central Office (1 award, $739 thousand) — provide secondary demand. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command ranks second by award count (18 awards) but carries only $12 thousand in combined potential value, indicating small transactional orders. This portfolio structure reflects Anixter's core business: delivering Dahlgren cable and fiber, standardized electrical connectors, and cabling assemblies for correctional facility infrastructure and naval ship construction.
Representative prime work includes an $889,600 indefinite delivery contract with the Bureau of Prisons Marion held through 2023–2024 that was exercised repeatedly across multiple delivery orders; a $271,802 purchase order from Marion for cable and fiber in August 2024; a $113,896 purchase order from the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Joint Base San Antonio for media converters in August 2023; and recent 2026 Total Small Business purchase orders from Marion for cables and electrical equipment valued at $18,962 and $20,532. Anixter places task orders under two named indefinite delivery contracts: 15UC0C21D00001702 (11 task orders, $8.3 million combined potential value) and 15UC0C18D00000682 (6 task orders, $3.7 million combined potential value), both anchored to Bureau of Prisons demand.
In its subcontractor role (10% of recent awards), Anixter supplies cable, cabling assemblies, and material purchases to large defense primes. Named subs include Huntington Ingalls Incorporated on DDG 51 class ship construction and DDG 1002 shore support work; Marinette Marine Corporation on FFG(X) guided missile frigate detail design and construction; and Textron Systems Corp on LCAC 100 class craft long lead time material. A September 2026 sub with Red Peak Technical Services delivered cameras and mounts for NAVCONBRIG ESCS maintenance technical support.
Activity has been volatile: eight awards in 2022, declining to three in 2023, rebounding to nine in 2025, and dropping to three in 2026 year-to-date. Only one award (combined potential value $21 thousand) reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, placing minimal recompete risk in the near term. The combined potential value across all awards stands at $15.1 million, with $6.7 million obligated (45% of potential), indicating typical government payment lag on delivery orders. Anixter's federal footprint centers on electrical hardware and supplies (45 awards), cable and wire assemblies (15 awards), and fiber optic cables (4 awards) under NAICS codes for electrical apparatus and equipment merchant wholesale and fiber optic cable manufacturing.
